Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Misc
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv28051/Misc

Modified Files:
	NEWS 
Log Message:
- pythunrun.c, Py_Finalize(): move the call to _Py_PrintReferences()
  even farther down, to just before the call to
  _PyObject_DebugMallocStats().  This required the following changes:

- pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an
  exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is
  available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception
  (ever).

- object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL,
  don't raise an exception but return 0.  This means that when
  printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on
  and on.  But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see
  first bullet).

- Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to
  PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.

+ - PyThreadState_GetDict() was changed not to raise an exception or
+   issue a fatal error when no current thread state is available.  This
+   makes it possible to print dictionaries when no thread is active.
+ 
  - LONG_LONG was renamed to PY_LONG_LONG.
