! Aside from the general new Python 2.2a2 listed in the general relnotes file
  there is some other new machine-independent stuff in this release as well, as

  Macintosh linefeeds (CR, '\r') and present both of them as '\n'. This is done on
  a low level, so it works for files opened by scripts as well as for your scripts
! and modules itself.
  
  But:
  - this works only for input, and there's no way to find out what the original
    linefeed convention of the file was.
- - this is unconditional, so there's no way to turn it off, either on a file-by-file
-   basis or globally (but opening binary files works as it always has, of course).
  - Windows \r\n linefeeds are not supported and get turned into \n\n.

  It is probably a good idea to run the automatic tests. Start
! Python and "import test.autotest". 
  
! Three tests will fail on MacOS9, all with MemoryErrors:
  test_longexp, test_sha and test_zlib (on MacOSX nothing should fail).

  It is probably a good idea to run the automatic tests. Start
! Python and "import test.regrtest ; test.regrtest.main()". 
  
! test_time will fail because MacPython accepts bogus values for mktime(), this
! will be fixed later.
! 
! test_descrtut will fail because of a problem with the test itself.
