Martin Panter aa0da864b8 Issue #12067: Rewrite Comparisons section in the language reference
Some of the details of comparing mixed types were incorrect or ambiguous.
NotImplemented is only relevant at a lower level than the Expressions
chapter. Added details of comparing range() objects, and default behaviour
and consistency suggestions for user-defined classes. Patch from Andy Maier.

Nick Coghlan 91e561aa77 Issue #24129: Clarify reference docs for name resolution.
This includes removing the assumption that readers will be familiar with the

Yury Selivanov 8fb307cd65 Issue #24619: New approach for tokenizing async/await.
This commit fixes how one-line async-defs and defs are tracked
by tokenizer.  It allows to correctly parse invalid code such
as:

>>> async def f():
...     def g(): pass
...     async = 10

and valid code such as:

>>> async def f():
...     async def g(): pass
...     await z

As a consequence, is is now possible to have one-line
'async def foo(): await ..' functions:

>>> async def foo(): return await bar()

Yury Selivanov 5376ba9630 Issue #24400: Introduce a distinct type for 'async def' coroutines.
Summary of changes:

1. Coroutines now have a distinct, separate from generators
   type at the C level: PyGen_Type, and a new typedef PyCoroObject.
   PyCoroObject shares the initial segment of struct layout with
   PyGenObject, making it possible to reuse existing generators
   machinery.  The new type is exposed as 'types.CoroutineType'.

   As a consequence of having a new type, CO_GENERATOR flag is
   no longer applied to coroutines.

2. Having a separate type for coroutines made it possible to add
   an __await__ method to the type.  Although it is not used by the
   interpreter (see details on that below), it makes coroutines
   naturally (without using __instancecheck__) conform to
   collections.abc.Coroutine and collections.abc.Awaitable ABCs.

   [The __instancecheck__ is still used for generator-based
   coroutines, as we don't want to add __await__ for generators.]

3. Add new opcode: GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER.  The opcode is needed to
   allow passing native coroutines to the YIELD_FROM opcode.

   Before this change, 'yield from o' expression was compiled to:

      (o)
      GET_ITER
      LOAD_CONST
      YIELD_FROM

   Now, we use GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER instead of GET_ITER.

   The reason for adding a new opcode is that GET_ITER is used
   in some contexts (such as 'for .. in' loops) where passing
   a coroutine object is invalid.

4. Add two new introspection functions to the inspec module:
   getcoroutinestate(c) and getcoroutinelocals(c).

5. inspect.iscoroutine(o) is updated to test if 'o' is a native
   coroutine object.  Before this commit it used abc.Coroutine,
   and it was requested to update inspect.isgenerator(o) to use
   abc.Generator; it was decided, however, that inspect functions
   should really be tailored for checking for native types.

6. sys.set_coroutine_wrapper(w) API is updated to work with only
   native coroutines.  Since types.coroutine decorator supports
   any type of callables now, it would be confusing that it does
   not work for all types of coroutines.

7. Exceptions logic in generators C implementation was updated
   to raise clearer messages for coroutines:

   Before: TypeError("generator raised StopIteration")
   After: TypeError("coroutine raised StopIteration")

Brett Cannon 02d8454002 Issue #23014: Make importlib.abc.Loader.create_module() required when

Before this change, create_module() was optional **and** could return
None to trigger default semantics. This change now reduces the
options for choosing default semantics to one and in the most
backporting-friendly way (define create_module() to return None).
