Responding to suggestions on the tracker and some off-line suggestions.
Davin suggested that english named accessors instead of greek letters would result in more intelligible user code. Steven suggested that the parameters still need to be *mu* and *theta* which are used elsewhere (and I noted those parameter names are used in linked-to resources).
Michael suggested proving-out the API by seeing whether it generalized to *Lognormal*. I did so and found that Lognormal distribution parameters *mu* and *sigma* do not represent the mean and standard deviation of the lognormal distribution (instead, they are for the underlying regular normal distribution).
Putting these ideas together, we have NormalDist parameterized by *mu* and *sigma* but offering English named properties for accessors. That gives lets us match other API that access mu and sigma, it matches the external resources on the topic, gives us clear english names in user code. The API extends nicely to LogNormal where the parameters and the summary statistic accessors are not the same.

Trying to assign a value to __debug__ using the assignment operator is supposed to fail, but
a missing check for forbidden names when setting the context in the ast was preventing this behaviour.
Fix test_ssl for strict OpenSSL configuration like RHEL8 strict crypto policy.
Use older TLS version for minimum TLS version of the server SSL context if
needed, to test TLS version older than default minimum TLS version.
It checks that a SyntaxWarning is raised when compile specified
statement, that it is raised only once, that it is converted to
a SyntaxError when raised as exception, and that both warning and
exception objects have corresponding attributes.
Need to reset capturing groups between two SRE(match) callings in loops, this fixes wrong capturing groups in rare cases.
Also add a missing index in re.rst.
The error message emitted when returning invalid types from __fspath__ in interfaces that allow passing PathLike objects has been improved and now it does explain the origin of the error.
Not using `__class_getitem__()` fallback if there is a non-subcriptable metaclass was caused by a certain asymmetry between how `PySequenceMethods` and `PyMappingMethods` are used in `PyObject_GetItem`. This PR removes this asymmetry. No tests failed, so I assume it was not intentional.
It makes the existing smaller test more readable and robust at the same time.
The execution of a shell in interactive mode from CI and buildbot test automation wasn't working out. What would work locally in our terminals would only work within a fraction of automation systems. The integration test was a nice to have. painful. deleting. :)
* bpo-1054041: Exit properly by a signal after a ^C.
An uncaught KeyboardInterrupt exception means the user pressed ^C and
our code did not handle it. Programs that install SIGINT handlers are
supposed to reraise the SIGINT signal to the SIG_DFL handler in order
to exit in a manner that their calling process can detect that they
died due to a Ctrl-C. https://www.cons.org/cracauer/sigint.html
After this change on POSIX systems
while true; do python -c 'import time; time.sleep(23)'; done
can be stopped via a simple Ctrl-C instead of the shell infinitely
restarting a new python process.
What to do on Windows, or if anything needs to be done there has not
yet been determined. That belongs in its own PR.
TODO(gpshead): A unittest for this behavior is still needed.
* Do the unhandled ^C check after pymain_free.
* Return STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT on Windows.
* Fix ifdef around unistd.h include.
* 📜🤖 Added by blurb_it.
* Add STATUS_CTRL_C_EXIT to the os module on Windows
* Add unittests.
* Don't send CTRL_C_EVENT in the Windows test.
It was causing CI systems to bail out of the entire test suite.
See https://dev.azure.com/Python/cpython/_build/results?buildId=37980
for example.
* Correct posix test (fail on macOS?) check.
* STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT must be unsigned.
* Improve the error message.
* test typo :)
* Skip if the bash version is too old.
...and rename the windows test to reflect what it does.
* min bash version is 4.4, detect no bash.
* restore a blank line i didn't mean to delete.
* PyErr_Occurred() before the Py_DECREF(co);
* Don't add os.STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT as a constant.
* Update the Windows test comment.
* Refactor common logic into a run_eval_code_obj fn.
Previously, `debug print(` would cause the interpreter to exit on a SyntaxError whereas `print(` would properly display the error and return to the pdb prompt.
This patch fixes this by pre-compiling the code before passing it to `Pdb.run`.

[bpo-35633](https://bugs.python.org/issue35633): Fix a test regression introduced with [bpo-35189](https://bugs.python.org/issue35189) (PEP 475: fnctl functions are not retried if interrupted (EINTR)).
Not only a blocking IO error needs to be ignored - permission errors also need to be ignored.
p.s. - iirc as a "test" only correction a NEWS item is not required. If this is not correct - just mention, and I'll add a NEWS blurb.

Changes in this commit:
1. Use a _strong_ reference between the Pool and associated iterators
2. Rework PR #8450 to eliminate a cycle in the Pool.
There is no test in this commit because any test that automatically tests this behaviour needs to eliminate the pool before joining the pool to check that the pool object is garbaged collected/does not hang. But doing this will potentially leak threads and processes (see https://bugs.python.org/issue35413).
