Fix the documentation of copy2, as it does not copy file ownership (user and
group), only mode, mtime, atime and flags.
The original text was confusing to developers as it suggested that this
command is the same as 'cp -p', but according to cp(1), '-p' copies file
ownership as well.
Clarify which metadata is copied by shutil.copystat in its docstring.
* Use _PyUnicode_Copy in sanitize_isoformat_str
* Use repr in fromisoformat error message
This reverses commit 67b74a98b2 per Serhiy Storchaka's suggestion:
I suggested to use %R in the error message because including the raw
string can be confusing in the case of empty string, or string
containing trailing whitespaces, invisible or unprintable characters.
We agree that it is better to change both the C and pure Python versions
to use repr.
* Retain non-sanitized dtstr for error printing
This does not create an extra string, it just holds on to a reference to
the original input string for purposes of creating the error message.
* PEP 7 fixes to from_isoformat
* Separate handling of Unicode and other errors
In the initial implementation, errors other than encoding errors would
both raise an error indicating an invalid format, which would not be
true for errors like MemoryError.
* Drop needs_decref from _sanitize_isoformat_str
Instead _sanitize_isoformat_str returns a new reference, even to the
original string.
The assignment of i/2 to nk is redundant because on this code path, nk is already the size of the dictionary, and i is already twice the size of the dictionary. I've replaced the store with an assertion that i/2 is nk.
Raise ValueError OverflowError in case of a negative
_length_ in a ctypes.Array subclass. Also raise TypeError
instead of AttributeError for non-integer _length_.

For builtin types with builtin subclasses, help() on the type now shows up
to 4 of the subclasses. This partially replaces the exception hierarchy
information previously displayed in Python 2.7.
path_error() uses GetLastError() on Windows, but some os functions
are implemented via CRT APIs which report errors via errno.
This may result in raising OSError with invalid error code (such
as zero).
Introduce posix_path_error() function and use it where appropriate.
If buffering=1 is specified for open() in binary mode, it is silently
treated as buffering=-1 (i.e., the default buffer size).
Coupled with the fact that line buffering is always supported in Python 2,
such behavior caused several issues (e.g., bpo-10344, bpo-21332).
Warn that line buffering is not supported if open() is called with
binary mode and buffering=1.
The reprlib code was copied here instead of importing reprlib. I'm not sure if we really need to avoid the import, but since I expect dataclasses to be more common that reprlib, it seems wise. Plus, the code is small.
Adding `max_num_fields` to `cgi.FieldStorage` to make DOS attacks harder by
limiting the number of `MiniFieldStorage` objects created by `FieldStorage`.
