open(), io.open(), codecs.open() and fileinput.FileInput no longer
accept "U" ("universal newline") in the file mode. This flag was
deprecated since Python 3.3.
In ArgumentClinic, value "NULL" should now be used only for unrepresentable default values
(like in the optional third parameter of getattr). "None" should be used if None is accepted
as argument and passing None has the same effect as not passing the argument at all.
* Use the 'p' format unit instead of manually called PyObject_IsTrue().
* Pass boolean value instead 0/1 integers to functions that needs boolean.
* Convert some arguments to boolean only once.
If buffering=1 is specified for open() in binary mode, it is silently
treated as buffering=-1 (i.e., the default buffer size).
Coupled with the fact that line buffering is always supported in Python 2,
such behavior caused several issues (e.g., bpo-10344, bpo-21332).
Warn that line buffering is not supported if open() is called with
binary mode and buffering=1.
* Maintain a list of BufferedWriter objects. Flush them on exit.
In Python 3, the buffer and the underlying file object are separate
and so the order in which objects are finalized matters. This is
unlike Python 2 where the file and buffer were a single object and
finalization was done for both at the same time. In Python 3, if
the file is finalized and closed before the buffer then the data in
the buffer is lost.
This change adds a doubly linked list of open file buffers. An atexit
hook ensures they are flushed before proceeding with interpreter
shutdown. This is addition does not remove the need to properly close
files as there are other reasons why buffered data could get lost during
finalization.
Initial patch by Armin Rigo.
* Use weakref.WeakSet instead of WeakKeyDictionary.
* Simplify buffered double-linked list types.
* In _flush_all_writers(), suppress errors from flush().
* Remove NEWS entry, use blurb.
* Take more care when flushing file buffers from atexit.
The previous implementation was not careful enough to avoid
causing issues in multi-threaded cases. Check for buf->ok
and buf->finalizing before actually doing the flush. Also,
increase the refcnt to ensure the object does not disappear.

This changes the main documentation, doc strings, source code comments, and a
couple error messages in the test suite. In some cases the word was removed
or edited some other way to fix the grammar.
