None, as far as I know, apart from the pow function's ability to take a 3rd 
argument.  Both ultimately call PyNumber_Power, and the various type-specific 
__pow__ methods take over from there.  [+1 for removing pow from the builtins 
and shunting three-argument pow to the math module in Python 5000000.]
