This will address the common mistake many asyncio users make:
an "except Exception" clause breaking Tasks cancellation.
In addition to this change, we stop inheriting asyncio.TimeoutError
and asyncio.InvalidStateError from their concurrent.futures.*
counterparts. There's no point for these exceptions to share the
inheritance chain.
In 3.9 we'll focus on implementing supervisors and cancel scopes,
which should allow better handling of all exceptions, including
SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt
* sys.unraisablehook: add 'err_msg' field to UnraisableHookArgs.
* Use _PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg() in _ctypes _DictRemover_call()
and gc delete_garbage().
* No type cache for types with specialized mro, invalidation is hard.
* FIX: Don't disable method cache custom types that do not implement mro().
* fixing implem.
* Avoid storing error flags, also decref.
* news entry
* Clear as soon as we're getting an error.
* FIX: Reference leak.
The implementation is straightforward, it just mimics `ClassVar` (since the latter is also a name/access qualifier, not really a type). Also it is essentially copied from `typing_extensions`.
Update PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs and _PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs
to use _PyObject_GetMethod to avoid creating a bound method object
in many cases.
On a microbenchmark of PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs calling a method on
an interpreted Python class, this optimization resulted in a 1.7x
speedup.
* 📝 Add a GitHub-specific security page
It will show up @
https://github.com/python/cpython/security/policy
allowing to navigate users who get there from "Security" tab in the
GitHub repo to the full article explaining the security vulnerability
reporting practices.

It is also possible to link against a library or executable with a
statically linked libpython, but not both with the same DLL. In fact
building a statically linked python is currently broken on Cygwin
for other (related) reasons.
The same problem applies to other POSIX-like layers over Windows
(MinGW, MSYS) but Python's build system does not seem to attempt
to support those platforms at the moment.
PyOS_AfterFork_Child(): _PyInterpreterState_DeleteExceptMain() must
be called after _PyRuntimeState_ReInitThreads().
_PyRuntimeState_ReInitThreads() resets interpreters mutex after fork,
mutex used by _PyInterpreterState_DeleteExceptMain().
Remove main_thread and main_interp variables from signalmodule.c:
reuse _PyRuntime which already track the main thread and the main
interpreter.
* Remove #include <sys/types.h> which became useless: getpid() call
has been removed.
* Add runtime argument to is_main()
* is_main() now gets the interpreter from runtime.
Previously, it was hard to tell whether a function should be awaited. It was also incorrect (per PEP 484) to put this in the type hint for coroutine functions. Added this info to the output of builtins.help and pydoc.

bpo-34626: Document creating heap types from the C-API
Add missing descriptions of PEP384's PyType_Spec and PyType_Slot,
along with some introductory prose.
* _PyPreConfig_InitCompatConfig() sets utf8_mode to 0.
* Change Py_UTF8Mode default value to 0.
* Fix _PyPreConfig_Copy(): copy also _config_init attrbibute.
* _PyPreConfig_AsDict() exports _config_init
* Fix _PyPreConfig_GetGlobalConfig(): use Py_UTF8Mode if it's greater
than 0, even if utf8_mode >= 0.
* Add unit tests on environment variables using Python API.
In development (-X dev) mode and in a debug build, IOBase finalizer
of the _pyio module now logs the exception if the close() method
fails. The exception is ignored silently by default in release build.
test_io: test_error_through_destructor() now uses
support.catch_unraisable_exception() rather than capturing stderr.
To embed Python into an application, a new --embed option must be
passed to "python3-config --libs --embed" to get "-lpython3.8" (link
the application to libpython). To support both 3.8 and older, try
"python3-config --libs --embed" first and fallback to "python3-config
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails.
Add a pkg-config "python-3.8-embed" module to embed Python into an
application: "pkg-config python-3.8-embed --libs" includes
"-lpython3.8". To support both 3.8 and older, try "pkg-config
python-X.Y-embed --libs" first and fallback to "pkg-config python-X.Y
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails (replace
"X.Y" with the Python version).
On the other hand, "pkg-config python3.8 --libs" no longer contains
"-lpython3.8". C extensions must not be linked to libpython (except
on Android, case handled by the script); this change is backward
incompatible on purpose.
"make install" now also installs "python-3.8-embed.pc".
