Porting Standard Library Modules

This page is for tracking which standard library modules have been updated from CPythonLib (2.7@r88850), patched and committed.

Some modules have patches generated by genpatches.py. Some of those patches failed to apply and will have to be patched manually. Others don't even have proper patches because the genpatches.py script was unable to locate the last CPython synchronization changeset automatically.

TODO Before Release

Some changes require manual testing to make sure they haven't introduced any regressions:

• Changeset 87a9ee318704: Lib/pydoc.py: make sure that help() works in standalone mode to prevent resurfacing of issue #1452
