* nail down a couple examples to have more predictable output
* update a number of things, but this is really just a stash...
* added an applications section to describe typical uses for native and machine-independent formats
* make sure all format strings use a format prefix character
* responding to comments from @gpshead. Not likely finished yet.
* This got more involved than I expected...
* respond to several PR comments
* a lot of wordsmithing
* try and be more consistent in use of ``x`` vs ``'x'``
* expand examples a bit
* update the "see also" to be more up-to-date
* original examples relied on import * so present all examples as if
* reformat based on @gpshead comment (missed before)
* responding to comments
* missed this
* one more suggested edit
* wordsmithing
Replace "Py_XDECREF(var); var = NULL;" with "Py_CLEAR(var);".
Don't replace "Py_DECREF(var); var = NULL;" with "Py_CLEAR(var);". It
would add an useless "if (var)" test in code path where var cannot be
NULL.
Fix potential race condition in code patterns:
* Replace "Py_DECREF(var); var = new;" with "Py_SETREF(var, new);"
* Replace "Py_XDECREF(var); var = new;" with "Py_XSETREF(var, new);"
* Replace "Py_CLEAR(var); var = new;" with "Py_XSETREF(var, new);"
Other changes:
* Replace "old = var; var = new; Py_DECREF(var)"
with "Py_SETREF(var, new);"
* Replace "old = var; var = new; Py_XDECREF(var)"
with "Py_XSETREF(var, new);"
* And remove the "old" variable.

On some platforms, and in particular macOS/arm64, the calling
convention for variadic arguments is different from the regular
calling convention. Add a section to the documentation to document
this.
The ``structmember.h`` header is deprecated, though it continues to be available
and there are no plans to remove it. There are no deprecation warnings. Old code
can stay unchanged (unless the extra include and non-namespaced macros bother
you greatly). Specifically, no uses in CPython are updated -- that would just be
unnecessary churn.
The ``structmember.h`` header is deprecated, though it continues to be
available and there are no plans to remove it.
Its contents are now available just by including ``Python.h``,
with a ``Py`` prefix added if it was missing:
- `PyMemberDef`, `PyMember_GetOne` and`PyMember_SetOne`
- Type macros like `Py_T_INT`, `Py_T_DOUBLE`, etc.
(previously ``T_INT``, ``T_DOUBLE``, etc.)
- The flags `Py_READONLY` (previously ``READONLY``) and
`Py_AUDIT_READ` (previously all uppercase)
Several items are not exposed from ``Python.h``:
- `T_OBJECT` (use `Py_T_OBJECT_EX`)
- `T_NONE` (previously undocumented, and pretty quirky)
- The macro ``WRITE_RESTRICTED`` which does nothing.
- The macros ``RESTRICTED`` and ``READ_RESTRICTED``, equivalents of
`Py_AUDIT_READ`.
- In some configurations, ``<stddef.h>`` is not included from ``Python.h``.
It should be included manually when using ``offsetof()``.
The deprecated header continues to provide its original
contents under the original names.
Your old code can stay unchanged, unless the extra include and non-namespaced
macros bother you greatly.
There is discussion on the issue to rename `T_PYSSIZET` to `PY_T_SSIZE` or
similar. I chose not to do that -- users will probably copy/paste that with any
spelling, and not renaming it makes migration docs simpler.

The tests in question were added in 0eec6276fd by Serhiy. Apparently,
sqlite3 changed exceptions raised in those cases in the mean time but
the tests never ran because they require a high `-M` setting in the
test runner.
os.remove can raise PermissionError instead of IsADirectoryError,
when the object to be removed is a directory (in particular on
macOS).
This reverts a change done in #14262.
Fix a number of compile errors with GCC-12 on macOS:
1. In pylifecycle.c the compile rejects _Pragma within a declaration
2. posixmodule.c was missing a number of ..._RUNTIME macros for non-clang on macOS
3. _ctypes assumed that __builtin_available is always present on macOS
Describe the multiprocessing connection protocol.
It isn't a good protocol, but it is what it is. This way we can more
easily reason about making changes to it in a backwards compatible way.
# DOC: Improvements in library/stdtypes
This PR does the following:
1. Replaces :meth: by :func: around repr function
2. Adds links to Unicode Standard site
3. Makes explicit "when" you can call the `iskeyword` function. The previous text could cause confusion to readers, especially those with English as a second language. The reader could understand that the `isidentifier` method calls the `iskeyword` function. Now, it is explicit that the dev can do it.
4. Replaces a URL with an inline link.

This is part of the effort to consolidate global variables, to make them easier to manage (and make it easier to later move some of them to PyInterpreterState).
