Add documentation to help diagnose CDLL dependent DLL loading errors
on windows for OSError with message:
"[WinError 126] The specified module could not be found"
This error is otherwise difficult to diagnose.
@ericsnowcurrently This PR will change the following:
In the library documentation importlib.rst:
- `module.__package__` can be `module.__name__` for packages;
- `spec.parent` can be `spec.__name__` for packages;
- `spec.loader` is not `None` for namespaces packages.
In the language documentation import.rst:
- `spec.loader` is not `None` for namespace packages.

* Add _newline_ parameter to `pathlib.Path.write_text()`
* Update documentation of `pathlib.Path.write_text()`
* Add test case for `pathlib.Path.write_text()` calls with _newline_ parameter passed

Clarify in the subprocess documentation how searching for the executable to run works, noting that ``sys.executable`` is the recommended way to find the current interpreter.
* Add F_SETPIPE_SZ and F_GETPIPE_SZ to fcntl module
* Add pipesize parameter for subprocess.Popen class
This will allow the user to control the size of the pipes.
On linux the default is 64K. When a pipe is full it blocks for writing.
When a pipe is empty it blocks for reading. On processes that are
very fast this can lead to a lot of wasted CPU cycles. On a typical
Linux system the max pipe size is 1024K which is much better.
For high performance-oriented libraries such as xopen it is nice to
be able to set the pipe size.
The workaround without this feature is to use my_popen_process.stdout.fileno() in
conjuction with fcntl and 1031 (value of F_SETPIPE_SZ) to acquire this behavior.
`site.getusersitepackages()` returns the location of the user-specific site-packages directory
even when the user-specific site-packages is disabled.
```
$ python -s -m site
sys.path = [
'/home/user/conda/lib/python37.zip',
'/home/user/conda/lib/python3.7',
'/home/user/conda/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload',
'/home/user/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages',
]
USER_BASE: '/home/user/.local' (exists)
USER_SITE: '/home/user/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages' (doesn't exist)
ENABLE_USER_SITE: False
```
It was not practical to prevent the function from returning None if user-specific site-packages are disabled, since there are other uses of the function which are relying on this behaviour (e.g. `python -m site`).
This special marker annotation is intended to help in distinguishing
proper PEP 484-compliant type aliases from regular top-level variable
assignments.
* bpo-26680: Adds support for int.is_integer() for compatibility with float.is_integer().
The int.is_integer() method always returns True.
* bpo-26680: Adds a test to ensure that False.is_integer() and True.is_integer() are always True.
* bpo-26680: Adds Real.is_integer() with a trivial implementation using conversion to int.
This default implementation is intended to reduce the workload for subclass
implementers. It is not robust in the presence of infinities or NaNs and
may have suboptimal performance for other types.
* bpo-26680: Adds Rational.is_integer which returns True if the denominator is one.
This implementation assumes the Rational is represented in it's
lowest form, as required by the class docstring.
* bpo-26680: Adds Integral.is_integer which always returns True.
* bpo-26680: Adds tests for Fraction.is_integer called as an instance method.
The tests for the Rational abstract base class use an unbound
method to sidestep the inability to directly instantiate Rational.
These tests check that everything works correct as an instance method.
* bpo-26680: Updates documentation for Real.is_integer and built-ins int and float.
The call x.is_integer() is now listed in the table of operations
which apply to all numeric types except complex, with a reference
to the full documentation for Real.is_integer(). Mention of
is_integer() has been removed from the section 'Additional Methods
on Float'.
The documentation for Real.is_integer() describes its purpose, and
mentions that it should be overridden for performance reasons, or
to handle special values like NaN.
* bpo-26680: Adds Decimal.is_integer to the Python and C implementations.
The C implementation of Decimal already implements and uses
mpd_isinteger internally, we just expose the existing function to
Python.
The Python implementation uses internal conversion to integer
using to_integral_value().
In both cases, the corresponding context methods are also
implemented.
Tests and documentation are included.
* bpo-26680: Updates the ACKS file.
* bpo-26680: NEWS entries for int, the numeric ABCs and Decimal.
