  Remove the sys.version_info shortcut, since they cause the APIs
  to return different information than the _sys_version() output
  used in previous Python versions.

  This also fixes issue5561: platform.python_version_tuple returns tuple of ints, should be strings

  Added more tests for the various platform functions.

patch by Victor Stinner #4016

Guard _fileio.c against other malicious os.close(f.fileno()) attempts.
Add tests to test_fileio.py to verify behaviour.

Return None rather than raise an exception if os.device_error is given an invalid file descriptor.

Fix to the last checkin, correctly raise an exception on failure.

Someone may have closed the file descriptor, with something like
f = open('test.test', 'w')
os.close(f.fileno())
f.close()
Protect against this by checking fd on windows before closing.

  Issue #4688: Add a heuristic so that tuples and dicts containing only
  untrackable objects are not tracked by the garbage collector. This can
  reduce the size of collections and therefore the garbage collection overhead
  on long-running programs, depending on their particular use of datatypes.

  (trivia: this makes the "binary_trees" benchmark from the Computer Language
  Shootout 40% faster)

  Issue #5512: speed up the long division algorithm for Python longs.
  The basic algorithm remains the same; the most significant speedups
  come from the following three changes:

    (1) normalize by shifting instead of multiplying and dividing
    (2) the old algorithm usually did an unnecessary extra iteration of
        the outer loop; remove this.  As a special case, this means that
        long divisions with a single-digit result run twice as fast as
        before.
    (3) make inner loop much tighter.

  Various benchmarks show speedups of between 50% and 150% for long
  integer divisions and modulo operations.

  partial bzip2 compressed data.
