Improvements to set.py:
...
* Relaxed the argument restrictions for non-operator methods. They now
allow any iterable instead of requiring a set. This makes the module
a little easier to use and paves the way for an efficient C
implementation which can take better advantage of iterable arguments
while screening out immutables.
* Deprecated Set.update() because it now duplicates Set.union_update()
* Adapted the tests and docs to include the above changes.
* Added more test coverage including testing identities and checking
to make sure non-restartable generators work as arguments.
Will backport to Py2.3.1 so that the interface remains consistent
across versions. The deprecation of update() will be changed to
a FutureWarning.

init_myformat(): None of the "mark" values can be empty strings, or

LaTeX2HTML feels free to remove a surrounding element that

Unfortunatley, making sure these marks are non-empty is the most
direct way of avoiding this behavior.

the info conversion the \comment LaTeX macro mapped to a Texinfo @ignore
macro. Unfortunately, py2texi.el is not smart enough to avoid generating
links to the @ignore'd section, which causes makeinfo to croak.
Exposing this text is probably not the most correct thing to do, as this
documentation really belongs in the C API manual. This does get the info
files generated, however, which is a more practical goal considering the
impending release of 2.3rc1.

Doctest now examines all docstrings by default. Previously, it would
...
skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore
naming convention). The old default created too much of a risk that
user tests were being skipped inadvertently. Note, this change could
break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put
failing tests in the docstrings of private functions. The breakage
is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod()
or Tester(). The more likely case is that the silent failure was
unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be
fixed.
