Examples of the `multiprocessing.shared_memory` module try to import `SharedMemoryManager` from `multiprocessing.shared_memory` whereas this class is defined in `multiprocessing.managers`.
Clarify capturing or suppressing stdout and stderr on the old call APIs.
Do not state that they are equivalent to run() calls when they are not implemented using run as that was misleading. Unlike run they cannot handle stdout or stderr being set to PIPE without a risk of deadlock.
Clarify that the naming of protocol handler methods shouldn't be literally called "protocol" but should be named after the actual protocol.

* Replace external recipe link with a link to the dataclasses module.
* Highlight the class definition syntax for typing.NamedTuple
and add an example for clarity.
This adds a `feature_version` flag to `ast.parse()` (documented) and `compile()` (hidden) that allow tweaking the parser to support older versions of the grammar. In particular if `feature_version` is 5 or 6, the hacks for the `async` and `await` keyword from PEP 492 are reinstated. (For 7 or higher, these are unconditionally treated as keywords, but they are still special tokens rather than `NAME` tokens that the parser driver recognizes.)

Methods are always bound, and `__self__` can no longer be `NULL`
(`method_new()` and `PyMethod_New()` both explicitly check for this).
Moreover, once a bound method is bound, it *stays* bound and won't be re-bound
to something else, so the section in the datamodel that talks about accessing
an methods in a different descriptor-binding context doesn't apply any more in
Python 3.
Use UTF-8 as the system encoding on VxWorks.
The main reason are:
1. The locale is frequently misconfigured.
2. Missing some functions to deal with locale in VxWorks C library.
It is changed from 16KiB to 64KiB. The previous default value
is used since 1990.
coreutils chose 128 KiB as minimum buffer size for block device I/O.
But shutil.copyfileobj() can be used for non block devices.
So I choose more conservative value.
As my quick benchmark, performance difference between 64KiB and
128 KiB is up to ~5%. On the other hand, performance difference
between 32 KiB and 64 KiB can be more than 10% when file is fully
buffered.
This is why 64 KiB is rational value.
Responding to suggestions on the tracker and some off-line suggestions.
Davin suggested that english named accessors instead of greek letters would result in more intelligible user code. Steven suggested that the parameters still need to be *mu* and *theta* which are used elsewhere (and I noted those parameter names are used in linked-to resources).
Michael suggested proving-out the API by seeing whether it generalized to *Lognormal*. I did so and found that Lognormal distribution parameters *mu* and *sigma* do not represent the mean and standard deviation of the lognormal distribution (instead, they are for the underlying regular normal distribution).
Putting these ideas together, we have NormalDist parameterized by *mu* and *sigma* but offering English named properties for accessors. That gives lets us match other API that access mu and sigma, it matches the external resources on the topic, gives us clear english names in user code. The API extends nicely to LogNormal where the parameters and the summary statistic accessors are not the same.

It checks that a SyntaxWarning is raised when compile specified
statement, that it is raised only once, that it is converted to
a SyntaxError when raised as exception, and that both warning and
exception objects have corresponding attributes.
Need to reset capturing groups between two SRE(match) callings in loops, this fixes wrong capturing groups in rare cases.
Also add a missing index in re.rst.
Documentation of sys.stdin/out/err update to reflect change in 3.6 on Windows to use UTF-8.
Wording by Eryk Sun and Paul Moore.
https://bugs.python.org/issue30410
The previous wording could be read as saying that universal
newlines mode itself was deprecated, when it's only the 'U'
character in the mode field that should be avoided.
The update also moves the description of the 'U' mode character
out of the mode table, as the longer explanation was overly
intrusive as a table entry and overshadowed the actually useful
mode characters.
* Add tokenization of :=
- Add token to Include/token.h. Add token to documentation in Doc/library/token.rst.
- Run `./python Lib/token.py` to regenerate Lib/token.py.
- Update Parser/tokenizer.c: add case to handle `:=`.
* Add initial usage of := in grammar.
* Update Python.asdl to match the grammar updates. Regenerated Include/Python-ast.h and Python/Python-ast.c
* Update AST and compiler files in Python/ast.c and Python/compile.c. Basic functionality, this isn't scoped properly
* Regenerate Lib/symbol.py using `./python Lib/symbol.py`
* Tests - Fix failing tests in test_parser.py due to changes in token numbers for internal representation
* Tests - Add simple test for := token
* Tests - Add simple tests for named expressions using expr and suite
* Tests - Update number of levels for nested expressions to prevent stack overflow
* Update symbol table to handle NamedExpr
* Update Grammar to allow assignment expressions in if statements.
Regenerate Python/graminit.c accordingly using `make regen-grammar`
* Tests - Add additional tests for named expressions in RoundtripLegalSyntaxTestCase, based on examples and information directly from PEP 572
Note: failing tests are currently commented out (4 out of 24 tests currently fail)
* Tests - Add temporary syntax test failure tests in test_parser.py
Note: There is an outstanding TODO for this -- syntax tests need to be
moved to a different file (presumably test_syntax.py), but this is
covering what needs to be tested at the moment, and it's more convenient
to run a single test for the time being
* Add support for allowing assignment expressions as function argument annotations. Uncomment tests for these cases because they all pass now!
* Tests - Move existing syntax tests out of test_parser.py and into test_named_expressions.py. Refactor syntax tests to use unittest
* Add TargetScopeError exception to extend SyntaxError
Note: This simply creates the TargetScopeError exception, it is not yet
used anywhere
* Tests - Update tests per PEP 572
Continue refactoring test suite:
The named expression test suite now checks for any invalid cases that
throw exceptions (no longer limited to SyntaxErrors), assignment tests
to ensure that variables are properly assigned, and scope tests to
ensure that variable availability and values are correct
Note:
- There are still tests that are marked to skip, as they are not yet
implemented
- There are approximately 300 lines of the PEP that have not yet been
addressed, though these may be deferred
* Documentation - Small updates to XXX/todo comments
- Remove XXX from child description in ast.c
- Add comment with number of previously supported nested expressions for
3.7.X in test_parser.py
* Fix assert in seq_for_testlist()
* Cleanup - Denote "Not implemented -- No keyword args" on failing test case. Fix PEP8 error for blank lines at beginning of test classes in test_parser.py
* Tests - Wrap all file opens in `with...as` to ensure files are closed
* WIP: handle f(a := 1)
* Tests and Cleanup - No longer skips keyword arg test. Keyword arg test now uses a simpler test case and does not rely on an external file. Remove print statements from ast.c
* Tests - Refactor last remaining test case that relied on on external file to use a simpler test case without the dependency
* Tests - Add better description of remaning skipped tests. Add test checking scope when using assignment expression in a function argument
* Tests - Add test for nested comprehension, testing value and scope. Fix variable name in skipped comprehension scope test
* Handle restriction of LHS for named expressions - can only assign to LHS of type NAME. Specifically, restrict assignment to tuples
This adds an alternative set_context specifically for named expressions,
set_namedexpr_context. Thus, context is now set differently for standard
assignment versus assignment for named expressions in order to handle
restrictions.
* Tests - Update negative test case for assigning to lambda to match new error message. Add negative test case for assigning to tuple
* Tests - Reorder test cases to group invalid syntax cases and named assignment target errors
* Tests - Update test case for named expression in function argument - check that result and variable are set correctly
* Todo - Add todo for TargetScopeError based on Guido's comment (2b3acd37bd (r30472562))
* Tests - Add named expression tests for assignment operator in function arguments
Note: One of two tests are skipped, as function arguments are currently treating
an assignment expression inside of parenthesis as one child, which does
not properly catch the named expression, nor does it count arguments
properly
* Add NamedStore to expr_context. Regenerate related code with `make regen-ast`
* Add usage of NamedStore to ast_for_named_expr in ast.c. Update occurances of checking for Store to also handle NamedStore where appropriate
* Add ste_comprehension to _symtable_entry to track if the namespace is a comprehension. Initialize ste_comprehension to 0. Set set_comprehension to 1 in symtable_handle_comprehension
* s/symtable_add_def/symtable_add_def_helper. Add symtable_add_def to handle grabbing st->st_cur and passing it to symtable_add_def_helper. This now allows us to call the original code from symtable_add_def by instead calling symtable_add_def_helper with a different ste.
* Refactor symtable_record_directive to take lineno and col_offset as arguments instead of stmt_ty. This allows symtable_record_directive to be used for stmt_ty and expr_ty
* Handle elevating scope for named expressions in comprehensions.
* Handle error for usage of named expression inside a class block
* Tests - No longer skip scope tests. Add additional scope tests
* Cleanup - Update error message for named expression within a comprehension within a class. Update comments. Add assert for symtable_extend_namedexpr_scope to validate that we always find at least a ModuleScope if we don't find a Class or FunctionScope
* Cleanup - Add missing case for NamedStore in expr_context_name. Remove unused var in set_namedexpr_content
* Refactor - Consolidate set_context and set_namedexpr_context to reduce duplicated code. Special cases for named expressions are handled by checking if ctx is NamedStore
* Cleanup - Add additional use cases for ast_for_namedexpr in usage comment. Fix multiple blank lines in test_named_expressions
* Tests - Remove unnecessary test case. Renumber test case function names
* Remove TargetScopeError for now. Will add back if needed
* Cleanup - Small comment nit for consistency
* Handle positional argument check with named expression
* Add TargetScopeError exception definition. Add documentation for TargetScopeError in c-api docs. Throw TargetScopeError instead of SyntaxError when using a named expression in a comprehension within a class scope
* Increase stack size for parser by 200. This is a minimal change (approx. 5kb) and should not have an impact on any systems. Update parser test to allow 99 nested levels again
* Add TargetScopeError to exception_hierarchy.txt for test_baseexception.py_
* Tests - Major update for named expression tests, both in test_named_expressions and test_parser
- Add test for TargetScopeError
- Add tests for named expressions in comprehension scope and edge cases
- Add tests for named expressions in function arguments (declarations
and call sites)
- Reorganize tests to group them more logically
* Cleanup - Remove unnecessary comment
* Cleanup - Comment nitpicks
* Explicitly disallow assignment expressions to a name inside parentheses, e.g.: ((x) := 0)
- Add check for LHS types to detect a parenthesis then a name (see note)
- Add test for this scenario
- Update tests for changed error message for named assignment to a tuple
(also, see note)
Note: This caused issues with the previous error handling for named assignment
to a LHS that contained an expression, such as a tuple. Thus, the check
for the LHS of a named expression must be changed to be more specific if
we wish to maintain the previous error messages
* Cleanup - Wrap lines more strictly in test file
* Revert "Explicitly disallow assignment expressions to a name inside parentheses, e.g.: ((x) := 0)"
This reverts commit f1531400ca7d7a2d148830c8ac703f041740896d.
* Add NEWS.d entry
* Tests - Fix error in test_pickle.test_exceptions by adding TargetScopeError to list of exceptions
* Tests - Update error message tests to reflect improved messaging convention (s/can't/cannot)
* Remove cases that cannot be reached in compile.c. Small linting update.
* Update Grammar/Tokens to add COLONEQUAL. Regenerate all files
* Update TargetScopeError PRE_INIT and POST_INIT, as this was purposefully left out when fixing rebase conflicts
* Add NamedStore back and regenerate files
* Pass along line number and end col info for named expression
* Simplify News entry
* Fix compiler warning and explicity mark fallthrough
* subprocess.Popen can now also use os.posix_spawn() with pipes,
but only if pipe file descriptors are greater than 2.
* Fix Popen._posix_spawn(): set '_child_created' attribute to True.
* Add Popen._close_pipe_fds() helper function to factorize the code.
* The PyByteArray_Init() and PyByteArray_Fini() functions have been
removed. They did nothing since Python 2.7.4 and Python 3.2.0, were
excluded from the limited API (stable ABI), and were not
documented.
* Move "_PyXXX_Init()" and "_PyXXX_Fini()" declarations from
Include/cpython/pylifecycle.h to
Include/internal/pycore_pylifecycle.h. Replace
"PyAPI_FUNC(TYPE)" with "extern TYPE".
* _PyExc_Init() now returns an error on failure rather than calling
Py_FatalError(). Move macros inside _PyExc_Init() and undefine them
when done. Rewrite macros to make them look more like statement:
add ";" when using them, add "do { ... } while (0)".
* _PyUnicode_Init() now returns a _PyInitError error rather than call
Py_FatalError().
* Move stdin check from _PySys_BeginInit() to init_sys_streams().
* _Py_ReadyTypes() now returns a _PyInitError error rather than
calling Py_FatalError().
The majority of this PR is tediously passing `end_lineno` and `end_col_offset` everywhere. Here are non-trivial points:
* It is not possible to reconstruct end positions in AST "on the fly", some information is lost after an AST node is constructed, so we need two more attributes for every AST node `end_lineno` and `end_col_offset`.
* I add end position information to both CST and AST. Although it may be technically possible to avoid adding end positions to CST, the code becomes more cumbersome and less efficient.
* Since the end position is not known for non-leaf CST nodes while the next token is added, this requires a bit of extra care (see `_PyNode_FinalizeEndPos`). Unless I made some mistake, the algorithm should be linear.
* For statements, I "trim" the end position of suites to not include the terminal newlines and dedent (this seems to be what people would expect), for example in
```python
class C:
pass
pass
```
the end line and end column for the class definition is (2, 8).
* For `end_col_offset` I use the common Python convention for indexing, for example for `pass` the `end_col_offset` is 4 (not 3), so that `[0:4]` gives one the source code that corresponds to the node.
* I added a helper function `ast.get_source_segment()`, to get source text segment corresponding to a given AST node. It is also useful for testing.
An (inevitable) downside of this PR is that AST now takes almost 25% more memory. I think however it is probably justified by the benefits.
Typo fix for method doc, I'm pretty sure coro is meant, because there's no consumer threads for thread-unsafe queue.
Most probably this piece of doc was copied from `queue.Queue`
There's not BPO bug for this, afaik.
While the introduction of ModuleNotFoundError was fully backwards
compatible on the import API consumer side, folks providing alternative
implementations of `__import__` need to make an update to be
forward compatible with clients that start relying on the new subclass.

The subprocess module can now use the os.posix_spawn() function
in some cases for better performance. Currently, it is only used on macOS
and Linux (using glibc 2.24 or newer) if all these conditions are met:
* executable path contains a directory
* close_fds=False
* preexec_fn, pass_fds, cwd, stdin, stdout, stderr
and start_new_session parameters are not set

As in title, expose C `raise` function as `raise_function` in `signal` module. Also drop existing `raise_signal` in `_testcapi` module and replace all usages with new function.
https://bugs.python.org/issue35568
"Include/token.h", "Lib/token.py" (containing now some data moved from
"Lib/tokenize.py") and new files "Parser/token.c" (containing the code
moved from "Parser/tokenizer.c") and "Doc/library/token-list.inc" (included
in "Doc/library/token.rst") are now generated from "Grammar/Tokens" by
"Tools/scripts/generate_token.py". The script overwrites files only if
needed and can be used on the read-only sources tree.
"Lib/symbol.py" is now generated by "Tools/scripts/generate_symbol_py.py"
instead of been executable itself.
Added new make targets "regen-token" and "regen-symbol" which are now
dependencies of "regen-all".
The documentation contains now strings for operators and punctuation tokens.
The Code Context menu label now toggles between Show/Hide Code Context.
The Zoom Height menu now toggles between Zoom/Restore Height.
Zoom Height has moved from the Window menu to the Options menu.

Fixed some errors in refcounts.dat, remove functions removed in
Python 3, and add more entries for documented functions. This will
add several automatically generated notes about return values.
Makes the documentation more comprehensive in terms of indicating
whether or not a function returns a new reference.
Also fixes some errors and adds missing functions.
Fixes `loop.add_writer` and `loop.add_signal_handler` method documentation to correctly reference the callback parameter from method signature.

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.
Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS excluding Argument Clinic generated code.
That section is a tip on how to kill process on Windows for Python prior to 2.7 and 3.2.
3.1 end of support was April 2012 and 2.6 was October 2013, so that hasn't been need for supported versions of Python for more than 5 years. Beside not being needed anymore for a long time, when I read it with the eyes of a Python profane, it makes Python looks bad, like a language from the parts with warts you need to circumvent.
Let's delete that :)
locale.localeconv() now sets temporarily the LC_CTYPE locale to the
LC_MONETARY locale if the two locales are different and monetary
strings are non-ASCII. This temporary change affects other threads.
Changes:
* locale.localeconv() can now set LC_CTYPE to LC_MONETARY to decode
monetary fields.
* Add LocaleInfo.grouping_buffer: copy localeconv() grouping string
since it can be replaced anytime if a different thread calls
localeconv().
* _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric() now requires a "struct lconv *"
structure, so locale.localeconv() now longer calls localeconv()
twice. Moreover, the function now requires all arguments to be
non-NULL.
* Rename STATIC_LOCALE_INFO_INIT to LocaleInfo_STATIC_INIT.
* Move _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric() definition from fileutils.h
to pycore_fileutils.h. pycore_fileutils.h now includes locale.h.
* The _locale module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE defined.
