In free-threaded builds, running with `PYTHON_GIL=0` will now disable the
GIL. Follow-up issues track work to re-enable the GIL when loading an
incompatible extension, and to disable the GIL by default.
In order to support re-enabling the GIL at runtime, all GIL-related data
structures are initialized as usual, and disabling the GIL simply sets a flag
that causes `take_gil()` and `drop_gil()` to return early.
pycore_create_interpreter() now returns a status, rather than
calling Py_FatalError().
* PyInterpreterState_New() now calls Py_ExitStatusException() instead
of calling Py_FatalError() directly.
* Replace Py_FatalError() with PyStatus in init_interpreter() and
_PyObject_InitState().
* _PyErr_SetFromPyStatus() now raises RuntimeError, instead of
ValueError. It can now call PyErr_NoMemory(), raise MemoryError,
if it detects _PyStatus_NO_MEMORY() error message.
Remove _PyErr_ChainExceptions(), _PyErr_ChainExceptions1() and
_PyErr_SetFromPyStatus() functions from the public C API.
* Move the private _PyErr_ChainExceptions() and
_PyErr_ChainExceptions1() function to the internal C API
(pycore_pyerrors.h).
* Move the private _PyErr_SetFromPyStatus() to the internal C API
(pycore_initconfig.h).
* No longer export the _PyErr_ChainExceptions() function.
* Move run_in_subinterp_with_config() from _testcapi to
_testinternalcapi.
No longer export _PyCompile_AstOptimize() internal C API function.
Change comment style to "// comment" and add comment explaining why
other functions have to be exported.
No longer export these 2 internal C API functions:
* _PyEval_SignalAsyncExc()
* _PyEval_SignalReceived()
Add also comments explaining why some internal functions have to be
exported, and update existing comments.
Prior to this change, errors in _Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig() were always fatal. Instead, callers should be able to handle such errors and keep going. That's what this change supports. (This was an oversight in the original implementation of _Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig().) Note that the existing [fatal] behavior of the public Py_NewInterpreter() is preserved.

It had to live as a global outside of PyConfig for stable ABI reasons in
the pre-3.12 backports.
This removes the `_Py_global_config_int_max_str_digits` and gets rid of
the equivalent field in the internal `struct _is PyInterpreterState` as
code can just use the existing nested config struct within that.
Adds tests to verify unique settings and configs in subinterpreters.
Integer to and from text conversions via CPython's bignum `int` type is not safe against denial of service attacks due to malicious input. Very large input strings with hundred thousands of digits can consume several CPU seconds.

I wrote up [a one pager for the release managers](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KjuF_aXlzPUxTK4BMgezGJ2Pn7uevfX7g0_mvgHlL7Y/edit#). Much of that text wound up in the Issue. Backports PRs already exist. See the issue for links.
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.
Currently we freeze several modules into the runtime. For each of these modules it is essential to bootstrapping the runtime that they be frozen. Any other stdlib module that we later freeze into the runtime is not essential. We can just as well import from the .py file. This PR lets users explicitly choose which should be used, with the new "-X frozen_modules=[on|off]" CLI flag. The default is "off" for now.
https://bugs.python.org/issue45020
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
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 path configuration is now computed in the "main" initialization.
The core initialization no longer computes it.
* Add _PyConfig_Read() function to read the configuration without
computing the path configuration.
* pyinit_core() no longer computes the path configuration: it is now
computed by init_interp_main().
* The path configuration output members of PyConfig are now optional:
* executable
* base_executable
* prefix
* base_prefix
* exec_prefix
* base_exec_prefix
* _PySys_UpdateConfig() now skips NULL strings in PyConfig.
* _testembed: Rename test_set_config() to test_init_set_config() for
consistency with other tests.
* 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.
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().
For now, we'll rely on the fact that the config structures aren't covered by the stable ABI.
We may revisit this in the future if we further explore the idea of offering a stable embedding API.
(cherry picked from commit bdace21b76)
Fix warnings options priority: PyConfig.warnoptions has the highest
priority, as stated in the PEP 587.
* Document options order in PyConfig.warnoptions documentation.
* Make PyWideStringList_INIT macro private: replace "Py" prefix
with "_Py".
* test_embed: add test_init_warnoptions().
Add a new struct_size field to PyPreConfig and PyConfig structures to
allow to modify these structures in the future without breaking the
backward compatibility.
* Replace private _config_version field with public struct_size field
in PyPreConfig and PyConfig.
* Public PyPreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig() and
PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
return type becomes PyStatus, instead of void.
* Internal _PyConfig_InitCompatConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitCompatConfig(), _PyPreConfig_InitFromConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitFromPreConfig() return type becomes PyStatus,
instead of void.
* Remove _Py_CONFIG_VERSION
* Update the Initialization Configuration documentation.
The DLL path is not computed from any user configuration and cannot
be configured by PyConfig. Instead, add a new _Py_dll_path global variable.
Remove _PyConfig_SetPathConfig(): replaced with _PyPathConfig_Init().
Py_Initialize() now longer sets the "global path configuration",
but only initialize _Py_dll_path.
