Apply SF patch #101135 , adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import
...
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.
There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.

Apply SF patch #101029 : call __getitem__ with a proper slice object if there
...
is no __getslice__ available. Also does the same for C extension types.
Includes rudimentary documentation (it could use a cross reference to the
section on slice objects, I couldn't figure out how to do that) and a test
suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new
behaviour.

does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.

Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to write
...
a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call. Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.
This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed. Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.
I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.
