04d92c37f2 Remove list of pickle protocol names used by the copy module; there
are enough subtleties to pickling that we don't want misunderstanding
to spread because we don't provide all the information twice.  The
reference to the pickle module for information will have to suffice;
at least only one portion of the docs will be out of date.  ;-(

49f9bd15ff SF feature request #686323: Minor array module enhancements
array.extend() now accepts iterable arguments implements as a series
of appends.  Besides being a user convenience and matching the behavior
for lists, this the saves memory and cycles that would be used to
create a temporary array object.

31017aed36 SF #904720: dict.update should take a 2-tuple sequence like dict.__init_
(Championed by Bob Ippolito.)

The update() method for mappings now accepts all the same argument forms
as the dict() constructor.  This includes item lists and/or keyword
arguments.

d1080a3418 Have strftime() check its time tuple argument to make sure the tuple's values
are within proper boundaries as specified in the docs.

This can break possible code (datetime module needed changing, for instance)
that uses 0 for values that need to be greater 1 or greater (month, day, and
day of year).

Fixes bug #897625.

0a4977c2f3 Replace left(), right(), and __reversed__() with the more general purpose
__getitem__() and __setitem__().

Simplifies the API, reduces the code size, adds flexibility, and makes
deques work with bisect.bisect(), random.shuffle(), and random.sample().

738ec90ca1 Improvements to collections.deque():
* Add doctests for the examples in the library reference.
* Add two methods, left() and right(), modeled after deques in C++ STL.
* Apply the new method to asynchat.py.
* Add comparison operators to make deques more substitutable for lists.
* Replace the LookupErrors with IndexErrors to more closely match lists.

e2b4b32025 Implementation of patch 869468
Allow the user to create Tkinter.Tcl objects which are
just like Tkinter.Tk objects except that they do not
initialize Tk. This is useful in circumstances where the
script is being run on machines that do not have an X
server running -- in those cases, Tk initialization fails,
even if no window is ever created.

Includes documentation change and tests.

Tested on Linux, Solaris and Windows.
