\begin{macrodesc}{versionadded}{\op{explanation}\p{version}}
The version of Python which added the described feature to the
library or C API. \var{explanation} should be a \emph{brief}
explanation of the change consisting of a capitalized sentence
fragment; a period will be appended by the formatting process.
This is typically added to the end of the first paragraph of the
description before any availability notes. The location should
be selected so the explanation makes sense and may vary as
needed.

The version of Python in which the named feature was changed in

\end{macrodesc}
The following two macros are used to describe information that's
associated with changes from one release to another. For features
which are described by a single paragraph, these are typically
added as separate source lines at the end of the paragraph. When
adding these to features described by multiple paragraphs, they
are usually collected in a single separate paragraph after the
description. When both \macro{versionadded} and
\macro{versionchanged} are used, \macro{versionadded} should come
first; the versions should be listed in chronological order. Both
of these should come before availability statements. The location
should be selected so the explanation makes sense and may vary as
needed.

When this applies to an entire module, it should be placed at
the top of the module section before any prose.

\var{explanation} should be a \emph{brief} explanation of the

not generally be applied to modules.
