- A type can now inherit its metatype from its base type. Previously,
when PyType_Ready() was called, if ob_type was found to be NULL, it was always set to &PyType_Type; now it is set to base->ob_type, where base is tp_base, defaulting to &PyObject_Type. - PyType_Ready() accidentally did not inherit tp_is_gc; now it does. Bugfix candidate.
