Reflecting changes to the code, removed weakref.ReferenceError from weakref.rst and exceptions.rst.
Issue submitter provided evidence that the `weakref.ReferenceError` alias for `ReferenceError` was removed from the code in 2007. Working with @gvanrossum at PyCascades CPython sprint we looked at the code and confirmed that `weakref.ReferenceError` was no longer in `weakref.py`.
Based on that analysis I removed references `weakref.ReferenceError` from the two documents where it was still being referenced: `weakref.rst` and `exceptions.rst`.

From the source for `PyUnicode_Decode`, the implementation is:
```
if (encoding == NULL) {
return PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful(s, size, errors, NULL);
}
```
which is pretty clearly not defaulting to ASCII.

* Update mmap readline method documentation
Update mmap `readline` method description. The fact that the `readline` method does update the file position should not be ignored since this might give the impression for the programmer that it doesn't update it.

While `unittest.mock.patch` is a great thing, it is not straightforward.
If it were straightforward there wouldn't be such a huge amount of
documentation for it, and frankly, when myself and others who I've
read about often struggle to figure out what on earth `patch()` wants,
coming to the docs to read that it's straightforward is not helpful.
Minor fix in documentation:
- `sys.__unraisablehook__` is new in version 3.8
- Optional `sep` and `bytes_per_sep` parameters for `bytearray.hex` is also supported in Python 3.8 (just like `bytes.hex`)
Fix regression in fractions.Fraction if the numerator and/or the
denominator is an int subclass. The math.gcd() function is now
used to normalize the numerator and denominator. math.gcd() always
return a int type. Previously, the GCD type depended on numerator
and denominator.
* Add backcompat defines and move non-limited API declaration to cpython/
This partially reverts commit 2ff58a24e8
which added PyObject_CallNoArgs to the 3.9+ stable ABI. This should not
be done; there are enough other call APIs in the stable ABI to choose from.
* Adjust documentation
Mark all newly public functions as added in 3.9.
Add a note about the 3.8 provisional names.
Add notes on public API.
* Put PyObject_CallNoArgs back in the limited API
* Rename PyObject_FastCallDict to PyObject_VectorcallDict
* bpo-39491: Merge PEP 593 (typing.Annotated) support
PEP 593 has been accepted some time ago. I got a green light for merging
this from Till, so I went ahead and combined the code contributed to
typing_extensions[1] and the documentation from the PEP 593 text[2].
My changes were limited to:
* removing code designed for typing_extensions to run on older Python
versions
* removing some irrelevant parts of the PEP text when copying it over as
documentation and otherwise changing few small bits to better serve
the purpose
* changing the get_type_hints signature to match reality (parameter
names)
I wasn't entirely sure how to go about crediting the authors but I used
my best judgment, let me know if something needs changing in this
regard.

PyThreadState.on_delete is a callback used to notify Python when a
thread completes. _thread._set_sentinel() function creates a lock
which is released when the thread completes. It sets on_delete
callback to the internal release_sentinel() function. This lock is
known as Threading._tstate_lock in the threading module.
The release_sentinel() function uses the Python C API. The problem is
that on_delete is called late in the Python finalization, when the C
API is no longer fully working.
The PyThreadState_Clear() function now calls the
PyThreadState.on_delete callback. Previously, that happened in
PyThreadState_Delete().
The release_sentinel() function is now called when the C API is still
fully working.
Replace a few Py_FatalError() calls if tstate is NULL with
assert(tstate != NULL) in ceval.c.
PyEval_AcquireThread(), PyEval_ReleaseThread() and
PyEval_RestoreThread() must never be called with a NULL tstate.
Some of the *SetItem methods in the C API steal a reference to the
given value. This annotates the better behaved ones to assure the
reader that these are not the ones with the inconsistent behaviour.

* Change the source for the SAT data to a primary source.
* Fix typo in the standard deviation
* Clarify that the binomial probabalities are just for the Python room.
Whether or not overlap regions for self-intersecting polygons
or multiple shapes are filled depends on the operating system graphics,
typeof overlap, and number of overlaps.
* Add DICT_UPDATE and DICT_MERGE bytecodes. Use them for ** unpacking.

* Update magic number for ** unpacking opcodes.
* Update dis.rst to incorporate new bytecodes.
* Add blurb entry.
The os.putenv() and os.unsetenv() functions are now always available.
On non-Windows platforms, Python now requires setenv() and unsetenv()

Remove putenv_dict from posixmodule.c: it's not longer needed.
* Add three new bytecodes: LIST_TO_TUPLE, LIST_EXTEND, SET_UPDATE. Use them to implement star unpacking expressions.
* Remove four bytecodes BUILD_LIST_UNPACK, BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK, BUILD_SET_UNPACK and BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK_WITH_CALL opcodes as they are now unused.
* Update magic number and dis.rst for new bytecodes.
Deprecate binhex4 and hexbin4 standards. Deprecate the binhex module
and the following binascii functions:
* b2a_hqx(), a2b_hqx()
* rlecode_hqx(), rledecode_hqx()
* crc_hqx()
Remove the buffering parameter of bz2.BZ2File. Since Python 3.0, it
was ignored and using it was emitting a DeprecationWarning. Pass an
open file object to control how the file is opened.
The compresslevel parameter becomes keyword-only.
Remove base64.encodestring() and base64.decodestring(), aliases
deprecated since Python 3.1: use base64.encodebytes() and
base64.decodebytes() instead.
The previous double colon was wrongly place directly after Therefore.
Which produced a block without syntax highlighting. This fixes it
by separating the double colon from the text. As a result, sphinx now
properly highlights the python code.

pstats is really useful or profiling and printing the output of the execution of some block of code, but I've found on multiple occasions when I'd like to access this output directly in an easily usable dictionary on which I can further analyze or manipulate.
The proposal is to add a function called get_profile_dict inside of pstats that'll automatically return this data the data in an easily accessible dict.
The output of the following script:
```
import cProfile, pstats
import pprint
from pstats import func_std_string, f8
def fib(n):
if n == 0:
return 0
if n == 1:
return 1
return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
pr = cProfile.Profile()
pr.enable()
fib(5)
pr.create_stats()
ps = pstats.Stats(pr).sort_stats('tottime', 'cumtime')
def get_profile_dict(self, keys_filter=None):
"""

with the following keys:
- ncalls

keys_filter can be optionally set to limit the key-value pairs in the
retrieved dict.

pstats_dict = {}
func_list = self.fcn_list[:] if self.fcn_list else list(self.stats.keys())
if not func_list:
return pstats_dict
pstats_dict["total_tt"] = float(f8(self.total_tt))
for func in func_list:
cc, nc, tt, ct, callers = self.stats[func]
file, line, func_name = func
ncalls = str(nc) if nc == cc else (str(nc) + '/' + str(cc))
tottime = float(f8(tt))
percall_tottime = -1 if nc == 0 else float(f8(tt/nc))
cumtime = float(f8(ct))
percall_cumtime = -1 if cc == 0 else float(f8(ct/cc))
func_dict = {
"ncalls": ncalls,

pstats_dict[func_name] = func_dict_filtered
return pstats_dict
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(depth=6)
pp.pprint(get_profile_dict(ps))

will produce:

`time.clock()` was removed in Python 3.8, but it was still mentioned
in the documentation for when `time.get_clock_info()` is given the
argument `'clock'`. This commit removes that mention.
The added parentheses around the PyIter_Next assignment suppress the following warning which gcc throws without:
```
warning: using the result of an assignment as a condition without parentheses [-Wparentheses]
```
The other change is a typo fix
When checking `setup.py` and when the `author` field was provided, but
the `author_email` field was missing, erroneously a warning message was
displayed that the `author_email` field is required.
The specs do not require the `author_email`field:
https://packaging.python.org/specifications/core-metadata/#author
The same is valid for `maintainer` and `maintainer_email`.
The warning message has been adjusted.

Add ast.unparse() as a function in the ast module that can be used to unparse an
ast.AST object and produce a string with code that would produce an equivalent ast.AST
object when parsed.
Extra newlines are removed at the end of non-shell files. If the file only has newlines after stripping other trailing whitespace, all are removed, as is done by patchcheck.py.
new_interpreter() now calls _PyBuiltin_Init() to create the builtins
module and calls _PyImport_FixupBuiltin(), rather than using
_PyImport_FindBuiltin(tstate, "builtins").
pycore_init_builtins() is now responsible to initialize
intepr->builtins_copy: inline _PyImport_Init() and remove this
function.
The Y2K reference is not needed as it only points out that Python's use

This exposes a Linux-specific syscall for sending a signal to a process
identified by a file descriptor rather than a pid.
For simplicity, we don't support the siginfo_t parameter to the syscall. This
parameter allows implementing a pidfd version of rt_sigqueueinfo(2), which
Python also doesn't support.
The C-API docs are a bit sparse on the interplay between C `fork()` and the CPython runtime. This change adds some more information on the subject.

bpo-3605, bpo-38733: Optimize _PyErr_Occurred(): remove "tstate ==

Py_FatalError() no longer calls PyErr_Occurred() if called without

tstate==NULL case.
_Py_CheckFunctionResult(): use directly _PyErr_Occurred() to avoid
explicit "!= NULL" test.
Additional note: the `method_check_args` function in `Objects/descrobject.c` is written in such a way that it applies to all kinds of descriptors. In particular, a future re-implementation of `wrapper_descriptor` could use that code.
