\item The IDLE integrated development environment has been updated
using the code from the IDLEfork project
(\url{http://idlefork.sf.net}). The most notable feature is that the
code being developed is now executed in a subprocess, meaning that
there's no longer any need for manual \code{reload()} operations.
IDLE's core code has been incorporated into the standard library as the
\module{idlelib} package.
\item The \module{imaplib} module now supports IMAP over SSL.

\item The DOM implementation
in \module{xml.dom.minidom} can now generate XML output in a
particular encoding by providing an optional encoding argument to
the \method{toxml()} and \method{toprettyxml()} methods of DOM nodes.
\item The \module{xmlrpclib} module now supports an XML-RPC extension
for handling nil data values such as Python's \code{None}. Nil values
are always supported on unmarshalling an XML-RPC response. To
generate requests containing \code{None}, you must supply a true value
for the \var{allow_none} parameter when creating a \class{Marshaller}
instance.
\item The new \module{DocXMLRPCServer} module allows writing
self-documenting XML-RPC servers. Run it in demo mode (as a program)
to see it in action. Pointing the Web browser to the RPC server

\begin{itemize}
\item If the \envvar{PYTHONINSPECT} environment variable is set, the
Python interpreter will enter the interactive prompt after running a
Python program, as if Python had been invoked with the \programopt{-i}
option. The environment variable can be set before running the Python
interpreter, or it can be set by the Python program as part of its
execution.
\item The \file{regrtest.py} script now provides a way to allow ``all
resources except \var{foo}.'' A resource name passed to the
\programopt{-u} option can now be prefixed with a hyphen
