* _PyCoreConfig_Read() no longer directly modifies Py_IsolatedFlag
and Py_NoSiteFlag global configuration flags. The function now
requires two pointers to integer, so these flags can be set later,
to avoid side effets in _PyCoreConfig_Read().
* pathconfig_global_init() now leaves Py_IsolatedFlag and
Py_NoSiteFlag unchanged.
* Fix pathconfig_global_init(): avoid computing the path
configuration twice, use _PyCoreConfig_SetPathConfig().
Rework _PyCoreConfig_Read() function which *reads* core configuration
to not *modify* the path configuration.
A new _PyCoreConfig_SetPathConfig() function now recreates the path
configuration from the core configuration. This function is now
called very late in _Py_InitializeCore(), just before calling
initimport().
Changes:
* Add _PyCoreConfig.dll_path
* Py_SetPath() now fails with a fatal python error on memory
allocation failure.
* Rename _PyPathConfig_Calculate() to _PyPathConfig_Calculate_impl()
* Replace _PyPathConfig_Init() with _PyPathConfig_Calculate(): the
function now requires a _PyPathConfig
* Add _PyPathConfig_SetGlobal() to set the _Py_path_config global
variable.
* Add _PyCoreConfig_InitPathConfig(): compute the path configuration
* Add _PyCoreConfig_SetPathConfig(): set path configuration from core
configuration
* Rename wstrlist_append() to _Py_wstrlist_append()
* _Py_wstrlist_append() now handles integer overflow.
Py_Main() can again be called after Py_Initialize(), as in Python
3.6. The new configuration is ignored, except of
_PyMainInterpreterConfig.argv which is used to update sys.argv.

Remove the necessity to copy the former manually to the latter when updating the local source tree.
They can be exposed when some C API calls fail due to lack of

after failed Py_BuildValue().
* initvalue could leak in StringIO.__getstate__() after failed
PyDict_Copy().
* `flags` is indeed deprecated, but there is a validation on its value for
backwards compatibility reasons. This adds mention of this in the docs.
* The docs say that `sizehint` is deprecated and ignored, but it is still

the docs.
* `sizehint=-1` is acceptable again, and is replaced with `FD_SETSIZE-1`.
This is needed to have a default value available at the Python level,
since `FD_SETSIZE` is not exposed to Python. (see: bpo-31938)
* Reject `sizehint=0` since it is invalid to pass on to `epoll_create()`.
The relevant tests have also been updated.
* Fix also PyInit__gdbm() to catch errors.

In some development setups it is inconvenient or impossible to write bytecode
caches to the code tree, but the bytecode caches are still useful. The
PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX environment variable allows specifying an alternate
location for cached bytecode files, within which a directory tree mirroring the code
tree will be created. This cache tree is then used (for both reading and writing)
instead of the local `__pycache__` subdirectory within each source directory.
Exposed at runtime as sys.pycache_prefix (defaulting to None), and can
be set from the CLI as "-X pycache_prefix=path".

All the subinterpreter tests were disabled in gh-7513. This commit re-enables them, but leaves one bad test disabled.

The documentation for CERT_NONE, CERT_OPTIONAL, and CERT_REQUIRED were
misleading and partly wrong. It fails to explain that OpenSSL behaves
differently in client and server mode. Also OpenSSL does validate the
cert chain everytime. With SSL_VERIFY_NONE a validation error is not
fatal in client mode and does not request a client cert in server mode.
Also discourage people from using CERT_OPTIONAL in client mode.
A datetime object d is aware if d.tzinfo is not None and
d.tzinfo.utcoffset(d) does not return None. If d.tzinfo is None,
or if d.tzinfo is not None but d.tzinfo.utcoffset(d) returns None,
d is naive.
This commit ensures that instances with non-None d.tzinfo, but
d.tzinfo.utcoffset(d) returning None are treated as naive.
In addition, C acceleration code will raise TypeError if
d.tzinfo.utcoffset(d) returns an object with the type other than
timedelta.
* Updated the documentation.
Assume that the term "naive" is defined elsewhere and remove the
not entirely correct clarification. Thanks, Tim.

Thanks Christoph Gohlke for the bug report and the fix!
* Failure in adding to gc.garbage is no longer fatal.
* An exception in tp_clear() no longer lead to crash (though tp_clear() should not leave exceptions).
* Fixed a leak when the GC fails to add an object with __del__ into
the gc.garbage list.
* PyGC_Collect() can now be called when an exception is set and
preserves it.
* Fixed an undefined behavior with comparing a dead pointer with NULL.
Fix the following bugs in the C implementation:
* get_future_loop() silenced all exceptions raised when look up the get_loop
attribute, not just an AttributeError.
* enter_task() silenced all exceptions raised when look up the current task,
not just a KeyError.
* repr() was called for a borrowed link in enter_task() and task_step_impl().
* str() was used instead of repr() in formatting one error message (in
Python implementation too).
* There where few reference leaks in error cases.

* Expose the sigset_t converter via private API _Py_Sigset_Converter().
* Use Argument Clinic for parsing sigset_t in signalmodule.c.
* Raise ValueError instead OverflowError for integers out of
the C long range.
Based on patch by Pablo Galindo Salgado.
Use the _PyTime_t type and round away from zero (ROUND_UP,
_PyTime_ROUND_TIMEOUT) the sleep duration, when converting a Python
object to seconds and then to milliseconds. Raise an OverflowError in
case of overflow.
Previously the (int)double conversion rounded towards zero
(ROUND_DOWN).
METH_NOARGS functions need only a single argument but they are cast
into a PyCFunction, which takes two arguments. This triggers an
invalid function cast warning in gcc8 due to the argument mismatch.
Fix this by adding a dummy unused argument.
Starting with glibc 2.27.9000-xxx, sigaddset() can return EINVAL for some
reserved signal numbers between 1 and NSIG. The `range(1, NSIG)` idiom
is commonly used to select all signals for blocking with `pthread_sigmask`.
So we ignore the sigaddset() return value until we expose sigfillset()
to provide a better idiom.
Setup modules are no longer built with -DPy_BUILD_CORE by default,
as using that flag may now require including additional internal-only header files.
Instead, only the modules that specifically need it use that setting.
This makes performance better and produces shorter pickles. This change is backwards compatible up to the oldest currently supported version of Python (3.4).
bpo-32844: subprocess: Fix a potential misredirection of a low fd to stderr.
When redirecting, subprocess attempts to achieve the following state:
each fd to be redirected to is less than or equal to the fd
it is redirected from, which is necessary because redirection
occurs in the ascending order of destination descriptors.
It fails to do so in a couple of corner cases,
for example, if 1 is redirected to 2 and 0 is closed in the parent.

Multi-phase initialized modules allow m_traverse to be called while the
module is still being initialized, so module authors may need to account
for that.
fstat may block for long time if the file descriptor is on a
non-responsive NFS server, hanging all threads. Most fstat() calls are
handled by _Py_fstat(), releasing the GIL internally, but but
_Py_fstat_noraise() does not release the GIL, and most calls release the
GIL explicitly around it.
This patch fixes last 2 calls to _Py_fstat_no_raise(), avoiding hangs
when calling:
- mmap.mmap()
- os.urandom()
- random.seed()
OpenSSL 1.1 has introduced a new API to set the minimum and maximum
supported protocol version. The API is easier to use than the old
OP_NO_TLS1 option flags, too.
Since OpenSSL has no call to set minimum version to highest supported,
the implementation emulate maximum_version = MINIMUM_SUPPORTED and
minimum_version = MAXIMUM_SUPPORTED by figuring out the minumum and
maximum supported version at compile time.

* bpo-32947: OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre1 / TLS 1.3 fixes
Misc fixes and workarounds for compatibility with OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre1 and
TLS 1.3 support. With OpenSSL 1.1.1, Python negotiates TLS 1.3 by
default. Some test cases only apply to TLS 1.2. Other tests currently
fail because the threaded or async test servers stop after failure.
I'm going to address these issues when OpenSSL 1.1.1 reaches beta.
OpenSSL 1.1.1 has added a new option OP_ENABLE_MIDDLEBOX_COMPAT for TLS
1.3. The feature is enabled by default for maximum compatibility with
broken middle boxes. Users should be able to disable the hack and CPython's test suite needs
it to verify default options.

* The SSLSocket is no longer implemented on top of SSLObject to
avoid an extra level of indirection.
* Owner and session are now handled in the internal constructor.
* _ssl._SSLSocket now uses the same method names as SSLSocket and
SSLObject.
* Channel binding type check is now handled in C code. Channel binding
is always available.
The patch also changes the signature of SSLObject.__init__(). In my
opinion it's fine. A SSLObject is not a user-constructable object.
SSLContext.wrap_bio() is the only valid factory.
Previously, the ssl module stored international domain names (IDNs)
as U-labels. This is problematic for a number of reasons -- for
example, it made it impossible for users to use a different version
of IDNA than the one built into Python.
After this change, we always convert to A-labels as soon as possible,
and use them for all internal processing. In particular, server_hostname
attribute is now an A-label, and on the server side there's a new
sni_callback that receives the SNI servername as an A-label rather than
a U-label.
The CPython runtime assumes that there is a one-to-one relationship (for a given interpreter) between PyThreadState and OS threads. Sending and receiving on a channel in the same interpreter was causing crashes because of this (specifically due to a check in PyThreadState_Swap()). The solution is to not switch threads if the interpreter is the same.
os.dup2() tests for dup3() system call availability at runtime,
but doesn't remember the result across calls, repeating
the test on each call with inheritable=False.
Since the caller of os.dup2() is expected to hold the GIL,
fix this by making the variable holding the test result static.
Fix a rare but potential pre-exec child process deadlock in subprocess on POSIX systems when marking file descriptors inheritable on exec in the child process. This bug appears to have been introduced in 3.4 with the inheritable file descriptors support.
This also changes Python/fileutils.c `set_inheritable` to use the "slow" two `fcntl` syscall path instead of the "fast" single `ioctl` syscall path when asked to be async signal safe (by way of being asked not to raise exceptions). `ioctl` is not a POSIX async-signal-safe approved function.

Until now Python used a hard coded white list of default TLS cipher
suites. The old approach has multiple downsides. OpenSSL's default
selection was completely overruled. Python did neither benefit from new
cipher suites (ChaCha20, TLS 1.3 suites) nor blacklisted cipher suites.
For example we used to re-enable 3DES.
Python now defaults to OpenSSL DEFAULT cipher suite selection and black
lists all unwanted ciphers. Downstream vendors can override the default
cipher list with --with-ssl-default-suites.

Modify the readline module to use these functions.
Re-enable test_readline.test_nonascii().
The picklers do no longer allocate temporary memory when dumping large
bytes and str objects into a file object. Instead the data is
directly streamed into the underlying file object.
Previously the C implementation would buffer all content and issue a
single call to file.write() at the end of the dump. With protocol 4
this behavior has changed to issue one call to file.write() per frame.
The Python pickler with protocol 4 now dumps each frame content as a
memoryview to an IOBytes instance that is never reused and the
memoryview is no longer released after the call to write. This makes it
possible for the file object to delay access to the memoryview of
previous frames without forcing any additional memory copy as was
already possible with the C pickler.
This module has never been enabled by default, never worked correctly
on x86-64, and caused ABI problems that caused C extension
compatibility. See bpo-29137 for details/discussion.
