Similarly to how several pathlib file creation functions have an "exists_ok" parameter, we should introduce "missing_ok" that makes removal functions not raise an exception when a file or directory is already absent. IMHO, this should cover Path.unlink and Path.rmdir. Note, Path.resolve() has a "strict" parameter since 3.6 that does the same thing. Naming this of this new parameter tries to be consistent with the "exists_ok" parameter as that is more explicit about what it does (as opposed to "strict").

Plistlib currently throws an exception when asked to decode a valid
.plist file that was generated by Apple's NSKeyedArchiver. Specifically,
this is caused by a byte 0x80 (signifying a UID) not being understood.
This fixes the problem by enabling the binary plist reader and writer
to read and write plistlib.UID objects.
Removes more legacy distutils documentation, and more clearly
marks what is left as potentially outdated, with references to
setuptools as a replacement.
* Docs: Add bz2 usage examples
- Adds an "Examples of usage" section inspired by the one
found in the gzip docs
- Corrects the descriptions for ``compresslevel`` and ``data``:
- ``compresslevel`` must be an `int`, not any number. For
instance, passing a float will raise ``TypeError``
- Notes that `data` must be bytes-like
Remove the PyEval_ReInitThreads() function from the Python C API.
It should not be called explicitly: use PyOS_AfterFork_Child()
instead.
Rename PyEval_ReInitThreads() to _PyEval_ReInitThreads() and add a
'runtime' parameter.
If a "=" is specified a the end of an f-string expression, the f-string will evaluate to the text of the expression, followed by '=', followed by the repr of the value of the expression.
Allow reduction methods to return a 6-item tuple where the 6th item specifies a
custom state-setting method that's called instead of the regular
``__setstate__`` method.

Added two keyword arguments, `delay` and `interleave`, to
`BaseEventLoop.create_connection`. Happy eyeballs is activated if
`delay` is specified.
We now have documentation for the new arguments. `staggered_race()` is in its own module, but not exported to the main asyncio package.

Given example does not run, loop variable is missing.
Secondly, this is bad example how to handle shutdown signal, because it would cause `RuntimeError: Event loop stopped before Future completed.`
Perhaps it would be better to cancel all tasks instead of closing loop directly?
Did not create issue, because question is quite simple.
Prefer the full wording instead, as it is more meaningful for someone not familiar with the terms.
Also, LFS/RHS is not used anywhere else in the documentation, while left/right-hand side mentions are common.
* Implement C14N 2.0 as a new canonicalize() function in ElementTree.
Missing features:
- prefix renaming in XPath expressions (tag and attribute text is supported)
- preservation of original prefixes given redundant namespace declarations
* bpo-36673: Implement comment/PI parsing support for the TreeBuilder in ElementTree.
* bpo-36673: Rewrite the comment/PI factory handling for the TreeBuilder in "_elementtree" to make it use the same factories as the ElementTree module, and to make it explicit when the comments/PIs are inserted into the tree and when they are not (which is the default).
PyEval_AcquireLock() and PyEval_AcquireThread() now
terminate the current thread if called while the interpreter is
finalizing, making them consistent with PyEval_RestoreThread(),
Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS, and PyGILState_Ensure().
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.
Document that subprocess.Popen no longer raise an exception on error
like missing program on very specific platforms when using
os.posix_spawn() is used.
Release build and debug build are now ABI compatible: the Py_DEBUG
define no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS define which introduces the
only ABI incompatibility.
A new "./configure --with-trace-refs" build option is now required to
get Py_TRACE_REFS define which adds sys.getobjects() function and
PYTHONDUMPREFS environment variable.
Changes:
* Add ./configure --with-trace-refs
* Py_DEBUG no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS
# [bpo-36651](https://bugs.python.org/issue36651): Fixed Asyncio Event Loop documentation inconsistency
In the documentation for the call_later and the call_at methods there is a note which says that the delay cannot be longer than a day, but both methods have a note saying that this limitation was removed in Python 3.8
Here I fixed this issue by removing the pre-exising note and added a versionchanged.
To test my changes I have rebuilt the documentation with ```make html```. I did not have any errors and the effected page displayed correctly on a browser.

The imap.IMAP4.logout() method no longer ignores silently arbitrary
exceptions.
Changes:
* The IMAP4.logout() method now expects a "BYE" untagged response,
rather than relying on _check_bye() which raises a self.abort()
exception.
* IMAP4.__exit__() now does nothing if the client already logged out.
* Add more debug info if test_logout() tests fail.
Add new keyword arguments "default_namespace" and "xml_declaration" to functions ET.tostring() and ET.tostringlist(), as known from ElementTree.write().
Calling these function from a thread when the runtime is finalizing will terminate
the thread, even if the thread was not created by Python. Users can use
_Py_IsFinalizing or sys.is_finalizing to check if the interpreter is in the process of
being finalized before calling this function to avoid unwanted termination.
For BufferedReader and BufferedWriter, seek and tell operations are
optional (they may or may not exist based on the underlying stream). For
BufferedRandom, they are mandatory: a BufferedRandom should not be
constructed over an unseekable underlying stream. Document this.
In development mode (-X dev) and in debug build, the io.IOBase
destructor now logs close() exceptions. These exceptions are silent
by default in release mode.
On AIX, sys.platform doesn't contain the major version anymore.
Always return 'aix', instead of 'aix3' .. 'aix7'. Since
older Python versions include the version number, it is recommended to
always use sys.platform.startswith('aix').
Modify CLEANBYTE, DEADDYTE and FORBIDDENBYTE constants: use 0xCD,
0xDD and 0xFD, rather than 0xCB, 0xBB and 0xFB, to use the same byte
patterns than Windows CRT debug malloc() and free().
Move all documentation regarding the readinto method into either io.RawIOBase or io.BufferedIOBase.
Corresponding changes to documentation in the _pyio.py module.
It turns out doing socket.listen(0) does not equal to "choose a
reasonable default". It actually means "set backlog to 0".
As such set backlog=None as the default for socket.create_server.
Fixes the following BB failures:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/11784#issuecomment-481036369
Ref. BPO-1756, GH-11784.
I have added documentation for `PyInterpreterState_Main()`.
I chose to place it under Advanced Debugger Support together with similar functions like `PyInterpreterState_Head()`, `PyInterpreterState_Next(`), and `PyInterpreterState_ThreadHead()` .

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

- "obj" in weakref.finalize().
Also allowed to pass arbitrary keyword arguments (even "self" and "func")

Examples of the `multiprocessing.shared_memory` module try to import `SharedMemoryManager` from `multiprocessing.shared_memory` whereas this class is defined in `multiprocessing.managers`.
Clarify capturing or suppressing stdout and stderr on the old call APIs.
Do not state that they are equivalent to run() calls when they are not implemented using run as that was misleading. Unlike run they cannot handle stdout or stderr being set to PIPE without a risk of deadlock.
Clarify that the naming of protocol handler methods shouldn't be literally called "protocol" but should be named after the actual protocol.
