We only statically initialize for core code and builtin modules. Extension modules still create
the tuple at runtime. We'll solve that part of interpreter isolation separately.
This change includes generated code. The non-generated changes are in:
* Tools/clinic/clinic.py
* Python/getargs.c
* Include/cpython/modsupport.h
* Makefile.pre.in (re-generate global strings after running clinic)
* very minor tweaks to Modules/_codecsmodule.c and Python/Python-tokenize.c
All other changes are generated code (clinic, global strings).
* Constructors of subclasses of some buitin classes (e.g. tuple, list,
frozenset) no longer accept arbitrary keyword arguments.
* Subclass of set can now define a __new__() method with additional
keyword parameters without overriding also __init__().
Previously, the result could have been an instance of a subclass of int.
Also revert bpo-26202 and make attributes start, stop and step of the range
object having exact type int.
Add private function _PyNumber_Index() which preserves the old behavior
of PyNumber_Index() for performance to use it in the conversion functions
like PyLong_AsLong().
* bpo-32492: 2.5x speed up in namedtuple attribute access using C fast path
* Add News entry
* fixup! bpo-32492: 2.5x speed up in namedtuple attribute access using C fast path
* Check for tuple in the __get__ of the new descriptor and don't cache the descriptor itself
* Don't inherit from property. Implement GC methods to handle __doc__
* Add a test for the docstring substitution in descriptors
* Update NEWS entry to reflect time against 3.7 branch
* Simplify implementation with argument clinic, better error messages, only __new__
* Use positional-only parameters for the __new__
* Use PyTuple_GET_SIZE and PyTuple_GET_ITEM to tighter the implementation of tuplegetterdescr_get
* Implement __set__ to make tuplegetter a data descriptor
* Use Py_INCREF now that we inline PyTuple_GetItem
* Apply the valid_index() function, saving one test
* Move Py_None test out of the critical path.
