... I have moved the VC6 files to PC/VC6. I have no plans of maintaining them, and they are as they were last in PCBuild. I see no problem though with somebody else maintaining the for the time being, if somebody volunteers.

A clean checkout of VC6 now builds as well as it did before this. I didn't update it to use any newer versions of external modules, and am out of time for this so won't.

_sre.c still generates lots of warnings about mixed signed/unsigned comparisons.

test_bsddb3 still has tons of failures on Win98SE (many more than in 2.3.3).

test_unicode_file still fails on Win98SE:

test_unicode_file test test_unicode_file failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\test\test_unicode_file.py", line 142, in test_single_files self._test_single(TESTFN_UNICODE) File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\test\test_unicode_file.py", line 116, in _test_single self._do_single(filename) File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\test\test_unicode_file.py", line 32, in _do_single os.utime(filename, None) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 6-7: ordinal not in range(128)

test_urllib2 still fails on Win98SE:

test_urllib2 test test_urllib2 failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\test\test_urllib2.py", line 345, in test_file r = h.file_open(Request(url)) File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\urllib2.py", line 1058, in file_open return self.open_local_file(req) File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\urllib2.py", line 1073, in open_local_file stats = os.stat(localfile) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\test.txt'

test___all__ just started failing on Win98SE, but I assume that's due to a very recent checkin from Barry, and that it will fail the same way everywhere now:

test___all__ test test___all__ failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\test\test___all__.py", line 69, in test_all self.check_all("base64") File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\test\test___all__.py", line 42, in check_all exec "from %s import *" % modname in names File "", line 1, in ? AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'freenet_b64encode'
