The new syntax is highly human readable while still preventing false
positives. The syntax also extends Python syntax to denote "self" and
positional-only parameters, allowing inspect.Signature objects to be
totally accurate for all supported builtins in Python 3.4.
annotate text signatures in docstrings, resulting in fewer false
positives. "self" parameters are also explicitly marked, allowing
inspect.Signature() to authoritatively detect (and skip) said parameters.
Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now generates separate checksums for the
input and output sections of the block, allowing external tools to verify
that the input has not changed (and thus the output is not out-of-date).
PyMethodDescr_Type, _PyMethodWrapper_Type, and PyWrapperDescr_Type)
have been modified to provide introspection information for builtins.
Also: many additional Lib, test suite, and Argument Clinic fixes.
importlib._bootstrap is now frozen into Python/importlib.h and stored
as _frozen_importlib in sys.modules. Py_Initialize() loads the frozen
code along with sys and imp and then uses _frozen_importlib._install()
to set builtins.__import__() w/ _frozen_importlib.__import__().
http://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/ThreadSanitizer is a dynamic data
race detector that runs on top of valgrind. With this patch, the binaries at
http://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/ThreadSanitizer#Binaries pass many
but not all of the Python tests. All of regrtest still passes outside of tsan.
I've implemented part of the C1x atomic types so that we can explicitly mark
variables that are used across threads, and get defined behavior as compilers
advance.
I've added tsan's client header and implementation to the codebase in
dynamic_annotations.{h,c} (docs at
http://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/DynamicAnnotations).
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get helgrind and drd to give sensible
error messages, even when I use their client annotations, so I'm not supporting
them.

Issue #4688: Add a heuristic so that tuples and dicts containing only
untrackable objects are not tracked by the garbage collector. This can
reduce the size of collections and therefore the garbage collection overhead
on long-running programs, depending on their particular use of datatypes.

Adds a sanity check to avoid a *very rare* infinite loop due to a corrupt tls
key list data structure in the thread startup path.
This change is a companion to r60148 which already successfully dealt with a
similar issue on thread shutdown.
In particular this loop has been observed happening from this call path:
#0 in find_key ()
#1 in PyThread_set_key_value ()
#2 in _PyGILState_NoteThreadState ()
#3 in PyThreadState_New ()
#4 in t_bootstrap ()
#5 in pthread_start_thread ()
I don't know how this happens but it does, *very* rarely. On more than
one hardware platform. I have not been able to reproduce it manually.
(A flaky mutex implementation on the system in question is one hypothesis).
As with r60148, the spinning we managed to observe in the wild was due to a
single list element pointing back upon itself.

Create a db_home directory with a unique name so multiple users can
run the test simultaneously. The simplest thing I found that worked
on both Windows and Unix was to use the PID. It's unique so should be
sufficient. This should prevent many of the spurious failures of
the automated tests since they run as different users.
Also cleanup the directory consistenly in the tearDown methods.
It would be nice if someone ensured that the directories are always
created with a consistent name.

#1750076: Debugger did not step on every iteration of a while statement.
The mapping between bytecode offsets and source lines (lnotab) did not contain
an entry for the beginning of the loop.
Now it does, and the lnotab can be a bit larger:
in particular, several statements on the same line generate several entries.
However, this does not bother the settrace function, which will trigger only
one 'line' event.
The lnotab seems to be exactly the same as with python2.4.

Change r60575 broke test_compile:
there is no need to emit co_lnotab item when both offsets are zeros.

Unified naming convention for free lists and their limits. All free lists
in Object/ are named ``free_list``, the counter ``numfree`` and the upper
limit is a macro ``PyName_MAXFREELIST`` inside an #ifndef block.
The chances should make it easier to adjust Python for platforms with
less memory, e.g. mobile phones.
