Clarify the zip built-in docstring.
This puts much simpler text up front along with an example.
As it was, the zip built-in docstring was technically correct. But too
technical for the reader who shouldn't _need_ to know about `__next__` and
`StopIteration` as most people do not need to understand the internal
implementation details of the iterator protocol in their daily life.
This is a documentation only change, intended to be backported to 3.8; it is
only tangentially related to PEP-618 which might offer new behavior options
in the future.
Wording based a bit more on enumerate per Brandt's suggestion.
This gets rid of the legacy wording paragraph which seems too tied to
implementation details of the iterator protocol which isn't relevant here.

The constant values of future flags in the __future__ module
is updated in order to prevent collision with compiler flags.
Previously PyCF_ALLOW_TOP_LEVEL_AWAIT was clashing
with CO_FUTURE_DIVISION..

In ArgumentClinic, value "NULL" should now be used only for unrepresentable default values
(like in the optional third parameter of getattr). "None" should be used if None is accepted
as argument and passing None has the same effect as not passing the argument at all.

Add a new _PyCompilerFlags_INIT macro to initialize PyCompilerFlags
variables, rather than initializing cf_flags and cf_feature_version
explicitly in each variable.

Rename compile() feature_version parameter to _feature_version and
convert it to a keyword-only parameter.
Update also test_type_comments to pass feature_version as a tuple.
(cherry picked from commit efdf6ca90f)
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.)

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.
* ast.h now includes Python-ast.h and node.h
* parsetok.h now includes node.h and grammar.h
* symtable.h now includes Python-ast.h
* Modify asdl_c.py to enhance Python-ast.h:
* Add #ifndef/#define Py_PYTHON_AST_H to be able to include the header
twice
* Add "extern { ... }" for C++
* Undefine "Yield" macro conflicting with winbase.h
* Remove "#undef Yield" from C files, it's now done in Python-ast.h
* Remove now useless includes in C files
Use the core configuration of the interpreter, rather
than using global configuration variables. For example, replace
Py_QuietFlag with core_config->quiet.
* Add Include/coreconfig.h
* Move config_*() and _PyCoreConfig_*() functions from Modules/main.c
to a new Python/coreconfig.c file.
* Inline _Py_ReadHashSeed() into config_init_hash_seed()
* Move global configuration variables to coreconfig.c
METH_NOARGS functions need only a single argument but they are cast
into a PyCFunction, which takes two arguments. This triggers an
invalid function cast warning in gcc8 due to the argument mismatch.
Fix this by adding a dummy unused argument.
Clarify that the level argument is used to determine whether to
perform absolute or relative imports: 0 is absolute, while a positive number
is the number of parent directories to search relative to the current module.
* Use wider types (int => Py_ssize_t) to avoid integer overflows.
* Fix gc.get_freeze_count(): use Py_ssize_t type rather than int, since gc_list_size() returns a Py_ssize_t.
AttributeError was raised always when attribute is not found.
This commit skip raising AttributeError when `tp_getattro` is `PyObject_GenericGetAttr`.
It makes hasattr() and getattr() about 4x faster when attribute is not found.
bpo-29240, bpo-32030: If the encoding change (C locale coerced or
UTF-8 Mode changed), Py_Main() now reads again the configuration with
the new encoding.
Changes:
* Add _Py_UnixMain() called by main().
* Rename pymain_free_pymain() to pymain_clear_pymain(), it can now be
called multipled times.
* Rename pymain_parse_cmdline_envvars() to pymain_read_conf().
* Py_Main() now clears orig_argc and orig_argv at exit.
* Remove argv_copy2, Py_Main() doesn't modify argv anymore. There is
no need anymore to get two copies of the wchar_t** argv.
* _PyCoreConfig: add coerce_c_locale and coerce_c_locale_warn.
* Py_UTF8Mode is now initialized to -1.
* Locale coercion (PEP 538) now respects -I and -E options.
* Add -X utf8 command line option, PYTHONUTF8 environment variable
and a new sys.flags.utf8_mode flag.
* If the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" at startup: enable automatically the
UTF-8 mode.
* Add _winapi.GetACP(). encodings._alias_mbcs() now calls
_winapi.GetACP() to get the ANSI code page
* locale.getpreferredencoding() now returns 'UTF-8' in the UTF-8
mode. As a side effect, open() now uses the UTF-8 encoding by
default in this mode.
* Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding
in the UTF-8 Mode.
* Update subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle -X utf8
* Skip some tests relying on the current locale if the UTF-8 mode is
enabled.
* Add test_utf8mode.py.
* _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape() gets a new optional parameter to
return also the length (number of wide characters).
* pymain_get_global_config() and pymain_set_global_config() now
always copy flag values, rather than only copying if the new value
is greater than the old value.
Class execution requires that __prepare__() methods return
a proper execution namespace. Check for that immediately
after calling __prepare__(), rather than passing it through
to the code execution machinery and potentially triggering
SystemError (in debug builds) or a cryptic TypeError
(in release builds).
Patch by Oren Milman.
A bunch of code currently uses PyInterpreterState.modules directly instead of PyImport_GetModuleDict(). This complicates efforts to make changes relative to sys.modules. This patch switches to using PyImport_GetModuleDict() uniformly. Also, a number of related uses of sys.modules are updated for uniformity for the same reason.
Note that this code was already reviewed and merged as part of #1638. I reverted that and am now splitting it up into more focused parts.
PR #1638, for bpo-28411, causes problems in some (very) edge cases. Until that gets sorted out, we're reverting the merge. PR #3506, a fix on top of #1638, is also getting reverted.
