Gregory P. Smith f21a5f7739 [ sf.net patch # 1121611 ]
A new hashlib module to replace the md5 and sha modules.  It adds
support for additional secure hashes such as SHA-256 and SHA-512.  The
hashlib module uses OpenSSL for fast platform optimized
implementations of algorithms when available.  The old md5 and sha
modules still exist as wrappers around hashlib to preserve backwards
compatibility.

Raymond Hettinger 354433a59d SF patch #872326: Generator expression implementation
(Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.)

The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be
checked-in soon.  Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's
rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in
in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev).

The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is
meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch.  Further additions are
welcome from everyone.  Please stress test this new feature as much as
possible before the alpha release.

Raymond Hettinger b7d05db0be Optimize tuple_slice() and make further improvements to list_slice()
and list.extend().  Factoring the inner loops to remove the constant
structure references and fixed offsets gives speedups ranging from

Raymond Hettinger 31017aed36 SF #904720: dict.update should take a 2-tuple sequence like dict.__init_
(Championed by Bob Ippolito.)

The update() method for mappings now accepts all the same argument forms
as the dict() constructor.  This includes item lists and/or keyword
arguments.

Raymond Hettinger ab517d2eac Fine tune the speed/space trade-off for overallocating small lists.
The Py2.3 approach overallocated small lists by up to 8 elements.
The last checkin would limited this to one but slowed down (by 20 to 30%)
the creation of small lists between 3 to 8 elements.

This tune-up balances the two, limiting overallocation to 3 elements
(significantly reducing space consumption from Py2.3) and running faster
than the previous checkin.

The first part of the growth pattern (0, 4, 8, 16) neatly meshes with
allocators that trigger data movement only when crossing a power of two
boundary.  Also, then even numbers mesh well with common data alignments.
