would previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation
failed have been fixed.

Gregory P. Smith aa63d0d4af Make file objects as thread safe as the underlying libc FILE* implementation.

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
