This code was broken if save() returned a negative number since i contained
a boolean value and then we compared i < 0 which should never be true.

Will backport (assuming it's necessary)

Fix a compiler warning about passing a PyTypeObject* instead of PyObject*.

Add maxlen support to deque() and fixup docs.
Partially fix __reduce__().  The None as a third arg was no longer supported.
Still needs work on __reduce__() to handle recursive inputs.

All this code already exists above starting at line 653.

something he didn't select or complete.

enumerate() is no longer bounded to using sequences shorter than LONG_MAX.  The possibility of overflow was sending some newsgroup posters into a tizzy.

unicodedata.normalize().

available when necessary without recomputing.  Thanks Mark Dickinson

with Cawlishaw by mail, and he basically confirmed that to these is_*
operations, there's no need to return Decimal(0) and Decimal(1) if
the language supports the False and True booleans.

Also added a few tests for the these functions in extra.decTest, since
they are mostly untested (apart from the doctests).

Thanks Mark Dickinson

don't worry about any self-referring tuples.

Python code; but it is possible from C.  object.__str__ had the issue of not
expecting a type to doing something within it's tp_str implementation that
could trigger an infinite recursion, but it could in C code..  Both found
thanks to BaseException and how it handles its repr.

Closes issue #1686386.  Thanks to Thomas Herve for taking an initial stab at
coming up with a solution.

Change to LogRecord.__init__() to fix #1206. Note that archaic use of type(x) == types.DictType is because of keeping 1.5.2 compatibility. While this is much less relevant these days, there probably needs to be a separate commit for removing all archaic constructs at the same time.

Make tell() mark CRLF as a newline.
With unit test.

Try harder to stay within the 79-column limit. There's still two places that go (way) over, but those are harder to fix without suffering in readability.
