This was possible before. GH-1560 introduced a regression after 3.6.2 got
released where only sequences were accepted now. This commit addresses this
problem.
While a rare potential failure (it requires swapping out zlib.decompress() itself and forcing it to return a non-bytes object), this change prevents a potential C-level assertion failure and instead substitutes it with an exception.
Thanks to Oren Milman for the patch.
Class execution requires that __prepare__() methods return
a proper execution namespace. Check for that immediately
after calling __prepare__(), rather than passing it through
to the code execution machinery and potentially triggering
SystemError (in debug builds) or a cryptic TypeError
(in release builds).

Fix the logic in python-config.sh to avoid attempting to substitute
prefix in a variable that might have already been subject to
substitution. This e.g. happened if @exec_prefix@ was defined as
"${prefix}" (which is the default of the configure script) -- in which
case the exec_prefix_build variable was initialized with
already-subtituted prefix, and then another round of substitution was
performed which might have resulted in duplicate prefix.
To avoid that, rename the variables so that the variables matching
likely configure names (prefix, exec_prefix) retain their original
values and a '_real' suffix is used for the real values of prefix.
Furthermore, replace the unnecessary prefix and exec_prefix
substitutions with direct prefix_real references since the sed
always replaced the whole string anyway by design.
Python requires C implementations provide memmove, so we shouldn't need to check for it. The only place using this configure check was expat, where we can simply always define HAVE_MEMMOVE.
The original module-level class and method browser became a module
browser, with the addition of module-level functions, years ago.
Nested classes and functions were added yesterday. For back-
compatibility, the virtual event <<open-class-browser>>, which
appears on the Keys tab of the Settings dialog, is not changed.

* Maintain a list of BufferedWriter objects. Flush them on exit.
In Python 3, the buffer and the underlying file object are separate
and so the order in which objects are finalized matters. This is
unlike Python 2 where the file and buffer were a single object and
finalization was done for both at the same time. In Python 3, if
the file is finalized and closed before the buffer then the data in
the buffer is lost.
This change adds a doubly linked list of open file buffers. An atexit
hook ensures they are flushed before proceeding with interpreter
shutdown. This is addition does not remove the need to properly close
files as there are other reasons why buffered data could get lost during
finalization.
Initial patch by Armin Rigo.
* Use weakref.WeakSet instead of WeakKeyDictionary.
* Simplify buffered double-linked list types.
* In _flush_all_writers(), suppress errors from flush().
* Remove NEWS entry, use blurb.
* Take more care when flushing file buffers from atexit.
The previous implementation was not careful enough to avoid
causing issues in multi-threaded cases. Check for buf->ok
and buf->finalizing before actually doing the flush. Also,
increase the refcnt to ensure the object does not disappear.
Use prefixed macro names for the `authoraddress` function, add T2A to the font encoding in LaTeX sources to support Cyrillic characters in the PDF documentation, and replace the deprecated `font_size` config option with `pointsize`.
