| are now lazy wrappers over the underlying modules instead of the actual | |
| modules themselves. | |

| and itertools.zip_longest and itertools.filterfalse on Python 3. | |
| - Issue #25: Add the unichr function, which returns a string for a Unicode | |
| codepoint. | |

| urllib2, and urlparse in Python 2. | |

| keyword arguments will raise. | |

| imported under. | |
| - Fix Jython detection. | |

| instead of iterables. | |
| - Issue #11: Fix maxsize support on Jython. | |
