Fix broken links and improve stand-alone tools list in FAQ GH-22124 2021-04-25 18:10:05 -07:00

Remove all links to mingw.org (GH-24552)
This lease on this domain has lapsed. This not only makes these dead links, but a potential attack vector for readers of python.org as the domain can be obtained by an untrustworthy party.


I considered redirecting these links to http://mingw-w64.org/ which is a maintained fork of mingw, but beyond my unfamiliarity with the exact level of compatibility, at the time of this PR that site had an expired cert and so is not much of a vulnerability fix.

bpo-42236: Enhance init and encoding documentation (GH-23109)
Enhance the documentation of the Python startup, filesystem encoding
and error handling, locale encoding. Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode"
section.

* Add "locale encoding" and "filesystem encoding and error handler"
  to the glossary
* Remove documentation from Include/cpython/initconfig.h: move it to
  Doc/c-api/init_config.rst.
* Doc/c-api/init_config.rst:

  * Document command line options and environment variables
  * Document default values.

* Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode" section in Doc/library/os.rst.
* Add warnings to Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() docs.
* Document how Python selects the filesystem encoding and error
  handler at a single place: PyConfig.filesystem_encoding and
  PyConfig.filesystem_errors.
* PyConfig: move orig_argv member at the right place.
