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.
* bpo-42382: In importlib.metadata, `EntryPoint` objects now expose a `.dist` object referencing the `Distribution` when constructed from a `Distribution`.
Also, sync importlib_metadata 3.3:
- Add support for package discovery under package normalization rules.
- The object returned by `metadata()` now has a formally-defined protocol called `PackageMetadata` with declared support for the `.get_all()` method.
* Add blurb
* Remove latent footnote.
Added --disable-test-modules option to the configure script:
don't build nor install test modules.

The descriptions of the `codes` and `messages` dictionaries in
`xml.parsers.expat.errors` were swapped, and this commit swaps them
back. For example, `codes` maps string descriptions of errors to numeric
error codes, not the other way around.
When the modern text= spelling of the universal_newlines= parameter was added
for Python 3.7, check_output's special case around input=None was overlooked.
So it behaved differently with universal_newlines=True vs text=True. This
reconciles the behavior to be consistent and adds a test to guarantee it.
Also clarifies the existing check_output documentation.

In Python 2, it was possible to use `except` with a nested tuple, and occasionally natural. For example, `zope.formlib.interfaces.InputErrors` is a tuple of several exception classes, and one might reasonably think to do something like this:
try:
self.getInputValue()
return True
except (InputErrors, SomethingElse):
return False
As of Python 3.0, this raises `TypeError: catching classes that do not inherit from BaseException is not allowed` instead: one must instead either break it up into multiple `except` clauses or flatten the tuple. However, the reference documentation was never updated to match this new restriction. Make it clear that the definition is no longer recursive.

zipimport's _unmarshal_code swallows import errors and then _get_module_code doesn't know the cause of the error, and returns the generic, and sometimes incorrect, 'could not find...'.

Up until now, the `multiprocessing.pool.ThreadPool` class has gone
undocumented, despite being a public class in multiprocessing that is
included in `multiprocessing.pool.__all__`.
The issue being resolved is shown in the 3.10 docs (if you select docs for older versions you won't see a visual glitch).
The newer sphinx version that produces the 3.10 docs doesn't treat the backslash to escape things in some situations it previously did.
* Update errors.rst
Clarify exception chaining behaviour and give a reference to the library documentation.
* Update errors.rst

* Update errors.rst
Remove mentioning of special attributes as folks think it's too much for beginners.
At Python exit, if a callback registered with atexit.register()
fails, its exception is now logged. Previously, only some exceptions
were logged, and the last exception was always silently ignored.
Add _PyAtExit_Call() function and remove
PyInterpreterState.atexit_func member. call_py_exitfuncs() now calls
directly _PyAtExit_Call().
The atexit module must now always be built as a built-in module.
The default for auto() is to return an integer, which doesn't work for `StrEnum`. The new `_generate_next_value_` for `StrEnum` returns the member name, lower cased.
This is a follow-up to
4662fa9bfe.
That original commit expanded guards against misspelling assertions on
mocks. This follow-up updates the documentation and improves the error
message by pointing out the potential cause and solution.

The solution in gh#python/cpython#13236 is too strict because it
effectively requires the use of Sphinx >= 2.0. It is not too difficult to
make the same solution more robust so it works with all normal versions
of Sphinx.

* Drop the 'E' from Scientific 'E' notation; remove >= 0 qualifications
* Fix false statement that the alternate form is valid for Decimal
* Nitpick: remove the Harvard/Oxford comma

Reduce memory footprint and improve performance of loading modules having many func annotations.
>>> sys.getsizeof({"a":"int","b":"int","return":"int"})
232
>>> sys.getsizeof(("a","int","b","int","return","int"))
88
The tuple is converted into dict on the fly when `func.__annotations__` is accessed first.

It probably helped a lot a while back, but may not be as usefull
today. We'll continue monitoring it before deletion, so true
positives can be migrated to rstlint.
This commit also fixes up some of the overlapping documentation changed
in bpo-35498, which added support for indexing with slices.
Fixes bpo-21041.

* 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.
Added slice support to the `pathlib.Path.parents` sequence. For a `Path` `p`, slices of `p.parents` should return the same thing as slices of `tuple(p.parents)`.
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;".
Remove the undocumented PyOS_InitInterrupts() C function.
* Rename PyOS_InitInterrupts() to _PySignal_Init(). It now installs
other signal handlers, not only SIGINT.
* Rename PyOS_FiniInterrupts() to _PySignal_Fini()
time.perf_counter() on Windows and time.monotonic() on macOS are now
system-wide. Previously, they used an offset computed at startup to
reduce the precision loss caused by the float type. Use
time.perf_counter_ns() and time.monotonic_ns() added in Python 3.7 to
avoid this precision loss.
Added a note in the `subprocess` docs that recommend using `shlex.quote` without mentioning that this is only applicable to Unix.
Also added a warning straight into the `shlex` docs since it only says "for simple syntaxes resembling that of the Unix shell" and says using `quote` plugs the security hole without mentioning this important caveat.
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 format_exception(), format_exception_only(), and
print_exception() functions can now take an exception object as a positional-only argument.

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.
This adds a new function named sys._current_exceptions() which is equivalent ot
sys._current_frames() except that it returns the exceptions currently handled
by other threads. It is equivalent to calling sys.exc_info() for each running
thread.
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.

Removed the unicodedata.ucnhash_CAPI attribute which was an internal

I am re-submitting an older PR which was abandoned but is still relevant, #10783 by @timb07.
The issue being solved () is still relevant. The original PR #10783 was closed as
the final request changes were not applied and since abandoned.
In this new PR I have re-used the original patch plus applied both comments from the review, by @maxking and @pganssle.
For reference, here is the original PR description:
In email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime(), a failure to parse the date, or invalid date components (such as hour outside 0..23) raises an exception. Document this behaviour, and add tests to test_email/test_utils.py to confirm this behaviour.
In email.headerregistry.DateHeader.parse(), check when parsedate_to_datetime() raises an exception and add a new defect InvalidDateDefect; preserve the invalid value as the string value of the header, but set the datetime attribute to None.
Add tests to test_email/test_headerregistry.py to confirm this behaviour; also added test to test_email/test_inversion.py to confirm emails with such defective date headers round trip successfully.
This pull request incorporates feedback gratefully received from @bitdancer, @brettcannon, @Mariatta and @warsaw, and replaces the earlier PR #2254.

* UCD_Check() uses PyModule_Check()
* Simplify the internal _PyUnicode_Name_CAPI structure:
* Remove size and state members
* Remove state and self parameters of getcode() and getname()
functions
* Remove global_module_state
The private _PyUnicode_Name_CAPI structure of the PyCapsule API
unicodedata.ucnhash_CAPI moves to the internal C API. Moreover, the
structure gets a new state member which must be passed to the
getcode() and getname() functions.
* Move Include/ucnhash.h to Include/internal/pycore_ucnhash.h
* unicodedata module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE.
* unicodedata: move hashAPI variable into unicodedata_module_state.
