Version 0.8.19 - 8 January 2011
* Add support for Python 2.7
* Fixed SF Bug [ 2209631 ]:
New pcmodules.py module, modulePath code causes import error
* Fixed SF Bug [ 1565876 ]:

* Fixed SF Bug [ 1564614 ]:
pychecker -q on 64-bit ignores the platform-specific stdlib
* Fixed SF Bug [ 1563572 ]:
order of checking files affects errors reported

couldn't find real module does not respect blacklist

pychecker tracebacks when importing zope.interface.declaration

JUMP_IF_FALSE/TRUE_OR_POP, MAP_ADD, PRINT_NEWLINE_TO, SET_ADD, SETUP_WITH,
SLICE0, STORE_MAP, STORE_SLICE+0, STORE_SLICE2, WITH_CLEANUP, YIELD_VALUE

* Fix spurious warning about __set__, __get__, and __delete__ not being special
methods.
* Fix inability to disable Warning about constant setattr()/getattr()
* Fix spurious warning on min/max not accepting kwarg of key in Python 2.5
* Add some __special__ pickling methods that were missing
* Add --missingattrs option to ignore some (but not all) attribute names

Version 0.8.17 - 3 February 2006
* Fix spurious warning for Statement with no effect using bit shifts
* Add -#/--limit command line option to set the max # of warnings to show
* Remove broken command line options: -e/--errors, --complexity
* Add -e/--level command line options which allows the error level
to be specified: error, security, warning, unused, deprecated, style.
These names map to numbers: 90, 90, 70, 50, 40, 10 (error == security).
Specifying a value means all levels equal to or greater than it.
* Add --only option which displays warnings only for files specified
on the command line
* Add --evil option for users to prevent the interpreter from crashing
due to broken C extensions
* Fix wrong file name when warning about returning values from

* Suppress warning about integer division when the code is: int(x / y)

* Fix spurious warning when using augmented assignment (e.g., x += x)
* Fix spurious warning when doing x = not x
* Fix spurious warning for invalid arg count when calling a staticmethod
* Fix spurious warning for setting a variable to itself when: x, y, z = x
* Fix spurious warning when doing some binary operations: self.a ^ self.b
* Fix crash in STORE_ATTR with some list comprehensions in Python 2.2
e.g., a.a = [x for x in range(2) if x > 1]
