Builtin functions and methods that have non-representable signatures today
will have representable signatures yesterday, and they will become unusable
for testing this feature.
So we need to add special functions and methods to the _testcapi module
that always have non-representable signatures.
If the output arg to Helper() is a stream rather than the default None, which means 'page to stdout', the ImportError from pydoc.resolve is currently not caught in pydoc.doc. The same error is caught when output is None.

- Emscripten's default umask is too strict, see
https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/17269
- getuid/getgid and geteuid/getegid are stubs that always return 0
(root). Disable effective uid/gid syscalls and fix tests that use
chmod() current user.
- Cannot drop X bit from directory.
- Add requires_fork and requires_subprocess to more tests
- Skip extension import tests if dlopen is not available
- Don't assume that _testcapi is a shared extension
- Skip a lot of socket tests that don't work on Emscripten
- Skip mmap tests, mmap emulation is incomplete
- venv does not work yet
- Cannot get libc from executable
The "entire" test suite is now passing on Emscripten with EMSDK from git head (91 suites are skipped).
Previously it tested that that the actual output contains every non-whitespace
character from the expected output (ignoring order and repetitions).
Now it will test that the actual output contains the same lines as the expected
output, in the same order, ignoring indentation and empty lines.
- Uniform usage of `test.support.requires_docstrings` instead of a
local check for `-OO`.
- Added `requires_docstrings` to a couple more methods that need it.
- Replaced a few instances of `test.test_pydoc` with `__name__` to allow
for different methods of running just this test file.
- Rewrote `test_server` to run faster and better test the server.
- Removed unused import.
- Removed unused locals.
- Minor whitespace cleanups.
Instead of explicitly enumerate test classes for run_unittest()
use the unittest ability to discover tests. This also makes these
tests discoverable and runnable with unittest.
load_tests() can be used for dynamic generating tests and adding
doctests. setUpModule(), tearDownModule() and addModuleCleanup()
can be used for running code before and after all module tests.
Doing this provides significant performance gains for runtime startup (~15% with all the imported modules frozen). We don't yet freeze all the imported modules because there are a few hiccups in the build systems we need to sort out first. (See bpo-45186 and bpo-45188.)
Note that in PR GH-28320 we added a command-line flag (-X frozen_modules=[on|off]) that allows users to opt out of (or into) using frozen modules. The default is still "off" but we will change it to "on" as soon as we can do it in a way that does not cause contributors pain.

Static methods (@staticmethod) and class methods (@classmethod) now
inherit the method attributes (__module__, __name__, __qualname__,
__doc__, __annotations__) and have a new __wrapped__ attribute.
Changes:
* Add a repr() method to staticmethod and classmethod types.
* Add tests on the @classmethod decorator.
* Enum: streamline repr() and str(); improve docs
- repr() is now ``enum_class.member_name``
- stdlib global enums are ``module_name.member_name``
- str() is now ``member_name``
- add HOW-TO section for ``Enum``
- change main documentation to be an API reference
CVE-2021-3426: Remove the "getfile" feature of the pydoc module which
could be abused to read arbitrary files on the disk (directory
traversal vulnerability). Moreover, even source code of Python
modules can contain sensitive data like passwords. Vulnerability
reported by David Schwörer.
The hard part was making all the tests pass; there are some subtle issues here, because apparently the future import wasn't tested very thoroughly in previous Python versions.
For example, `inspect.signature()` returned type objects normally (except for forward references), but strings with the future import. We changed it to try and return type objects by calling `typing.get_type_hints()`, but fall back on returning strings if that function fails (which it may do if there are future references in the annotations that require passing in a specific namespace to resolve).
* Use ast module to find class definition
* Add NEWS entry
* Fix class with multiple children and move decorator code to the method
* Fix PR comments
1. Use node.decorator_list to select decorators
2. Remove unwanted variables in ClassVisitor
3. Simplify stack management as per review
* Add test for nested functions and async calls
* Fix pydoc test since comments are returned now correctly
* Set event loop policy as None to fix environment related change
* Refactor visit_AsyncFunctionDef and tests
* Refactor to use local variables and fix tests
* Add patch attribution
* Use self.addCleanup for asyncio
* Rename ClassVisitor to ClassFinder and fix asyncio cleanup
* Return first class inside conditional in case of multiple definitions. Remove decorator for class source.
* Add docstring to make the test correct
* Modify NEWS entry regarding decorators
* Return decorators too for bpo-15856
* Move ast and the class source code to top. Use proper Exception.
Replace hardcoded timeout constants in tests with SHORT_TIMEOUT of
test.support, so it's easier to ajdust this timeout for all tests at
once.
SHORT_TIMEOUT is 30 seconds by default, but it can be longer
depending on --timeout command line option.
The change makes almost all timeouts longer, except
test_reap_children() of test_support which is made 2x shorter:
SHORT_TIMEOUT should be enough. If this test starts to fail,
LONG_TIMEOUT should be used instead.
Uniformize also "from test import support" import in some test files.
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.
https://bugs.python.org/issue36045
Replace time.time() with time.monotonic() in tests to measure time
delta.
test_zipfile64: display progress every minute (60 secs) rather than
every 5 minutes (5*60 seconds).
For builtin types with builtin subclasses, help() on the type now shows up
to 4 of the subclasses. This partially replaces the exception hierarchy
information previously displayed in Python 2.7.
The pydoc CLI assumed -m pydoc would add the empty string
to sys.path, and hence got confused when it switched to
adding the full initial working directory instead.
This refactors the pydoc CLI path manipulation to be
more testable, and ensures it won't accidentally
remove the standard library directory containing
pydoc itself from sys.path.
