Add new functions to pack and unpack C double (serialize and
deserialize):
* PyFloat_Pack2(), PyFloat_Pack4(), PyFloat_Pack8()
* PyFloat_Unpack2(), PyFloat_Unpack4(), PyFloat_Unpack8()
Document these functions and add unit tests.
Rename private functions and move them from the internal C API
to the public C API:
* _PyFloat_Pack2() => PyFloat_Pack2()
* _PyFloat_Pack4() => PyFloat_Pack4()
* _PyFloat_Pack8() => PyFloat_Pack8()
* _PyFloat_Unpack2() => PyFloat_Unpack2()
* _PyFloat_Unpack4() => PyFloat_Unpack4()
* _PyFloat_Unpack8() => PyFloat_Unpack8()
Replace the "unsigned char*" type with "char*" which is more common
and easy to use.
* C API docs: move PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass docs
It was in the section about warnings, but it makes more sense to
put it with PyErr_SetImportError.
* C API docs: document closeit argument to PyRun_AnyFileExFlags
It was already documented for PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags.
* textual fixes to unicode docs
* Move paragraph about tp_dealloc into tp_dealloc section
* __aiter__ returns an async iterator, not an awaitable
This reduces the size of the data segment by **300 KB** of the executable because if the modules are deep-frozen then the marshalled frozen data just wastes space. This was inspired by comment by @gvanrossum in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/29118#issuecomment-958521863. Note: There is a new option `--deepfreeze-only` in `freeze_modules.py` to change this behavior, it is on be default to save disk space.

When Python is embedded in other applications, it is not easy to determine which version of Python is being used. This change exposes the Python version as part of the API data. Tools like Austin (https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin) can benefit from this data when targeting applications like uWSGI, as the Python version can then be inferred systematically by looking at the exported symbols rather than relying on unreliable pattern matching or other hacks (like remote code execution etc...).

The getpath.py file is frozen at build time and executed as code over a namespace. It is never imported, nor is it meant to be importable or reusable. However, it should be easier to read, modify, and patch than the previous code.
This commit attempts to preserve every previously tested quirk, but these may be changed in the future to better align platforms.
Rename PyConfig.no_debug_ranges to PyConfig.code_debug_ranges and
invert the value.
Document -X no_debug_ranges and PYTHONNODEBUGRANGES env var in
PyConfig.code_debug_ranges documentation.
It is now considered a historical accident that e.g. `for` loops and the `iter()` built-in function do not require the iterators they work with to define `__iter__`, only `__next__`.
Objects that support garbage collection ("container" objects) should
call PyObject_GC_UnTrack() from their destructors before clearing any
fields which may point to other "container" objects.
Add PyThreadState_EnterTracing() and PyThreadState_LeaveTracing()
functions to the limited C API to suspend and resume tracing and
profiling.
Add an unit test on the PyThreadState C API to _testcapi.
Add also internal _PyThreadState_DisableTracing() and
_PyThreadState_ResetTracing().
Replace old names when they refer to actual versions of macOS.
Keep historical names in references to older versions.

Add the Py_ALWAYS_INLINE macro to ask the compiler to always inline a
static inline function. The compiler can ignore it and decides to not
inline the function.
Convert the Py_TYPE() and Py_SIZE() macros to static inline
functions. The Py_SET_TYPE() and Py_SET_SIZE() functions must now be
used to set an object type and size.
Fix PyAiter_Check to only check for the `__anext__` presense (not for
`__aiter__`). Rename `PyAiter_Check()` to `PyAIter_Check()`,
`PyObject_GetAiter()` -> `PyObject_GetAIter()`.

Frozen modules must be added to several files in order to work properly. Before this change this had to be done manually. Here we add a tool to generate the relevant lines in those files instead. This helps us avoid mistakes and omissions.
https://bugs.python.org/issue45019
* Remove code that checks Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG
The field is always present in the type struct, as explained
in the added comment.
* Remove Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_AM_SEND
The flag is not needed, and since it was added in 3.10 it can be removed now.
Heap types with the Py_TPFLAGS_IMMUTABLETYPE flag can now inherit the
PEP 590 vectorcall protocol. Previously, this was only possible for static types.

I tried to be relatively thorough and give lots of links.
One reason is that this wasn't deprecated very long; also it seems people running into this tend to not be familiar with similar APIs.

Py_RunMain() now resets PyImport_Inittab to its initial value at
exit. It must be possible to call PyImport_AppendInittab() or
PyImport_ExtendInittab() at each Python initialization.
Convert the Py_TYPE() and Py_SIZE() macros to static inline
functions. The Py_SET_TYPE() and Py_SET_SIZE() functions must now be
used to set an object type and size.
Deprecate the following functions to configure the Python
initialization:
* PySys_AddWarnOption()
* PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
* PySys_AddXOption()
* PySys_HasWarnOptions()
* Py_SetPath()
* Py_SetProgramName()
* Py_SetPythonHome()
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Use the new PyConfig API of the Python Initialization Configuration
instead (PEP 587).
- Reformat the C API and ABI Versioning page (and extend/clarify a bit)
- Rewrite the stable ABI docs into a general text on C API Compatibility
- Add a list of Limited API contents, and notes for the individual items.
- Replace `Include/README.rst` with a link to a devguide page with the same info
Add a new Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION type flag to disallow
creating type instances: set tp_new to NULL and don't create the
"__new__" key in the type dictionary.
The flag is set automatically on static types if tp_base is NULL or
&PyBaseObject_Type and tp_new is NULL.
Use the flag on the following types:
* _curses.ncurses_version type
* _curses_panel.panel
* _tkinter.Tcl_Obj
* _tkinter.tkapp
* _tkinter.tktimertoken
* _xxsubinterpretersmodule.ChannelID
* sys.flags type
* sys.getwindowsversion() type
* sys.version_info type
Update MyStr example in the C API documentation to use
Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION.
Add _PyStructSequence_InitType() function to create a structseq type
with the Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION flag set.
type_new() calls _PyType_CheckConsistency() at exit.
* Add also references to --with-trace-refs option.
* Move _ob_next and _ob_prev at the end, since they don't exist by
default and are related to debug.
Introduce Py_TPFLAGS_IMMUTABLETYPE flag for immutable type objects, and
modify PyType_Ready() to set it for static types.

The suspicious check is still executed as part of the release process and release managers have been
lately fixing some actual errors that the suspicious target can find. For this reason, reactivate the suspicious
until we decide what to do in a coordinated fashion.
Add the Py_Is(x, y) function to test if the 'x' object is the 'y'
object, the same as "x is y" in Python. Add also the Py_IsNone(),
Py_IsTrue(), Py_IsFalse() functions to test if an object is,
respectively, the None singleton, the True singleton or the False
singleton.
Add Doc/using/configure.rst documentation to document configure,
preprocessor, compiler and linker options.
Add a new section about the "Python debug build".
See [PEP 597](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0597/).
* Add `-X warn_default_encoding` and `PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING`.
* Add EncodingWarning
* Add io.text_encoding()
* open(), TextIOWrapper() emits EncodingWarning when encoding is omitted and warn_default_encoding is enabled.
* _pyio.TextIOWrapper() uses UTF-8 as fallback default encoding used when failed to import locale module. (used during building Python)
* bz2, configparser, gzip, lzma, pathlib, tempfile modules use io.text_encoding().
* What's new entry
Stefan Krah requested the reversal of these (unreleased) changes, quoting him:
> The capsule API does not meet my testing standards, since I've focused
on the upstream mpdecimal in the last couple of months.
> Additionally, I'd like to refine the API, perhaps together with the
Arrow community.

For some mysterious reason we have PySet_Check, PyFrozenSet_Check, PyAnySet_Check, PyAnySet_CheckExact and PyFrozenSet_CheckExact but no PySet_CheckExact.
* Refactor _PyFrame_New_NoTrack() and PyFunction_NewWithQualName()
code.
* PyFrame_New() checks for _PyEval_BuiltinsFromGlobals() failure.
* Fix a ref leak in _PyEval_BuiltinsFromGlobals() error path.
* Complete PyFunction_GetModule() documentation: it returns a
borrowed reference and it can return NULL.
* Move _PyEval_BuiltinsFromGlobals() definition to the internal C
API.
* PyFunction_NewWithQualName() uses _Py_IDENTIFIER() API for the
"__name__" string to make it compatible with subinterpreters.
I think that none of these API calls can fail, but only few of them are
documented as such. Add the sentence "This function always succeeds" (which is
the same already used e.g. by PyNumber_Check) to all of them.
* There were leaks if Py_tp_bases is used more than once or if some call is
failed before setting tp_bases.
* There was a crash if the bases argument or the Py_tp_bases slot is not a tuple.
* The documentation was not accurate.
This change partically reverts
commit ad3252bad9
and the commit fe2978b3b9.
Many third party C extension modules rely on the ability of using
Py_TYPE() to set an object type: "Py_TYPE(obj) = type;" or to set an
object type using: "Py_SIZE(obj) = size;".
Fix _PyConfig_Read() if compute_path_config=0: use values set by
Py_SetPath(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_SetProgramName(). Add
compute_path_config parameter to _PyConfig_InitPathConfig().
The following functions now return NULL if called before
Py_Initialize():
* Py_GetExecPrefix()
* Py_GetPath()
* Py_GetPrefix()
* Py_GetProgramFullPath()
* Py_GetProgramName()
* Py_GetPythonHome()
These functions no longer automatically computes the Python Path
Configuration. Moreover, Py_SetPath() no longer computes
program_full_path.
The PyConfig_Read() function now only parses PyConfig.argv arguments
once: PyConfig.parse_argv is set to 2 after arguments are parsed.
Since Python arguments are strippped from PyConfig.argv, parsing
arguments twice would parse the application options as Python
options.
* Rework the PyConfig documentation.
* Fix _testinternalcapi.set_config() error handling.
* SetConfigTests no longer needs parse_argv=0 when restoring the old
configuration.
* Inline _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig(): replace it with
_PyConfig_Copy().
* Add _PyErr_SetFromPyStatus()
* Add _PyInterpreterState_GetConfigCopy()
* Add a new _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig() function.
* Add an unit which gets, modifies, and sets the config.
Enhance the documentation of the Python startup, filesystem encoding
and error handling, locale encoding. Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode"
section.
* Add "locale encoding" and "filesystem encoding and error handler"
to the glossary
* Remove documentation from Include/cpython/initconfig.h: move it to
Doc/c-api/init_config.rst.
* Doc/c-api/init_config.rst:
* Document command line options and environment variables
* Document default values.
* Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode" section in Doc/library/os.rst.
* Add warnings to Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() docs.
* Document how Python selects the filesystem encoding and error
handler at a single place: PyConfig.filesystem_encoding and
PyConfig.filesystem_errors.
* PyConfig: move orig_argv member at the right place.
If the nl_langinfo(CODESET) function returns an empty string, Python
now uses UTF-8 as the filesystem encoding.
In May 2010 (commit b744ba1d14), I
modified Python to log a warning and use UTF-8 as the filesystem
encoding (instead of None) if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty
string.
In August 2020 (commit 94908bbc15), I
modified Python startup to fail with a fatal error and a specific
error message if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty string. The
intent was to prevent guessing the encoding and also investigate user
configuration where this case happens.
In 10 years (2010 to 2020), I saw zero user report about the error
message related to nl_langinfo(CODESET) returning an empty string.
Today, UTF-8 became the defacto standard and it's safe to make the
assumption that the user expects UTF-8. For example,
nl_langinfo(CODESET) can return an empty string on macOS if the
LC_CTYPE locale is not supported, and UTF-8 is the default encoding
on macOS.
While this change is likely to not affect anyone in practice, it
should make UTF-8 lover happy ;-)
Rewrite also the documentation explaining how Python selects the
filesystem encoding and error handler.
The new API allows to efficiently send values into native generators
and coroutines avoiding use of StopIteration exceptions to signal
returns.
ceval loop now uses this method instead of the old "private"
_PyGen_Send C API. This translates to 1.6x increased performance
of 'await' calls in micro-benchmarks.
Aside from CPython core improvements, this new API will also allow
Cython to generate more efficient code, benefiting high-performance
IO libraries like uvloop.
For example, fix the following Sphinx 3 errors:
Doc/c-api/buffer.rst:102: WARNING: Error in declarator or parameters
Invalid C declaration: Expected identifier in nested name. [error at 5]
void \*obj
-----^
Doc/c-api/arg.rst:130: WARNING: Unparseable C cross-reference: 'PyObject*'
Invalid C declaration: Expected end of definition. [error at 8]
PyObject*
--------^
The modified documentation is compatible with Sphinx 2 and Sphinx 3.
Fix two Sphinx 3 issues:
Doc/c-api/buffer.rst:304: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'c-api/buffer'.
Declaration is 'PyBUF_ND'.
Doc/c-api/unicode.rst:1603: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'c-api/unicode'.
Declaration is 'PyObject* PyUnicode_Translate(PyObject *str, PyObject *table, const char *errors)'.
Add sys.orig_argv attribute: the list of the original command line
arguments passed to the Python executable.
Rename also PyConfig._orig_argv to PyConfig.orig_argv and
document it.
The PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro must now be defined to use
PyArg_ParseTuple() and Py_BuildValue() "#" formats: "es#", "et#",
"s#", "u#", "y#", "z#", "U#" and "Z#". See the PEP 353.
Update _testcapi.test_buildvalue_issue38913().
The C99 functions snprintf() and vsnprintf() are now required
to build Python.
PyOS_snprintf() and PyOS_vsnprintf() no longer call Py_FatalError().
Previously, they called Py_FatalError() on a buffer overflow on platforms
which don't provide vsnprintf().
This commit removes the old parser, the deprecated parser module, the old parser compatibility flags and environment variables and all associated support code and documentation.
Export explicitly the Py_GetArgcArgv() function to the C API and
document the function. Previously, it was exported implicitly which
no longer works since Python is built with -fvisibility=hidden.
* Add PyConfig._orig_argv member.
* Py_InitializeFromConfig() no longer calls _PyConfig_Write() twice.
* PyConfig_Read() no longer initializes Py_GetArgcArgv(): it is now
_PyConfig_Write() responsibility.
* _PyConfig_Write() result type becomes PyStatus instead of void.
* Write an unit test on Py_GetArgcArgv().
Previously, the result could have been an instance of a subclass of int.
Also revert bpo-26202 and make attributes start, stop and step of the range
object having exact type int.
Add private function _PyNumber_Index() which preserves the old behavior
of PyNumber_Index() for performance to use it in the conversion functions
like PyLong_AsLong().
Convert Py_REFCNT() and Py_SIZE() macros to static inline functions.
They cannot be used as l-value anymore: use Py_SET_REFCNT() and
Py_SET_SIZE() to set an object reference count and size.
Replace &Py_SIZE(self) with &((PyVarObject*)self)->ob_size
in arraymodule.c.
This change is backward incompatible on purpose, to prepare the C API
for an opaque PyObject structure.
* Fix outdated __int__ and nb_int references in comments
* Also update C-API documentation
* Add back missing 'method' word
* Remove .. deprecated notices
Module C state is now accessible from C-defined heap type methods (PEP 573).

An isolated subinterpreter cannot spawn threads, spawn a child
process or call os.fork().
* Add private _Py_NewInterpreter(isolated_subinterpreter) function.
* Add isolated=True keyword-only parameter to
_xxsubinterpreters.create().
* Allow again os.fork() in "non-isolated" subinterpreters.
New PyFrame_GetBack() function: get the frame next outer frame.
Replace frame->f_back with PyFrame_GetBack(frame) in most code but
frameobject.c, ceval.c and genobject.c.
PyFrame_GetCode(frame): return a borrowed reference to the frame
code.
Replace frame->f_code with PyFrame_GetCode(frame) in most code,
except in frameobject.c, genobject.c and ceval.c.
Also add PyFrame_GetLineNumber() to the limited C API.
Add a new separated pyframe.h header file of the PyFrame public C
API: it is included by Python.h.
Add PyFrame_GetLineNumber() to the limited C API.
Replace "struct _frame" with "PyFrameObject" in header files.
PyFrameObject is now defined as struct _frame by pyframe.h which is
included early enough in Python.h.
Adds a short description of `PyDoc_STRVAR` and `PyDoc_STR` to "Useful macros" section of C-API docs.
Currently, there is [one lone mention](https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/module.html?highlight=pydoc_strvar#c.PyModuleDef) in the C-API reference, despite the fact that `PyDoc_STRVAR` is ubiquitous to `Modules/`.
Additionally, this properly uses `c:macro` within `Doc/c-api/module.rst` to link.
* Rename PyConfig.use_peg to _use_peg_parser
* Document PyConfig._use_peg_parser and mark it a deprecated
* Mark -X oldparser option and PYTHONOLDPARSER env var as deprecated
in the documentation.
* Add use_old_parser() and skip_if_new_parser() to test.support
* Remove sys.flags.use_peg: use_old_parser() uses
_testinternalcapi.get_configs() instead.
* Enhance test_embed tests
* subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() copies -X oldparser
* Replace PY_INT64_T with int64_t
* Replace PY_UINT32_T with uint32_t
* Replace PY_UINT64_T with uint64_t
sha3module.c no longer checks if PY_UINT64_T is defined since it's
always defined and uint64_t is always available on platforms
supported by Python.
Add the functions PyObject_GC_IsTracked and PyObject_GC_IsFinalized to the public API to allow to query if Python objects are being currently tracked or have been already finalized by the garbage collector respectively.
If Py_AddPendingCall() is called in a subinterpreter, the function is
now scheduled to be called from the subinterpreter, rather than being
called from the main interpreter.
Each subinterpreter now has its own list of scheduled calls.
* Move pending and eval_breaker fields from _PyRuntimeState.ceval
to PyInterpreterState.ceval.
* new_interpreter() now calls _PyEval_InitThreads() to create
pending calls lock.
* Fix Py_AddPendingCall() for subinterpreters. It now calls
_PyThreadState_GET() which works in a subinterpreter if the
caller holds the GIL, and only falls back on
PyGILState_GetThisThreadState() if _PyThreadState_GET()
returns NULL.
Extension modules: m_traverse, m_clear and m_free functions of
PyModuleDef are no longer called if the module state was requested
but is not allocated yet. This is the case immediately after the
module is created and before the module is executed (Py_mod_exec
function). More precisely, these functions are not called if m_size is
greater than 0 and the module state (as returned by
PyModule_GetState()) is NULL.
Extension modules without module state (m_size <= 0) are not affected.

* Rename _PyInterpreterState_Get() to PyInterpreterState_Get() and
move it the limited C API.
* Add _PyInterpreterState_Get() alias to PyInterpreterState_Get() for
backward compatibility with Python 3.8.
* sys.settrace(), sys.setprofile() and _lsprof.Profiler.enable() now
properly report PySys_Audit() error if "sys.setprofile" or
"sys.settrace" audit event is denied.
* Add _PyEval_SetProfile() and _PyEval_SetTrace() function: similar
to PyEval_SetProfile() and PyEval_SetTrace() but take a tstate
parameter and return -1 on error.
* Add _PyObject_FastCallTstate() function.
PyInterpreterState.eval_frame function now requires a tstate (Python
thread state) parameter.
Add private functions to the C API to get and set the frame
evaluation function:
* Add tstate parameter to _PyFrameEvalFunction function type.
* Add _PyInterpreterState_GetEvalFrameFunc() and
_PyInterpreterState_SetEvalFrameFunc() functions.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault().
The Py_FatalError() function is replaced with a macro which logs
automatically the name of the current function, unless the
Py_LIMITED_API macro is defined.
Changes:
* Add _Py_FatalErrorFunc() function.
* Remove the function name from the message of Py_FatalError() calls
which included the function name.
* Update tests.
Reflecting changes to the code, removed weakref.ReferenceError from weakref.rst and exceptions.rst.
Issue submitter provided evidence that the `weakref.ReferenceError` alias for `ReferenceError` was removed from the code in 2007. Working with @gvanrossum at PyCascades CPython sprint we looked at the code and confirmed that `weakref.ReferenceError` was no longer in `weakref.py`.
Based on that analysis I removed references `weakref.ReferenceError` from the two documents where it was still being referenced: `weakref.rst` and `exceptions.rst`.
https://bugs.python.org/issue38374
From the source for `PyUnicode_Decode`, the implementation is:
```
if (encoding == NULL) {
return PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful(s, size, errors, NULL);
}
```
which is pretty clearly not defaulting to ASCII.
---
I assume this needs neither a news entry nor bpo link.
* Add backcompat defines and move non-limited API declaration to cpython/
This partially reverts commit 2ff58a24e8
which added PyObject_CallNoArgs to the 3.9+ stable ABI. This should not
be done; there are enough other call APIs in the stable ABI to choose from.
* Adjust documentation
Mark all newly public functions as added in 3.9.
Add a note about the 3.8 provisional names.
Add notes on public API.
* Put PyObject_CallNoArgs back in the limited API
* Rename PyObject_FastCallDict to PyObject_VectorcallDict
