* Switch to officially supported curses from 3rd-party ASIS supported ncurses
* stop saying optional modules osaudiodev and spwd are missing on AIX
Patch by M.Felt
* Docs: Improved phrasing
Removed usage of second person pronouns in the section and made the assumption of "uneasiness" in code style transition more neutral.
* Removed trailing whitespace on line 34
* Rename PyImport_Cleanup() to _PyImport_Cleanup() and move it to the
internal C API. Add 'tstate' parameters.
* Remove documentation of _PyImport_Init(), PyImport_Cleanup(),
_PyImport_Fini(). All three were documented as "For internal use
only.".
* Add 'tstate' parameter to many internal import.c functions.
* _PyImportZip_Init() now gets 'tstate' parameter rather than
'interp'.
* Add 'interp' parameter to _PyState_ClearModules() and rename it
to _PyInterpreterState_ClearModules().
* Move private _PyImport_FindBuiltin() to the internal C API; add
'tstate' parameter to it.
* Remove private _PyImport_AddModuleObject() from the C API:
use public PyImport_AddModuleObject() instead.
* Remove private _PyImport_FindExtensionObjectEx() from the C API:
use private _PyImport_FindExtensionObject() instead.
* Add Include/cpython/import.h and Include/internal/pycore_import.h
header files.
* Move _PyImport_ReInitLock() to the internal C API. Don't export the
symbol anymore.
For datetime.datetime.strptime(), the leading zero for some two-digit formats is optional.
This adds a footnote to the strftime/strptime documentation to reflect this fact, and adds some tests to ensure that it is true.

The initialize options are 1) add command line options, which are appended to sys.argv as if passed on a real command line, and 2) skip the shell restart. The customization dialog is accessed by a new entry on the Run menu.
aifc.openfp() alias to aifc.open(), sunau.openfp() alias to
sunau.open(), and wave.openfp() alias to wave.open() have been
removed. They were deprecated since Python 3.7.
Add --upgrade-deps to venv module
- This allows for pip + setuptools to be automatically upgraded to the latest version on PyPI
- Update documentation to represent this change
bpo-34556: Add --upgrade to venv module
Add a new public PyObject_CallNoArgs() function to the C API: call a
callable Python object without any arguments.
It is the most efficient way to call a callback without any argument.
On x86-64, for example, PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL)
allocates 960 bytes on the stack per call, whereas
PyObject_CallNoArgs(func) only allocates 624 bytes per call.
It is excluded from stable ABI 3.8.
Replace private _PyObject_CallNoArg() with public
PyObject_CallNoArgs() in C extensions: _asyncio, _datetime,
_elementtree, _pickle, _tkinter and readline.
