bpo-37205: time.perf_counter() and time.monotonic() are system-wide (GH-23284)
time.perf_counter() on Windows and time.monotonic() on macOS are now
system-wide. Previously, they used an offset computed at startup to
reduce the precision loss caused by the float type. Use
time.perf_counter_ns() and time.monotonic_ns() added in Python 3.7 to
avoid this precision loss.

bpo-42230: Improve asyncio documentation regarding accepting sets vs iterables (GH-23073)
People call wait() and as_completed() with various non-set iterables,
a list should be the most common but there are others as well[1].

Considering typeshed also documents wait()[2] and as_completed()[3]
as accepting arbitrary iterables I think it's a good idea to document
the status quo better.

bpo-41229: Update docs for explicit aclose()-required cases and add contextlib.aclosing() method (GH-21545)
This is a PR to:

 * Add `contextlib.aclosing` which ia analogous to `contextlib.closing` but for async-generators with an explicit test case for [bpo-41229]()
 * Update the docs to describe when we need explicit `aclose()` invocation.

which are motivated by the following issues, articles, and examples:

 * [bpo-41229]()
 * https://github.com/njsmith/async_generator
 * https://vorpus.org/blog/some-thoughts-on-asynchronous-api-design-in-a-post-asyncawait-world/#cleanup-in-generators-and-async-generators
 * https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0533/
 * https://github.com/achimnol/aiotools/blob/ef7bf0cea7af/src/aiotools/context.py#L152

Particuarly regarding [PEP-533](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0533/), its acceptance (`__aiterclose__()`) would make this little addition of `contextlib.aclosing()` unnecessary for most use cases, but until then this could serve as a good counterpart and analogy to `contextlib.closing()`. The same applies for `contextlib.closing` with `__iterclose__()`.
Also, still there are other use cases, e.g., when working with non-generator objects with `aclose()` methods.

bpo-42236: Use UTF-8 encoding if nl_langinfo(CODESET) fails (GH-23086)
If the nl_langinfo(CODESET) function returns an empty string, Python
now uses UTF-8 as the filesystem encoding.

In May 2010 (commit b744ba1d14), I
modified Python to log a warning and use UTF-8 as the filesystem
encoding (instead of None) if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty
string.

In August 2020 (commit 94908bbc15), I
modified Python startup to fail with a fatal error and a specific
error message if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty string. The
intent was to prevent guessing the encoding and also investigate user
configuration where this case happens.

In 10 years (2010 to 2020), I saw zero user report about the error
message related to nl_langinfo(CODESET) returning an empty string.

Today, UTF-8 became the defacto standard and it's safe to make the
assumption that the user expects UTF-8. For example,
nl_langinfo(CODESET) can return an empty string on macOS if the
LC_CTYPE locale is not supported, and UTF-8 is the default encoding
on macOS.

While this change is likely to not affect anyone in practice, it
should make UTF-8 lover happy ;-)

Rewrite also the documentation explaining how Python selects the
filesystem encoding and error handler.

bpo-30681: Support invalid date format or value in email Date header (GH-22090)
I am re-submitting an older PR which was abandoned but is still relevant, #10783 by @timb07.

The issue being solved () is still relevant. The original PR #10783 was closed as
the final request changes were not applied and since abandoned.

In this new PR I have re-used the original patch plus applied both comments from the review, by @maxking and @pganssle.


For reference, here is the original PR description:
In email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime(), a failure to parse the date, or invalid date components (such as hour outside 0..23) raises an exception. Document this behaviour, and add tests to test_email/test_utils.py to confirm this behaviour.

In email.headerregistry.DateHeader.parse(), check when parsedate_to_datetime() raises an exception and add a new defect InvalidDateDefect; preserve the invalid value as the string value of the header, but set the datetime attribute to None.

Add tests to test_email/test_headerregistry.py to confirm this behaviour; also added test to test_email/test_inversion.py to confirm emails with such defective date headers round trip successfully.

This pull request incorporates feedback gratefully received from @bitdancer, @brettcannon, @Mariatta and @warsaw, and replaces the earlier PR #2254.

bpo-35181: Correct importlib documentation for some module attributes (GH-15190)
@ericsnowcurrently This PR will change the following:

In the library documentation importlib.rst:

- `module.__package__` can be `module.__name__` for packages;
- `spec.parent` can be `spec.__name__` for packages;
- `spec.loader` is not `None` for namespaces packages.

In the language documentation import.rst:

- `spec.loader` is not `None` for namespace packages.

Fix bpo-39416: Change "Numeric" to lower case; an english word, not a class name (GH-22867)
This is a trivial fix to [bpo-39416](), which didn't come up until it was already committed

```
Change "Numeric" to "numeric".

I believe this is trivial enough to not need an issue or a NEWS entry, although
I'm unclear on what branches the original pull request received backports.

bpo-39416: Document some restrictions on the default string representations of numeric classes (GH-18111)
[bpo-39416](): Document string representations of the Numeric classes

This is a change to the specification of the Python language.

The idea here is to put sane minimal limits on the Python language's default
representations of its Numeric classes.  That way "Marty's Robotic Massage Parlor
and Python Interpreter" implementation of Python won't do anything too
crazy.
