number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers): http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The tests that are expected to break are: test_codecencodings_cn test_codecencodings_hk test_codecencodings_jp test_codecencodings_kr test_codecencodings_tw test_codecs test_multibytecodec This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch, though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
From SF patch #852334.
also modified check_all function to suppress all warnings since they aren't relevant to what this test is doing (allows quiet checking of regsub, for instance)
warnings in this same module, to prevent getting a warning about importing regex (we *know* that it's obsolete :-).
Use != instead of <> since <> is documented as "obsolescent". Use "is" and "is not" when comparing with None or type objects.
The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries. A new docstring was added to formatter. The docstring for os.py was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.
