* Link to it in loop.call_soon() and in the "Concurrency and Multithreading" section

…choices' argument of 'argparse.ArgumentParser.add_argument'.
Here's a short first proposal of doc. enhancement addressing [bpo-41024]().

The PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro must now be defined to use
PyArg_ParseTuple() and Py_BuildValue() "#" formats: "es#", "et#",
"s#", "u#", "y#", "z#", "U#" and "Z#". See the PEP 353.
Update _testcapi.test_buildvalue_issue38913().
On Linux, skip tests using multiprocessing if the current user cannot
create a file in /dev/shm/ directory. Add the
skip_if_broken_multiprocessing_synchronize() function to the
test.support module.
The C99 functions snprintf() and vsnprintf() are now required
to build Python.
PyOS_snprintf() and PyOS_vsnprintf() no longer call Py_FatalError().
Previously, they called Py_FatalError() on a buffer overflow on platforms
which don't provide vsnprintf().
Remove duplication in `threading.Thread.native_id` documentation, so resulting documentation is more consistent with the `threading.Thread.ident`.

This commit removes the old parser, the deprecated parser module, the old parser compatibility flags and environment variables and all associated support code and documentation.
Move TransientResource, time_out, socket_peer_reset and
ioerror_peer_reset from test.support to test_urllib2net.
Remove "import errno" from test.support.
The doccumentation at https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/weakref.html cautions that the `WeakKeyDictionary` and `WeakValueDictionary` are susceptible to the problem of dictionary mutation during iteration.
These notes present the user with a problem that has no easy solution.
I dug into the implementation and found that fortunately, Antoine Pitrou already addressed this challenge (10 years ago!) by introducing an `_IterationGuard` context manager to the implementation, which delays mutation while an iteration is in progress.
I asked for confirmation and @pitrou agreed that these notes could be removed:

Export explicitly the Py_GetArgcArgv() function to the C API and
document the function. Previously, it was exported implicitly which
no longer works since Python is built with -fvisibility=hidden.
* Add PyConfig._orig_argv member.
* Py_InitializeFromConfig() no longer calls _PyConfig_Write() twice.
* PyConfig_Read() no longer initializes Py_GetArgcArgv(): it is now
_PyConfig_Write() responsibility.
* _PyConfig_Write() result type becomes PyStatus instead of void.
* Write an unit test on Py_GetArgcArgv().

The topological sort functionality that was introduced initially in the
functools module has been moved to a new graphlib module to
better accommodate the new tools and keep the original scope of the
functools module.
When I wrote the documentation for `asyncio.to_thread()`, I mistakenly assumed that `return await loop.run_in_executor(...)` within an async def function would return a Future. In reality, it returns a coroutine.
This likely won't affect typical usage of `asyncio.to_thread()`, but it's important for the documentation to be correct here. In general, we also tend to avoid returning futures from high-level APIs in asyncio.
* bpo-29882: Add an efficient popcount method for integers
* Update 'sign bit' and versionadded in docs
* Add entry to whatsnew document
* Doc: use positive example, mention population count
* Minor cleanups of the core code
* Move popcount_digit closer to where it's used
* Use z instead of self after conversion
* Add 'absolute value' and 'population count' to docstring
* Fix clinic error about missing summary line
* Ensure popcount_digit is portable with 64-bit ints
