There's one major and one minor category still unfixed:
doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the
refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon);
other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category.

(Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)

I mea, *really* equal -- for now, the implementation just imports
itertools. :-)
The only other changes necessary were various unit tests that were
assuming zip() returns a real list.  No "real" code made this assumption.

expected, when dealing with new-style broken-iterators.

[ 1229429 ] missing Py_DECREF in PyObject_CallMethod

Add a test in test_enumerate, which is a bit random, but suffices
(reversed_new calls PyObject_CallMethod under some circumstances).

for xrange and list objects).

* list.__reversed__ now checks the length of the sequence object before
  calling PyList_GET_ITEM() because the mutable could have changed length.

* all three implementations are now tranparent with respect to length and
  maintain the invariant len(it) == len(list(it)) even when the underlying
  sequence mutates.

* __builtin__.reversed() now frees the underlying sequence as soon
  as the iterator is exhausted.

* the code paths were rearranged so that the most common paths
  do not require a jump.

was academic and it was potentially confusing to use.

* Install the unittests, docs, newsitem, include file, and makefile update.
* Exercise the new functions whereever sets.py was being used.

Includes the docs for libfuncs.tex.  Separate docs for the types are
forthcoming.

* Allow tuple re-use
* Call tp_iternext directly

and test_support.run_classtests() into run_unittest()
and use it wherever possible.

Also don't use "from test.test_support import ...", but
"from test import test_support" in a few spots.

From SF patch #662807.

imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".

This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by
Lib/email/test/data).

Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)

  enumerate("abc") is an iterator returning (0,"a"), (1,"b"), (2,"c").
  The argument can be an arbitrary iterable object.
