* A new module, :mod:`importlib` was added. It provides a complete, portable,
pure Python reference implementation of the :keyword:`import` statement and its
counterpart, the :func:`__import__` function. It represents a substantial
step forward in documenting and defining the actions that take place during
imports.

* A new module, :mod:`ipaddr` has been added to the standard library.
It provides classes to represent, verify and manipulate IPv4 and IPv6
host and network addresses.

only with :class:`str`, not with :class:`bytes`. That change makes the
module more closely conform to the `JSON specification <http://json.org/>`_

(Contributed by Bob Ippolito and converted to Py3.1 by Antoine Pitrou
and Benjamin Peterson; :issue:`4136`.)
* Unpickling now interns the attribute names of pickled objects. This saves
memory and allows pickles to be smaller.

* Added :ctype:`PyCapsule` as a replacement for the :ctype:`PyCObject` API.
The principal difference is that the new type has a well defined interface
for passing typing safety information and a less complicated signature
for calling a destructor.
The old type had a problematic API and is now deprecated.
