site.USER_BASE and site.USER_SITE are now fully documented. PEP 370 is
outdated with respects to the Mac framework situation, but the code in
sysconfig and the example in the 3.2 What’s New document helped me find
the right values to document for Mac OS X.
The command-line interface of the site module is also described in the
module docs.
The purpose of the usercustomize module is explained in the site docs,
with a gentle introduction in the tutorial (right after the section that
talks about PYTHONSTARTUP; a comment mentions it should be moved from
the tutorial to another file, but that will be another bug).
Various markup and wording improvements were made along the way in the
site module docs. Duplicate and incomplete declarations of environment
variables have also been removed (the original bug report was actually
about these entries :). The site module docs are still a bit messy;
I’ll see about improving them for #11553.
All these sections are copiously interlinked and findable from the doc
indexes.

Have script_helper._assert_python strip refcount strings from stderr.
This makes the output of the function and those that depend on it
independent of whether or not they are being run under a debug
build.

#10960: fix 'stat' links, link to lstat from stat, general tidy of stat doc.
Original patch by Michal Nowikowski, with some additions and wording
fixes by me.
I changed the wording from 'Performs a stat system call' to 'Performs
the equivalent of a stat system call', since on Windows there are no
stat/lstat system calls involved. I also extended Michal's breakout
of the attributes into a list to the other paragraphs, and rearranged
the order of the paragraphs in the 'stat' docs to make it flow
better and put it in what I think is a more logical/useful order.
