Brett Cannon 522267e784 Issue #15610: The PyImport_ImportModuleEx macro now calls
PyImport_ImportModuleLevel() with a 'level' of 0 instead of -1 as the
latter is no longer a valid value.

Also added a versionchanged note for PyImport_ImportModuleLevel() just
in case people don't make the connection between changes to
__import__() and this C function.

Nick Coghlan ab7bf2143e Close issue #6210: Implement PEP 409 2012-02-26 17:49:52 +10:00
Stefan Krah 9a2d99e28a - Issue #10181: New memoryview implementation fixes multiple ownership
and lifetime issues of dynamically allocated Py_buffer members (#9990)
  as well as crashes (#8305, #7433). Many new features have been added
  (See whatsnew/3.3), and the documentation has been updated extensively.
  The ndarray test object from _testbuffer.c implements all aspects of
  PEP-3118, so further development towards the complete implementation
  of the PEP can proceed in a test-driven manner.

  Thanks to Nick Coghlan, Antoine Pitrou and Pauli Virtanen for review
  and many ideas.

- Issue #12834: Fix incorrect results of memoryview.tobytes() for
  non-contiguous arrays.

- Issue #5231: Introduce memoryview.cast() method that allows changing
  format and shape without making a copy of the underlying memory.
