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.
(branch-creation time) up to 43067. 43068 and 43069 contain a little
swapping action between re.py and sre.py, and this mightily confuses svn
merge, so later changes are going in separately.
This merge should break no additional tests.
The last-merged revision is going in a 'last_merge' property on '.' (the
branch directory.) Arbitrarily chosen, really; if there's a BCP for this, I
couldn't find it, but we can easily change it afterwards ;)
"""
The attached patch fixes all the ctypes tests so they pass on amd64.
It also fixes several warnings. I'm not sure what else to do with the
patch. Let me know how you want to handle these in the future.
I'm not sure the patch is 100% correct. You will need to decide what
can be 64 bits and what can't. I believe
sq_{item,slice,ass_item,ass_slice} all need to use Py_ssize_t. The
types in ctypes.h may not require all the changes I made. I don't
know how you want to support older version, so I unconditionally
changed the types to Py_ssize_t.
"""
The patch is also in the ctypes SVN repository now, after small
changes to add compatibility with older Python versions.
