Merge p3yk branch with the trunk up to revision 45595. This breaks a fair
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.

The \module{getpass} module provides two functions:
-\begin{funcdesc}{getpass}{\optional{prompt}}
+\begin{funcdesc}{getpass}{\optional{prompt\optional{, stream}}}
Prompt the user for a password without echoing. The user is
prompted using the string \var{prompt}, which defaults to
- \code{'Password: '}.
+ \code{'Password: '}. On \UNIX, the prompt is written to the
+ file-like object \var{stream}, which defaults to
+ \code{sys.stdout} (this argument is ignored on Windows).
+
Availability: Macintosh, \UNIX, Windows.
+ \versionadded[The \var{stream} parameter]{2.5}
\end{funcdesc}
