For threads, and for multiprocessing, it's always been the case that ``args=list`` works fine when passed to ``Process()`` or ``Thread()``, and such code is common in the wild. But, according to the docs, only a tuple can be used. This brings the docs into synch with reality.

Remove the undocumented private float.__set_format__() method,
previously known as float.__set_format__() in Python 3.7. Its
docstring said: "You probably don't want to use this function. It
exists mainly to be used in Python's test suite."
Remove the HAVE_PY_SET_53BIT_PRECISION macro (moved to the internal
C API).
* Move HAVE_PY_SET_53BIT_PRECISION macro to pycore_pymath.h.
* Replace PY_NO_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR macro with _PY_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR
macro which is always defined. gcc -Wundef emits a warning when
using _PY_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR but the macro is not defined, if
pycore_pymath.h include was forgotten.
* C API docs: move PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass docs
It was in the section about warnings, but it makes more sense to
put it with PyErr_SetImportError.
* C API docs: document closeit argument to PyRun_AnyFileExFlags
It was already documented for PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags.
* textual fixes to unicode docs
* Move paragraph about tp_dealloc into tp_dealloc section
* __aiter__ returns an async iterator, not an awaitable
The locale.getdefaultlocale() function is deprecated and will be
removed in Python 3.13. Use locale.setlocale(),
locale.getpreferredencoding(False) and locale.getlocale() functions
instead.
There are several changes:
1. We now don't explicitly check for any base / sub types, because new name check covers it
2. I've also checked that `no_type_check` do not modify foreign functions. It was the same as with `type`s
3. I've also covered `except TypeError` in `no_type_check` with a simple test case, it was not covered at all
4. I also felt like adding `lambda` test is a good idea: because `lambda` is a bit of both in class bodies: a function and an assignment

Add a link to the `match` statement from its section in the tutorial.
This should be backported to 3.10.

This PR for the documentation of the [html.parser](https://docs.python.org/3/library/html.parser.html) module will
- fix a terminology mistake (‘start of a tag’ -> ‘start tag of an element’);
- mention the parameter names of the `HTMLParser.handle_*` methods where missing.
* `precision` field is a decimal integer
* clarify that stated limitations are on presentation type
rather than input value type. Especially misleading is
"precision is not allowed for integer values", since integer
value input to a format like `.1f` is fine.
* regarding max field size, replace "non-number" with "string",
which is the only non-numeric presentation type

Also add .pyi to the python extensions in the "File-open" and "File-save" dialogues.
Add util.py to contain objects that are used in multiple idlelib modules
and have no dependencies on any of them.

The calendar.LocaleTextCalendar and calendar.LocaleHTMLCalendar
classes module now use locale.getlocale(), instead of using
locale.getdefaultlocale(), if no locale is specified.
Building Python now requires a C99 <math.h> header file providing a
NAN constant, or the __builtin_nan() built-in function. If a platform
does not support Not-a-Number (NaN), the Py_NO_NAN macro can be
defined in the pyconfig.h file.

This reduces the size of the data segment by **300 KB** of the executable because if the modules are deep-frozen then the marshalled frozen data just wastes space. This was inspired by comment by @gvanrossum in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/29118#issuecomment-958521863. Note: There is a new option `--deepfreeze-only` in `freeze_modules.py` to change this behavior, it is on be default to save disk space.

* Revert "bpo-45173 Remove configparser deprecations"
This reverts commit df2284bc41.
* bpo-45173: Note these configparser deprecations will be removed in 3.12
This adds a slightly more detailed explanation of the change.
The most important point is that the changed/removed fields
were "subject to change" to begin with.
* Add PRECALL_FUNCTION opcode.
* Move 'call shape' varaibles into struct.
* Replace CALL_NO_KW and CALL_KW with KW_NAMES and CALL instructions.
* Specialize for builtin methods taking using the METH_FASTCALL | METH_KEYWORDS protocol.
* Allow kwnames for specialized calls to builtin types.
* Specialize calls to tuple(arg) and str(arg).
Remove the PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS() macro. It was exposed in the
public C API by mistake, it must only be used by Python internally.
Use the PyTypeObject.tp_members member instead.
Rename PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS() to _PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS() and move
it to the internal C API.
Less specific number wording (as there is no one right number - the old 100k is too big for some applications and woefully small for others). We now link to NIST SP 800-132 to tell people what to read in there on how to decide for their application.

Revert "bpo-45162: Remove many old deprecated unittest features (GH-28268)"
This reverts commit b0a6ede3d0.
We're deferring this change until 3.12 while upstream projects that use
the legacy assertion method names are fixed. See the issue for links
to the discussion. Many upstream projects now have issues and PRs
filed.
In the File menu, 'Close' and 'Exit' are now 'Close Window' (the current
one) and 'Exit' is now 'Exit IDLE' (by closing all windows).
In Shell, 'quit()' and 'exit()' mean 'close Shell'.
If there are no other windows, this also exits IDLE.
Since,
- Py_CompileString no longer allows to distinguish "incomplete input"
from "invalid input"
- there is no alternative solution available from the Python C API
due to how the new parser works (rewritten in 3.9)
- the only supported way is to manually import the codeop module from C
and use its API as IDLE does, and accept its own complications
it is desirable to remove this Q&A from the official FAQ.
