- The copy module now "copies" function objects (as atomic objects).
- dict.__getitem__ now looks for a __missing__ hook before raising
KeyError.
- Added a new type, defaultdict, to the collections module.
This uses the new __missing__ hook behavior added to dict (see above).
Py_SAFE_DOWNCAST can evaluate its first argument multiple
times in a debug build. This caused two distinct assert-
failures in test_unicode run under a debug build. Rewrote
the code in trivial ways so that multiple evaluation of the
first argument doesn't hurt.
* Allow the 3rd argument to generator.throw() to be None.
The 'raise' statement does the same, and anyway it follows the
general policy that optional arguments of built-ins should, when
reasonable, have a default value specifiable from Python.

Probably not a bugfix candidate, even though it affects no 'working' code.

This is how string objects work. u'%f' could use , instead of .
for the decimal point. Now both strings and unicode always use periods.
This is the code that would break:
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'de_DE')
u'%.1f' % 1.0
assert '1.0' == u'%.1f' % 1.0
I couldn't create a test case which fails, but this fixes the problem.
Will backport.
* set sq_repeat and sq_concat to NULL for user-defined new-style
classes, as a way to fix a number of related problems. See
test_descr.notimplemented()). One of these problems was fixed
in r25556 and r25557 but many more existed; this is a general
fix and thus reverts r25556-r25557.
* to avoid having PySequence_Repeat()/PySequence_Concat() failing
on user-defined classes, they now fall back to nb_add/nb_mul if
sq_concat/sq_repeat are not defined and the arguments appear to
be sequences.
* added tests.
Backport candidate.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast(). Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.
I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc. Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes. The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].
One cast was required as a result of the changes: A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.

Added a test.
[ 1327110 ] wrong TypeError traceback in generator expressions
by removing the code that can stomp on the users' TypeError raised by the
iterable argument to ''.join() -- PySequence_Fast (now?) gives a perfectly
reasonable message itself. Also, a couple of tests.
This change implements a new bytecode compiler, based on a
transformation of the parse tree to an abstract syntax defined in
Parser/Python.asdl.
The compiler implementation is not complete, but it is in stable
enough shape to run the entire test suite excepting two disabled
tests.

These lookup tables are from the Python 1.6 version with the addition

Fix over-aggressive PyErr_Clear(). The same code fragment appears in

* set_merge() cannot assume that the table doesn't resize during iteration.
* convert some unnecessary tests to asserts -- they were necessary in
dictobject.c because PyDict_Next() is a public function. The same is
not true for set_next().
* re-arrange the order of functions to more closely match the order
in dictobject.c. This makes it must easier to compare the two
and ought to simplify any issues of maintaining both.
was never called during interpreter shutdown GC, so the f_back!=NULL
assertion was correct. Now that generators get close()d during GC,
the assertion was being triggered because the generator close() was being
called as the top-level frame. However, nothing actually is broken by
this; it's just that the condition was unexpected in previous Python
versions.

s|=s, s&=s, s-=s, or s^=s). Add related tests.
* Improve names for several variables and functions.
* Provide alternate table access functions (next, contains, add, and discard)
that work with an entry argument instead of just a key. This improves
set-vs-set operations because we already have a hash value for each key
and can avoid unnecessary calls to PyObject_Hash(). Provides a 5% to 20%
speed-up for quick hashing elements like strings and integers. Provides
much more substantial improvements for slow hashing elements like tuples
or objects defining a custom __hash__() function.
* Have difference operations resize() when 1/5 of the elements are dummies.
Formerly, it was 1/6. The new ratio triggers less frequently and only
in cases that it can resize quicker and with greater benefit. The right
answer is probably either 1/4, 1/5, or 1/6. Picked the middle value for
an even trade-off between resize time and the space/time costs of dummy
entries.
* Bring in free list from dictionary code.
* Improve several comments.
* Differencing can leave many dummy entries. If more than
1/6 are dummies, then resize them away.
* Factor-out common code with new macro, PyAnySet_CheckExact.
* Give set_lookkey_string() a fast alternate path when no dummy entries
are present.
* Have set_swap_bodies() reset the hash field to -1 whenever either of
bodies is not a frozenset. Maintains the invariant of regular sets
always having -1 in the hash field; otherwise, any mutation would make
the hash value invalid.
* Use an entry pointer to simplify the code in frozenset_hash().
dictobject.c.
* Have frozenset_hash() use entry->hash instead of re-computing each
individual hash with PyObject_Hash(o);
* Finalize the dummy entry before a system exit.
- Handle both frozenset() and frozenset([]).
- Do not use singleton for frozenset subclasses.
- Finalize the singleton.
- Add test cases.
* Factor-out set_update_internal() from set_update(). Simplifies the
code for several internal callers.
* Factor constant expressions out of loop in set_merge_internal().
* Minor comment touch-ups.
In addition, long_pow() skipped a necessary (albeit extremely unlikely
to trigger) error check when converting an int modulus to long.
Alas, I was unable to write a test case that crashed due to either
cause.

managed by C, because it's possible for the block to be smaller than the
new requested size, and at the end of allocated VM. Trying to copy over
nbytes bytes to a Python small-object block can segfault then, and there's
no portable way to avoid this (we would have to know how many bytes
starting at p are addressable, and std C has no means to determine that).
Bugfix candidate. Should be backported to 2.4, but I'm out of time.
