FYI, I have several non-major C components to go in but not in time for alpha 1. They include some minor fix-ups in the sets module, the str.partition function, add gc to itertools.tee, a couple of functions in binascii, add itertools.iziplongest, Crutcher's patch to make exec take dictionary arguments, move the peepholer to just before the assembler, and implement Alex's iterator copier for a number of iterables (xrange, repeat, count, reversed, list, tuple, deque, dict, and set). All of these have been previously discussed/approved and should go in to the second alpha. The only one that is borderline is Crutcher's patch. I will try to free up some time to get that into alpha 1. It touches critical parts of the interpreted and needs to be reviewed, tested, timed, and exercised thoroughly.

All those seem reasonable. Do the functions you mention address Josiah's patch?
