SF bug #1251300: On UCS-4 builds the "unicode-internal" codec will now complain
about illegal code points. The codec now supports PEP 293 style error handlers.
(This is a variant of the patch by Nik Haldimann that detects truncated data)
Fix over-aggressive PyErr_Clear(). The same code fragment appears in
various guises in list.extend(), map(), filter(), zip(), and internally
in PySequence_Tuple().
and set.discard for handling keys that both inherite from set and
define their own __hash__() function.
* Fixed O(n) performance issue with set.pop() which should have been
an O(1) process.

SF bug #1238681: freed pointer is used in longobject.c:long_pow().
In addition, long_pow() skipped a necessary (albeit extremely unlikely
to trigger) error check when converting an int modulus to long.
Alas, I was unable to write a test case that crashed due to either
cause.

SF bug 1185883: PyObject_Realloc can't safely take over a block currently
managed by C, because it's possible for the block to be smaller than the
new requested size, and at the end of allocated VM. Trying to copy over
nbytes bytes to a Python small-object block can segfault then, and there's
no portable way to avoid this (we would have to know how many bytes
starting at p are addressable, and std C has no means to determine that).
Fix for rather inaccurately titled bug
[ 1165306 ] Property access with decorator makes interpreter crash
Don't allow the creation of unbound methods with NULL im_class, because
attempting to call such crashes.
Backport candidate.
[ 1124295 ] Function's __name__ no longer accessible in restricted mode
which I introduced with a bit of mindless copy-paste when making
__name__ writable. You can't assign to __name__ in restricted mode,
which I'm going to pretend was intentional :)
In cyclic gc, clear weakrefs to unreachable objects before allowing any
Python code (weakref callbacks or __del__ methods) to run.
This is a critical bugfix, affecting all versions of Python since weakrefs
were introduced. I'll backport to 2.3.
