In the install and library docs, I changed the text to refer to
packaging instead of distutils. I also checked that the documented
paths correctly reflect what’s really defined in sysconfig; the main
difference with paths defined in distutils.install is that include
directories don’t end with the distribution name anymore (i.e. distutils
uses include/python3.3/spam, sysconfig include/python3.3), I have no
idea why.
site.USER_BASE and site.USER_SITE are now fully documented. PEP 370 is
outdated with respects to the Mac framework situation, but the code in
sysconfig and the example in the 3.2 What’s New document helped me find
the right values to document for Mac OS X.
The command-line interface of the site module, partly documented in the
3.2 What’s New, is fully described in the module docs.
The purpose of the usercustomize module is explained in the site docs,
with a gentle introduction in the tutorial (right after the section that
talks about PYTHONSTARTUP; a comment mentions it should be moved from
the tutorial to another file, but that will be another bug).
Various markup and wording improvements were made along the way in the
site module docs. Duplicate and incomplete declarations of environment
variables have also been removed (the original bug report was actually
about these entries :). The site module docs are still a bit messy;
I’ll see about improving them for #11553.
All these sections are copiously interlinked and findable from the doc
indexes.

Have script_helper._assert_python strip refcount strings from stderr.
This makes the output of the function and those that depend on it
independent of whether or not they are being run under a debug
build.

Fix formatting of values with embedded newlines when rfc2047 encoding
Before this patch if a value being encoded had an embedded newline,
the line following the newline would have no leading whitespace,
and the whitespace it did have was encoded into the word. Now
the existing whitespace gets turned into a blank, the way it does
in other header reformatting, and the _continuation_ws gets added
at the beginning of the encoded line.

#10960: fix 'stat' links, link to lstat from stat, general tidy of stat doc.
Original patch by Michal Nowikowski, with some additions and wording
fixes by me.
I changed the wording from 'Performs a stat system call' to 'Performs
the equivalent of a stat system call', since on Windows there are no
stat/lstat system calls involved. I also extended Michal's breakout
of the attributes into a list to the other paragraphs, and rearranged
the order of the paragraphs in the 'stat' docs to make it flow
better and put it in what I think is a more logical/useful order.
