Added an optional argument timespec to the datetime isoformat() method
to choose the precision of the time component.
Original patch by Alessandro Cucci.
of datetime.datetime: microseconds are now rounded to nearest with ties going
to nearest even integer (ROUND_HALF_EVEN), instead of being rounding towards
zero (ROUND_DOWN). It's important that these methods use the same rounding
mode than datetime.timedelta to keep the property:
(datetime(1970,1,1) + timedelta(seconds=t)) == datetime.utcfromtimestamp(t)
It also the rounding mode used by round(float) for example.
Add more unit tests on the rounding mode in test_datetime.
On Windows, the tv_sec field of the timeval structure has the type C long,
whereas it has the type C time_t on all other platforms. A C long has a size of
32 bits (signed inter, 1 bit for the sign, 31 bits for the value) which is not
enough to store an Epoch timestamp after the year 2038.
Add the _PyTime_AsTimevalTime_t() function written for datetime.datetime.now():
convert a _PyTime_t timestamp to a (secs, us) tuple where secs type is time_t.
It allows to support dates after the year 2038 on Windows.
Enhance also _PyTime_AsTimeval_impl() to detect overflow on the number of
seconds when rounding the number of microseconds.

datetime.datetime now round microseconds to nearest with ties going to nearest
even integer (ROUND_HALF_EVEN), as round(float), instead of rounding towards
-Infinity (ROUND_FLOOR).
pytime API: replace _PyTime_ROUND_HALF_UP with _PyTime_ROUND_HALF_EVEN. Fix
also _PyTime_Divide() for negative numbers.
_PyTime_AsTimeval_impl() now reuses _PyTime_Divide() instead of reimplementing
rounding modes.

Issue #23517: the change broke test_datetime. datetime.timedelta() rounding

rounding mode (half up).

Python older than 3.3.
The new syntax is highly human readable while still preventing false
positives. The syntax also extends Python syntax to denote "self" and
positional-only parameters, allowing inspect.Signature objects to be
totally accurate for all supported builtins in Python 3.4.
annotate text signatures in docstrings, resulting in fewer false
positives. "self" parameters are also explicitly marked, allowing
inspect.Signature() to authoritatively detect (and skip) said parameters.
Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now generates separate checksums for the
input and output sections of the block, allowing external tools to verify
that the input has not changed (and thus the output is not out-of-date).

Also: many additional Lib, test suite, and Argument Clinic fixes.
