When stating that some parameters to makefile() are similar to the open()
...
parameters, given a hyperlink to the right part of the documentation to
make it easier to look those up. Also, refer to the file() function/
constructor instead of open() now that that is where the actual docs for
those parameters live.
This closes SF bug #472004 .

SF patch #443759 : Add Interface to readline's add_history
...
This was submitted by Moshe, but apparently he's too busy to check it
in himself. He wrote:
Here is a function in GNU readline called add_history,
which is used to manage the history list. Though Python
uses this function internally, it does not expose it to
the Python programmer. This patch adds direct interface
to this function with documentation.
This could be used by friendly modules to "seed" the
history with commands.

Partial patch from SF #452266 , by Jason Petrone.

[ #403753 ] zlib decompress; uncontrollable memory usage
...
Mostly by Toby Dickenson and Titus Brown.
Add an optional argument to a decompression object's decompress()
method. The argument specifies the maximum length of the return
value. If the uncompressed data exceeds this length, the excess data
is stored as the unconsumed_tail attribute. (Not to be confused with
unused_data, which is a separate issue.)
Difference from SF patch: Default value for unconsumed_tail is ""
rather than None. It's simpler if the attribute is always a string.

Modern boxes are so friggin' fast, and a profiler event does so much work

per profile event just isn't a big deal.
