[issue7712] Add a context manager to change cwd in test.test_support and run the test suite in a temp dir.

Florent Xicluna added the comment: "Complex is better than complicated... Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules." The module "regrtest" is complex enough. We don't need to keep useless hacks inside. It would be more interesting to replace the hack with some words, or an asse

[issue3132] implement PEP 3118 struct changes

[issue1023290] Conversion of longs to bytes and vice-versa.

Mark Dickinson added the comment: A couple of questions for the backport: (1) should the 'signed' parameter remain keyword-only in 2.7? I'd say yes, to avoid issues when forward-porting code from 2.7 to 3.2. On the other hand, 2.7 doesn't support keyword-only arguments at the Python level,

Stefan Krah added the comment: As an aside, I would not use atof(). Better use something like: char *end; f = strtod(input, &end); if (*end != '\0') { PyErr_Format(PyExc_ValueError, "Could not convert: %s", end); return NULL; } I've two questions: 1) Does the problem still appear in
