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.

[ #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.

SF patch #461781 by Chris Lawrence: os.path.realpath - Resolve symlinks:
...
Once upon a time, I put together a little function
that tries to find the canonical filename for a given
pathname on POSIX. I've finally gotten around to
turning it into a proper patch with documentation.
On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as
that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are
encountered in the path.
Example:
>>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X')
'/usr/X11R6/bin/X'

SF patch #461413 (Gerhard Häring): Add STARTTLS feature to smtplib
...
This patch adds the features from RFC 2487 (Secure SMTP
over TLS) to the smtplib module:
- A starttls() function
- Wrapper classes that simulate enough of sockets and
files for smtplib, but really wrap a SSLObject
- reset the list of known SMTP extensions at each call
of ehlo(). This should have been the case anyway.

Lots of new text and example code on embedding Python in C, contributed
...
by Albert Hofkamp. Some editing has been done for style and markup
consistency.
This also supplies an example of importing modules and calling a function
defined in the module, so this closes SF bug #440037 as well.
(The long example code was moved to a separate file so that it would
format properly.)

Fix some of the example code; the reference objects do not support a

get() method; just calling them is sufficient. (There was a get() method
for this in an early version of the implementation.)

Add a caveat about boundary conditions and RE concatenation, so that the

Add an example of RE{m,} syntax and what it will and will not match.
