- Improve error message when parameter without a default follows one with a default
- Show same error message when positional-only params precede the default/non-default sequence
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).
* Rename PyConfig.use_peg to _use_peg_parser
* Document PyConfig._use_peg_parser and mark it a deprecated
* Mark -X oldparser option and PYTHONOLDPARSER env var as deprecated
in the documentation.
* Add use_old_parser() and skip_if_new_parser() to test.support
* Remove sys.flags.use_peg: use_old_parser() uses
_testinternalcapi.get_configs() instead.
* Enhance test_embed tests
* subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() copies -X oldparser
Break up COMPARE_OP into four logically distinct opcodes:
* COMPARE_OP for rich comparisons
* IS_OP for 'is' and 'is not' tests
* CONTAINS_OP for 'in' and 'is not' tests
* JUMP_IF_NOT_EXC_MATCH for checking exceptions in 'try-except' statements.
This commit contains the implementation of PEP570: Python positional-only parameters.
* Update Grammar/Grammar with new typedarglist and varargslist
* Regenerate grammar files
* Update and regenerate AST related files
* Update code object
* Update marshal.c
* Update compiler and symtable
* Regenerate importlib files
* Update callable objects
* Implement positional-only args logic in ceval.c
* Regenerate frozen data
* Update standard library to account for positional-only args
* Add test file for positional-only args
* Update other test files to account for positional-only args
* Add News entry
* Update inspect module and related tests
