An issue in ctypes.c_longdouble, ctypes.c_double, and ctypes.c_float that
caused an incorrect exception to be returned in the case of overflow has been
fixed.

importlib.machinery that provide the suffix details for import.
The attributes were not put on imp so as to compartmentalize
everything importlib needs for setting up imports in
importlib.machinery.
This also led to an indirect deprecation of inspect.getmoduleinfo() as
it directly returned imp.get_suffix's returned tuple which no longer
makes sense.
and lifetime issues of dynamically allocated Py_buffer members (#9990)
as well as crashes (#8305, #7433). Many new features have been added
(See whatsnew/3.3), and the documentation has been updated extensively.
The ndarray test object from _testbuffer.c implements all aspects of
PEP-3118, so further development towards the complete implementation
of the PEP can proceed in a test-driven manner.
Thanks to Nick Coghlan, Antoine Pitrou and Pauli Virtanen for review
and many ideas.
- Issue #12834: Fix incorrect results of memoryview.tobytes() for
non-contiguous arrays.
- Issue #5231: Introduce memoryview.cast() method that allows changing
format and shape without making a copy of the underlying memory.
- Issue #9651: Fix a crash when ctypes.create_string_buffer(0) was passed to file.write()
- Issue #11241: subclasses of ctypes.Array can now be subclassed.
* Use str.startswith(tuple): I didn't know this Python feature, Python rocks!
* Replace sometimes sys.platform.startswith('linux') with
sys.platform == 'linux'
* sys.platform doesn't contain the major version on Cygwin on Mac OS X
(it's just 'cygwin' and 'darwin')
Various tests fail when run under coverage. A primary culprit is refcount tests
which fail as the counts are thrown off by the coverage code. A new decorator
-- test.support.refcount_test -- is used to decorate tests which test refcounts
and to skip them when running under coverage. Other tests simply fail because
of changes in the system (e.g., __local__ suddenly appearing).
Thanks to Kristian Vlaardingerbroek for helping to diagnose the test failures.
