Strings are unpickled by calling eval on the string's repr. This
change makes pickle work like cPickle; it checks if the pickled
string is safe to eval and raises ValueError if it is not.
test suite modifications:
Verify that pickle catches a variety of insecure string pickles
Make test_pickle and test_cpickle use exactly the same test suite
Add test for pickling recursive object

created. This allows the application-specific Tkinter
initialization to be executed if present. Also pass an explicit
className parameter to the Tk() constructor.

easier to find.
Fix typo where it was already mentioned.

of globals from sysconfig.
Added 'prefix' and 'exec_prefix' to the list of variables that can be
expanded in installation directories (preserving the stupid old names
of 'sys_prefix' and 'sys_exec_prefix, though).
all that work when someone asks for a "configuration variable" from the
Makefile. Details:
- added 'get_config_vars()': responsible for calling one of the
'_init_*()' functions to figure things out for this platform,
and to provide an interface to the resulting dictionary
- added 'get_config_var()' as a simple interface to the dictionary
loaded by 'get_config_vars()'
- changed the '_init_*()' functions so they load the global dictionary
'_config_vars', rather than spewing their findings all over
the module namespace
- don't delete the '_init_*()' functions when done importing
- adjusted 'customize_compiler()' to the new regime
directory. This avoids acretion of HTML from previous runs which may
have a new name; this would have avoided a lot of the packaging problems
related to changing labels from the old distutils documentation.
This partially addresses SourceForge bug #114318.
Fix the release number -- this is supposed to be the *Python* release,
not the documentation release! The later is given by the combination of
the Python release number and the date. Add a comment so I can keep it
straight.
do_cmd_setshortversion(): Implementation for new markup.
convert_args(): New helper function.
do_cmd_optional(): Modified to understand when it is called from within
a convert_args() invocation.

do_env_methoddesc(),

do_cmd_methodlineni(): Modified to use helper convert_args().
The convert_args() helper and related changes fix the generation of HTML
for the \optional markup, so that bogus </var>...<var> is not generated.
This closes SourceForge bug #113800.
\setshortversion: New markup to help deal with Python having a "real"
version number and an abbreviated version number
used to create pathnames to the library installation.
