If anyone wants to clean up the documentation, feel free. It's my first documentation foray, and it's not that great.
Will port to py3k with a different strategy.
- simplify parsing and printing of complex numbers
- make complex(repr(z)) round-tripping work for complex
numbers involving nans, infs, or negative zeros
- don't accept some of the stranger complex strings
that were previously allowed---e.g., complex('1..1j')
int, long, and float __format__(), and it keeps their implementation
in sync with py3k.
Also added PyOS_double_to_string. This is the "fallback" version
that's also available in trunk, and should be kept in sync with that
code. I'll add an issue to document PyOS_double_to_string in the C
API.
There are many internal cleanups. Externally visible changes include:
- Implement PEP 378, Format Specifier for Thousands Separator, for
floats, ints, and longs.
- Issue #5515: 'n' formatting for ints, longs, and floats handles
leading zero formatting poorly.
- Issue #5772: For float.__format__, don't add a trailing ".0" if
we're using no type code and we have an exponent.

Re http://bugs.python.org/issue4315
The symbol table used the same name dictionaries to recursively
analyze each of its child blocks, even though the dictionaries are
modified during analysis. The fix is to create new temporary
dictionaries via the analyze_child_block(). The only information that
needs to propagate back up is the names of the free variables.
Add more comments and break out a helper function. This code doesn't
get any easier to understand when you only look at it once a year.

POP_JUMP_IF_{TRUE,FALSE} and JUMP_IF_{TRUE,FALSE}_OR_POP. This avoids executing
a POP_TOP on each conditional and sometimes allows the peephole optimizer to
skip a JUMP_ABSOLUTE entirely. It speeds up list comprehensions significantly.
