Would be nice to backport to python 3.7+. I don't think it's worth the hassle to backport this all the way down to 3.10. But I'll let the maintainers decide.
This is hard to test because the test setup already includes this [environment variable](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/test/pythoninfo.py#L292)
Let me know if something doesn't match the PR guidelines. This is my first PR in the python source code.
Regression introduced in e3ce695 and 25b804a, where the old parameter
update_tryorder to _synthesize was first ignored, then given the opposite
value in the attempt to fix bpo-31014.
The Opera Browser was using a outdated command line invocation that resulted in an incorrect URL being opened in the browser when requested using the webbrowser module.
* Correct the arguments passed to the Opera Browser when opening a new URL.
When checking for the default X web browser, xdg-settings
may emit messages on stderr if some components (such as
kreadconfig5) are unavailable. These messages aren't of
interest to Python, so we just ignore them.
- Add 'preferred' argument to webbrowser.register
- Use xdg-settings to specify preferred X browser
The first change replaces the existing undocumented tri-state
'try_order' parameter with the documented boolean keyword-only
'preferred' parameter. Setting it to True places the browser at the
front of the list, preferring it as the return to a subsequent get() call.
The second change adds a private `_os_preferred_browser` setting
and then uses that to make the default browser reported by
`xdg-settings` first in the try list when running under X (or
another environment that sets the `DISPLAY` variable).
This avoids the problem where the first entry in the tryorder
queue otherwise defaults to xdg-open, which doesn't support
the "new window" option.
requires them. Disable executable bits and shebang lines in test and
benchmark files in order to prevent using a random system python, and in
source files of modules which don't provide command line interface. Fixed
shebang lines in the unittestgui and checkpip scripts.

This eliminates a ResourceWarning, since before webbrowser was
explicitly opening os.devnull and then leaving it open. Tests
to follow.

This shows up as a bug in 3.3 because the definition for Chrome
produces such an empty string. Tests will follow.

backporting the new test suite is more trouble than it is worth.

Many calls to tk.call involve an arglist containing a single tuple.
Calls using METH_OLDARGS unpack this tuple; calls using METH_VARARG
don't. Tcl's concatenation of args was affected; IDLE doesn't start.
Modify Tkapp_Call() to unpack single tuple arglists.

Dict comprehensions. Still needs doc changes (like many python-3000 features
;-). It generates bytecode similar to:
x = {}
for k, v in (generator here):
x[k] = v
except there is no tuple-packing and -unpacking involved. Trivial
measurement suggests it's significantly faster than dict(generator here) (in
the order of 2 to 3 times as fast) but I have not done extensive
measurements.
