Known limitations of the current implementation:
- documentation changes are incomplete
- there's a reference leak I haven't tracked down yet
The leak is most visible by running:
./python -m test -R3:3 test_importlib
However, you can also see it by running:
./python -X showrefcount
Importing the array or _testmultiphase modules, and
then deleting them from both sys.modules and the local
namespace shows significant increases in the total
number of active references each cycle. By contrast,
with _testcapi (which continues to use single-phase
initialisation) the global refcounts stabilise after
a couple of cycles.
Along the way, dismantle importlib._bootstrap._SpecMethods as it was
no longer relevant and constructing the new function required
partially dismantling the class anyway.
_decimal:
o Make all "mpd_t to C integer" conversion functions available in both the
64-bit and the 32-bit versions.
o Make all mixed mpd_t/C integer arithmetic functions available in the
32-bit version.
o Better handling of __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS for C++ users.
o Add struct tags (at the request of C++ users).
2) Check for libmpdec.so.2 if --with-system-libmpdec is used.
when building _tkinter. configure has two new options; if used, both must
be specified:
./configure \
--with-tcltk-includes="-I/opt/local/include" \
--with-tcltk-libs="-L/opt/local/lib -ltcl8.5 -ltk8.5"
In addition, the options can be overridden with make:
make \
TCLTK_INCLUDES="-I/opt/local/include" \
TCLTK_LIBS="-L/opt/local/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6"

The "Gestalt" function on OSX is deprecated (starting with OSX 10.8),
remove its usage from the stdlib. The patch removes a number of private
functions and a private module, but does not change the public API.
The removed code was effectively dead, the platform module has used
other code to fetch the OSX version for years and could only use
on the Gestalt-based code as a fallback. That fallback can only trigger
on broken OSX installs (that is, someone has removed parts of the system
install)
