bpo-39395: putenv() and unsetenv() always available (GH-18135)
The os.putenv() and os.unsetenv() functions are now always available.

On non-Windows platforms, Python now requires setenv() and unsetenv()
functions to build.

Remove putenv_dict from posixmodule.c: it's not longer needed.

Oz N Tiram fad8b5674c bpo-39348: Fix code highlight for the SOCK_NONBLOCK example (GH-18018)
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.

Daniel Olshansky 01602ae403 bpo-37958: Adding get_profile_dict to pstats (GH-15495)
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):
    """
        Returns a dict where the key is a function name and the value is a dict
        with the following keys:
            - ncalls
            - tottime
            - percall_tottime
            - cumtime
            - percall_cumtime
            - file_name
            - line_number

        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,
            "tottime": tottime, # time spent in this function alone
            "percall_tottime": percall_tottime,
            "cumtime": cumtime, # time spent in the function plus all functions that this function called,
            "percall_cumtime": percall_cumtime,
            "file_name": file,
            "line_number": line
        }
        func_dict_filtered = func_dict if not keys_filter else { key: func_dict[key] for key in keys_filter }
        pstats_dict[func_name] = func_dict_filtered

    return pstats_dict

pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(depth=6)
pp.pprint(get_profile_dict(ps))
```

will produce:

```

 As an example, this can be used to generate a stacked column chart using various visualization tools which will assist in easily identifying program bottlenecks.

When checking `setup.py` and when the `author` field was provided, but

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.

David K a12255d8de bpo-38421: Update email.utils documentation (GH-16678)
Updates documentation around email.utils.parsedate_tz().

Currently, the documentation specifies that when a string without a is timezone passed to parsedate_tz(), the last tuple is returned as ```None```.

This is no longer true since Python 3.3

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

Py_FatalError() no longer calls PyErr_Occurred() if called without
holding the GIL. So PyErr_Occurred() no longer has to support
tstate==NULL case.

_Py_CheckFunctionResult(): use directly _PyErr_Occurred() to avoid
explicit "!= NULL" test.

Maxwell A McKinnon cf57cabef8 bpo-32689: Updates shutil.move to allow for Path objects to be used as source arg (GH-15326)
Important work originally done by @emilyemorehouse two years ago and nearly ready to go in.

This bug has affected many people and in some cases has been a dealbreaker to the adoption of the otherwise wonderful pathlib and PEP519. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33625931/copy-file-with-pathlib-in-python.

This adds the outstanding test request from that PR @vstinner (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5393).

Test fails without the change, passes with it, along with every other test in test_shutil.

Some variants were experimented with to make the one line change and the most performant one was picked.

# Performance Considerations
Is it considered poor form to get rid of _basename altogether and make use of pathlib in the move function? I'm not sure if the idea is for all these modules to strictly avoid circular dependencies. They are already using os.path which is just as much a citizen in 3.8 as pathlib right?

e.g.

`real_dst = os.path.join(dst, _basename(src))`
becomes
`real_dst = Path(dst) / Path(src).name`

I've looked around and familiarized myself, and I now think importing pathlib here is fine. My only remaining concern is that of performance.

Here's the performance difference for this step. 

```
In [46]: %timeit real_dst = os.path.join("a/b/c", _basename('b/'))
2.71 µs ± 62.6 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)

In [47]: %timeit real_dst = Path("a/b/c") / Path('b/').name
12.4 µs ± 65.3 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)
```

Is 10us significant or insignificant compared to the least expensive operation this function will do? I don't know. Let's find out.

```
In [55]: %timeit os.rename('/tmp/a/a.txt', '/tmp/a/b.txt'); os.rename('/tmp/a/b.txt', '/tmp/a/a.txt')
124 µs ± 2.18 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
```
62us to rename. 10us seems significant enough that we wouldn't want to favor the Path sugar suggestion. 16% speed decrease from adding the 10us.

What do people think? I was hoping to get to use pathlib.Path here, but I suspect for this low level move, it should be as fast as possible, and 16% is not worth one line of sugary code to me.

Lumír 'Frenzy' Balhar 8e7bb991de bpo-38112: Compileall improvements (GH-16012)
* Raise the limit of maximum path depth to actual  recursion limit

* Add posibilities to adjust a path compiled in .pyc  file.

Now, you can:
- Strip a part of path from a beggining of path into compiled file
   example "-s /test /test/build/real/test.py" → "build/real/test.py"
- Append some new path to a beggining of path into compiled file
   example "-p /boo real/test.py" → "/boo/real/test.py"

You can also use both options in the same time. In that case,
striping is done before appending.

* Add a possibility to specify multiple optimization levels

Each optimization level then leads to separated compiled file.
Use `action='append'` instead of `nargs='+'` for the -o option.
Instead of `-o 0 1 2`, specify `-o 0 -o 1 -o 2`. It's more to type,
but much more explicit.

* Add a symlinks limitation feature

This feature allows us to limit byte-compilation of symbolic
links if they are pointing outside specified dir (build root
for example).

Kyle Stanley ff603f6c3d bpo-37635: Update arg name for seek() in IO tutorial (GH-16147)
Typically, the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is *whence*. That is the POSIX standard name (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/lseek.3p.html) and the name listed in the documentation for ``io`` module (https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase.seek). 

The tutorial for IO is the only location where the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is referred to as *from_what*. I suspect this was created at an early point in Python's history, and was never updated (as this section predates the GitHub repository):

```
$ git grep "from_what"
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:To change the file object's position, use ``f.seek(offset, from_what)``.  The position is computed
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the *from_what* argument.  A *from_what* value of 0 measures from the beginning
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the reference point.  *from_what* can be omitted and defaults to 0, using the
```

For consistency, I am suggesting that the tutorial be updated to use the same argument name as the IO documentation and POSIX standard for ``seek()``, particularly since this is the only location where *from_what* is being used.

Note: In the POSIX standard, *whence* is technically the third positional argument, but the first argument *fildes* (file descriptor) is implicit in Python.

without having to use a preexec_fn.

This also adds a `group` parameter that will call setregid() in

Finally an `extra_groups` parameter was added that will call
setgroups() to set the supplimental groups.
