Declare the following functions as macros, since they are actually
macros. It avoids a warning on "TYPE" or "macro" argument.
* PyMem_New()
* PyMem_Resize()
* PyModule_AddIntMacro()
* PyModule_AddStringMacro()
* PyObject_GC_New()
* PyObject_GC_NewVar()
* PyObject_New()
* PyObject_NewVar()
Add C standard C types to nitpick_ignore in Doc/conf.py:
* int64_t
* uint64_t
* uintptr_t
No longer ignore non existing "__int" type in nitpick_ignore.
Update Doc/tools/.nitignore
Update the nitpick_ignore of the documentation configuration to fix
Sphinx warnings about standard C types when declaring functions with
the "c:function" markups.
Copy standard C types declared in the "c:type" domain to the
"c:identifier" domain, since "c:function" markup looks for types in
the "c:identifier" domain.

The documentation implies that PyVectorcall_Function() was available in Python 3.8.
This is half-true - it was available under a different name. I think it's clearer to set
the "version added" to 3.9.
The "New Modules" section was left in place to ensure that the anchor
link for new modules will still exist:
/whatsnew/3.12.html#new-modules
/whatsnew/3.10.html#new-modules
This means that existing links to this section don't break.
* Add PyDict_GetItemRef() and PyDict_GetItemStringRef() functions.
Add these functions to the stable ABI version 3.13.
* Add unit tests on the PyDict C API in test_capi.
Add Background as a toplevel section with the following subsections:
- Background
- The goals of Argument Clinic
- Basic concepts and usage
Rename "Converting your first function" to Tutorial.
Add anchors for Background, Tutorial, and How-to Guides:
- :ref:`clinic-background`
- :ref:`clinic-tutorial`
- :ref:`clinic-howtos`
Link to these from within the Abstract.
Break the compatibility paragraph out of Abstract and make it a note.

* Fix the french used in the email documentation
The french used in one of the example was either machine translated a while ago or written by someone who does not speak french. Fixed it by using grammatically correct french.
* Added missing import statement.
* Update Doc/tutorial/controlflow.rst
* Update Doc/tutorial/controlflow.rst
* Update controlflow.rst
* Make point regular class with __init__.

* Convert PyObject_DelAttr() and PyObject_DelAttrString() macros to
functions.
* Add PyObject_DelAttr() and PyObject_DelAttrString() functions to
the stable ABI.
* Replace PyObject_SetAttr(obj, name, NULL) with
PyObject_DelAttr(obj, name).
Detect email address parsing errors and return empty tuple to indicate the parsing error (old API). This fixes or at least ameliorates CVE-2023-27043.

When changing docs, it was easy to find text in topics.py, and I
wondered whether I was supposed to edit it. Thankfully, the top of the
file says it's auto-generated, so I knew I didn't have to edit it. But I
didn't know what started the auto-generation process.
It's part of the release process, so I'll leave a note here for future
editors.
The getopt module exists since the initial revision of the Python
source code (1990). The optparse module was added to Python 2.3. When
Python 2.7 added the 3rd argparse module, the optparse module was
soft deprecated. Soft deprecate the getopt module.
Schedule the removal of C API global configuration variables in
Python 3.14. Announce the removal to help C extension maintainers to
upgrade their code.
mock: Rename `wait_until_any_call` to `wait_until_any_call_with`
Rename the method to be more explicit that it expects the args and
kwargs to wait for.
mock: Add `ThreadingMock` class
Add a new class that allows to wait for a call to happen by using
`Event` objects. This mock class can be used to test and validate
expectations of multithreading code.
It uses two attributes for events to distinguish calls with any argument
and calls with specific arguments.
The calls with specific arguments need a lock to prevent two calls in
parallel from creating the same event twice.
The timeout is configured at class and constructor level to allow users
to set a timeout, we considered passing it as an argument to the
function but it could collide with a function parameter. Alternatively
we also considered passing it as positional only but from an API
caller perspective it was unclear what the first number meant on the
function call, think `mock.wait_until_called(1, "arg1", "arg2")`, where
1 is the timeout.
Lastly we also considered adding the new attributes to magic mock
directly rather than having a custom mock class for multi threading
scenarios, but we preferred to have specialised class that can be
composed if necessary. Additionally, having added it to `MagicMock`
directly would have resulted in `AsyncMock` having this logic, which
would not work as expected, since when if user "waits" on a
coroutine does not have the same meaning as waiting on a standard
call.

Remove the "cpython/pytime.h" header file: it only contained private
functions. Move functions to the internal pycore_time.h header file.
Move tests from _testcapi to _testinternalcapi. Rename also test
methods to have the same name than tested C functions.
No longer export these functions:
* _PyTime_Add()
* _PyTime_As100Nanoseconds()
* _PyTime_FromMicrosecondsClamp()
* _PyTime_FromTimespec()
* _PyTime_FromTimeval()
* _PyTime_GetPerfCounterWithInfo()
* _PyTime_MulDiv()
Command Prompt (CMD Shell) and older versions of PowerShell
require double quotes and single quotes inside the string.
This form also works on linux and macOS.
PyTuple_SET_ITEM() and PyList_SET_ITEM() now check the index argument
with an assertion if Python is built in debug mode or is built with
assertions.
* list_extend() and _PyList_AppendTakeRef() now set the list size
before calling PyList_SET_ITEM().
* PyStructSequence_GetItem() and PyStructSequence_SetItem() now check
the index argument: must be lesser than REAL_SIZE(op).
* PyStructSequence_GET_ITEM() and PyStructSequence_SET_ITEM() are now
aliases to PyStructSequence_GetItem() and
PyStructSequence_SetItem().
Brings `pathlib.Path.is_dir()` and `in line with `os.DirEntry.is_dir()`, which
will be important for implementing generic path walking and globbing.
Likewise `is_file()`.
Remove old aliases which were kept backwards compatibility with
Python 3.8:
* _PyObject_CallMethodNoArgs()
* _PyObject_CallMethodOneArg()
* _PyObject_CallOneArg()
* _PyObject_FastCallDict()
* _PyObject_Vectorcall()
* _PyObject_VectorcallMethod()
* _PyVectorcall_Function()
Update code which used these aliases to use new names.
Use a note:: tag so that these dict and object API deficiencies show up clearly.
A caution:: tag was considered, but our current python docs rendering doesn't do much with that (no box or color change). warning:: seemed too extreme. note looks good.
This new exception type is raised instead of `NotImplementedError` when
a path operation is not supported. It can be raised from `Path.readlink()`,
`symlink_to()`, `hardlink_to()`, `owner()` and `group()`. In a future
version of pathlib, it will be raised by `AbstractPath` for these methods
and others, such as `AbstractPath.mkdir()` and `unlink()`.
