- Add DEBUG_SAVEALL option. When enabled all garbage objects found by the
...
collector will be saved in gc.garbage. This is useful for debugging a
program that creates reference cycles.
- Fix else statements in gcmodule.c to conform to Python coding standards.

Correct some bitrot; some things have become inaccurate in the tutorial.

<file>.readlines() does not call <file>.readline() internally anymore,
and the sizehint parameter should be mentioned briefly.
Some displays of floating point numbers needed to be updated due to the
change in the repr() of floats (from 1.6).
Both issues were noted by Aahz <aahz@panix.com>.

Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects:

This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize()
...
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.
The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890 .
As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.

Centralize the processing logic for LaTeX documents into the mkhowto script;

do not use mkdvi.sh or mkhtl.sh any more.
This slows down building all versions of the documentation, but if you are

Addresses the other half of Bug #112634 -- the documentation suggested

that you can set self.version *after* calling the base class __init__.
In fact it must be done *before*.

Minor rewrites.

Disallow "import mod.submod as m", because the result is ambiguous. Does it
...
load mod.submod as m, or mod as m ? Both can be achieved differently, and
unambiguously. Also attempt to document this restriction (editor
appreciated!)
Note that this is an artificial check during compile, because incorporating
this in the grammar is hard, and then adjusting the compiler to do the right
thing with the right nodes is harder.

As pointed out by Denis S. Otkidach <den@analyt.chem.msu.ru>, xrange()

Apply SF patch #101135 , adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import
...
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.
There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.

Apply SF patch #101029 : call __getitem__ with a proper slice object if there

is no __getslice__ available. Also does the same for C extension types.
Includes rudimentary documentation (it could use a cross reference to the
section on slice objects, I couldn't figure out how to do that) and a test
suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new
behaviour.

In the section on the "Very High Level Layer", address concerns brought up

Merge UNPACK_LIST and UNPACK_TUPLE into a single UNPACK_SEQUENCE, since they

I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of

Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope

SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)
I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.

Change the table in the pyexpat.errors module to a series of datadesc

Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to write
...
a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call. Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.
This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed. Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.
I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.
Documentation for the new entry points included.

Changes from Moshe:
...
- distutils: Windows installers are already working
- string methods: .join() seems to be the concensus, so it should probably
be docommented
- filecmp.py supersedes cmp, cmpcache and dircmp
- winreg is completely new: _winreg is an adaptation of what used to be in
win32api, and winreg is a Python implementation which adds OO syntax.
Perhaps you know that, but the text is misleading.
