Improved Modules
================
* Different constants of :mod:`signal` module are now enumeration values using
the :mod:`enum` module. This allows meaningful names to be printed during
debugging, instead of integer “magic numbers”. (contribute by Giampaolo
Rodola' in :issue:`21076`)
doctest
-------
* :class:`xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy` is now a :term:`context manager`
(contributed by Claudiu Popa in :issue:`20627`).
* :func:`doctest.DocTestSuite` returns an empty :class:`unittest.TestSuite` if
*module* contains no docstrings instead of raising :exc:`ValueError`
(contributed by Glenn Jones in :issue:`15916`).
importlib
---------
* :class:`importlib.util.LazyLoader` allows for the lazy loading of modules in
applications where startup time is paramount (contributed by Brett Cannon in
:issue:`17621`).
* :func:`importlib.abc.InspectLoader.source_to_code` is now a
static method to make it easier to work with source code in a string.
With a module object that you want to initialize you can then use
``exec(code, module.__dict__)`` to execute the code in the module.
inspect
-------
* :class:`inspect.Signature` and :class:`inspect.Parameter` are now
picklable and hashable (contributed by Yury Selivanov in :issue:`20726`

Optimizations
=============
Major performance enhancements have been added:
The following performance enhancements have been added:
* Construction of ``bytes(int)`` and ``bytearray(int)`` (filled by zero bytes)
is faster and use less memory (until the bytearray buffer is filled with
