* Add F_SETPIPE_SZ and F_GETPIPE_SZ to fcntl module
* Add pipesize parameter for subprocess.Popen class
This will allow the user to control the size of the pipes.
On linux the default is 64K. When a pipe is full it blocks for writing.
When a pipe is empty it blocks for reading. On processes that are
very fast this can lead to a lot of wasted CPU cycles. On a typical
Linux system the max pipe size is 1024K which is much better.
For high performance-oriented libraries such as xopen it is nice to
be able to set the pipe size.
The workaround without this feature is to use my_popen_process.stdout.fileno() in
conjuction with fcntl and 1031 (value of F_SETPIPE_SZ) to acquire this behavior.
`site.getusersitepackages()` returns the location of the user-specific site-packages directory
even when the user-specific site-packages is disabled.
```
$ python -s -m site
sys.path = [
'/home/user/conda/lib/python37.zip',
'/home/user/conda/lib/python3.7',
'/home/user/conda/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload',
'/home/user/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages',
]
USER_BASE: '/home/user/.local' (exists)
USER_SITE: '/home/user/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages' (doesn't exist)
ENABLE_USER_SITE: False
```
It was not practical to prevent the function from returning None if user-specific site-packages are disabled, since there are other uses of the function which are relying on this behaviour (e.g. `python -m site`).
This special marker annotation is intended to help in distinguishing
proper PEP 484-compliant type aliases from regular top-level variable
assignments.
* bpo-26680: Adds support for int.is_integer() for compatibility with float.is_integer().
The int.is_integer() method always returns True.
* bpo-26680: Adds a test to ensure that False.is_integer() and True.is_integer() are always True.
* bpo-26680: Adds Real.is_integer() with a trivial implementation using conversion to int.
This default implementation is intended to reduce the workload for subclass
implementers. It is not robust in the presence of infinities or NaNs and
may have suboptimal performance for other types.
* bpo-26680: Adds Rational.is_integer which returns True if the denominator is one.
This implementation assumes the Rational is represented in it's
lowest form, as required by the class docstring.
* bpo-26680: Adds Integral.is_integer which always returns True.
* bpo-26680: Adds tests for Fraction.is_integer called as an instance method.
The tests for the Rational abstract base class use an unbound
method to sidestep the inability to directly instantiate Rational.
These tests check that everything works correct as an instance method.
* bpo-26680: Updates documentation for Real.is_integer and built-ins int and float.
The call x.is_integer() is now listed in the table of operations
which apply to all numeric types except complex, with a reference
to the full documentation for Real.is_integer(). Mention of
is_integer() has been removed from the section 'Additional Methods
on Float'.
The documentation for Real.is_integer() describes its purpose, and
mentions that it should be overridden for performance reasons, or
to handle special values like NaN.
* bpo-26680: Adds Decimal.is_integer to the Python and C implementations.
The C implementation of Decimal already implements and uses
mpd_isinteger internally, we just expose the existing function to
Python.
The Python implementation uses internal conversion to integer
using to_integral_value().
In both cases, the corresponding context methods are also
implemented.
Tests and documentation are included.
* bpo-26680: Updates the ACKS file.
* bpo-26680: NEWS entries for int, the numeric ABCs and Decimal.

This shows users that they can use the actual types. Using deprecated types is confusing.
This also prefers colections.abc.Sized instead of the alias typing.Sized. I guess the aliases were created to make it convenient to import all collections related types from the same place.
This should be backported to 3.9.

This commit reverts commit ac0333e1e1 as the original links are working again and they provide extended features such as comments and alternative versions.
Use an unique identifier for the different grammars documented using
the Sphinx productionlist markup.
productionlist markups of the same grammar, like "expressions" or
"compound statements", use the same identifier "python-grammar".
From "can produce difference information in various formats ..."
to " can produce information about file differences in various formats ..."

On this paragrapah the clarification about IIS7 seems there's not

to connect both the last sentence with the information in the
parenthesis.
I think the NEWS is not necessary here.

I added some information to the `Concurrency and Multithreading` section of the `Developing with asyncio` guide.
This is all information that would have helped me when I started using asyncio. I incorrectly assumed that `loop.call_soon_threadsafe()` and `run_coroutine_threadsafe()` could be called from a thread in a process separate from the one that the event loop is running in. Explicitly stating that this will not work will probably help some people starting out with asyncio in the future.
I also added references to some other functions that can be used for inter-process communication without blocking the event loop. The section already mentions running blocking code in a ThreadPoolExecutor, but I think listing these other options in this section will also be helpful.
Sphinx 3 disallows having more than one productionlist markup with
the same name. Simply remove names in this case, since names are not
shown anyway. For example, fix the Sphinx 3 warning:
Doc/reference/introduction.rst:96: duplicate token description
of *:name, other instance in reference/expressions
Sphinx 3 requires to refer to terms with the exact case.
For example, fix the Sphinx 3 warning:
Doc/library/pkgutil.rst:71: WARNING: term Loader not found in case
sensitive match.made a reference to loader instead.
Add :noindex: to duplicated documentation to fix "duplicate object
description" errors.
For example, fix this Sphinx 3 issue:
Doc/library/configparser.rst:1146: WARNING: duplicate object
description of configparser.ConfigParser.optionxform, other instance
in library/configparser, use :noindex: for one of them
The http.cookiejar module has is_blocked() and blocked_domains()
methods, so "blocklist" term sounds better than "denylist" in this
module.
Replace also denylisted with denied in test___all__.
Adds a link to the "Reading and Writing Files" page so users can
more easily discover how file handles are handled with the `with`
context manager vs without it.
PEP 563 was updated to change the release where `from __future__ import annotations` becomes the default (and only) behavior from 4.0 to 3.10. Update `__future__.py` and its docs to reflect this.
Add an accessor under SSLContext.security_level as a wrapper around
SSL_CTX_get_security_level, see:
https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/SSL_CTX_get_security_level.html

Keywords are present in the main module tab completion lists generated by rlcompleter, which is used by REPLs on *nix. Add all keywords to IDLE's main module name list except those already added from builtins (True, False, and None) . This list may also be used by Show Completions on the Edit menu, and its hot key.
Rewrite Completions doc.

Add sys.orig_argv attribute: the list of the original command line
arguments passed to the Python executable.
Rename also PyConfig._orig_argv to PyConfig.orig_argv and
document it.
- Mention that some compiler optimizations might not roundtrip
exactly (such as constant tuples and frozensets).
- Add a warning about it might raise RecursionError on very
complex expressions due to recursive unparsing aspect of ast.unparse
* Add a glossary entry for the term "callback"
* Link to it in loop.call_soon() and in the "Concurrency and Multithreading" section

On Linux, skip tests using multiprocessing if the current user cannot
create a file in /dev/shm/ directory. Add the
skip_if_broken_multiprocessing_synchronize() function to the
test.support module.
Remove duplication in `threading.Thread.native_id` documentation, so resulting documentation is more consistent with the `threading.Thread.ident`.
