CVS patch #477161 : New "access" keyword for mmap, from Jay T Miller.
...
This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write-
through and copy-on-write mmaps. A new keyword argument is introduced
because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so
while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to
spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick.
The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward-
compatibility issue here.

need to run dvips. Note that we also assume it is safe if the user
specifically requests PostScript generation. See the comments for further
explanation.

Generalize dictionary() to accept a sequence of 2-sequences. At the
...
outer level, the iterator protocol is used for memory-efficiency (the
outer sequence may be very large if fully materialized); at the inner
level, PySequence_Fast() is used for time-efficiency (these should
always be sequences of length 2).
dictobject.c, new functions PyDict_{Merge,Update}FromSeq2. These are
wholly analogous to PyDict_{Merge,Update}, but process a sequence-of-2-
sequences argument instead of a mapping object. For now, I left these
functions file static, so no corresponding doc changes. It's tempting
to change dict.update() to allow a sequence-of-2-seqs argument too.
Also changed the name of dictionary's keyword argument from "mapping"
to "x". Got a better name? "mapping_or_sequence_of_pairs" isn't
attractive, although more so than "mosop" <wink>.
abstract.h, abstract.tex: Added new PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE function,
much faster than going thru the all-purpose PySequence_Size.
libfuncs.tex:
- Document dictionary().
- Fiddle tuple() and list() to admit that their argument is optional.
- The long-winded repetitions of "a sequence, a container that supports
iteration, or an iterator object" is getting to be a PITA. Many
months ago I suggested factoring this out into "iterable object",
where the definition of that could include being explicit about
generators too (as is, I'm not sure a reader outside of PythonLabs
could guess that "an iterator object" includes a generator call).
- Please check my curly braces -- I'm going blind <0.9 wink>.
abstract.c, PySequence_Tuple(): When PyObject_GetIter() fails, leave
its error msg alone now (the msg it produces has improved since
PySequence_Tuple was generalized to accept iterable objects, and
PySequence_Tuple was also stomping on the msg in cases it shouldn't
have even before PyObject_GetIter grew a better msg).

Applying proposed patch for bug #474583 , optional support for
...
non-standard but common types. Including Martin's suggestion to add
rejected non-standard types from patch #438790 . Specifically,
guess_type(), guess_extension(): Both the functions and the methods
grow an optional "strict" flag, defaulting to true, which determines
whether to recognize non-standard, but commonly found types or not.
Also, I sorted, reformatted, and culled duplicates from the big
types_map dictionary. Note that there are a few non-equivalent
duplicates (e.g. .cdf and .xls) for which the first will just get
thrown away. I didn't remove those though.
Finally, use of the module as a script as grown the -l and -e options
to toggle strictness and to do guess_extension(), respectively.
Doc and unittest updates too.

SF patch #443759 : Add Interface to readline's add_history
...
This was submitted by Moshe, but apparently he's too busy to check it
in himself. He wrote:
Here is a function in GNU readline called add_history,
which is used to manage the history list. Though Python
uses this function internally, it does not expose it to
the Python programmer. This patch adds direct interface
to this function with documentation.
This could be used by friendly modules to "seed" the
history with commands.

Partial patch from SF #452266 , by Jason Petrone.
...
This changes Pythread_start_thread() to return the thread ID, or -1
for an error. (It's technically an incompatible API change, but I
doubt anyone calls it.)

[ #403753 ] zlib decompress; uncontrollable memory usage
...
Mostly by Toby Dickenson and Titus Brown.
Add an optional argument to a decompression object's decompress()
method. The argument specifies the maximum length of the return
value. If the uncompressed data exceeds this length, the excess data
is stored as the unconsumed_tail attribute. (Not to be confused with
unused_data, which is a separate issue.)
Difference from SF patch: Default value for unconsumed_tail is ""
rather than None. It's simpler if the attribute is always a string.

Allow the profiler's calibration constant to be specified in the constructor
...
call, or via setting an instance or class vrbl.
Rewrote the calibration docs.
Modern boxes are so friggin' fast, and a profiler event does so much work
anyway, that the cost of looking up an instance vrbl (the bias constant)
per profile event just isn't a big deal.

The description of dictionary comparison was out of date. Rather than

try to explain the complex general scheme we actually use now, I decided
to spell out only what equality means (which is easy to explain and

The execfile() docs imply it acts on locals same as exec. But in truth

it acts more like assigning to keys in locals(), i.e. modifications to

SF [ #466125 ] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer.

Generalize PyLong_AsLongLong to accept int arguments too. The real point

undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.
