* explanation for example with lists of lists made confusing use of
the word "contains" to mean "is built out of".
* wrong formula for slices with step. Is it ok to use LaTeX formulas
(which become images in the html document)? This version needs one
because it's based on a fraction. Just writing "\code{(j-i)/k}" here would
be ambiguous because it looks like a rounding-down-to-the-previous-integer
division, which is not what we need here. Of course we could write
"\code{float(j-i)/k}" but it just looks confusing.
reliably on WinME with FAT32.
* Native speaker rewrite of the comment block.
* Removed unnecessary backslashes from the multi-line function defintions.
nothing in gc currently cares, the original coding could screw up if,
e.g., you tried to move a node to the list it's already in, and the node
was already the last in its list.
Introduced gc_list_move(), which captures the common gc_list_remove() +
gc_list_append() sequence. In fact, no uses of gc_list_append() remained
(they were all in a gc_list_move() sequence), so commented that one out.
gc_list_merge(): assert that `from` != `to`; that was an implicit
precondition, now verified in a debug build.
Others: added comments about their purpose.
In cyclic gc, clear weakrefs to unreachable objects before allowing any
Python code (weakref callbacks or __del__ methods) to run.
This is a critical bugfix, affecting all versions of Python since weakrefs
were introduced. I'll backport to 2.3.
* Use simpler, faster two pass algorithm for markblocks().
* Free the blocks variable if not NULL and exiting without change.
* Verify that the rest of the compiler has not set an exception.
* Make the test for tuple of constants less restrictive.
* Embellish the comment for chained conditional jumps.
exposed in header files. Fixed a few comments in these headers.
As we might have expected, writing down invariants systematically exposed a
(minor) bug. In this case, function objects have a writeable func_code
attribute, which could be set to code objects with the wrong number of
free variables. Calling the resulting function segfaulted the interpreter.
Added a corresponding test.

the issue of when %U is used for the week of the year but the year starts on
Monday.
Closes bug #1045381 again.

Code simplification by eliminating the unnecessary and error-prone
convolutions for the previously weird sign convention in _WorkRep().
Makes the code more understandable, more reliable, and a bit faster.
The underlying bug still exists, but also existed in 2.3.4:
import.c's load_source_module() returns NULL if
PyOS_GetLastModificationTime() returns -1, but
PyOS_GetLastModificationTime() doesn't set any exception when it returns
-1, and neither does load_source_module() when it gets back -1. This
leads to "SystemError: NULL result without error in PyObject_Call"
on an import that fails in this way.
