\code{L.sort(reverse=True)}.
+ \item The \function{zip()} built-in function and \function{itertools.izip()} now return an empty list

supports transparency, this makes it possible to use a transparent background.
(Contributed by J\"org Lehmann.)
+
+ \item The \module{random} module has a new method called \method{getrandbits(N)}
+ which returns an N-bit long integer.
+
+ \item The regular expression language accepted by the \module{re} module
+ was extended with simple conditional expressions, written as
+ \code{(?(\var{group})\var{A}|\var{B})}. \var{group} is either a
+ numeric group ID or a group name defined with \code{(?P<group>...)}
+ earlier in the expression. If the specified group matched, the
+ regular expression pattern \var{A} will be tested against the string; if
+ the group didn't match, the pattern \var{B} will be used instead.

! \item Detailed changes are listed here.
\end{itemize}
--- 140,150 ----
\begin{itemize}
! \item Three new convenience macros were added for common return
! values from extension functions: \csimplemacro{Py_RETURN_NONE},
! \csimplemacro{Py_RETURN_TRUE}, and \csimplemacro{Py_RETURN_FALSE}.
!
! \item A new function, \cfunction{PyTuple_Pack(N, obj1, obj2, ...,
! objN)}, constructs tuples from a variable length argument list of
! Python objects.
\end{itemize}
***************
*** 161,166 ****
\begin{itemize}
! \item dircache.listdir now passes exceptions to the caller,
! instead of returning empty lists.
