sys._base_executable is now always defined on all platforms, and can be overridden through configuration.
Also adds test.support.PythonSymlink to encapsulate platform-specific logic for symlinking sys.executable
Replace os.popen() with subprocess.check_output() in the platform module:
* platform.uname() (its _syscmd_ver() helper function) now redirects
stderr to DEVNULL.
* Remove platform.DEV_NULL.
* _syscmd_uname() and _syscmd_file() no longer catch AttributeError.
The "except AttributeError:" was only needed in Python 2, when
os.popen() was not always available. In Python 3,
subprocess.check_output() is always available.
platform.libc_ver() now uses os.confstr('CS_GNU_LIBC_VERSION') if
available and the *executable* parameter is not set. The default
value of the libc_ver() *executable* parameter becomes None.
Quick benchmark on Fedora 29:
python3 -m perf command ./python -S -c 'import platform; platform.libc_ver()'
94.9 ms +- 4.3 ms -> 33.2 ms +- 1.4 ms: 2.86x faster (-65%)
Remove platform.popen() function, it was deprecated since Python 3.3:
use os.popen() instead.
Rename also the "Removed" section to "API and Feature Removals"
of What's New in Python 3.8.
* Add support.MS_WINDOWS: True if Python is running on Microsoft Windows.
* Add support.MACOS: True if Python is running on Apple macOS.
* Replace support.is_android with support.ANDROID
* Replace support.is_jython with support.JYTHON
* Cleanup code to initialize unix_shell
CPython migrated from CVS to Subversion, to Mercurial, and then to
Git. CVS and Subversion are not more used to develop CPython.
* platform module: drop support for sys.subversion. The
sys.subversion attribute has been removed in Python 3.3.
* Remove Misc/svnmap.txt
* Remove Tools/scripts/svneol.py
* Remove Tools/scripts/treesync.py
sys.version and the platform module python_build(),
python_branch(), and python_revision() functions now use
git information rather than hg when building from a repo.
Based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve Dower.
`mkdir -p` and `os.makedirs()` functionality. When true, ignore
FileExistsErrors. Patch by Berker Peksag.
(With minor cleanups, additional tests, doc tweaks, etc. by Barry)
Also:
* Remove some unused imports in test_pathlib.py reported by pyflakes.
encoding with the surrogateescape error handler, instead of decoding from the
locale encoding in strict mode. It fixes the function on Fedora 19 which is
probably the first major distribution release with a non-ASCII name. Patch
written by Toshio Kuratomi.
In order to create symlinks on Windows, SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege
is an account privilege that is required to be held by the user. Not only
must the privilege be enabled for the account, the activated privileges for
the currently running application must be adjusted to enable the requested
privilege.
Rather than exposing an additional function to be called prior to the user's
first os.symlink call, we handle the AdjustTokenPrivileges Windows API call
internally and only expose os.symlink when the privilege escalation was
successful.
Due to the change of only exposing os.symlink when it's available, we can
go back to the original test skipping methods of checking via `hasattr`.

Fix for issue 7895. Avoid crashing the interpreter
when calling platform.mac_ver after calling os.fork by
reading from a system configuration file instead of
using OSX APIs.
........
Added Windows support for os.symlink when run on Windows 6.0 or greater,
aka Vista. Previous Windows versions will raise NotImplementedError
when trying to symlink.
Includes numerous test updates and additions to test_os, including
a symlink_support module because of the fact that privilege escalation
is required in order to run the tests to ensure that the user is able
to create symlinks. By default, accounts do not have the required
privilege, so the escalation code will have to be exposed later (or
documented on how to do so). I'll be following up with that work next.
Note that the tests use ctypes, which was agreed on during the PyCon
language summit.
