In 1.6 and earlier, a negative long formatted via %u raised an error if it was too big to fit in an int. Dictionary objects have an odd new method, ...

Greg Ward's "distutils" package is included: this will make installing, building and distributing third party packages much simpler. There's now special syntax that you can use instead of the apply() function. f(*args, **kwds) is equivalent to apply(f, args, kwds). You can also use variations f(a1, a2, *args, **kwds) and you can leave one or...
