Deprecated passing the following arguments as keyword arguments:
- "func" in functools.partialmethod(), weakref.finalize(),
profile.Profile.runcall(), cProfile.Profile.runcall(),
bdb.Bdb.runcall(), trace.Trace.runfunc() and
curses.wrapper().
- "function" in unittest.addModuleCleanup() and
unittest.TestCase.addCleanup().
- "fn" in the submit() method of concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor
and concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor.
- "callback" in contextlib.ExitStack.callback(),
contextlib.AsyncExitStack.callback() and
contextlib.AsyncExitStack.push_async_callback().
- "c" and "typeid" in the create() method of multiprocessing.managers.Server
and multiprocessing.managers.SharedMemoryServer.
- "obj" in weakref.finalize().
Also allowed to pass arbitrary keyword arguments (even "self" and "func")
if the above arguments are passed as positional argument.
* subprocess.Popen can now also use os.posix_spawn() with pipes,
but only if pipe file descriptors are greater than 2.
* Fix Popen._posix_spawn(): set '_child_created' attribute to True.
* Add Popen._close_pipe_fds() helper function to factorize the code.
* The PyByteArray_Init() and PyByteArray_Fini() functions have been
removed. They did nothing since Python 2.7.4 and Python 3.2.0, were
excluded from the limited API (stable ABI), and were not
documented.
* Move "_PyXXX_Init()" and "_PyXXX_Fini()" declarations from
Include/cpython/pylifecycle.h to
Include/internal/pycore_pylifecycle.h. Replace
"PyAPI_FUNC(TYPE)" with "extern TYPE".
* _PyExc_Init() now returns an error on failure rather than calling
Py_FatalError(). Move macros inside _PyExc_Init() and undefine them
when done. Rewrite macros to make them look more like statement:
add ";" when using them, add "do { ... } while (0)".
* _PyUnicode_Init() now returns a _PyInitError error rather than call
Py_FatalError().
* Move stdin check from _PySys_BeginInit() to init_sys_streams().
* _Py_ReadyTypes() now returns a _PyInitError error rather than
calling Py_FatalError().
While the introduction of ModuleNotFoundError was fully backwards
compatible on the import API consumer side, folks providing alternative
implementations of `__import__` need to make an update to be
forward compatible with clients that start relying on the new subclass.

The subprocess module can now use the os.posix_spawn() function
in some cases for better performance. Currently, it is only used on macOS
and Linux (using glibc 2.24 or newer) if all these conditions are met:
* executable path contains a directory
* close_fds=False
* preexec_fn, pass_fds, cwd, stdin, stdout, stderr
and start_new_session parameters are not set
