137

141- Removed support for Python 2.4. This is because py.test no longer supports
142  2.4.

164

203  bunch of things which are in urllib in Python 3 and spread out across urllib,
204  urllib2, and urlparse in Python 2.
205

236  instead of iterables.
237
238- Issue #11: Fix maxsize support on Jython.
239
