new_interpreter() now calls _PySys_Create() to create a new sys
module isolated from the main interpreter. It now calls
_PySys_InitCore() and _PyImport_FixupBuiltin().
init_interp_main() now calls _PySys_InitMain().
Add PyInterpreterState.runtime field: reference to the _PyRuntime
global variable. This field exists to not have to pass runtime in
addition to tstate to a function. Get runtime from tstate:
tstate->interp->runtime.
Remove "_PyRuntimeState *runtime" parameter from functions already
taking a "PyThreadState *tstate" parameter.
_PyGC_Init() first parameter becomes "PyThreadState *tstate".
Fix warnings options priority: PyConfig.warnoptions has the highest
priority, as stated in the PEP 587.
* Document options order in PyConfig.warnoptions documentation.
* Make PyWideStringList_INIT macro private: replace "Py" prefix
with "_Py".
* test_embed: add test_init_warnoptions().
In ArgumentClinic, value "NULL" should now be used only for unrepresentable default values
(like in the optional third parameter of getattr). "None" should be used if None is accepted
as argument and passing None has the same effect as not passing the argument at all.
PyConfig_Read() is now responsible to handle early calls to
PySys_AddXOption() and PySys_AddWarnOption().
Options added by PySys_AddXOption() are now handled the same way than
PyConfig.xoptions and command line -X options.
For example, PySys_AddXOption(L"faulthandler") enables faulthandler
as expected.
empty_argv is no longer static in Python 3.8, but it is declared in
a temporary scope, whereas argv keeps a reference to it.
empty_argv memory (allocated on the stack) is reused by
make_sys_argv() code which is inlined when using gcc -O3.
Define empty_argv in PySys_SetArgvEx() body, to ensure
that it remains valid for the whole lifetime of
the PySys_SetArgvEx() call.
sys._base_executable is now always defined on all platforms, and can be overridden through configuration.
Also adds test.support.PythonSymlink to encapsulate platform-specific logic for symlinking sys.executable
Remove the undocumented sys.callstats() function. Since Python 3.7,
it was deprecated and always returned None. It required a special
build option CALL_PROFILE which was already removed in Python 3.7.
Remove sys.getcheckinterval() and sys.setcheckinterval() functions.
They were deprecated since Python 3.2. Use sys.getswitchinterval()
and sys.setswitchinterval() instead.
Remove also check_interval field of the PyInterpreterState structure.
* Replace global var Py_VerboseFlag with interp->config.verbose.
* Add _PyErr_NoMemory(tstate) function.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyEval_SetCoroutineOriginTrackingDepth()
and move the function to the internal API.
* Replace _PySys_InitMain(runtime, interp)
with _PySys_InitMain(runtime, tstate).
It has been documented as deprecated and to be removed in 3.8;
From a comment on another thread – which I can't find ; leave get_coro_wrapper() for now, but always return `None`.

* sys.unraisablehook: add 'err_msg' field to UnraisableHookArgs.
* Use _PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg() in _ctypes _DictRemover_call()
and gc delete_garbage().
Add new sys.unraisablehook() function which can be overridden to
control how "unraisable exceptions" are handled. It is called when an
exception has occurred but there is no way for Python to handle it.
For example, when a destructor raises an exception or during garbage
collection (gc.collect()).
Changes:
* Add an internal UnraisableHookArgs type used to pass arguments to
sys.unraisablehook.
* Add _PyErr_WriteUnraisableDefaultHook().
* The default hook now ignores exception on writing the traceback.
* test_sys now uses unittest.main() to automatically discover tests:
remove test_main().
* Add _PyErr_Init().
* Fix PyErr_WriteUnraisable(): hold a strong reference to sys.stderr
while using it
_PyCoreConfig: Change filesystem_encoding, filesystem_errors,
stdio_encoding and stdio_errors fields type from char* to wchar_t*.
Changes:
* PyInterpreterState: replace fscodec_initialized (int) with fs_codec
structure.
* Add get_error_handler_wide() and unicode_encode_utf8() helper
functions.
* Add error_handler parameter to unicode_encode_locale()
and unicode_decode_locale().
* Remove _PyCoreConfig_SetString().
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_SetWideString() to _PyCoreConfig_SetString().
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_SetWideStringFromString()
to _PyCoreConfig_DecodeLocale().
Py_InitializeEx() now uses a runtime variable passed to subfunctions,
rather than working directly on the global variable _PyRuntime.
Add 'runtime' parameter to _PyCoreConfig_Write(), _PySys_Create(),
_PySys_InitMain(), _PyGILState_Init(),
emit_stderr_warning_for_legacy_locale() and other subfunctions.
At Python initialization, the current directory is no longer
prepended to sys.path if it has been removed.
Rename _PyPathConfig_ComputeArgv0() to
_PyPathConfig_ComputeSysPath0() to avoid confusion between argv[0]
and sys.path[0].
Replace messy _Py_wstrlist_xxx() functions with a new clean
_PyWstrList structure and new _PyWstrList_xxx() functions.
Changes:
* Add _PyCoreConfig.use_module_search_paths to decide if
_PyCoreConfig.module_search_paths should be computed or not, to
support empty search path list.
* _PyWstrList_Clear() sets length to 0 and items to NULL, whereas
_Py_wstrlist_clear() only freed memory.
* _PyWstrList_Append() returns an int, whereas _Py_wstrlist_append()
returned _PyInitError.
* _PyWstrList uses Py_ssize_t for the length, instead of int.
* Replace (int, wchar_t**) with _PyWstrList in:
* _PyPreConfig
* _PyCoreConfig
* _PyPreCmdline
* _PyCmdline
* Replace "int orig_argv; wchar_t **orig_argv;"
with "_PyWstrList orig_argv".
* _PyCmdline and _PyPreCmdline now also copy wchar_argv.
* Rename _PyArgv_Decode() to _PyArgv_AsWstrList().
* PySys_SetArgvEx() now pass the fixed (argc, argv) to
_PyPathConfig_ComputeArgv0() (don't pass negative argc or NULL
argv).
* _PyOS_GetOpt() uses Py_ssize_t
* Move 'allocator' and 'dev_mode' fields from _PyCoreConfig
to _PyPreConfig.
* Fix InitConfigTests of test_embed: dev_mode sets allocator to
"debug", add a new tests for env vars with dev mode enabled.
* Move following fields from _PyCoreConfig to _PyPreConfig:
* coerce_c_locale
* coerce_c_locale_warn
* legacy_windows_stdio
* utf8_mode
* _PyPreConfig_ReadFromArgv() is now responsible to choose the
filesystem encoding
* _PyPreConfig_Write() now sets the LC_CTYPE locale
* Add _PyPreConfig structure
* Move 'ignored' and 'use_environment' fields from _PyCoreConfig
to _PyPreConfig
* Add a new "_PyPreConfig preconfig;" field to _PyCoreConfig
Unicode version of Windows APIs are used in places, but not for GetVersionEx in Python/sysmodule.c
The wcstok_s is called on Windows in Modules/main.c and PC/launcher.c, but not in Python/pathconfig.c
LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress, FreeLibrary and GetModuleHandle acquire the system loader lock. Calling these while holding the GIL will cause a deadlock on the rare occasion that another thread is detaching and needs to destroy its thread state at the same time.
* The PyByteArray_Init() and PyByteArray_Fini() functions have been
removed. They did nothing since Python 2.7.4 and Python 3.2.0, were
excluded from the limited API (stable ABI), and were not
documented.
* Move "_PyXXX_Init()" and "_PyXXX_Fini()" declarations from
Include/cpython/pylifecycle.h to
Include/internal/pycore_pylifecycle.h. Replace
"PyAPI_FUNC(TYPE)" with "extern TYPE".
* _PyExc_Init() now returns an error on failure rather than calling
Py_FatalError(). Move macros inside _PyExc_Init() and undefine them
when done. Rewrite macros to make them look more like statement:
add ";" when using them, add "do { ... } while (0)".
* _PyUnicode_Init() now returns a _PyInitError error rather than call
Py_FatalError().
* Move stdin check from _PySys_BeginInit() to init_sys_streams().
* _Py_ReadyTypes() now returns a _PyInitError error rather than
calling Py_FatalError().
In _localemodule.c and selectmodule.c, remove dead code that would
cause double decrefs if run.
In addition, replace PyList_SetItem() with PyList_SET_ITEM() in cases
where a new list is populated and there is no possibility of an error.
In addition, check if the list changed size in the loop in array_array_fromlist().
