Known limitations of the current implementation:
- documentation changes are incomplete
- there's a reference leak I haven't tracked down yet
The leak is most visible by running:
./python -m test -R3:3 test_importlib
However, you can also see it by running:
./python -X showrefcount
Importing the array or _testmultiphase modules, and
then deleting them from both sys.modules and the local
namespace shows significant increases in the total
number of active references each cycle. By contrast,
with _testcapi (which continues to use single-phase
initialisation) the global refcounts stabilise after
a couple of cycles.
containing invalid characters (outside range [U+0000; U+10ffff]) to Unicode:
repr(array), str(array) and array.tounicode(). Patch written by Manuel Jacob.
'u' format of the array module uses again Py_UNICODE type for backward
compatibility with Python 3.2.
The only change from Python 3.2 is that PyUnicode_AsUnicode() result is now
checked for NULL value.
frombytes() and tobytes(), respectively, to avoid confusion. Furthermore,
array.frombytes(), array.extend() as well as the array.array()
constructor now accept bytearray objects. Patch by Thomas Jollans.

The BYTEORDER_IS_BIG_ENDIAN macro is defined Objects/unicodeobject.c,
thus the code was always emitting the little-endian machine format codes.
This should fix the failure seen on the SPARC buildbot.

Issue #2620: Overflow checking when allocating or reallocating memory
was not always being done properly in some python types and extension
modules. PyMem_MALLOC, PyMem_REALLOC, PyMem_NEW and PyMem_RESIZE have
all been updated to perform better checks and places in the code that
would previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation
failed have been fixed.

No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch. The most obvious changes:
- str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
- bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
- PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.
I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.
The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like. Some changes are still on the to-do list.
