Capturing exceptions into names can lead to reference cycles though the __traceback__ attribute of the exceptions in some obscure cases that have been reported previously and fixed individually. As these variables are not used anyway, we can remove the binding to reduce the chances of creating reference cycles.
See for example GH-13135
Deprecated passing the following arguments as keyword arguments:
- "func" in functools.partialmethod(), weakref.finalize(),
profile.Profile.runcall(), cProfile.Profile.runcall(),
bdb.Bdb.runcall(), trace.Trace.runfunc() and
curses.wrapper().
- "function" in unittest.addModuleCleanup() and
unittest.TestCase.addCleanup().
- "fn" in the submit() method of concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor
and concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor.
- "callback" in contextlib.ExitStack.callback(),
contextlib.AsyncExitStack.callback() and
contextlib.AsyncExitStack.push_async_callback().
- "c" and "typeid" in the create() method of multiprocessing.managers.Server
and multiprocessing.managers.SharedMemoryServer.
- "obj" in weakref.finalize().
Also allowed to pass arbitrary keyword arguments (even "self" and "func")
if the above arguments are passed as positional argument.

* Initial set of docs for shared_memory module.
* Added docs for ShareableList, added doctree entry for shared_memory submodule, name refactoring for greater clarity.
* Added examples to SharedMemoryManager docs, for ease of documentation switched away from exclusively registered functions to some explicit methods on SharedMemoryManager.
* Wording tweaks to docs.
* Fix test failures on Windows.
* Added tests around SharedMemoryManager.
* Documentation tweaks.
* Fix inappropriate test on Windows.
* Further documentation tweaks.
* Fix bare exception.
* Removed __copyright__.
* Fixed typo in doc, removed comment.
* Updated SharedMemoryManager preliminary tests to reflect change of not supporting all registered functions on SyncManager.
* Added Sphinx doctest run controls.
* CloseHandle should be in a finally block in case MapViewOfFile fails.
* Missed opportunity to use with statement.
* Switch to self.addCleanup to spare long try/finally blocks and save one indentation, change to use decorator to skip test instead.
* Simplify the posixshmem extension module.
Provide shm_open() and shm_unlink() functions. Move other
functionality into the shared_memory.py module.
* Added to doc around size parameter of SharedMemory.
* Changed PosixSharedMemory.size to use os.fstat.
* Change SharedMemory.buf to a read-only property as well as NamedSharedMemory.size.
* Marked as provisional per PEP411 in docstring.
* Changed SharedMemoryTracker to be private.
* Removed registered Proxy Objects from SharedMemoryManager.
* Removed shareable_wrap().
* Removed shareable_wrap() and dangling references to it.
* For consistency added __reduce__ to key classes.
* Fix for potential race condition on Windows for O_CREX.
* Remove unused imports.
* Update access to kernel32 on Windows per feedback from eryksun.
* Moved kernel32 calls to _winapi.
* Removed ShareableList.copy as redundant.
* Changes to _winapi use from eryksun feedback.
* Adopt simpler SharedMemory API, collapsing PosixSharedMemory and WindowsNamedSharedMemory into one.
* Fix missing docstring on class, add test for ignoring size when attaching.
* Moved SharedMemoryManager to managers module, tweak to fragile test.
* Tweak to exception in OpenFileMapping suggested by eryksun.
* Mark a few dangling bits as private as suggested by Giampaolo.
* Make error message more informative
Replace assertions in error-reporting code with more-informative version that doesn't cause confusion over where and what the error is.
* Additional clarification + get travis to check
* Change from SystemError to TypeError
As suggested in PR comment by @pitrou, changing from SystemError; TypeError appears appropriate.
* NEWS file installation; ACKS addition (will do my best to justify it by additional work)
* Making current AssertionErrors in multiprocessing more informative
* Blurb added re multiprocessing managers.py, queues.py cleanup
* Further multiprocessing cleanup - went through pool.py
* Fix two asserts in multiprocessing/util.py
* Most asserts in multiprocessing more informative
* Didn't save right version
* Further work on multiprocessing error messages
* Correct typo
* Correct typo v2
* Blasted colon... serves me right for trying to work on two things at once
* Simplify NEWS entry
* Update 2017-08-18-17-16-38.bpo-5001.gwnthq.rst
* Update 2017-08-18-17-16-38.bpo-5001.gwnthq.rst
OK, never mind.
* Corrected (thanks to pitrou) error messages for notify
* Remove extraneous backslash in docstring.

frombytes() and tobytes(), respectively, to avoid confusion. Furthermore,
array.frombytes(), array.extend() as well as the array.array()
constructor now accept bytearray objects. Patch by Thomas Jollans.
