Make sys.setprofile() and sys.settrace() functions reentrant. They
can no long fail with: RuntimeError("Cannot install a trace function
while another trace function is being installed").
Make _PyEval_SetTrace() and _PyEval_SetProfile() functions reentrant,
rather than detecting and rejecting reentrant calls. Only delete the
reference to function arguments once the new function is fully set,
when a reentrant call is safe. Call also _PySys_Audit() earlier.
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.
Alas, warnings.catch_warnings() has global scope, not thread scope, so this is still not perfect, but it reduces the time during which warnings are ignored. Better solution welcome.
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.
This is the next step for deprecating child watchers.
Until we've removed the API completely we have to use it, so this PR is mostly suppressing a lot of warnings when using the API internally.
Once the child watcher API is totally removed, the two child watcher implementations we actually use and need (Pidfd and Thread) will be turned into internal helpers.
test_tools.test_sundry() now uses an unittest mock to prevent the
logging module to register a real "atfork" function which kept the
logging module dictionary alive. So the logging module can be
properly unloaded. Previously, the logging module was loaded before
test_sundry(), but it's no longer the case since recent test_tools
sub-tests removals.
Remove outdated example scripts of the Tools/scripts/ directory:
* gprof2html.py
* md5sum.py
* nm2def.py
* pathfix.py
* win_add2path.py
Remove test_gprof2html, test_md5sum and test_pathfix of test_tools.
There is no reason for this watcher to be attached to any particular loop.
This should make it safe to use regardless of the lifetime of the event loop running in the main thread
(relative to other loops).

The test failed on a buildbot because the pointer was only 7 hex characters. To be safe,
I bumped it down to 3: 4 in case we have 32-bit platforms, and 3 in case the pointer is very small.
