Mostly in SequenceMatcher.{__chain_b, find_longest_match}:
...
This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently
repeated as to constitute noise. The primary benefit is an enormous
speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors
of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the
sequences have many duplicate elements. In effect, this zooms in on
sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now.
While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider
this experimental. Please give it a try!

Repair widespread misuse of _PyString_Resize. Since it's clear people
...
don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs. The
most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos):
if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) {
Py_DECREF(s);
s = NULL;
goto outtahere;
}
The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically
decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its
refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL. So if the "if"
branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s): s is already
NULL! A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended)
if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0)
goto outtahere;

Stopped all warnings from the HTML Help Compiler, by generating proper

HTML (or, at least, proper in its view). The TOC file is now identical
to what the HTML compiler itself generates, except for whitespace and
a glitch identified below. The pretty-printing done by prechm.py is
pretty much destroyed for now; if you need it pretty-printed, just make
the Help Compiler save the files (it's got its own idea of pretty-
printing anyway).
Glitch: The title of Ref Man "2.1.6 Blank lines" shows up as a blank
for now. This is because the relevant entry in ref/index.html contains
nested anchors, and pychm really has no idea what to do with that. I
hacked it for now to avoid any error messages or worse insanity, and
filed a bug report against the docs.

Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described in

PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.
Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.

7bf9715a8b
Introduce two new flag bits that can be set in a PyMethodDef method
...
descriptor, as used for the tp_methods slot of a type. These new flag
bits are both optional, and mutually exclusive. Most methods will not
use either. These flags are used to create special method types which
exist in the same namespace as normal methods without having to use
tedious construction code to insert the new special method objects in
the type's tp_dict after PyType_Ready() has been called.
If METH_CLASS is specified, the method will represent a class method
like that returned by the classmethod() built-in.
If METH_STATIC is specified, the method will represent a static method
like that returned by the staticmethod() built-in.
These flags may not be used in the PyMethodDef table for modules since
these special method types are not meaningful in that case; a
ValueError will be raised if these flags are found in that context.

file_truncate(): provide full "large file" support on Windows, by
...
dropping MS's inadequate _chsize() function. This was inspired by
SF patch 498109 ("fileobject truncate support for win32"), which I
rejected.
libstdtypes.tex: Someone who knows should update the availability
blurb. For example, if it's available on Linux, it would be good to
say so.
test_largefile: Uncommented the file.truncate() tests, and reworked to
do more. The old comment about "permission errors" in the truncation
tests under Windows was almost certainly due to that the file wasn't open
for *write* access at this point, so of course MS wouldn't let you
truncate it. I'd be appalled if a Unixish system did.
CAUTION: Someone should run this test on Linux (etc) too. The
truncation part was commented out before. Note that test_largefile isn't
run by default.

Doc/README is odd; it assigns some copyright to the PSF in 2000, when
I didn't think it existed...

SF bug #501591 : dir() doc is old
...
Bugfix candidate.
+ Updated dir() description to match actual 2.2 behavior.
+ Replaced the dir(sys) example with dir(struct), because the former
was way out of date and is bound to change frequently, while the
latter is stable.
+ Added a note cautioning that dir() is supplied primarily for
convenience at an interactive prompt (hoping to discourage its
use as the foundation of introspective code outside the core).

Add new constants usable with os.popen() on Windows.

NOTE: this seems a mess wrt which symbols are available on which
platforms. I can't fix it, but I didn't add to it <wink>, and
included an XXX comment about names claimed to be available on
Windows that aren't. If anyone can figure out the whole ugly truth,
I'm sure a better organization will suggest itself.
