``gc.freeze()`` is a new API that allows for moving all objects currently
|
|
tracked by the garbage collector to a permanent generation, effectively
|
|
removing them from future collection events. This can be used to protect
|
|
those objects from having their PyGC_Head mutated. In effect, this enables
|
|
great copy-on-write stability at fork().

Simplify the API of IDLE's Module Browser.
|
|
Passing a widget instead of an flist with a root widget opens the option of
|
|
creating a browser frame that is only part of a window. Passing a full file
|
|
name instead of pieces assumed to come from a .py file opens the possibility
|
|
of browsing python files that do not end in .py.

Rename IDLE's module browser from Class Browser to Module Browser. The
|
|
original module-level class and method browser became a module browser, with
|
|
the addition of module-level functions, years ago. Nested classes and
|
|
functions were added yesterday. For back-compatibility, the virtual event
|
|
<<open-class-browser>>, which appears on the Keys tab of the Settings
|
|
dialog, is not changed. Patch by Cheryl Sabella.

Local Storage (TLS) API to CPython which would supersede use of the existing

TLS API within the CPython interpreter, while deprecating the existing API.
