An isolated subinterpreter cannot spawn threads, spawn a child
process or call os.fork().
* Add private _Py_NewInterpreter(isolated_subinterpreter) function.
* Add isolated=True keyword-only parameter to
_xxsubinterpreters.create().
* Allow again os.fork() in "non-isolated" subinterpreters.
Move Build Changes and C API Changes to the end of the document.
Most Python users don't build Python themselves and don't use the C
API. Other changes:
* Add Build Changes section
* Add sub-sections to the C API Changes
* Sort modules in Improved Modules section: move nntplib after
multiprocessing
New PyFrame_GetBack() function: get the frame next outer frame.
Replace frame->f_back with PyFrame_GetBack(frame) in most code but
frameobject.c, ceval.c and genobject.c.
Remove the following function from the C API:
* PyAsyncGen_ClearFreeLists()
* PyContext_ClearFreeList()
* PyDict_ClearFreeList()
* PyFloat_ClearFreeList()
* PyFrame_ClearFreeList()
* PyList_ClearFreeList()
* PySet_ClearFreeList()
* PyTuple_ClearFreeList()
Make these functions private, move them to the internal C API and
change their return type to void.
Call explicitly PyGC_Collect() to free all free lists.
Note: PySet_ClearFreeList() did nothing.
PyFrame_GetCode(frame): return a borrowed reference to the frame
code.
Replace frame->f_code with PyFrame_GetCode(frame) in most code,
except in frameobject.c, genobject.c and ceval.c.
Also add PyFrame_GetLineNumber() to the limited C API.
Add a new separated pyframe.h header file of the PyFrame public C
API: it is included by Python.h.
Add PyFrame_GetLineNumber() to the limited C API.
Replace "struct _frame" with "PyFrameObject" in header files.
PyFrameObject is now defined as struct _frame by pyframe.h which is
included early enough in Python.h.
Adds a short description of `PyDoc_STRVAR` and `PyDoc_STR` to "Useful macros" section of C-API docs.
Currently, there is [one lone mention](https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/module.html?highlight=pydoc_strvar#c.PyModuleDef) in the C-API reference, despite the fact that `PyDoc_STRVAR` is ubiquitous to `Modules/`.
Additionally, this properly uses `c:macro` within `Doc/c-api/module.rst` to link.
* Move socket related functions from test.support to socket_helper.
* Import socket, nntplib and urllib.error lazily in transient_internet().
* Remove importing multiprocess.
Optimize the subprocess module on FreeBSD using closefrom().
A single close(fd) syscall is cheap, but when sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX)
is high, the loop calling close(fd) on each file descriptor can take
several milliseconds.
The workaround on FreeBSD to improve performance was to load and
mount the fdescfs kernel module, but this is not enabled by default.
Initial patch by Ed Maste (emaste), Conrad Meyer (cem), Kyle Evans
(kevans) and Kubilay Kocak (koobs):
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242274
Log "Warning -- ..." test warnings into sys.__stderr__ rather than
sys.stderr, to ensure to display them even if sys.stderr is captured.
test.libregrtest.utils.print_warning() now calls
test.support.print_warning().
* Rename PyConfig.use_peg to _use_peg_parser
* Document PyConfig._use_peg_parser and mark it a deprecated
* Mark -X oldparser option and PYTHONOLDPARSER env var as deprecated
in the documentation.
* Add use_old_parser() and skip_if_new_parser() to test.support
* Remove sys.flags.use_peg: use_old_parser() uses
_testinternalcapi.get_configs() instead.
* Enhance test_embed tests
* subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() copies -X oldparser
Added str.removeprefix and str.removesuffix methods and corresponding
bytes, bytearray, and collections.UserString methods to remove affixes
from a string if present. See PEP 616 for a full description.
The constant values of future flags in the __future__ module
is updated in order to prevent collision with compiler flags.
Previously PyCF_ALLOW_TOP_LEVEL_AWAIT was clashing
with CO_FUTURE_DIVISION.
* Add underscores to long numbers to improve readability
* Use bigger dataset in the bootstrapping example
* Convert single-server queue example to more useful multi-server queue
Fixes Issue39285
The example incorrectly returned True for match.
Furthermore the example is ambiguous in its usage of PureWindowsPath.
Windows is case-insensitve, however the underlying match functionality
utilizes fnmatch.fnmatchcase.

* Replace PY_INT64_T with int64_t
* Replace PY_UINT32_T with uint32_t
* Replace PY_UINT64_T with uint64_t
sha3module.c no longer checks if PY_UINT64_T is defined since it's
always defined and uint64_t is always available on platforms
supported by Python.
Add random.randbytes() function and random.Random.randbytes()
method to generate random bytes.
Modify secrets.token_bytes() to use SystemRandom.randbytes()
rather than calling directly os.urandom().
Rename also genrand_int32() to genrand_uint32(), since it returns an
unsigned 32-bit integer, not a signed integer.
The _random module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE defined.
The names "member" and "container" for the arguments are also used in the module and shown with the help() function, and are immediately understandable in this context, contrary to "first" and "second".
Add the encoding in ftplib.FTP and ftplib.FTP_TLS to the
constructor as keyword-only and change the default from "latin-1" to "utf-8"
to follow RFC 2640.
* bpo-39011: Preserve line endings within attributes
Line endings within attributes were previously normalized to "\n" in Py3.7/3.8.
This patch removes that normalization, as line endings which were
replaced by entity numbers should be preserved in original form.
Add the functions PyObject_GC_IsTracked and PyObject_GC_IsFinalized to the public API to allow to query if Python objects are being currently tracked or have been already finalized by the garbage collector respectively.
Add os.waitstatus_to_exitcode() function to convert a wait status to an
exitcode.
Suggest waitstatus_to_exitcode() usage in the documentation when
appropriate.
Use waitstatus_to_exitcode() in:
* multiprocessing, os, subprocess and _bootsubprocess modules;
* test.support.wait_process();
* setup.py: run_command();
* and many tests.
Moreover, the following tests now check the child process exit code:
* test_os.PtyTests
* test_mailbox.test_lock_conflict()
* test_tempfile.test_process_awareness()
* test_uuid.testIssue8621()
* multiprocessing resource tracker tests
Remove daemon threads from :mod:`concurrent.futures` by adding
an internal `threading._register_atexit()`, which calls registered functions
prior to joining all non-daemon threads. This allows for compatibility
with subinterpreters, which don't support daemon threads.
* Update ChainMap to include | and |=
Created __ior__, __or__ and __ror__ methods in ChainMap class.
* Update ACKS
* Update docs
* Update test_collections.py to include test_issue584().
Added testing for | and |= operators for ChainMap objects.
* Update test_union_operators
Renamed test_union operators, fixed errors and style problems raised by brandtbucher.
* Update test_union_operators in TestChainMap
Added testing for union operator between ChainMap and iterable of key-value pairs.
* Update test_union operators in test_collections.py
Gave more descriptive variable names and eliminated unnecessary tmp variable.
* Update test_union_operators in test_collections.py
Added cm3
* Check .maps rather than Chainmap equality.
* Add news entry
* Update Lib/test/test_collections.py

* Re-add removed classes Suite, slice, Param, AugLoad and AugStore.
* Add docstrings for dummy classes.
* Add docstrings for attribute aliases.
* Set __module__ to "ast" instead of "_ast".
Remove _PyRuntime.getframe hook and remove _PyThreadState_GetFrame
macro which was an alias to _PyRuntime.getframe. They were only
exposed by the internal C API. Remove also PyThreadFrameGetter type.
COMPUTE_EVAL_BREAKER() now also checks if the Python thread state
belongs to the main interpreter. Don't break the evaluation loop if
there are pending signals but the Python thread state it belongs to a
subinterpeter.
* Add _Py_IsMainThread() function.
* Add _Py_ThreadCanHandleSignals() function.
If a thread different than the main thread gets a signal, the
bytecode evaluation loop is no longer interrupted at each bytecode
instruction to check for pending signals which cannot be handled.
Only the main thread of the main interpreter can handle signals.
Previously, the bytecode evaluation loop was interrupted at each
instruction until the main thread handles signals.
Changes:
* COMPUTE_EVAL_BREAKER() and SIGNAL_PENDING_SIGNALS() no longer set
eval_breaker to 1 if the current thread cannot handle signals.
* take_gil() now always recomputes eval_breaker.
If Py_AddPendingCall() is called in a subinterpreter, the function is
now scheduled to be called from the subinterpreter, rather than being
called from the main interpreter.
Each subinterpreter now has its own list of scheduled calls.
* Move pending and eval_breaker fields from _PyRuntimeState.ceval
to PyInterpreterState.ceval.
* new_interpreter() now calls _PyEval_InitThreads() to create
pending calls lock.
* Fix Py_AddPendingCall() for subinterpreters. It now calls
_PyThreadState_GET() which works in a subinterpreter if the
caller holds the GIL, and only falls back on
PyGILState_GetThisThreadState() if _PyThreadState_GET()
returns NULL.
Extension modules: m_traverse, m_clear and m_free functions of
PyModuleDef are no longer called if the module state was requested
but is not allocated yet. This is the case immediately after the
module is created and before the module is executed (Py_mod_exec
function). More precisely, these functions are not called if m_size is
greater than 0 and the module state (as returned by
PyModule_GetState()) is NULL.
Extension modules without module state (m_size <= 0) are not affected.

* Rename _PyInterpreterState_Get() to PyInterpreterState_Get() and
move it the limited C API.
* Add _PyInterpreterState_Get() alias to PyInterpreterState_Get() for
backward compatibility with Python 3.8.
* sys.settrace(), sys.setprofile() and _lsprof.Profiler.enable() now
properly report PySys_Audit() error if "sys.setprofile" or
"sys.settrace" audit event is denied.
* Add _PyEval_SetProfile() and _PyEval_SetTrace() function: similar
to PyEval_SetProfile() and PyEval_SetTrace() but take a tstate
parameter and return -1 on error.
* Add _PyObject_FastCallTstate() function.
PyInterpreterState.eval_frame function now requires a tstate (Python
thread state) parameter.
Add private functions to the C API to get and set the frame
evaluation function:
* Add tstate parameter to _PyFrameEvalFunction function type.
* Add _PyInterpreterState_GetEvalFrameFunc() and
_PyInterpreterState_SetEvalFrameFunc() functions.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault().
Received email on the docs mailing list to fix a typo from `sys.platlitdir` which doesn't exist to the correct new attribute `sys.platlibdir`

I've used this recipe a couple times and the filename editing has always
been less than useful and something I've removed. This is because many
modules end up losing which package they are located in, e.g. `util/date.py`.
* Remove the slice type.
* Make Slice a kind of the expr type instead of the slice type.
* Replace ExtSlice(slices) with Tuple(slices, Load()).
* Replace Index(value) with a value itself.
All non-terminal nodes in AST for expressions are now of the expr type.
Add --with-platlibdir option to the configure script: name of the
platform-specific library directory, stored in the new sys.platlitdir
attribute. It is used to build the path of platform-specific dynamic
libraries and the path of the standard library.
It is equal to "lib" on most platforms. On Fedora and SuSE, it is
equal to "lib64" on 64-bit systems.

It appears standard that moving the text insert cursor away from a selection clears the
selection. Clearing prevents accidental deletion of a possibly off-screen bit of text.
The update is for Ln and Col on the status bar.
We make `|=` raise TypeError, since it would be surprising if `C.__dict__ |= {'x': 0}` silently did nothing, while `C.__dict__.update({'x': 0})` is an error.
The Py_FatalError() function is replaced with a macro which logs
automatically the name of the current function, unless the
Py_LIMITED_API macro is defined.
Changes:
* Add _Py_FatalErrorFunc() function.
* Remove the function name from the message of Py_FatalError() calls
which included the function name.
* Update tests.
The AST "Suite" node is no longer used and it can be removed from the ASDL definition and related structures (compiler, visitors, ...).

Fix compileall.compile_dir() ddir= behavior on sub-packages.
Fixes compileall.compile_dir's ddir parameter and compileall command
line flag `-d` to no longer write the wrong pathname to the generated
pyc file for submodules beneath the root of the directory tree being
compiled. This fixes a regression introduced with Python 3.5.
Also marks the _new_ in 3.9 from PR #16012 parameters to compile_dir as keyword only (as that is the only way they will be used) and fixes an omission of them in one place from the docs.
Full nested function and class info makes it a module browser.

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`.
https://bugs.python.org/issue38374
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.
