audioop: Any bytes-like objects are now accepted. Strings no more supported.
base64: ascii85/base85 codecs.

constructor. The replace keyword argument was added in the set_param()
method.

functools: total_ordering now supports the NotImplemented value.
glob: Added the escape() function.
ipaddress: Added the IPv4Address.is_global attribute.
json: Used ``(',', ': ')`` as default in dump() and dumps() if indent is not
None. I.e. trailing spaces no more produced by default.

value for fname in the fileConfig() function. The verify argument was added in
the listen() function.

and writePlistToBytes() functions, the Data class.
