Gregory P. Smith aa63d0d4af Make file objects as thread safe as the underlying libc FILE* implementation.
close() will now raise an IOError if any operations on the file object
are currently in progress in other threads.

Most code was written by Antoine Pitrou (pitrou).  Additional testing,
documentation and test suite cleanup done by me (gregory.p.smith).

Fixes issue 815646 and 595601 (as well as many other bugs and
references to this problem dating back to the dawn of Python).

Christian Heimes 422051a367 Patch #1953
I implemented the function sys._compact_freelists() and C API functions PyInt_/PyFloat_CompactFreeList() to compact the pre-allocated blocks of ints and floats. They allow the user to reduce the memory usage of a Python process that deals with lots of numbers.
The patch also renames sys._cleartypecache to sys._clear_type_cache

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc cab3d98ca1 Ensure that PySet_Add() operates on a newly created frozenset, like PyTuple_SetItem does.
Add PyFrozenSet_Check(), which was not needed before; The list of Py*Set_Check* macros seems to be complete now.

Add missing NEWS entries about all this.

Raymond Hettinger ecdcb58950 Make PySet_Add() work with frozensets.
Works like PyTuple_SetItem() to build-up values in a brand new frozenset.
Also, PyFrozenSet_New() is now guaranteed to produce a distinct new frozenset.

Christian Heimes 74b8e76ec1 Don't repeat yourself

Christian Heimes c94e2b5c12 Now that I've learnt about structseq objects I felt like converting sys.float_info to a structseq. It's
readonly and help(sys.float_info) explains the attributes nicely.

Christian Heimes 000a074c95 Modified PyImport_Import and PyImport_ImportModule to always use absolute imports by calling __import__ with an explicit level of 0
Added a new API function PyImport_ImportModuleNoBlock. It solves the problem with dead locks when mixing threads and imports

Guido van Rossum 02de8979cc Patch #1583 by Adam Olsen.
This adds signal.set_wakeup_fd(fd) which sets a file descriptor to
which a zero byte will be written whenever a C exception handler runs.

I added a simple C API as well, PySignal_SetWakeupFd(fd).

Georg Brandl 7c3e79f67f Make "hashable" a glossary entry and clarify docs on __cmp__, __eq__ and __hash__.
I hope the concept of hashability is better understandable now.
Thanks to Tim Hatch for pointing out the flaws here.
