Split test_multiprocessing_fork, test_multiprocessing_forkserver and
test_multiprocessing_spawn into test packages. Each package is made
of 4 sub-tests: processes, threads, manager and misc. It allows
running more tests in parallel and so reduce the total test duration.
Currently, test_asyncio package is only splitted into sub-tests when
using command "./python -m test". With this change, it's also
splitted when passing it on the command line:
"./python -m test test_asyncio".
Remove the concept of "STDTESTS". Python is now mature enough to not
have to bother with that anymore. Removing STDTESTS simplify the
code.
When running the Python test suite with -jN option, if a worker stdout
cannot be decoded from the locale encoding report a failed testn so the
exitcode is non-zero.
Display the sanitizers present in libregrtest.
Having this in the CI output for tests with the relevant environment
variable displayed will help make it easier to do what we need to
create an equivalent local test run.
These are stubs to be used for adding hypothesis (https://hypothesis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) tests to the standard library.
When the tests are run in an environment where `hypothesis` and its various dependencies are not installed, the stubs will turn any tests with examples into simple parameterized tests and any tests without examples are skipped.
It also adds hypothesis tests for the `zoneinfo` module, and a Github Actions workflow to run the hypothesis tests as a non-required CI job.
The full hypothesis interface is not stubbed out — missing stubs can be added as necessary.

This runs test_asyncio sub-tests in parallel using sharding from Cinder. This suite is typically the longest-pole in runs because it is a test package with a lot of further sub-tests otherwise run serially. By breaking out the sub-tests as independent modules we can run a lot more in parallel.
After porting we can see the direct impact on a multicore system.
Without this change:
Running make test is 5 min 26 seconds
With this change:
Running make test takes 3 min 39 seconds
That'll vary based on system and parallelism. On a `-j 4` run similar to what CI and buildbot systems often do, it reduced the overall test suite completion latency by 10%.
The drawbacks are that this implementation is hacky and due to the sorting of the tests it obscures when the asyncio tests occur and involves changing CPython test infrastructure but, the wall time saved it is worth it, especially in low-core count CI runs as it pulls a long tail. The win for productivity and reserved CI resource usage is significant.
Future tests that deserve to be refactored into split up suites to benefit from are test_concurrent_futures and the way the _test_multiprocessing suite gets run for all start methods. As exposed by passing the -o flag to python -m test to get a list of the 10 longest running tests.

This is the implementation of PEP683
Motivation:
The PR introduces the ability to immortalize instances in CPython which bypasses reference counting. Tagging objects as immortal allows up to skip certain operations when we know that the object will be around for the entire execution of the runtime.
Note that this by itself will bring a performance regression to the runtime due to the extra reference count checks. However, this brings the ability of having truly immutable objects that are useful in other contexts such as immutable data sharing between sub-interpreters.
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
The Python test suite now fails wit exit code 4 if no tests ran. It
should help detecting typos in test names and test methods.
* Add "EXITCODE_" constants to Lib/test/libregrtest/main.py.
* Fix a typo: "NO TEST RUN" becomes "NO TESTS RAN"
On Windows, when the Python test suite is run with the -jN option,
the ANSI code page is now used as the encoding for the stdout
temporary file, rather than using UTF-8 which can lead to decoding
errors.
- Emscripten's default umask is too strict, see
https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/17269
- getuid/getgid and geteuid/getegid are stubs that always return 0
(root). Disable effective uid/gid syscalls and fix tests that use
chmod() current user.
- Cannot drop X bit from directory.
regrtest now also implements checking for leaked temporary files and
directories when using -jN for N >= 2. Use tempfile.mkdtemp() to
create the temporary directory. Skip this check on WASI.
When running tests with -jN, create a temporary directory per process
and mark a test as "environment changed" if a test leaks a temporary
file or directory.
Replace the child process `typeperf.exe` with a daemon thread that reads the performance counters directly. This prevents the issues that arise from inherited handles in grandchild processes (see issue37531 for discussion).
We only use the load tracker when running tests in multiprocess mode. This prevents inadvertent interactions with tests expecting a single threaded environment. Displaying load is really only helpful for buildbots running in multiprocess mode anyway.
Remove the asyncore and asynchat modules, deprecated in Python
3.6: use the asyncio module instead.
Remove the smtpd module, deprecated in Python 3.6: the aiosmtpd
module can be used instead, it is based on asyncio.
* Remove asyncore, asynchat and smtpd documentation
* Remove test_asyncore, test_asynchat and test_smtpd
* Rename Lib/asynchat.py to Lib/test/support/_asynchat.py
* Rename Lib/asyncore.py to Lib/test/support/_asyncore.py
* Rename Lib/smtpd.py to Lib/test/support/_smtpd.py
* Remove DeprecationWarning from private _asyncore, _asynchat and
_smtpd modules
* _smtpd: remove deprecated properties
Remove the --findleaks command line option of regrtest: use the
--fail-env-changed option instead. Since Python 3.7, it was a
deprecated alias to the --fail-env-changed option.
support.print_warning() now stores the original value of
sys.__stderr__ and uses it to log warnings. libregrtest uses the same
stream to log unraisable exceptions and uncaught threading
exceptions.
Partially revert commit dbe213de7ef28712bbfdb9d94a33abb9c33ef0c2:
libregrtest no longer replaces sys.__stdout__, sys.__stderr__, and
stdout and stderr file descriptors.
Remove also a few unused imports in libregrtest.
libregrtest -W/--verbose3 now also replace sys.__stdout__,
sys.__stderr__, and stdout and stderr file descriptors (fd 1 and fd
2).
support.print_warning() messages are now logged in the expected
order.
The "./python -m test test_eintr -W" command no longer logs into
stdout if the test pass.
When libregrtest spawns a worker process, stderr is now written into
stdout to keep messages order. Use a single pipe for stdout and
stderr, rather than two pipes. Previously, messages were out of order
which made analysis of buildbot logs harder
