Nick Coghlan 19d246745d Issue #23722: improve __classcell__ compatibility
Handling zero-argument super() in __init_subclass__ and
__set_name__ involved moving __class__ initialisation to
type.__new__. This requires cooperation from custom
metaclasses to ensure that the new __classcell__ entry
is passed along appropriately.

The initial implementation of that change resulted in abruptly
broken zero-argument super() support in metaclasses that didn't
adhere to the new requirements (such as Django's metaclass for
Model definitions).

The updated approach adopted here instead emits a deprecation
warning for those cases, and makes them work the same way they
did in Python 3.5.

This patch also improves the related class machinery documentation
to cover these details and to include more reader-friendly
cross-references and index entries.

  several more) can be set to None in an implementation class and the
  behavior will be as if the method is not defined at all.
  (Previously, this mechanism existed only for __hash__, to make
  mutable classes unhashable.)  Code contributed by Andrew Barnert and

Brett Cannon 849113af6b Issue #25791: Warn when __package__ != __spec__.parent.
In a previous change, __spec__.parent was prioritized over
__package__. That is a backwards-compatibility break, but we do
eventually want __spec__ to be the ground truth for module details. So
this change reverts the change in semantics and instead raises an
ImportWarning when __package__ != __spec__.parent to give people time
to adjust to using spec objects.

Yury Selivanov 8fb307cd65 Issue #24619: New approach for tokenizing async/await.
This commit fixes how one-line async-defs and defs are tracked
by tokenizer.  It allows to correctly parse invalid code such
as:

>>> async def f():
...     def g(): pass
...     async = 10

and valid code such as:

>>> async def f():
...     async def g(): pass
...     await z

As a consequence, is is now possible to have one-line
'async def foo(): await ..' functions:

>>> async def foo(): return await bar()

Yury Selivanov 5376ba9630 Issue #24400: Introduce a distinct type for 'async def' coroutines.
Summary of changes:

1. Coroutines now have a distinct, separate from generators
   type at the C level: PyGen_Type, and a new typedef PyCoroObject.
   PyCoroObject shares the initial segment of struct layout with
   PyGenObject, making it possible to reuse existing generators
   machinery.  The new type is exposed as 'types.CoroutineType'.

   As a consequence of having a new type, CO_GENERATOR flag is
   no longer applied to coroutines.

2. Having a separate type for coroutines made it possible to add
   an __await__ method to the type.  Although it is not used by the
   interpreter (see details on that below), it makes coroutines
   naturally (without using __instancecheck__) conform to
   collections.abc.Coroutine and collections.abc.Awaitable ABCs.

   [The __instancecheck__ is still used for generator-based
   coroutines, as we don't want to add __await__ for generators.]

3. Add new opcode: GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER.  The opcode is needed to
   allow passing native coroutines to the YIELD_FROM opcode.

   Before this change, 'yield from o' expression was compiled to:

      (o)
      GET_ITER
      LOAD_CONST
      YIELD_FROM

   Now, we use GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER instead of GET_ITER.

   The reason for adding a new opcode is that GET_ITER is used
   in some contexts (such as 'for .. in' loops) where passing
   a coroutine object is invalid.

4. Add two new introspection functions to the inspec module:
   getcoroutinestate(c) and getcoroutinelocals(c).

5. inspect.iscoroutine(o) is updated to test if 'o' is a native
   coroutine object.  Before this commit it used abc.Coroutine,
   and it was requested to update inspect.isgenerator(o) to use
   abc.Generator; it was decided, however, that inspect functions
   should really be tailored for checking for native types.

6. sys.set_coroutine_wrapper(w) API is updated to work with only
   native coroutines.  Since types.coroutine decorator supports
   any type of callables now, it would be confusing that it does
   not work for all types of coroutines.

7. Exceptions logic in generators C implementation was updated
   to raise clearer messages for coroutines:

   Before: TypeError("generator raised StopIteration")
   After: TypeError("coroutine raised StopIteration")

Brett Cannon 8f5ac5106e Issue #15767: Touch up ModuleNotFoundError usage by import.
Forgot to raise ModuleNotFoundError when None is found in sys.modules.
This led to introducing the C function PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass()
to make setting ModuleNotFoundError easier.

Also updated the reference docs to mention ModuleNotFoundError
appropriately. Updated the docs for ModuleNotFoundError to mention the
None in sys.modules case.

Lastly, it was noticed that PyErr_SetImportError() was not setting an
exception when returning None in one case. That issue is now fixed.

Brett Cannon 4c14b5de1c #17115,17116: Have modules initialize the __package__ and __loader__
attributes to None.

The long-term goal is for people to be able to rely on these
attributes existing and checking for None to see if they have been
set. Since import itself sets these attributes when a loader does not
the only instances when the attributes are None are from someone
overloading __import__() and not using a loader or someone creating a
module from scratch.

This patch also unifies module initialization. Before you could have
different attributes with default values depending on how the module
object was created. Now the only way to not get the same default set
of attributes is to circumvent initialization by calling
ModuleType.__new__() directly.
