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.

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.

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.
