Building Python now requires a C99 <math.h> header file providing a
NAN constant, or the __builtin_nan() built-in function. If a platform
does not support Not-a-Number (NaN), the Py_NO_NAN macro can be
defined in the pyconfig.h file.

This reduces the size of the data segment by **300 KB** of the executable because if the modules are deep-frozen then the marshalled frozen data just wastes space. This was inspired by comment by @gvanrossum in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/29118#issuecomment-958521863. Note: There is a new option `--deepfreeze-only` in `freeze_modules.py` to change this behavior, it is on be default to save disk space.

* Revert "bpo-45173 Remove configparser deprecations"
This reverts commit df2284bc41.
* bpo-45173: Note these configparser deprecations will be removed in 3.12
This adds a slightly more detailed explanation of the change.
The most important point is that the changed/removed fields
were "subject to change" to begin with.
* Add PRECALL_FUNCTION opcode.
* Move 'call shape' varaibles into struct.
* Replace CALL_NO_KW and CALL_KW with KW_NAMES and CALL instructions.
* Specialize for builtin methods taking using the METH_FASTCALL | METH_KEYWORDS protocol.
* Allow kwnames for specialized calls to builtin types.
* Specialize calls to tuple(arg) and str(arg).
Remove the PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS() macro. It was exposed in the
public C API by mistake, it must only be used by Python internally.
Use the PyTypeObject.tp_members member instead.
Rename PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS() to _PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS() and move
it to the internal C API.
Less specific number wording (as there is no one right number - the old 100k is too big for some applications and woefully small for others). We now link to NIST SP 800-132 to tell people what to read in there on how to decide for their application.

Revert "bpo-45162: Remove many old deprecated unittest features (GH-28268)"
This reverts commit b0a6ede3d0.
We're deferring this change until 3.12 while upstream projects that use
the legacy assertion method names are fixed. See the issue for links
to the discussion. Many upstream projects now have issues and PRs
filed.
In the File menu, 'Close' and 'Exit' are now 'Close Window' (the current
one) and 'Exit' is now 'Exit IDLE' (by closing all windows).
In Shell, 'quit()' and 'exit()' mean 'close Shell'.
If there are no other windows, this also exits IDLE.
Since,
- Py_CompileString no longer allows to distinguish "incomplete input"
from "invalid input"
- there is no alternative solution available from the Python C API
due to how the new parser works (rewritten in 3.9)
- the only supported way is to manually import the codeop module from C
and use its API as IDLE does, and accept its own complications
it is desirable to remove this Q&A from the official FAQ.
When configuring the logging stack, accept already built filters (or
just callables) in the filters array of loggers and handlers.
This facilitates passing quick callables as filters.

* Add RETURN_GENERATOR and JUMP_NO_INTERRUPT opcodes.
* Trim frame and generator by word each.
* Minor refactor of frame.c
* Update test.test_sys to account for smaller frames.
* Treat generator functions as normal functions when evaluating and specializing.
A small change to the documentation of datetime module , in the format codes section of stftime and strptime. Changed the description of format code '%W' from 'as a decimal number' to 'a zero padded decimal number' so it's in line with the example having leading zeros. Similar to the format code '%U' above.

The documentation on ``GenericAlias`` objects implies at multiple points that
only container classes can define ``__class_getitem__``. This is misleading.
This PR proposes a rewrite of the documentation to clarify that non-container
classes can define ``__class_getitem__``, and to clarify what it means when a
non-container class is parameterized.
See also: initial discussion of issues with this piece of documentation in
GH-29308, and previous BPO issue [42280](https://bugs.python.org/issue42280).
Also improved references in glossary and typing docs. Fixed some links.
