X-Git-Tag: v1.6a1~1199
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9e480adf9b3520ea3deb322fd1214f53a2293a0d;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Patch suggested (and partially provided) by Lars Damerow: instead of
always lowercasing the option name, call a method optionxform() which
can be overridden.  Also make the regexps SECTRE and OPTRE non-private
variables so they can also be overridden.
