My mentee @xvxvxvxvxv noticed that iterating over array.array is
slightly faster than iterating over bytes. Looking at the source I
observed that arrayiter_next() calls `getitem(ao, it->index++)` wheras
striter_next() uses the idiom (paraphrased)
item = PyLong_FromLong(seq->ob_sval[it->it_index]);
if (item != NULL)
++it->it_next;
return item;
I'm not 100% sure but I think that the second version has fewer
opportunity for the CPU to overlap the `index++` operation with the
rest of the code (which in both cases involves a call). So here I am
optimistically incrementing the index -- if the PyLong_FromLong() call
fails, this will leave the iterator pointing at the next byte, but
honestly I doubt that anyone would seriously consider resuming use of
the iterator after that kind of failure (it would have to be a
MemoryError). And the author of arrayiter_next() made the same
consideration (or never ever gave it a thought :-).
With this, a loop like
for _ in b: pass
is now slightly *faster* than the same thing over an equivalent array,
rather than slightly *slower* (in both cases a few percent).
Walk down the MRO backwards to find the type that originally defined the final `tp_setattro`, then make sure we are not jumping over intermediate C-level bases with the Python-level call.

* Merge gen and frame state variables into one.
* Replace stack pointer with depth in PyFrameObject. Makes code easier to read and saves a word of memory.
* Add failing test.
* bpo-29590: fix stack trace for gen.throw() with yield from (GH-NNNN)
When gen.throw() is called on a generator after a "yield from", the
intermediate stack trace entries are lost. This commit fixes that.
Always create the empty bytes string singleton.
Optimize PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(str, 0): it no longer has to check
if the empty string singleton was created or not, it is always
available.
Add functions:
* _PyBytes_Init()
* bytes_get_empty(), bytes_new_empty()
* bytes_create_empty_string_singleton()
* unicode_create_empty_string_singleton()
_Py_unicode_state: rename empty structure member to empty_string.
Py_InitializeFromConfig() now always creates the empty tuple
singleton as soon as possible.
Optimize PyTuple_New(0): it no longer has to check if the empty tuple
was created or not, it is always creatd.
* Add tuple_create_empty_tuple_singleton() function.
* Add tuple_get_empty() function.
* Remove state parameter of tuple_alloc().
Each interpreter now has its own Unicode latin1 singletons.
Remove "ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS"
and "ifdef LATIN1_SINGLETONS": always enable latin1 singletons.
Optimize unicode_result_ready(): only attempt to get a latin1
singleton for PyUnicode_1BYTE_KIND.
Functions of unicodeobject.c, like PyUnicode_New(), no longer check
if the empty Unicode singleton has been initialized or not. Consider
that it is always initialized. The Unicode API must not be used
before _PyUnicode_Init() or after _PyUnicode_Fini().
Each interpreter now has its own MemoryError free list: it is not
longer shared by all interpreters.
Add _Py_exc_state structure and PyInterpreterState.exc_state member.
Move also errnomap into _Py_exc_state.
* Revert "bpo-40521: Make the empty frozenset per interpreter (GH-21068)"
This reverts commit 261cfedf76.
* bpo-40521: Empty frozensets are no longer singletons
* Complete the removal of the frozenset singleton
Each interpreter now has its own empty bytes string and single byte
character singletons.
Replace STRINGLIB_EMPTY macro with STRINGLIB_GET_EMPTY() macro.
Each interpreter now has its own dict free list:
* Move dict free lists into PyInterpreterState.
* Move PyDict_MAXFREELIST define to pycore_interp.h
* Add _Py_dict_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyDict_ClearFreeList() and _PyDict_Fini().
* In debug mode, ensure that the dict free lists are not used after
_PyDict_Fini() is called.
* Remove "#ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS".
Unexpected errors in calling the __iter__ method are no longer
masked by TypeError in the "in" operator and functions
operator.contains(), operator.indexOf() and operator.countOf().
The PyObject_INIT() and PyObject_INIT_VAR() macros become aliases to,
respectively, PyObject_Init() and PyObject_InitVar() functions.
Rename _PyObject_INIT() and _PyObject_INIT_VAR() static inline
functions to, respectively, _PyObject_Init() and _PyObject_InitVar(),
and move them to pycore_object.h. Remove their return value:
their return type becomes void.
The _datetime module is now built with the Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro
defined.
Remove an outdated comment on _Py_tracemalloc_config.
In GH-2866, _Py_Bit_Length() was added to pymath.h for lack of a better
location. GH-20518 added a more appropriate header file for bit utilities. It
also shows how to properly use intrinsics. This allows reconsidering bpo-29782.
* Move the function to the new header.
* Changed return type to match __builtin_clzl() and reviewed usage.
* Use intrinsics where available.
* Pick a fallback implementation suitable for inlining.
