and multiprocessing.Process constructors in order to override the
default behaviour of inheriting the daemonic property from the current

regression in _FileInFile which is used in file-like objects returned
by TarFile.extractfile(). The inefficient design of the
_FileInFile.read() method causes various dramatic side-effects and
errors:
- The data segment of a file member is read completely into memory
every(!) time a small block is accessed. This is not only slow
but may cause unexpected MemoryErrors with very large files.
- Reading members from compressed tar archives is even slower
because of the excessive backwards seeking which is done when the
same data segment is read over and over again.
- As a backwards seek on a TarFile opened in stream mode is not
possible, using extractfile() fails with a StreamError.
The module stored away the 'open' object as found in the global namespace
(which fell through to the built-in namespace) since it defined its own 'open'.
Problem is that if you reloaded the module it then grabbed the 'open' defined
in the previous load, leading to code that infinite recursed. Switched to
simply call builtins.open directly.
Various tests fail when run under coverage. A primary culprit is refcount tests
which fail as the counts are thrown off by the coverage code. A new decorator
-- test.support.refcount_test -- is used to decorate tests which test refcounts
and to skip them when running under coverage. Other tests simply fail because
of changes in the system (e.g., __local__ suddenly appearing).

called collections.abc, following the pattern used by importlib.abc. For
backwards compatibility, the names continue to also be imported into the
collections module.
Issue #11168: Remove filename debug variable from PyEval_EvalFrameEx().
It encoded the Unicode filename to UTF-8, but the encoding fails on
undecodable filename (on surrogate characters) which raises an unexpected
UnicodeEncodeError on recursion limit.
Issue #11187: Remove bootstrap code (use ASCII) of
PyUnicode_AsEncodedString(), it was replaced by a better fallback (use
the locale encoding) in PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault().
Prepare also empty sections in NEWS.
Many tests simply didn't care if they unset a pre-existing trace function. This
made test coverage impossible. This patch fixes various tests to put back any
pre-existing trace function. It also introduces test.support.no_tracing as a
decorator which will temporarily unset the trace function for tests which
simply fail otherwise.
Thanks to Kristian Vlaardingerbroek for helping to find the cause of various
trace function unsets.
