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.
* init commit, with initial tests for from_param and fields __set__ and __get__, and some additions to from_buffer and from_buffer_copy
* added the rest of tests and patches. probably only a first draft.
* removed trailing spaces
* replace ctype with ctypes in error messages
* change back from ctypes instance to ctype instance
The curses module used mkstemp() + fopen() to create a temporary file in
/tmp. The /tmp directory does not exist on Android. The tmpfile()
function simplifies the task a lot. It creates a temporary file in a
correct directory, takes care of cleanup and returns FILE*.
tmpfile is supported on all platforms (C89, POSIX 2001, Android,
Windows).

sock_addr_t is used to define the minimum size of any socket address on
the stack. Let's make sure that an AF_ALG address always fits. Coverity
complains because in theory, AF_ALG might be larger than any of the other
structs. In practice it already fits.

* Fixed bpo-29565: Corrected ctypes passing of large structs by value.
Added code and test to check that when a structure passed by value
is large enough to need to be passed by reference, a copy of the
original structure is passed. The callee updates the passed-in value,
and the test verifies that the caller's copy is unchanged. A similar
change was also added to the test added for bpo-20160 (that test was
passing, but the changes should guard against regressions).
* Reverted unintended whitespace changes.

Issue #29452: Use METH_FASTCALL calling convention for index(), insert() and
rotate() methods of collections.deque to avoid the creation a temporary tuple
to pass position arguments. Speedup on deque methods:
* d.rotate(): 1.10x faster
* d.rotate(1): 1.24x faster
* d.insert(): 1.18x faster
* d.index(): 1.24x faster
Issue #29300: Rename struct.unpack() second parameter from "inputstr" to
"buffer", and use the Py_buffer type.
Fix also unit tests on struct.unpack() which passed a Unicode string instead of
a bytes string as struct.unpack() second parameter. The purpose of
test_trailing_counter() is to test invalid format strings, not to test the
buffer parameter.
* The struct module now requires contiguous buffers.
* Convert most functions and methods of the _struct module to Argument Clinic
* Use "Py_buffer" type for the "buffer" argument. Argument Clinic is
responsible to create and release the Py_buffer object.
* Use "PyStructObject *" type for self to avoid explicit conversions.
* Add an unit test on the _struct.Struct.unpack_from() method to test passing
arguments as keywords.
* Rephrase docstrings.
* Rename "fmt" argument to "format" in docstrings and the documentation.
As a side effect, functions and methods which used METH_VARARGS calling
convention like struct.pack() now use the METH_FASTCALL calling convention
which avoids the creation of temporary tuple to pass positional arguments and
so is faster. For example, struct.pack("i", 1) becomes 1.56x faster (-36%)::
$ ./python -m perf timeit \
-s 'import struct; pack=struct.pack' 'pack("i", 1)' \
--compare-to=../default-ref/python
Median +- std dev: 119 ns +- 1 ns -> 76.8 ns +- 0.4 ns: 1.56x faster (-36%)
Significant (t=295.91)
