changes:
-bugfixes
-portability and documentation improvements
-cleanup
pkgsrc note: added some tweaks to EBCDIC support, both to fix non-
portable assumptions in the code and to work around NetBSD deficiencies;
now it needs only a little fix to CP273 (newline conversion) to make
the selftest succeed on NetBSD
Pkgsrc changes:
o Enable shared libraries for NetBSD, and deal with the resulting
fallout: tests which are written in C need to point their run-path
to the build version of the shared libraries.
o The default is shared libs with .so, except for on Darwin, where
shared libs are named differently. The Darwin part is untested.
(Korean) fonts, and add (commented) dependencies on them. Ok tnn@.

=============================
*Release date: 29-Sep-2009*

after a reference cycle GC which could be recycled by new locals.

UTF-32 stream with a non-raising error handler like "replace" or "ignore".

- Issue #6844: Do not emit DeprecationWarnings when accessing a "message"
attribute on exceptions that was set explicitly.
- Issue #6846: Fix bug where bytearray.pop() returns negative integers.
- Issue #6707: dir() on an uninitialized module caused a crash.
- Issue #6540: Fixed crash for bytearray.translate() with invalid parameters.
- Issue #6573: set.union() stopped processing inputs if an instance of self
occurred in the argument chain.
- Issue #6070: On posix platforms import no longer copies the execute bit
from the .py file to the .pyc file if it is set.
- Issue #4547: When debugging a very large function, it was not always
possible to update the lineno attribute of the current frame.
- Issue #4618: When unicode arguments are passed to print(), the default
separator and end should be unicode also.
- Issue #6119: Fixed a incorrect Py3k warning about order comparisons of
builtin functions and methods.
- Issue #5330: C functions called with keyword arguments were not reported by
the various profiling modules (profile, cProfile). Patch by Hagen Fürstenau.

field specifiers.
- Issue #5994: the marshal module now has docstrings.
- Issue #5981: Fix two minor inf/nan issues in float.fromhex: (1) inf
and nan strings with trailing whitespace were incorrectly rejected
and (2) the interpretation of fromhex('-nan') didn't match that of
float('-nan').
- Issue #5890: in subclasses of 'property' the __doc__ attribute was
shadowed by classtype's, even if it was None. property now
inserts the __doc__ into the subclass instance __dict__.
- Issue #5724: (See also issue #4575.) Fix Py_IS_INFINITY macro to

PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8() once, remember the result and output it in a second
step. This avoids problems with counting UTF-8 bytes that ignores the effect
of using the replace error handler in PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8().
