Extension Modules
-----------------
- On Win32, os.listdir now supports arbitrarily-long Unicode path names
(up to the system limit of 32K characters).
- Use Win32 API to implement os.{access,chdir,chmod,mkdir,remove,rename,rmdir,utime}.
As a result, these functions now raise WindowsError instead of OSError.
- Calling Tk_Init twice is refused if the first call failed as that
may deadlock.
Library
-------
- Patch #721464: pdb.Pdb instances can now be given explicit stdin and
stdout arguments, making it possible to redirect input and output
for remote debugging.
- Patch #1484695: Update the tarfile module to version 0.8. This fixes
a couple of issues, notably handling of long file names using the
GNU LONGNAME extension.
- Patch #1478292. ``doctest.register_optionflag(name)`` shouldn't create a
new flag when ``name`` is already the name of an option flag.
- Bug #1385040: don't allow "def foo(a=1, b): pass" in the compiler
package.
- Patch #1472854: make the rlcompleter.Completer class usable on non-
UNIX platforms.
- Patch #1470846: fix urllib2 ProxyBasicAuthHandler.
