problems for binary distributions of Python in situations
where the build machine has SSE2 but the target machine
does not.
Therefore, don't enable SSE2 instructions automatically on x86.
Addresses the float -> string conversion, using David Gay's code which
was added in Mark Dickinson's checkin r71663.
Also addresses these, which are intertwined with the short repr
changes:
- Issue #5772: format(1e100, '<') produces '1e+100', not '1.0e+100'
- Issue #5515: 'n' formatting with commas no longer works poorly
with leading zeros.
- PEP 378 Format Specifier for Thousands Separator: implemented
for floats.
- incorporate and adapt David Gay's dtoa and strtod
into the Python core
- on platforms where we can use Gay's code (almost
all!), repr(float) is based on the shortest
sequence of decimal digits that rounds correctly.
- add sys.float_repr_style attribute to indicate
whether we're using Gay's code or not
- add autoconf magic to detect and enable SSE2
instructions on x86/gcc
- slight change to repr and str: repr switches
to exponential notation at 1e16 instead of
1e17, str switches at 1e11 instead of 1e12
This is incomplete, but I want to get some version into the next alpha. I am still working on:
Documentation.
More tests.
Implement for floats.
In addition, there's an existing bug with 'n' formatting that carries forward to thousands grouping (issue 5515).

Issue #4688: Add a heuristic so that tuples and dicts containing only
untrackable objects are not tracked by the garbage collector. This can
reduce the size of collections and therefore the garbage collection overhead
on long-running programs, depending on their particular use of datatypes.
(trivia: this makes the "binary_trees" benchmark from the Computer Language
Shootout 40% faster)

- new configure option --enable-big-digits
- new structseq sys.int_info giving information about the internal format
By default, 30-bit digits are enabled on 64-bit machines but
disabled on 32-bit machines.
This patch by Antoine Pitrou optimizes the bytecode for conditional branches by
merging the following "POP_TOP" instruction into the conditional jump. For
example, the list comprehension "[x for x in l if not x]" produced the
following bytecode:
1 0 BUILD_LIST 0
3 LOAD_FAST 0 (.0)
>> 6 FOR_ITER 23 (to 32)
9 STORE_FAST 1 (x)
12 LOAD_FAST 1 (x)
15 JUMP_IF_TRUE 10 (to 28)
18 POP_TOP
19 LOAD_FAST 1 (x)
22 LIST_APPEND 2
25 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 6
>> 28 POP_TOP
29 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 6
>> 32 RETURN_VALUE
but after the patch it produces the following bytecode:
1 0 BUILD_LIST 0
3 LOAD_FAST 0 (.0)
>> 6 FOR_ITER 18 (to 27)
9 STORE_FAST 1 (x)
12 LOAD_FAST 1 (x)
15 POP_JUMP_IF_TRUE 6
18 LOAD_FAST 1 (x)
21 LIST_APPEND 2
24 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 6
>> 27 RETURN_VALUE
Notice that not only the code is shorter, but the conditional jump
(POP_JUMP_IF_TRUE) jumps right to the start of the loop instead of going through
the JUMP_ABSOLUTE at the end. "continue" statements are helped
similarly.
Furthermore, the old jump opcodes (JUMP_IF_FALSE, JUMP_IF_TRUE) have been
replaced by two new opcodes:
- JUMP_IF_TRUE_OR_POP, which jumps if true and pops otherwise
- JUMP_IF_FALSE_OR_POP, which jumps if false and pops otherwise

Issue #5260: Various portability and standards compliance fixes, optimizations
