Before python3.11, when in a venv the zip path is calculated
from prefix on POSIX platforms. In python3.11 the behavior is
accidentally changed to calculating from default prefix. This
change will break venv created from a non-installed python
with a stdlib zip file. This commit restores the behavior back
to before python3.11.
Improves the docstring on signal.strsignal to make it explain when it returns a message, None, or when it raises ValueError.

The Py_CLEAR(), Py_SETREF() and Py_XSETREF() macros now only evaluate
their argument once. If an argument has side effects, these side
effects are no longer duplicated.
Add test_py_clear() and test_py_setref() unit tests to _testcapi.
We do the following:
* move the generated _PyUnicode_InitStaticStrings() to its own file
* move the generated _PyStaticObjects_CheckRefcnt() to its own file
* include pycore_global_objects.h in extension modules instead of pycore_runtime_init.h
These changes help us avoid including things that aren't needed.

This makes it more clear that a given test is definitely testing against a single-phase init (legacy) extension module. The new module is a companion to _testmultiphase.
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/98627
Add PyFrame_GetVar() and PyFrame_GetVarString() functions to get a
frame variable by its name.
Move PyFrameObject C API tests from test_capi to test_frame.
Now that our int<->str conversions are size limited and we have the
_pylong module handling larger integers, we don't need to limit
everything just to avoid wasting time in the quadratic time DoS-like
case while fuzzing.
We can tweak these further after seeing how this goes.
In very rare circumstances the JUMP opcode could be confused with the
argument of the opcode in the "then" part which doesn't end with the
JUMP opcode. This led to incorrect detection of the final JUMP opcode
and incorrect calculation of the size of the subexpression.
NOTE: Changed return value of functions _validate_inner() and
_validate_charset() in Modules/_sre/sre.c. Now they return 0 on success,
-1 on failure, and 1 if the last op is JUMP (which usually is a failure).
Previously they returned 1 on success and 0 on failure.
Previously, the optional restrictions on subinterpreters were: disallow fork, subprocess, and threads. By default, we were disallowing all three for "isolated" interpreters. We always allowed all three for the main interpreter and those created through the legacy `Py_NewInterpreter()` API.
Those settings were a bit conservative, so here we've adjusted the optional restrictions to: fork, exec, threads, and daemon threads. The default for "isolated" interpreters disables fork, exec, and daemon threads. Regular threads are allowed by default. We continue always allowing everything For the main interpreter and the legacy API.
In the code, we add `_PyInterpreterConfig.allow_exec` and `_PyInterpreterConfig.allow_daemon_threads`. We also add `Py_RTFLAGS_DAEMON_THREADS` and `Py_RTFLAGS_EXEC`.
(see https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/98608)
This change does the following:
1. change the argument to a new `_PyInterpreterConfig` struct
2. rename the function to `_Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig()`, inspired by `Py_InitializeFromConfig()` (takes a `_PyInterpreterConfig` instead of `isolated_subinterpreter`)
3. split up the boolean `isolated_subinterpreter` into the corresponding multiple granular settings
* allow_fork
* allow_subprocess
* allow_threads
4. add `PyInterpreterState.feature_flags` to store those settings
5. add a function for checking if a feature is enabled on an opaque `PyInterpreterState *`
6. drop `PyConfig._isolated_interpreter`
The existing default (see `Py_NewInterpeter()` and `Py_Initialize*()`) allows fork, subprocess, and threads and the optional "isolated" interpreter (see the `_xxsubinterpreters` module) disables all three. None of that changes here; the defaults are preserved.
Note that the given `_PyInterpreterConfig` will not be used outside `_Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig()`, nor preserved. This contrasts with how `PyConfig` is currently preserved, used, and even modified outside `Py_InitializeFromConfig()`. I'd rather just avoid that mess from the start for `_PyInterpreterConfig`. We can preserve it later if we find an actual need.
This change allows us to follow up with a number of improvements (e.g. stop disallowing subprocess and support disallowing exec instead).
(Note that this PR adds "private" symbols. We'll probably make them public, and add docs, in a separate change.)
Functions re.sub() and re.subn() and corresponding re.Pattern methods
are now 2-3 times faster for replacement strings containing group references.

The os module and the PyUnicode_FSDecoder() function no longer accept
bytes-like paths, like bytearray and memoryview types: only the exact
bytes type is accepted for bytes strings.
Change summary:
+ There is now a `gzip.READ_BUFFER_SIZE` constant that is 128KB. Other programs that read in 128KB chunks: pigz and cat. So this seems best practice among good programs. Also it is faster than 8 kb chunks.
+ a zlib._ZlibDecompressor was added. This is the _bz2.BZ2Decompressor ported to zlib. Since the zlib.Decompress object is better for in-memory decompression, the _ZlibDecompressor is hidden. It only makes sense in file decompression, and that is already implemented now in the gzip library. No need to bother the users with this.
+ The ZlibDecompressor uses the older Cpython arrange_output_buffer functions, as those are faster and more appropriate for the use case.
+ GzipFile.read has been optimized. There is no longer a `unconsumed_tail` member to write back to padded file. This is instead handled by the ZlibDecompressor itself, which has an internal buffer. `_add_read_data` has been inlined, as it was just two calls.
EDIT: While I am adding improvements anyway, I figured I could add another one-liner optimization now to the python -m gzip application. That read chunks in io.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE previously, but has been updated now to use READ_BUFFER_SIZE chunks.
On macOS, fix a crash in syslog.syslog() in multi-threaded
applications. On macOS, the libc syslog() function is not
thread-safe, so syslog.syslog() no longer releases the GIL to call
it.
Signal wakeup fd errors are now logged with
_PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg(), rather than PySys_WriteStderr() and
PyErr_WriteUnraisable(), to pass the error message to
sys.unraisablehook. By default, it's still written into stderr (unless
sys.unraisablehook is overriden).
This seems pretty straightforward. The issue mentions other calls in mmapmodule that we could release the GIL on, but those are in methods where we'd need to be careful to ensure that something sensible happens if those are called concurrently. In prior art, note that #12073 released the GIL for munmap. In a toy benchmark, I see the speedup you'd expect from doing this.

These were intentionally skipped when operator was updated to use the argument clinic:
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/64385#issuecomment-1093641466
However, by not using the argument clinic, they missed out on getting signatures.
This is a narrow PR to update the docstrings so that `__text_signature__` can be
extracted from them. Updating to use the argument clinic is beyond scope.
`methodcaller` uses `*args, **kwargs` to match variadic names used elsewhere,
including in `operator.call`.
The macOS 13 SDK includes support for the `mkfifoat` and `mknodat` system calls.
Using the `dir_fd` option with either `os.mkfifo` or `os.mknod` could result in a
segfault if cpython is built with the macOS 13 SDK but run on an earlier
version of macOS. Prevent this by adding runtime support for detection of
these system calls ("weaklinking") as is done for other newer syscalls on
macOS.
Fix the Python path configuration used to initialized sys.path at
Python startup. Paths are no longer encoded to UTF-8/strict to avoid
encoding errors if it contains surrogate characters (bytes paths are
decoded with the surrogateescape error handler).
getpath_basename() and getpath_dirname() functions no longer encode
the path to UTF-8/strict, but work directly on Unicode strings. These
functions now use PyUnicode_FindChar() and PyUnicode_Substring() on
the Unicode path, rather than strrchr() on the encoded bytes string.
This PR fixes undefined behaviour in the struct module unpacking support functions `bu_longlong`, `lu_longlong`, `bu_int` and `lu_int`; thanks to @kumaraditya303 for finding these.
The fix is to accumulate the bytes in an unsigned integer type instead of a signed integer type, then to convert to the appropriate signed type. In cases where the width matches, that conversion will typically be compiled away to a no-op.
(Evidence from Godbolt: https://godbolt.org/z/5zvxodj64 .)
To make the conversions efficient, I've specialised the relevant functions for their output size: for `bu_longlong` and `lu_longlong`, this only entails checking that the output size is indeed `8`. But `bu_int` and `lu_int` were used for format sizes `2` and `4` - I've split those into two separate functions each.
No tests, because all of the affected cases are already exercised by the test suite.
Fix the faulthandler implementation of faulthandler.register(signal,

- Limited API needs to be enabled per source file
- Some builds don't support Limited API, so Limited API tests must be skipped on those builds
(currently this is `Py_TRACE_REFS`, but that may change.)
- `Py_LIMITED_API` must be defined before `<Python.h>` is included.
This puts the hoop-jumping in `testcapi/parts.h`, so individual
test files can be relatively simple. (Currently that's only
`vectorcall_limited.c`, imagine more.)
- On WASI `ENOTCAPABLE` is now mapped to `PermissionError`.
- The `errno` modules exposes the new error number.
- `getpath.py` now ignores `PermissionError` when it cannot open landmark

automatically bound to an available address in the abstract namespace.
>>> s = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

Since python 3.9, the socket is bound to the one address:
>>> s.getsockname()

The `_testcapimodule.c` file is getting too large to work with effectively.
This PR lays out a general structure of how tests can be split up, with more splitting to come later if the structure is OK.
Vectorcall tests aren't the biggest issue -- it's just an area I want to work on next, so I'm starting here.
An issue specific to vectorcall tests is that it wasn't clear that e.g. `MethodDescriptor2` is related to testing vectorcall: the `/* Test PEP 590 */` section had an ambiguous end. Separate file should make things like this much clearer.
OTOH, for some pieces it might not be clear where they should be -- I left `meth_fastcall` with tests of the other calling conventions. IMO, even with the ambiguity it's still worth it to split the huge file up.
I'm not sure about the buildsystem changes, hopefully CI will tell me what's wrong.

Make _struct.Struct a GC type

cycle is never collected.

This was added for bpo-40514 (gh-84694) to test out a per-interpreter GIL. However, it has since proven unnecessary to keep the experiment in the repo. (It can be done as a branch in a fork like normal.) So here we are removing:
* the configure option
* the macro
* the code enabled by the macro
Added a new stable API function ``PyType_FromMetaclass``, which mirrors
the behavior of ``PyType_FromModuleAndSpec`` except that it takes an
additional metaclass argument. This is, e.g., useful for language
binding tools that need to store additional information in the type
object.
Python now always use the ``%zu`` and ``%zd`` printf formats to

to display an object reference count.
* Update PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T comment.
* Remove outdated notes about the %zd format in PyBytes_FromFormat()

* configure no longer checks for the %zd format and no longer defines

In the limited C API version 3.12, PyUnicode_KIND() is now

Update _decimal.c and stringlib/eq.h for PyUnicode_KIND().
The `utc_to_seconds` call can fail, here's a minimal reproducer on
Linux:
TZ=UTC python -c "from datetime import *; datetime.fromtimestamp(253402300799 + 1)"
The old behavior still raised an error in a similar way, but only
because subsequent calculations happened to fail as well. Better to fail
fast.
This also refactors the tests to split out the `fromtimestamp` and
`utcfromtimestamp` tests, and to get us closer to the actual desired
limits of the functions. As part of this, we also changed the way we
detect platforms where the same limits don't necessarily apply (e.g.
Windows).
As part of refactoring the tests to hit this condition explicitly (even
though the user-facing behvior doesn't change in any way we plan to
guarantee), I noticed that there was a difference in the places that
`datetime.utcfromtimestamp` fails in the C and pure Python versions, which
was fixed by skipping the "probe for fold" logic for UTC specifically —
since UTC doesn't have any folds or gaps, we were never going to find a
fold value anyway. This should prevent some failures in the pure python
`utcfromtimestamp` method on timestamps close to 0001-01-01.
There are two separate news entries for this because one is a
potentially user-facing change, the other is an internal code
correctness change that, if anything, changes some error messages. The
two happen to be coupled because of the test refactoring, but they are
probably best thought of as independent changes.

Also move imports of ``re`` and ``keyword`` module to top level so they
are materialized early, too. The ``keyword`` module is trivial and the
``re`` is already imported via ``inspect`` -> ``linecache``.
