* Replace sprintf message with a constant message string -- this error
message ran on every invocation except straight deletions but it was
only needed when the rhs was not iterable. The message was also
out-of-date and did not reflect that iterable arguments were allowed.
* For inner loops that do not make ref count adjustments, use memmove()
for fast copying and better readability.
* For inner loops that do make ref count adjustments, speed them up by
factoring out the constant structure reference and using vitem[] instead.
* Defer error handling for wrong number of arguments to the
unpack_iterable() function. Cuts the code size almost in half.
* Replace function calls to PyList_Size() and PyTuple_Size() with
their smaller and faster macro counterparts.
* Move the constant structure references outside of the inner loops.
Side-effects were deemed unnecessary and were causing problems at shutdown
time when threads were catching exceptions at start time and then triggering
exceptions trying to call currentThread() after gc'ed. Masked the initial
exception which was deemed bad.
Fixes bug #754449 .
The writelines() method now accepts any iterable argument and writes
the lines one at a time rather than using ''.join(lines) followed by
a single write. Results in considerable memory savings and makes the
method suitable for use with generator expressions.

* Using addition instead of substraction on array indices allows the
compiler to use a fast addressing mode. Saves about 10%.
* Using PyTuple_GET_ITEM and PyList_SET_ITEM is about 7% faster than
PySequenceFast_GET_ITEM which has to make a list check on every pass.
Since it is known ahead of time that UTC and GMT always have no DST adjustment
then just set the isdst value to 0 even if tzname[0] == tzname[1] .
Fixes bug #897817 .
(Championed by Bob Ippolito.)
The update() method for mappings now accepts all the same argument forms
as the dict() constructor. This includes item lists and/or keyword
arguments.
are within proper boundaries as specified in the docs.
This can break possible code (datetime module needed changing, for instance)
that uses 0 for values that need to be greater 1 or greater (month, day, and
day of year).
Fixes bug #897625.
__getitem__() and __setitem__().
Simplifies the API, reduces the code size, adds flexibility, and makes
deques work with bisect.bisect(), random.shuffle(), and random.sample().
* Add doctests for the examples in the library reference.
* Add two methods, left() and right(), modeled after deques in C++ STL.
* Apply the new method to asynchat.py.
* Add comparison operators to make deques more substitutable for lists.
* Replace the LookupErrors with IndexErrors to more closely match lists.
- Try not only "darwin-7.X.Y" but also "darwin-7.X" and "darwin-7",
so far we've never had to create anew database for a minor release.
- Distinguish between the various different installs (user-installed
MacPython, apple-installed MacPython, other).
* Fixed a bug in the compatibility interface set_location() method
where it would not properly search to the next nearest key when
used on BTree databases. [SF bug id 788421]
* Fixed a bug in the compatibility interface set_location() method
where it could crash when looking up keys in a hash or recno
format database due to an incorrect free().
Invoke the standard error handlers for non-200 responses.
Always supply a "Connection: close" header to prevent the server from
leaving the connection open. Downstream users of the socket may
attempt recv()/read() with no arguments, which would block if the
connection were kept open.
