This is the implementation of PEP683
Motivation:
The PR introduces the ability to immortalize instances in CPython which bypasses reference counting. Tagging objects as immortal allows up to skip certain operations when we know that the object will be around for the entire execution of the runtime.
Note that this by itself will bring a performance regression to the runtime due to the extra reference count checks. However, this brings the ability of having truly immutable objects that are useful in other contexts such as immutable data sharing between sub-interpreters.
Remove the distutils package. It was deprecated in Python 3.10 by PEP
632 "Deprecate distutils module". For projects still using distutils
and cannot be updated to something else, the setuptools project can
be installed: it still provides distutils.
* Remove Lib/distutils/ directory
* Remove test_distutils
* Remove references to distutils
* Skip test_check_c_globals and test_peg_generator since they use
distutils
The Python test suite now fails wit exit code 4 if no tests ran. It
should help detecting typos in test names and test methods.
* Add "EXITCODE_" constants to Lib/test/libregrtest/main.py.
* Fix a typo: "NO TEST RUN" becomes "NO TESTS RAN"
On Windows, when the Python test suite is run with the -jN option,
the ANSI code page is now used as the encoding for the stdout
temporary file, rather than using UTF-8 which can lead to decoding
errors.
- Emscripten's default umask is too strict, see
https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/17269
- getuid/getgid and geteuid/getegid are stubs that always return 0
(root). Disable effective uid/gid syscalls and fix tests that use
chmod() current user.
- Cannot drop X bit from directory.
regrtest now also implements checking for leaked temporary files and
directories when using -jN for N >= 2. Use tempfile.mkdtemp() to
create the temporary directory. Skip this check on WASI.
When running tests with -jN, create a temporary directory per process
and mark a test as "environment changed" if a test leaks a temporary
file or directory.
Replace the child process `typeperf.exe` with a daemon thread that reads the performance counters directly. This prevents the issues that arise from inherited handles in grandchild processes (see issue37531 for discussion).
We only use the load tracker when running tests in multiprocess mode. This prevents inadvertent interactions with tests expecting a single threaded environment. Displaying load is really only helpful for buildbots running in multiprocess mode anyway.
Remove the asyncore and asynchat modules, deprecated in Python
3.6: use the asyncio module instead.
Remove the smtpd module, deprecated in Python 3.6: the aiosmtpd
module can be used instead, it is based on asyncio.
* Remove asyncore, asynchat and smtpd documentation
* Remove test_asyncore, test_asynchat and test_smtpd
* Rename Lib/asynchat.py to Lib/test/support/_asynchat.py
* Rename Lib/asyncore.py to Lib/test/support/_asyncore.py
* Rename Lib/smtpd.py to Lib/test/support/_smtpd.py
* Remove DeprecationWarning from private _asyncore, _asynchat and
_smtpd modules
* _smtpd: remove deprecated properties
Remove the --findleaks command line option of regrtest: use the
--fail-env-changed option instead. Since Python 3.7, it was a
deprecated alias to the --fail-env-changed option.
support.print_warning() now stores the original value of
sys.__stderr__ and uses it to log warnings. libregrtest uses the same
stream to log unraisable exceptions and uncaught threading
exceptions.
Partially revert commit dbe213de7ef28712bbfdb9d94a33abb9c33ef0c2:
libregrtest no longer replaces sys.__stdout__, sys.__stderr__, and
stdout and stderr file descriptors.
Remove also a few unused imports in libregrtest.
libregrtest -W/--verbose3 now also replace sys.__stdout__,
sys.__stderr__, and stdout and stderr file descriptors (fd 1 and fd
2).
support.print_warning() messages are now logged in the expected
order.
The "./python -m test test_eintr -W" command no longer logs into
stdout if the test pass.
When libregrtest spawns a worker process, stderr is now written into
stdout to keep messages order. Use a single pipe for stdout and
stderr, rather than two pipes. Previously, messages were out of order
which made analysis of buildbot logs harder
libregrtest now clears the type cache later to reduce the risk of
false alarm when checking for reference leaks. Previously, the type
cache was cleared too early and libregrtest raised a false alarm
about reference leaks under very specific conditions.
Move also support.gc_collect() outside clear/cleanup functions to
make the garbage collection more explicit.

* Move to a static argparse.Namespace subclass
* Roughly annotate runtest.py
* Refactor libregrtest to use lossless test result objects
* Only re-run test methods that match names of previously failing test methods
* Adopt tests to cover test method name matching

* Add co_firstinstr field to code object.
* Implement barebones quickening.
* Use non-quickened bytecode when tracing.
* Add NEWS item
* Add new file to Windows build.
* Don't specialize instructions with EXTENDED_ARG.
test.libregrtest now marks a test as ENV_CHANGED (altered the
execution environment) if a thread raises an exception but does not
catch it. It sets a hook on threading.excepthook. Use
--fail-env-changed option to mark the test as failed.
libregrtest regrtest_unraisable_hook() explicitly flushs
sys.stdout, sys.stderr and sys.__stderr__.
RegressionTestResult.USE_XML must now be set to True to get the JUnit
XML output.
Reduce the number of imports when --junit-xml=FILE option is not
used: 153 => 144 (-9).
Move clear_caches() from libregrtest.refleak to libregrtest.utils to
avoid importing libregrtest.refleak when it's not needed.
clear_caches() now only calls re.purge() if 're' is in sys.modules.
Reduce the number of modules imported by libregrtest.
saved_test_environment no longer imports modules at startup, but try
to get them from sys.modules. If an module is missing, skip the test.
It also sets directly support.environment_altered.
runtest() now now two saved_test_environment instances: one before
importing the test module, one after importing it.
Remove imports from test.libregrtest.save_env:
* asyncio
* logging
* multiprocessing
* shutil
* sysconfig
* urllib.request
* warnings
When a test method imports a module (ex: warnings) and the test
has a side effect (ex: add a warnings filter), the side effect is not
detected, because the module was not imported when Python
enters the saved_test_environment context manager.
