Remove the distutils package. It was deprecated in Python 3.10 by PEP
632 "Deprecate distutils module". For projects still using distutils
and cannot be updated to something else, the setuptools project can
be installed: it still provides distutils.
* Remove Lib/distutils/ directory
* Remove test_distutils
* Remove references to distutils
* Skip test_check_c_globals and test_peg_generator since they use
distutils
A backslash-character pair that is not a valid escape sequence now
generates a SyntaxWarning, instead of DeprecationWarning. For
example, re.compile("\d+\.\d+") now emits a SyntaxWarning ("\d" is an
invalid escape sequence), use raw strings for regular expression:
re.compile(r"\d+\.\d+"). In a future Python version, SyntaxError will
eventually be raised, instead of SyntaxWarning.
Octal escapes with value larger than 0o377 (ex: "\477"), deprecated
in Python 3.11, now produce a SyntaxWarning, instead of
DeprecationWarning. In a future Python version they will be
eventually a SyntaxError.
codecs.escape_decode() and codecs.unicode_escape_decode() are left
unchanged: they still emit DeprecationWarning.
* The parser only emits SyntaxWarning for Python 3.12 (feature
version), and still emits DeprecationWarning on older Python
versions.
* Fix SyntaxWarning by using raw strings in Tools/c-analyzer/ and
wasm_build.py.
This got introduced in commit 5884449539
to determine if readline is already linked against curses or tinfo in
the setup.py, which is no longer present.
The switch cases (really TARGET(opcode) macros) have been moved from ceval.c to generated_cases.c.h. That file is generated from instruction definitions in bytecodes.c (which impersonates a C file so the C code it contains can be edited without custom support in e.g. VS Code).
The code generator lives in Tools/cases_generator (it has a README.md explaining how it works). The DSL used to describe the instructions is a work in progress, described in https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/blob/main/3.12/interpreter_definition.md.
This is surely a work-in-progress. An easy next step could be auto-generating super-instructions.
**IMPORTANT: Merge Conflicts**
If you get a merge conflict for instruction implementations in ceval.c, your best bet is to port your changes to bytecodes.c. That file looks almost the same as the original cases, except instead of `TARGET(NAME)` it uses `inst(NAME)`, and the trailing `DISPATCH()` call is omitted (the code generator adds it automatically).
Add Python implementations of certain longobject.c functions. These use
asymptotically faster algorithms that can be used for operations on
integers with many digits. In those cases, the performance overhead of
the Python implementation is not significant since the asymptotic
behavior is what dominates runtime. Functions provided by this module
should be considered private and not part of any public API.

The "pyperf command" tool be used instead. Example:
$ python3 -m pyperf command -- python3 -c pass
.....................
command: Mean +- std dev: 17.8 ms +- 0.4 ms
pyperf also computes the standard deviation which gives an idea of
the benchmark looks reliable or not.
Remove outdated example scripts of the Tools/scripts/ directory:
* gprof2html.py
* md5sum.py
* nm2def.py
* pathfix.py
* win_add2path.py
Remove test_gprof2html, test_md5sum and test_pathfix of test_tools.
Remove diff.py and ndiff.py scripts of Tools/scripts/: move them to
Doc/includes/.
* diff.py and ndiff.py files are no longer executable. Remove also
their shebang ("#!/usr/bin/env python3").
* Remove the -profile command from ndiff.py to simply the code.
* Remove ndiff.py copyright and history command. The Python
documentation examples are distributed under the "Zero Clause BSD
License".
Relevant tests moved from test_exceptions to test_traceback to be able to
compare both implementations.

Remove the sys.getdxp() function and the Tools/scripts/analyze_dxp.py
script. DXP stands for "dynamic execution pairs". They were related
to DYNAMIC_EXECUTION_PROFILE and DXPAIRS macros which have been
removed in Python 3.11. Python can now be built with "./configure
--enable-pystats" to gather statistics on Python opcodes.
Remove the Tools/demo/ directory which contained old demo scripts. A
copy can be found in the old-demos project:
https://github.com/gvanrossum/old-demos
Remove the following old demo scripts:
* beer.py
* eiffel.py
* hanoi.py
* life.py
* markov.py
* mcast.py
* queens.py
* redemo.py
* rpython.py
* rpythond.py
* sortvisu.py
* spreadsheet.py
* vector.py
Changes:
* Remove a reference to the redemo.py script in the regex howto
documentation.
* Remove a reference to the removed Tools/demo/ directory in the
curses documentation.
* Update PC/layout/ to remove the reference to Tools/demo/ directory.
Fix a shell code injection vulnerability in the
get-remote-certificate.py example script. The script no longer uses a
shell to run "openssl" commands. Issue reported and initial fix by
Caleb Shortt.
Remove the Windows code path to send "quit" on stdin to the "openssl
s_client" command: use DEVNULL on all platforms instead.

- pre-build Emscripten ports and system libraries
- check for broken EMSDK versions
- use EMSDK's node for wasm32-emscripten
- warn when PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set
- add support level information
Here we automatically ignore uses of _PyArg_Parser, "kwlist" arrays, and module/type defs. That way new uses don't trigger false positives in the c-analyzer check script.
- support EMSDK tot-upstream and git releases
- allow WASM assents for wasm64-emscripten and WASI. This makes single file distributions on WASI easier.
- decouple WASM assets from browser builds
We broke it with a recent `_PyArg_Parser` change.
Also:
* moved the `_PyArg_Parser` whitelist entries over to ignored.tsv now that they are thread-safe
* added some known globals from a currently-excluded file
* dropped some outdated globals from the whitelist
