Add a new internal pycore_byteswap.h header file with the following
functions:
* _Py_bswap16()
* _Py_bswap32()
* _Py_bswap64()
Use these functions in _ctypes, sha256 and sha512 modules,
and also use in the UTF-32 encoder.
sha256, sha512 and _ctypes modules are now built with the internal
C API.
Add _PyIndex_Check() function to the internal C API: fast inlined
verson of PyIndex_Check().
Add Include/internal/pycore_abstract.h header file.
Replace PyIndex_Check() with _PyIndex_Check() in C files of Objects
and Python subdirectories.
This implements things like `list[int]`,
which returns an object of type `types.GenericAlias`.
This object mostly acts as a proxy for `list`,
but has attributes `__origin__` and `__args__`
that allow recovering the parts (with values `list` and `(int,)`.
There is also an approximate notion of type variables;
e.g. `list[T]` has a `__parameters__` attribute equal to `(T,)`.
Type variables are objects of type `typing.TypeVar`.
Add _PySys_Audit() function to the internal C API: similar to
PySys_Audit(), but requires a mandatory tstate parameter.
Cleanup sys_audit_tstate() code: remove code path for NULL tstate,
since the function exits at entry if tstate is NULL. Remove also code
path for NULL tstate->interp: should_audit() now ensures that it is
not NULL (even if tstate->interp cannot be NULL in practice).
PySys_AddAuditHook() now checks if tstate is not NULL to decide if
tstate can be used or not, and tstate is set to NULL if the runtime
is not initialized yet.
Use _PySys_Audit() in sysmodule.c.
Add --with-platlibdir option to the configure script: name of the
platform-specific library directory, stored in the new sys.platlitdir
attribute. It is used to build the path of platform-specific dynamic
libraries and the path of the standard library.
It is equal to "lib" on most platforms. On Fedora and SuSE, it is
equal to "lib64" on 64-bit systems.

Move CPython C API from Include/fileutils.h into a new
Include/cpython/fileutils.h header file which is included by
Include/fileutils.h.
Exclude the following private symbols from the limited C API:
* _Py_error_handler
* _Py_GetErrorHandler()
* _Py_DecodeLocaleEx()
* _Py_EncodeLocaleEx()
Add Include/cpython/bytearrayobject.h and
Include/cpython/bytesobject.h header files.
Move CPython C API from Include/bytesobject.h into a new
Include/cpython/bytesobject.h header file which is included by
Include/bytesobject.h. Do a similar change for
Include/bytearrayobject.h.
Move the dtoa.h header file to the internal C API as pycore_dtoa.h:
it only contains private functions (prefixed by "_Py").
The math and cmath modules must now be compiled with the
Py_BUILD_CORE macro defined.
Move the bytes_methods.h header file to the internal C API as
pycore_bytes_methods.h: it only contains private symbols (prefixed by
"_Py"), except of the PyDoc_STRVAR_shared() macro.
Move listobject.h code surrounded by "#ifndef Py_LIMITED_API"
to a new Include/cpython/listobject.h header file.
Add cpython/ header files to Makefile.pre.in and pythoncore project
of PCbuild.
Add _PyList_CAST() macro.
Provide Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() as
regular functions for the limited API. Previously, there were defined
as macros, but these macros didn't work with the limited API which
cannot access PyThreadState.recursion_depth field.
Remove _Py_CheckRecursionLimit from the stable ABI.
Add Include/cpython/ceval.h header file.
Change "clean" makefile target to also clean the program guided
optimization (PGO) data. Previously you would have to use "make
clean" and "make profile-removal", or "make clobber".
Reduce the number of unit tests run for the PGO generation task. This
speeds up the task by a factor of about 15x. Running the full unit test
suite is slow. This change may result in a slightly less optimized build
since not as many code branches will be executed. If you are willing to
wait for the much slower build, the old behavior can be restored using
'./configure [..] PROFILE_TASK="-m test --pgo-extended"'. We make no
guarantees as to which PGO task set produces a faster build. Users who
care should run their own relevant benchmarks as results can depend on
the environment, workload, and compiler tool chain.
* regrtest: Add --cleanup option to remove "test_python_*" directories
of previous failed test jobs.
* Add "make cleantest" to run "python3 -m test --cleanup".
* Add Include/cpython/import.h and Include/internal/pycore_import.h
header files.
* Move _PyImport_ReInitLock() to the internal C API. Don't export the
symbol anymore.
To embed Python into an application, a new --embed option must be
passed to "python3-config --libs --embed" to get "-lpython3.8" (link
the application to libpython). To support both 3.8 and older, try
"python3-config --libs --embed" first and fallback to "python3-config
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails.
Add a pkg-config "python-3.8-embed" module to embed Python into an
application: "pkg-config python-3.8-embed --libs" includes
"-lpython3.8". To support both 3.8 and older, try "pkg-config
python-X.Y-embed --libs" first and fallback to "pkg-config python-X.Y
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails (replace
"X.Y" with the Python version).
On the other hand, "pkg-config python3.8 --libs" no longer contains
"-lpython3.8". C extensions must not be linked to libpython (except
on Android, case handled by the script); this change is backward
incompatible on purpose.
"make install" now also installs "python-3.8-embed.pc".
* Include C14N 2.0 test data in installation.
* Add README file to the C14N test data directory to reference the original source and licensing conditions.
On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython.
It is now possible to load a C extension built using a shared library
Python with a statically linked Python.
When Python is embedded, libpython must not be loaded with
RTLD_LOCAL, but RTLD_GLOBAL instead. Previously, using RTLD_LOCAL, it
was already not possible to load C extensions which were not linked
to libpython, like C extensions of the standard library built by the
"*shared*" section of Modules/Setup.
distutils, python-config and python-config.py have been modified.
Now that the parser generator is written in Python (Parser/pgen) we can make use of it to regenerate the Lib/keyword file that contains the language keywords instead of parsing the autogenerated grammar files. This also allows checking in the CI that the autogenerated files are up to date.
