expose the C API subsection which was hidden from LaTeX in a comment. In
...
the info conversion the \comment LaTeX macro mapped to a Texinfo @ignore
macro. Unfortunately, py2texi.el is not smart enough to avoid generating
links to the @ignore'd section, which causes makeinfo to croak.
Exposing this text is probably not the most correct thing to do, as this
documentation really belongs in the C API manual. This does get the info
files generated, however, which is a more practical goal considering the
impending release of 2.3rc1.

Doctest now examines all docstrings by default. Previously, it would
...
skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore
naming convention). The old default created too much of a risk that
user tests were being skipped inadvertently. Note, this change could
break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put
failing tests in the docstrings of private functions. The breakage
is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod()
or Tester(). The more likely case is that the silent failure was
unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be
fixed.
