Guido van Rossum a1351fbd88 SF patch #408326 by Robin Thomas: slice objects comparable, not
hashable

This patch changes the behavior of slice objects in the following
manner:

- Slice objects are now comparable with other slice objects as though
they were logically tuples of (start,stop,step). The tuple is not
created in the comparison function, but the comparison behavior is
logically equivalent.

- Slice objects are not hashable. With the above change to being
comparable, slice objects now cannot be used as keys in dictionaries.

[I've edited the patch for style.  Note that this fixes the problem
that dict[i:j] seemed to work but was meaningless.  --GvR]

Guido van Rossum b18618dab7 Vladimir Marangozov's long-awaited malloc restructuring.
For more comments, read the patches@python.org archives.
For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode.  I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)

Guido van Rossum e449af7da9 Ellipses -> Ellipsis rename (the dictionary really says that it should
be Ellipsis!).
Bumped the API version because a linker-visible symbol is affected.
Old C code will still compile -- there's a b/w compat macro.
Similarly, old Python code will still run, builtin exports both
Ellipses and Ellipsis.
