    although the language definition does not guarantee stability.  A
    potential drawback is that list.sort() may require temp space of
!   len(list)*2 bytes (\*4 on a 64-bit machine).  It's therefore possible
    for list.sort() to raise MemoryError now, even if a comparison function
    does not.  See <http://www.python.org/sf/587076> for full details.

    CHECKTYPES flag set.  This is to better support proxies.
  
! - The type of tp_free has been changed from "void (*)(PyObject \*)" to
!   "void (*)(void \*)".
  
  - PyObject_Del, PyObject_GC_Del are now functions instead of macros.

    Scott.  Note that SIGBREAK is unique to Windows.  The default SIGBREAK
    action remains to call Win32 ExitProcess().  This can be changed via
!   signal.signal().  For example: ::
  
        # Make Ctrl+Break raise KeyboardInterrupt, like Python's default Ctrl+C

  - Note that PyLong_AsDouble can fail!  This has always been true, but no
    callers checked for it.  It's more likely to fail now, because overflow
!   errors are properly detected now.  The proper way to check: ::
  
        double x = PyLong_AsDouble(some_long_object);

      map(), filter(), reduce(), zip()
