  [Bug #1497414] _self is a reserved word in the WATCOM 10.6 C compiler.
  Fix by renaming the variable.

  In a different module, Neal fixed it by renaming _self to self.  There's
  already a variable named 'self' here, so I used selfptr.

  (I'm committing this on a Mac without Tk, but it's a simple search-and-replace.
  <crosses fingers>, so  I'll watch the buildbots and see what happens.)

  In a PYMALLOC_DEBUG build obmalloc adds extra debugging info
  to each allocated block.  This was using 4 bytes for each such
  piece of info regardless of platform.  This didn't really matter
  before (proof: no bug reports, and the debug-build obmalloc would
  have assert-failed if it was ever asked for a chunk of memory
  >= 2**32 bytes), since container indices were plain ints.  But after
  the Py_ssize_t changes, it's at least theoretically possible to
  allocate a list or string whose guts exceed 2**32 bytes, and the
  PYMALLOC_DEBUG routines would fail then (having only 4 bytes
  to record the originally requested size).

  Now we use sizeof(size_t) bytes for each of a PYMALLOC_DEBUG
  build's extra debugging fields.  This won't make any difference
  on 32-bit boxes, but will add 16 bytes to each allocation in
  a debug build on a 64-bit box.

  The first is causing many buildbots to fail test runs, and there
  are multiple causes with seemingly no immediate prospects for
  repairing them.  See python-dev discussion.

  Note that a branch can (and should) be created for resolving these
  problems, like

  svn copy svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/trunk -r46640 svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/branches/NEW_BRANCH

  _PySys_Init():  It's rarely a good idea to size a buffer to the

  11 for -(2**31-1)).  So reserve 128 bytes instead -- nothing is

  SF patch 1501987:  Remove randomness from test_exceptions,
  from ?iga Seilnacht (sorry about the name, but Firefox
  on my box can't display the first character of the name --
  the SF "Unix name" is zseil).

  This appears to cure the oddball intermittent leaks across
  runs when running test_exceptions under -R.  I'm not sure
  why, but I'm too sleepy to care ;-)

  The thrust of the SF patch was to remove randomness in the
  pickle protocol used.  I changed the patch to use
  range(pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL + 1), to try both pickle and
  cPickle, and randomly mucked with other test lines to put
  statements on their own lines.

  Not a bugfix candidate (this is fiddling new-in-2.5 code).

+MacOSX Notes
+============
+
+This document provides a quick overview of some Mac OS X specific features in
+the Python distribution.
+
+
+Building and using a universal binary of Python on Mac OS X
+===========================================================
+
+1. What is a universal binary
+-----------------------------
+
+A universal binary build of Python contains object code for both PPC and i386
+and can therefore run at native speed on both classic powerpc based macs and
+the newer intel based macs.
+
+2. How do I build a universal binary
+------------------------------------
+
+You can enable universal binaries by specifying the "--enable-universalsdk"
+flag to configure::
+
+  $ ./configure --enable-universalsdk
+  $ make
+  $ make install
+
+This flag can be used a framework build of python, but also with a classic
+unix build. Either way you will have to build python on Mac OS X 10.4 (or later)
+with Xcode 2.1 (or later). You also have to install the 10.4u SDK when 
+installing Xcode.
+
+
+Building and using a framework-based Python on Mac OS X.
+========================================================
+
+
+1. Why would I want a framework Python instead of a normal static Python?
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The main reason is because you want to create GUI programs in Python. With the
+exception of X11/XDarwin-based GUI toolkits all GUI programs need to be run 
+from a fullblown MacOSX application (a ".app" bundle).
+
+While it is technically possible to create a .app without using frameworks you
+will have to do the work yourself if you really want this.
+
+A second reason for using frameworks is that they put Python-related items in
+only two places: "/Library/Framework/Python.framework" and 
+"/Applications/MacPython 2.5".  This simplifies matters for users installing 
+Python from a binary distribution if they want to get rid of it again. Moreover,
+due to the way frameworks work a user without admin privileges can install a 
+binary distribution in his or her home directory without recompilation.
+
+2. How does a framework Python differ from a normal static Python?
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In everyday use there is no difference, except that things are stored in
+a different place. If you look in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework
+you will see lots of relative symlinks, see the Apple documentation for
+details. If you are used to a normal unix Python file layout go down to
+Versions/Current and you will see the familiar bin and lib directories.
+
+3. Do I need extra packages?
+----------------------------
+
+Yes, probably.  If you want Tkinter support you need to get the OSX AquaTk 
+distribution, this is installed by default on Mac OS X 10.4 or later. If
+you want wxPython you need to get that. If you want Cocoa you need to get
+PyObjC. 
+
+4. How do I build a framework Python?
+-------------------------------------
+
+This directory contains a Makefile that will create a couple of python-related
+applications (fullblown OSX .app applications, that is) in
+"/Applications/MacPython 2.3", and a hidden helper application Python.app 
+inside the Python.framework, and unix tools "python" and "pythonw" into 
+/usr/local/bin.  In addition it has a target "installmacsubtree" that installs 
+the relevant portions of the Mac subtree into the Python.framework.
+
+It is normally invoked indirectly through the main Makefile, as the last step
+in the sequence
+
+ 1. ./configure --enable-framework
+
+ 2. make
+ 
+ 3. make install
+
+This sequence will put the framework in /Library/Framework/Python.framework,
+the applications in /Applications/MacPython 2.5 and the unix tools in 
+/usr/local/bin.
+
+Installing in another place, for instance $HOME/Library/Frameworks if you have
+no admin privileges on your machine, has only been tested very lightly. This
+can be done by configuring with --enable-framework=$HOME/Library/Frameworks.
+The other two directories, /Applications/MacPython-2.3 and /usr/local/bin, will 
+then also be deposited in $HOME. This is sub-optimal for the unix tools, which 
+you would want in $HOME/bin, but there is no easy way to fix this right now.
+
+Note that there are no references to the actual locations in the code or
+resource files, so you are free to move things around afterwards. For example,
+you could use --enable-framework=/tmp/newversion/Library/Frameworks and use
+/tmp/newversion as the basis for an installer or something.
+
+If you want to install some part, but not all, read the main Makefile. The
+frameworkinstall is composed of a couple of sub-targets that install the
+framework itself, the Mac subtree, the applications and the unix tools.
+
+There is an extra target frameworkinstallextras that is not part of the
+normal frameworkinstall which installs the Demo and Tools directories
+into /Applications/MacPython-2.3, this is useful for binary distributions.
+
+What do all these programs do?
+===============================
+
+"IDLE.app" is an integrated development environment for Python: editor,
+debugger, etc.
+
+"PythonLauncher.app" is a helper application that will handle things when you
+double-click a .py, .pyc or .pyw file. For the first two it creates a Terminal
+window and runs the scripts with the normal command-line Python. For the
+latter it runs the script in the Python.app interpreter so the script can do
+GUI-things. Keep the "alt" key depressed while dragging or double-clicking a
+script to set runtime options. These options can be set once and for all
+through PythonLauncher's preferences dialog.
+
+"BuildApplet.app" creates an applet from a Python script. Drop the script on it
+and out comes a full-featured MacOS application. There is much more to this,
+to be supplied later. Some useful (but outdated) info can be found in
+Mac/Demo.
+
+The commandline scripts /usr/local/bin/python and pythonw can be used to run
+non-GUI and GUI python scripts from the command line, respectively.
+
+How do I create a binary distribution?
+======================================
+
+Go to the directory "Mac/OSX/BuildScript". There you'll find a script 
+"build-installer.py" that does all the work. This will download and build
+a number of 3th-party libaries, configures and builds a framework Python,
+installs it, creates the installer pacakge files and then packs this in a 
+DMG image.
+
+The script will build a universal binary, you'll therefore have to run this
+script on Mac OS X 10.4 or later and with Xcode 2.1 or later installed.
+
+All of this is normally done completely isolated in /tmp/_py, so it does not
+use your normal build directory nor does it install into /.
+
+Because of the way the script locates the files it needs you have to run it
+from within the BuildScript directory. The script accepts a number of 
+command-line arguments, run it with --help for more information.
+
+Odds and ends
+=============
+
+Something to take note of is that the ".rsrc" files in the distribution are
+not actually resource files, they're AppleSingle encoded resource files. The
+macresource module and the Mac/OSX/Makefile cater for this, and create
+".rsrc.df.rsrc" files on the fly that are normal datafork-based resource
+files.
