! \item There is a new \module{collections} module which currently offers
! just one new datatype, \class{deque}, which offers high-performance,
! thread-safe, memory friendly appends and pops on either side of the
! deque resulting in efficient stacks and queues:

! \item There is a new \module{collections} module for 
! various specialized collection datatypes. 
! Currently it contains just one type, \class{deque},

! Several modules now take advantage of \class{collections.deque()} for
 improved performance: \module{Queue}, \module{mutex}, \module{shlex}
 \module{threading}, and \module{pydoc}.

 \item The \module{heapq} module has been converted to C. The resulting
! ten-fold improvement in speed makes the module suitable for handling
 high volumes of data.
