Raymond Hettinger 64958a15d7 Guido grants a Christmas wish: 
sorted() becomes a regular function instead of a classmethod.

Jeremy Hylton c1be59f40a SF patch 852995: add processors feature to urllib2 
John J. Lee writes: "the patch makes it possible to implement
functionality like HTTP cookie handling, Refresh handling,
etc. etc. using handler objects. At the moment urllib2's handler
objects aren't quite up to the job, which results in a lot of
cut-n-paste and subclassing. I believe the changes are
backwards-compatible, with the exception of people who've
reimplemented build_opener()'s functionality -- those people would
need to call opener.add_handler(HTTPErrorProcessor).

The main change is allowing handlers to implement
methods like:

http_request(request)
http_response(request, response)

In addition to the usual

http_open(request)
http_error{_*}(...)
"

Note that the change isn't well documented at least in part because
handlers aren't well documented at all.  Need to fix this.

Add a bunch of new tests.  It appears that none of these tests
actually use the network, so they don't need to be guarded by a
resource flag.

* demonstrate valid uses for the default identity function,
* add some excitement by suggesting the range of possibilities.

Raymond Hettinger a4ce2f5116 SF bug #855317: unittest: 5.3.9 Getting Extended Error Information 
The example code did not work and could not easily be made to work.
Since the docs were already complex and the feature was not used
(it took two years for the errors to surface), we decided to dedocument
it entirely, leaving unittest cleaner than before.

Guido van Rossum 6c9e130524 - Removed FutureWarnings related to hex/oct literals and conversions 
and left shifts.  (Thanks to Kalle Svensson for SF patch 849227.)
  This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by
  PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing
  'L'.  The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that
  changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not
  implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to
  hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.

Barry Warsaw f8d3bcc77e Generator's constructor: The documentation was incorrect regarding how

Raymond Hettinger ad983e79d6 Improve the implementation of itertools.tee(). 
Formerly, underlying queue was implemented in terms of two lists.  The
new queue is a series of singly-linked fixed length lists.

The new implementation runs much faster, supports multi-way tees, and
allows tees of tees without additional memory costs.

The root ideas for this structure were contributed by Andrew Koenig
and Guido van Rossum.

Raymond Hettinger 2f726e9093 SF bug #812202: randint is always even 
* Added C coded getrandbits(k) method that runs in linear time.
* Call the new method from randrange() for ranges >= 2**53.
* Adds a warning for generators not defining getrandbits() whenever they
  have a call to randrange() with too large of a population.

Skip Montanaro dffeed3ffa Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnames 
is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames.  In the common case,
this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time.
The first row of the file will be used.  In the uncommon case, this means
the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time
and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can
contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.

Still needs to have the module reference links made relative to
the module directory instead of the tut directory.  That will
require Fred's magic touch.

Fred Drake e395e2278c Fix the most recent change to the invocation of the mkhowto script so 
that it works for all targets.

The issue here is that there are two different levels in the directory
tree at which we execute mkhowto, so we can't define it just once
using a relative path (at least not with the current implementation
and Makefile structure).  We use the GNUish $(shell) function here to
work around that restriction by identifying mkhowto using an absolute
path.

Raymond Hettinger 6a1801271a Improvements to set.py: 
* Relaxed the argument restrictions for non-operator methods.  They now
  allow any iterable instead of requiring a set.  This makes the module
  a little easier to use and paves the way for an efficient C
  implementation which can take better advantage of iterable arguments
  while screening out immutables.

* Deprecated Set.update() because it now duplicates Set.union_update()

* Adapted the tests and docs to include the above changes.

* Added more test coverage including testing identities and checking
  to make sure non-restartable generators work as arguments.

Will backport to Py2.3.1 so that the interface remains consistent
across versions.  The deprecation of update() will be changed to
a FutureWarning.

throughout the documentation.
