interning. I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea

PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.

xreadline method; this ought to be replaced by an iterator as well.)

Added new footnote about list.sort() stability. Repaired footnote about
...
using sort() with comparison functions (it made reference to the non-
existent "builtin-in function sort()").
BTW, I changed list.sort's docstring to contain the word "stable" -- the
easiest way to tell whether a particular Python version's sort *is* stable
is to look for "stable" in the docstring. I'm not sure whether to
advertise this <wink>.

SF patch #581414 : info reader bug
...
The "Matching vs. Searching" Info node is unreachable from the Info
program (but is fine in Emacs's Info mode). This patch seems to fix
it. This is the only occurrence where the info reader fails, so
probably it could be addressed in the python docs as a workaround.
Forwarded the report to the info maintainer.

The Py_REF_DEBUG/COUNT_ALLOCS/Py_TRACE_REFS macro minefield: added
...
more trivial lexical helper macros so that uses of these guys expand
to nothing at all when they're not enabled. This should help sub-
standard compilers that can't do a good job of optimizing away the
previous "(void)0" expressions.
Py_DECREF: There's only one definition of this now. Yay! That
was that last one in the family defined multiple times in an #ifdef
maze.
Py_FatalError(): Changed the char* signature to const char*.
_Py_NegativeRefcount(): New helper function for the Py_REF_DEBUG
expansion of Py_DECREF. Calling an external function cuts down on
the volume of generated code. The previous inline expansion of abort()
didn't work as intended on Windows (the program often kept going, and
the error msg scrolled off the screen unseen). _Py_NegativeRefcount
calls Py_FatalError instead, which captures our best knowledge of
how to abort effectively across platforms.
