be946bfea7 SF patch 555085 (timeout socket implementation) by Michael Gilfix.
I've made considerable changes to Michael's code, specifically to use
the select() system call directly and to store the timeout as a C
double instead of a Python object; internally, -1.0 (or anything
negative) represents the None from the API.

I'm not 100% sure that all corner cases are covered correctly, so
please keep an eye on this.  Next I'm going to try it Windows before
Tim complains.

No way is this a bugfix candidate. :-)

474458da48 Add constants BOM_UTF8, BOM_UTF16, BOM_UTF16_LE, BOM_UTF16_BE,
BOM_UTF32, BOM_UTF32_LE and BOM_UTF32_BE that represent the Byte
Order Mark in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings for little and
big endian systems.

The old names BOM32_* and BOM64_* were off by a factor of 2.

This closes SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/555360

92cf95f45b Addressed SF bug 421973 (finally).
Rewrote the subsection on coercion rules (and made it a proper
subsection, with a label).  The new section is much less precise,
because precise rules would be too hard to give (== I don't know what
they are any more :-).  OTOH, the new section gives much more
up-to-date information.

Also noted that __coerce__ may return NotImplemented, with the same
meaning as None.

I beg Fred forgiveness: my use of \code{} is probably naive.  Please
fix this and other markup nits.  An index entry would be nice.

This could be a 2.2 bugfix candidate, if we bother about old docs
(Fred?)

59b2a74c75 SF bug 533625 (Armin Rigo). rexec: potential security hole
If a rexec instance allows writing in the current directory (a common
thing to do), there's a way to execute bogus bytecode.  Fix this by
not allowing imports from .pyc files (in a way that allows a site to
configure things so that .pyc files *are* allowed, if writing is not
allowed).

I'll apply this to 2.2 and 2.1 too.
