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.
There are a bunch of other fd: int uses in this file, I expect many if not
all of them would be better off using the fildes converter. This particular
one was flagged by Coverity as it presumably flags fpathconf as not accepting
negative fds. I'd expect the other fd's to have been flagged as well
otherwise.
I'm marking this one as skip news as it really is a no-op.
Previously, the result could have been an instance of a subclass of int.
Also revert bpo-26202 and make attributes start, stop and step of the range
object having exact type int.
Add private function _PyNumber_Index() which preserves the old behavior
of PyNumber_Index() for performance to use it in the conversion functions
like PyLong_AsLong().
Pass PEP 573 defining_class to os.DirEntry methods. The module state
is now retrieve from defining_class rather than Py_TYPE(self), to
support subclasses (even if DirEntry doesn't support subclasses yet).
* Pass the module rather than defining_class to DirEntry_fetch_stat().
* Only get the module state once in _posix_clear(),
_posix_traverse() and _posixmodule_exec().
Convert posixmodule.c ("posix" or "nt" module) to the multiphase
initialization (PEP 489).
* Create the module using PyModuleDef_Init().
* Create ScandirIteratorType and DirEntryType with the new
PyType_FromModuleAndSpec() (PEP 573)
* Get the module state from ScandirIteratorType and DirEntryType with
the new PyType_GetModule() (PEP 573)
* Pass module to functions which access the module state.
* convert_sched_param() gets a new module parameter. It is now called
directly since Argument Clinic doesn't support passing the module
to an argument converter callback.
* Remove _posixstate_global macro.
Fix the Windows implementation of os.waitpid() for exit code
larger than "INT_MAX >> 8". The exit status is now interpreted as an
unsigned number.
os.waitstatus_to_exitcode() now accepts wait status larger than
INT_MAX.
Add os.waitstatus_to_exitcode() function to convert a wait status to an
exitcode.
Suggest waitstatus_to_exitcode() usage in the documentation when
appropriate.
Use waitstatus_to_exitcode() in:
* multiprocessing, os, subprocess and _bootsubprocess modules;
* test.support.wait_process();
* setup.py: run_command();
* and many tests.
The os.putenv() and os.unsetenv() functions are now always available.
On non-Windows platforms, Python now requires setenv() and unsetenv()
functions to build.
Remove putenv_dict from posixmodule.c: it's not longer needed.
If setenv() C function is available, os.putenv() is now implemented
with setenv() instead of putenv(), so Python doesn't have to handle
the environment variable memory.
After #9665, this moves the remaining types in posixmodule to be heap-allocated to make it compatible with PEP384 as well as modifying all the type accessors to fully make the type opaque.
The original PR that got messed up a rebase: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/10854. All the issues in that commit have now been addressed since https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/11661 got committed.
This change also removes any state from the data segment and onto the module state itself.

In ArgumentClinic, value "NULL" should now be used only for unrepresentable default values
(like in the optional third parameter of getattr). "None" should be used if None is accepted
as argument and passing None has the same effect as not passing the argument at all.
bpo-37834: Normalise handling of reparse points on Windows
* ntpath.realpath() and nt.stat() will traverse all supported reparse points (previously was mixed)
* nt.lstat() will let the OS traverse reparse points that are not name surrogates (previously would not traverse any reparse point)
* nt.[l]stat() will only set S_IFLNK for symlinks (previous behaviour)
* nt.readlink() will read destinations for symlinks and junction points only
bpo-1311: os.path.exists('nul') now returns True on Windows
* nt.stat('nul').st_mode is now S_IFCHR (previously was an error)
* bpo-26836: Add os.memfd_create()
* Use the glibc wrapper for memfd_create()
Co-Authored-By: Christian Heimes <christian@python.org>
* Fix deletions caused by autoreconf.
* Use MFD_CLOEXEC as the default value for *flags*.
* Add memset_s to configure.ac.
* Revert memset_s changes.
* Apply the requested changes.
* Tweak the docs.
Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS in Argument Clinic generated code.
Some methods in the os module can accept path-like objects. This is documented in the general documentation but not in the function docstrings. To keep both in sync, the docstrings need to be updated to reflect that path-like objects are also accepted.
Such functions as os.path.exists(), os.path.lexists(), os.path.isdir(),
os.path.isfile(), os.path.islink(), and os.path.ismount() now return False
instead of raising ValueError or its subclasses UnicodeEncodeError
and UnicodeDecodeError for paths that contain characters or bytes
unrepresentative at the OS level.
