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 breakpoint is honored. If condition is absent, any existing
condition is removed; i.e., the breakpoint is made unconditional.
+\item[commands \optional{\var{bpnumber}}]
+
+Specify a list of commands for breakpoint number \var{bpnumber}. The
+commands themselves appear on the following lines. Type a line
+containing just 'end' to terminate the commands. An example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+(Pdb) commands 1
+(com) print some_variable
+(com) end
+(Pdb)
+\end{verbatim}
+
+To remove all commands from a breakpoint, type commands and
+follow it immediately with end; that is, give no commands.
+
+With no \var{bpnumber} argument, commands refers to the last
+breakpoint set.
+
+You can use breakpoint commands to start your program up again.
+Simply use the continue command, or step, or any other
+command that resumes execution.
+
+Specifying any command resuming execution (currently continue,
+step, next, return, jump, quit and their abbreviations) terminates
+the command list (as if that command was immediately followed by end).
+This is because any time you resume execution
+(even with a simple next or step), you may encounter·
+another breakpoint--which could have its own command list, leading to
+ambiguities about which list to execute.
+
+ If you use the 'silent' command in the command list, the
+usual message about stopping at a breakpoint is not printed. This may
+be desirable for breakpoints that are to print a specific message and
+then continue. If none of the other commands print anything, you
+see no sign that the breakpoint was reached.
