Have strftime() check its time tuple argument to make sure the tuple's values
...
are within proper boundaries as specified in the docs.
This can break possible code (datetime module needed changing, for instance)
that uses 0 for values that need to be greater 1 or greater (month, day, and
day of year).
Fixes bug #897625 .

Replace left(), right(), and __reversed__() with the more general purpose

__getitem__() and __setitem__().
Simplifies the API, reduces the code size, adds flexibility, and makes
deques work with bisect.bisect(), random.shuffle(), and random.sample().

Improvements to collections.deque():
...
* Add doctests for the examples in the library reference.
* Add two methods, left() and right(), modeled after deques in C++ STL.
* Apply the new method to asynchat.py.
* Add comparison operators to make deques more substitutable for lists.
* Replace the LookupErrors with IndexErrors to more closely match lists.

Implementation of patch 869468
...
Allow the user to create Tkinter.Tcl objects which are
just like Tkinter.Tk objects except that they do not
initialize Tk. This is useful in circumstances where the
script is being run on machines that do not have an X
server running -- in those cases, Tk initialization fails,
even if no window is ever created.
Includes documentation change and tests.
Tested on Linux, Solaris and Windows.

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.
