close #2314

Using __new__ was made an error 8 years ago, keeping this in the docs just causes confusion at this point (e.g. #2311).

Make raise-statements inside of nogil blocks automatically acquire the GIL, instead of requiring an explicit ``with gil`` block around them.

Fix: reallowing tp_clear() in a subtype of an @no_gc_clear extension type generated an invalid C function call to the (non-existent) base type implementation.
Closes #2309.

Add decrlarations from ceval.h

Add PyEval_InitThreads and PyEval_ThreadsInitialized

Added an example of iteration for x in vector.

Closes #1771.

This reverts commit eb0e4666.

Fix importing of namespace packages. Add in a regtest for the same.

Fix warning about "comparison between signed and unsigned" in example and make it fully C89 compatible.

Updated runtests to exclude the pyximport_namespace test. Implicit namespace packages were introduced in Python 3.3.

Added tests for the convolve with the memoryviews in the docs.

Remove redundant helper function "__Pyx_ImportModule()" which was only needed in Py<2.6 when PyObject_GetAttrString() and PyImport_ImportModule() did not take const string arguments.

Mark several one-time functions (used during module init) with CYTHON_SMALL_CODE to reduce their binary code impact on the overall module size.
