When using multiprocessing (-jN option), worker processes now create
their temporary directory inside the temporary directory of the
main process. So the main process is able to remove temporary
directories of worker processes even if they crash or when they are
killed by regrtest on KeyboardInterrupt (CTRL+c).
Rework also how multiprocessing arguments are parsed in main.py.
Removes more legacy distutils documentation, and more clearly
marks what is left as potentially outdated, with references to
setuptools as a replacement.
"python3 -m test -jN ..." now continues the execution of next tests
when a worker process crash (CHILD_ERROR state). Previously, the test
suite stopped immediately. Use --failfast to stop at the first error.
Moreover, --forever now also implies --failfast.
Remove the PyEval_ReInitThreads() function from the Python C API.
It should not be called explicitly: use PyOS_AfterFork_Child()
instead.
Rename PyEval_ReInitThreads() to _PyEval_ReInitThreads() and add a
'runtime' parameter.
In the parser, when using the type_comments=True option, recognize
a TYPE_IGNORE as anything containing `# type: ignore` followed by
a non-alphanumeric character. This is to allow ignores such as
`# type: ignore[E1000]`.
The multiprocessing.resource_tracker replaces the multiprocessing.semaphore_tracker module. Other than semaphores, resource_tracker also tracks shared_memory segments. Patch by Pierre Glaser.
Add new trashcan macros to deal with a double deallocation that could occur when the `tp_dealloc` of a subclass calls the `tp_dealloc` of a base class and that base class uses the trashcan mechanism.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.
Extended attributes can only be set on user-writeable files, but shutil previously
first chmod()ed the destination file to the source's permissions and then tried to
copy xattrs. This will cause failures if attempting to copy read-only files with
xattrs, as occurs with Git clones on Lustre FS.
Having multiple paragraphs in a few news entry lead to inconsistent
spacing while rendered in HTML by mixing "visually compact lists"
(when no entry of the whole list contains multiple paragraphs) and
"sparse lists" (when at least one do).
If a "=" is specified a the end of an f-string expression, the f-string will evaluate to the text of the expression, followed by '=', followed by the repr of the value of the expression.
Allow reduction methods to return a 6-item tuple where the 6th item specifies a
custom state-setting method that's called instead of the regular
``__setstate__`` method.

* BPO-27639: Correct return type for UserList slicing operation
Added logic to __getitem__ magic method for UserList to ensure that the return
type matches that of self.
When the future returned by shield is cancelled, its completion callback of the
inner future is not removed. This makes the callback list of inner inner future
grow each time a shield is created and cancelled.
This change unregisters the callback from the inner future when the outer
future is cancelled.

*Moved from python/asyncio#493.*
This PR fixes issue python/asyncio#480, as explained in [this comment](https://github.com/python/asyncio/issues/480#issuecomment-278703828).
The `_SelectorDatagramTransport.sendto` method has to be modified ~~so `_sock.sendto` is used in all cases (because it is tricky to reliably tell if the socket is connected or not). Could that be an issue for connected sockets?~~ *EDIT* ... so `_sock.send` is used only if `_sock` is connected.
It also protects `socket.getsockname` against `OSError` in `_SelectorTransport`. This might happen on Windows if the socket is not connected (e.g. for UDP broadcasting).

Instead of attempting to acquire and release them all across fork
which was leading to deadlocks in some applications that had chained
their own handlers while holding multiple locks.
Modern Linux distros such as Debian Buster have default OpenSSL system
configurations that reject connections to servers with weak certificates
by default. This causes our test suite run with external networking
resources enabled to skip these tests when they encounter such a failure.
Fixing the network servers is a separate issue.
