The setobject freelist was consuming memory but not providing much value.
Even when a freelisted setobject was available, most of the setobject
fields still needed to be initialized and the small table still required
a memset(). This meant that the custom freelisting scheme for sets was
providing almost no incremental benefit over the default Python freelist
scheme used by _PyObject_Malloc() in Objects/obmalloc.c.
test_is_alive_after_fork is failing on some old Linux kernels, but
passing on all newer ones. Since virtually anything can go wrong
with locks when mixing threads with fork, replace the most likely
cause with a redundant simple data member.
When test.support was converted to a package, it started silently
skipping the tests which needed to download support data to run.
This change refactors the affected code, and also tidies up
test.support.findfile to remove the unused *here* parameter, document
the *subdir* parameter and rename the *filename* parameter to avoid
shadowing the file builtin and be consistent with the documentation.
The unexpected skips were noticed and reported by Zachary Ware
Issue 18944: fix a 1-character typo in test_set.py.
The error caused test_inline_methods() to test much less than intended.

64-bit/32-bit installer for 10.6+. It is no longer necessary
to install a third-party version of Tcl/Tk 8.5 to work around the
problems in the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5 shipped in OS X 10.6
and later releases.
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"
Issue #18942: sys._debugmallocstats() output was damaged on Windows.
_PyDebugAllocatorStats() called PyOS_snprintf() with a %zd format
code, but MS doesn't support that code. Interpolated
PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T in place of the "z".
