@ -18,6 +18,10 @@ Type/class unification and new-style classes
- The new builtin dictionary() constructor, and dictionary type, have
been renamed to dict. This reflects a decade of common usage.
- dict() now accepts an iterable object producing 2-sequences. For
example, dict(d.items()) == d for any dictionary d. The argument,
and the elements of the argument, can be any iterable objects.
- New-style classes can now have a __del__ method, which is called
when the instance is deleted (just like for classic classes).

instances of new-style classes that have a __dict__ (unless the base
class forbids it).
- dictionary() now accepts an iterable object producing 2-sequences.
For example, dictionary(d.items()) == d for any dictionary d. The
argument, and the elements of the argument, can be any iterable
objects.
- Methods of built-in types now properly check for keyword arguments
(formerly these were silently ignored). The only built-in methods
that take keyword arguments are __call__, __init__ and __new__.
