If anyone wants to clean up the documentation, feel free. It's my first documentation foray, and it's not that great.
Will port to py3k with a different strategy.
- simplify parsing and printing of complex numbers
- make complex(repr(z)) round-tripping work for complex
numbers involving nans, infs, or negative zeros
- don't accept some of the stranger complex strings
that were previously allowed---e.g., complex('1..1j')
int, long, and float __format__(), and it keeps their implementation
in sync with py3k.
Also added PyOS_double_to_string. This is the "fallback" version
that's also available in trunk, and should be kept in sync with that
code. I'll add an issue to document PyOS_double_to_string in the C
API.
There are many internal cleanups. Externally visible changes include:
- Implement PEP 378, Format Specifier for Thousands Separator, for
floats, ints, and longs.
- Issue #5515: 'n' formatting for ints, longs, and floats handles
leading zero formatting poorly.
- Issue #5772: For float.__format__, don't add a trailing ".0" if
we're using no type code and we have an exponent.
Re http://bugs.python.org/issue4315
The symbol table used the same name dictionaries to recursively
analyze each of its child blocks, even though the dictionaries are
modified during analysis. The fix is to create new temporary
dictionaries via the analyze_child_block(). The only information that
needs to propagate back up is the names of the free variables.
Add more comments and break out a helper function. This code doesn't
get any easier to understand when you only look at it once a year.
POP_JUMP_IF_{TRUE,FALSE} and JUMP_IF_{TRUE,FALSE}_OR_POP. This avoids executing
a POP_TOP on each conditional and sometimes allows the peephole optimizer to
skip a JUMP_ABSOLUTE entirely. It speeds up list comprehensions significantly.
an existing .py counterpart, override the co_filename attributes of all
code objects if the original filename is obsolete (which can happen if the
file has been renamed, moved, or if it is accessed through different paths).

PyString_FromFormat which has an independent implementation, and uses "%zd".
This makes a difference on win64, where printf needs "%Id" to display
64bit values. For example, queue.__repr__ was incorrect.

While expanding the test suite, a bug was found where a warning about the

without a warning.

when given a tuple of classes as second argument, were looking up
__instancecheck__ / __subclasscheck__ on the tuple rather than on each
type object.

Update the valgrind suppressions file with new leaks that are small/one-time

This change is a companion to r60148 which already successfully dealt with a
similar issue on thread shutdown.
In particular this loop has been observed happening from this call path:
#0 in find_key ()
#1 in PyThread_set_key_value ()
#2 in _PyGILState_NoteThreadState ()
#3 in PyThreadState_New ()
#4 in t_bootstrap ()
#5 in pthread_start_thread ()
I don't know how this happens but it does, *very* rarely. On more than
one hardware platform. I have not been able to reproduce it manually.
(A flaky mutex implementation on the system in question is one hypothesis).
As with r60148, the spinning we managed to observe in the wild was due to a
single list element pointing back upon itself.
