+ without Unicode support it will be just (str,).
+
+ - The pulldom and minidom modules were synchronized to PyXML.

- In unix-Python on Mac OS X (and darwin) sys.platform is now "darwin",
without any trailing digits.
+
+ - Changed logic for finding python home in Mac OS X framework Pythons.
+ Now sys.executable points to the executable again, in stead of to
+ the shared library. The latter is used only for locating the python
+ home.
