Rewrote the basic section of the chapter on defining new types.
...
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way:
- Use a class new method rather than a new function.
- Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators
- Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods.
- Make the type usable as a base type.
I split the example into 3 parts:
1. The minimal new type
2. Adding attributes and methods.
3. Finer control over attributes.
It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully
show this.
I also made minor wording changes in two other places.
I still need to update xxobject.c

- pythunrun.c, Py_Finalize(): move the call to _Py_PrintReferences()
...
even farther down, to just before the call to
_PyObject_DebugMallocStats(). This required the following changes:
- pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an
exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is
available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception
(ever).
- object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL,
don't raise an exception but return 0. This means that when
printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on
and on. But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see
first bullet).
- Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to
PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.

From http://mail.python.org/pipermail/i18n-sig/2003-April/001557.html
...
- Expose NullTranslations and GNUTranslations to __all__
- Set the default charset to iso-8859-1. It used to be None, which
would cause problems with .ugettext() if the file had no charset
parameter. Arguably, the po/mo file would be broken, but I still think
iso-8859-1 is a reasonable default.
- Add a "coerce" default argument to GNUTranslations's constructor. The
reason for this is that in Zope, we want all msgids and msgstrs to be
Unicode. For the latter, we could use .ugettext() but there isn't
currently a mechanism for Unicode-ifying msgids.
The plan then is that the charset parameter specifies the encoding for
both the msgids and msgstrs, and both are decoded to Unicode when read.
For example, we might encode po files with utf-8. I think the GNU
gettext tools don't care.
Since this could potentially break code [*] that wants to use the
encoded interface .gettext(), the constructor flag is added, defaulting
to False. Most code I suspect will want to set this to True and use
.ugettext().
- A few other minor changes from the Zope project, including asserting
that a zero-length msgid must have a Project-ID-Version header for it to
be counted as the metadata record.

these checkins:

Patch #683592 revisited, after discussions with MvL:
...
- Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir()
will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode
argument.
- And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII.
- Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the
default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means
os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding
can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing
the error and fall back to a byte string.)
- Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex.
- Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation.
This checkin also fixes bug #696261 , which was due to os.listdir() not
using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are
supposed to.

PyFileObject structure to avoid dealing with the internals of that
structure from outside fileobject.c.
(Util_GetLine,Util_DropReadAhead,Util_ReadAhead,Util_ReadAheadGetLineSkip,
BZ2File_write,BZ2File_writelines,BZ2File_init,BZ2File_dealloc,
BZ2Comp_dealloc,BZ2Decomp_dealloc):
These functions were adapted to the change above.
(BZ2File_seek,BZ2File_close): Use PyObject_CallMethod instead of
getting the function attribute locally.
(BZ2File_notsup): Removed, since it's not necessary anymore to overload
truncate(), and readinto() with dummy functions.
(BZ2File_methods): Added xreadlines() as an alias to BZ2File_getiter,
and removed truncate() and readinto().
(BZ2File_get_newlines,BZ2File_get_closed,BZ2File_get_mode,BZ2File_get_name,
BZ2File_getset):
Implemented getters for "newlines", "mode", and "name".
(BZ2File_members): Implemented "softspace" member.
(BZ2File_init): Reworked to create a file instance instead of initializing
itself as a file subclass. Also, pass "name" object untouched to the
file constructor, and use PyObject_CallFunction instead of building the
argument tuple locally.
(BZ2File_Type): Set tp_new to PyType_GenericNew, tp_members to
BZ2File_members, and tp_getset to BZ2File_getset.
(initbz2): Do not set BZ2File_Type.tp_base nor BZ2File_Type.tp_new.

Do not mention that BZ2File inherits from the file type.

Comparison for timedelta, time, date and datetime objects: __eq__ and
...
__ne__ no longer complain if they don't know how to compare to the other
thing. If no meaningful way to compare is known, saying "not equal" is
sensible. This allows things like
if adatetime in some_sequence:
and
somedict[adatetime] = whatever
to work as expected even if some_sequence contains non-datetime objects,
or somedict non-datetime keys, because they only call __eq__.
It still complains (raises TypeError) for mixed-type comparisons in
contexts that require a total ordering, such as list.sort(), use as a
key in a BTree-based data structure, and cmp().
