This exposes a Linux-specific syscall for sending a signal to a process
identified by a file descriptor rather than a pid.
For simplicity, we don't support the siginfo_t parameter to the syscall. This
parameter allows implementing a pidfd version of rt_sigqueueinfo(2), which
Python also doesn't support.
The C-API docs are a bit sparse on the interplay between C `fork()` and the CPython runtime. This change adds some more information on the subject.

Small docs update for [bpo-34651](https://bugs.python.org/issue34651).
Other references to fork (e.g. the PyOS.*Fork functions or discussions of fork() when embedding Python) point back to os.fork, so I don't think any other updates are needed.

bpo-3605, bpo-38733: Optimize _PyErr_Occurred(): remove "tstate ==
NULL" test.
Py_FatalError() no longer calls PyErr_Occurred() if called without
holding the GIL. So PyErr_Occurred() no longer has to support
tstate==NULL case.
_Py_CheckFunctionResult(): use directly _PyErr_Occurred() to avoid
explicit "!= NULL" test.
Additional note: the `method_check_args` function in `Objects/descrobject.c` is written in such a way that it applies to all kinds of descriptors. In particular, a future re-implementation of `wrapper_descriptor` could use that code.

Important work originally done by @emilyemorehouse two years ago and nearly ready to go in.
This bug has affected many people and in some cases has been a dealbreaker to the adoption of the otherwise wonderful pathlib and PEP519. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33625931/copy-file-with-pathlib-in-python.
This adds the outstanding test request from that PR @vstinner (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5393).
Test fails without the change, passes with it, along with every other test in test_shutil.
Some variants were experimented with to make the one line change and the most performant one was picked.

# Performance Considerations
Is it considered poor form to get rid of _basename altogether and make use of pathlib in the move function? I'm not sure if the idea is for all these modules to strictly avoid circular dependencies. They are already using os.path which is just as much a citizen in 3.8 as pathlib right?
e.g.
`real_dst = os.path.join(dst, _basename(src))`
becomes
`real_dst = Path(dst) / Path(src).name`
I've looked around and familiarized myself, and I now think importing pathlib here is fine. My only remaining concern is that of performance.
Here's the performance difference for this step.
```
In [46]: %timeit real_dst = os.path.join("a/b/c", _basename('b/'))
2.71 µs ± 62.6 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)
In [47]: %timeit real_dst = Path("a/b/c") / Path('b/').name
12.4 µs ± 65.3 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)
```
Is 10us significant or insignificant compared to the least expensive operation this function will do? I don't know. Let's find out.
```
In [55]: %timeit os.rename('/tmp/a/a.txt', '/tmp/a/b.txt'); os.rename('/tmp/a/b.txt', '/tmp/a/a.txt')
124 µs ± 2.18 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
```
62us to rename. 10us seems significant enough that we wouldn't want to favor the Path sugar suggestion. 16% speed decrease from adding the 10us.
What do people think? I was hoping to get to use pathlib.Path here, but I suspect for this low level move, it should be as fast as possible, and 16% is not worth one line of sugary code to me.

Fix warnings options priority: PyConfig.warnoptions has the highest
priority, as stated in the PEP 587.
* Document options order in PyConfig.warnoptions documentation.
* Make PyWideStringList_INIT macro private: replace "Py" prefix
with "_Py".
* test_embed: add test_init_warnoptions().
Add a new struct_size field to PyPreConfig and PyConfig structures to
allow to modify these structures in the future without breaking the
backward compatibility.
* Replace private _config_version field with public struct_size field
in PyPreConfig and PyConfig.
* Public PyPreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig() and
PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
return type becomes PyStatus, instead of void.
* Internal _PyConfig_InitCompatConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitCompatConfig(), _PyPreConfig_InitFromConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitFromPreConfig() return type becomes PyStatus,
instead of void.
* Remove _Py_CONFIG_VERSION
* Update the Initialization Configuration documentation.
* Raise the limit of maximum path depth to actual recursion limit
* Add posibilities to adjust a path compiled in .pyc file.
Now, you can:
- Strip a part of path from a beggining of path into compiled file
example "-s /test /test/build/real/test.py" → "build/real/test.py"
- Append some new path to a beggining of path into compiled file
example "-p /boo real/test.py" → "/boo/real/test.py"
You can also use both options in the same time. In that case,
striping is done before appending.
* Add a possibility to specify multiple optimization levels
Each optimization level then leads to separated compiled file.
Use `action='append'` instead of `nargs='+'` for the -o option.
Instead of `-o 0 1 2`, specify `-o 0 -o 1 -o 2`. It's more to type,
but much more explicit.
* Add a symlinks limitation feature
This feature allows us to limit byte-compilation of symbolic
links if they are pointing outside specified dir (build root
for example).
* Add test_embed.test_init_setpath_config(): test Py_SetPath()
with PyConfig.
* test_init_setpath() and test_init_setpythonhome() no longer call
Py_SetProgramName(), but use the default program name.
* _PyPathConfig: isolated, site_import and base_executable
fields are now only available on Windows.
* If executable is set explicitly in the configuration, ignore
calculated base_executable: _PyConfig_InitPathConfig() copies
executable to base_executable.
* Complete path config documentation.
Py_SetPath() now sets sys.executable to the program full path
(Py_GetProgramFullPath()), rather than to the program name
(Py_GetProgramName()).
Fix also memory leaks in pathconfig_set_from_config().
Mention frame.f_trace in sys.settrace docs, as well as the fact you still
need to call `sys.settrace` to enable the tracing machinery before setting
`frame.f_trace` will have any effect.
This PR replaces the old note mentioning that `typing` is a provisional module with a new one mentioning types are not enforced at runtime. I am not sure if there was any official announcement about making `typing` non-provisional, but _de-facto_ no new features were added during Python 3.7, and no backwards incompatible changes were made except for few small things that were considered bugs.
Typically, the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is *whence*. That is the POSIX standard name (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/lseek.3p.html) and the name listed in the documentation for ``io`` module (https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase.seek).
The tutorial for IO is the only location where the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is referred to as *from_what*. I suspect this was created at an early point in Python's history, and was never updated (as this section predates the GitHub repository):
```
$ git grep "from_what"
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:To change the file object's position, use ``f.seek(offset, from_what)``. The position is computed
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the *from_what* argument. A *from_what* value of 0 measures from the beginning
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the reference point. *from_what* can be omitted and defaults to 0, using the
```
For consistency, I am suggesting that the tutorial be updated to use the same argument name as the IO documentation and POSIX standard for ``seek()``, particularly since this is the only location where *from_what* is being used.
Note: In the POSIX standard, *whence* is technically the third positional argument, but the first argument *fildes* (file descriptor) is implicit in Python.

This is a restructuring of the datetime documentation to hopefully make
them more user-friendly and approachable to new users without losing any
of the detail.
Changes include:
- Creating dedicated subsections for some concepts such as:
- "Constants"
- "Naive vs Aware"
- "Determining if an Object is Aware"
- Give 'naive vs aware' its own subsection
- Give 'constants' their own subsection
- Overhauling the strftime-strptime section by:
- Breaking it into logical, linkable, and digestable parts
- Adding a high-level comparison table
- Moving the technical detail to bottom: readers come to this
section primarily to remind themselves to things:
- How do I write the format code for X?
- strptime/strftime: which one is which again?
- Touching up fromisoformat + isoformat sections by:
- Revising fromisoformat + isoformat for date, time, and
datetime
- Adding basic examples
- Enforcing consistency about putting formats (i.e. ``HH:MM``)
in double backticks. This was previously done in some places
but not all
- Putting long 'supported formats', on their own line to improve
readability
- Moving the 'seealso' section to the top and add a link to dateutil
Rationale: This doesn't really belong nested under the
'constants' section. Let readers know right away that
datetime is one of several related tools.
- Moving common features of several types into one place:
Previously, each type went out of its way to note separately
that it was hashable and picklable. These can be brought
into one single place that is more prominent.
- Reducing some verbose explanations to improve readability
- Breaking up long paragraphs into digestable chunks
- Displaying longer "equivalent to" examples, as short code blocks
- Using the dot notation for datetime/time classes:
Use :class:`.time` and :class:`.datetime` rather than :class:`time` and
:class:`datetime`; otherwise, the generated links will route to the
respective modules, not classes.
- Rewording the tzinfo class description
The top paragraph should get straight to the point of telling the reader
what subclasses of tzinfo _do_. Previously, that was hidden in a later
paragraph.
- Adding a note on .today() versus .now()
- Rearranging and expanding example blocks, including:
- Moved long, multiline inline examples to standalone examples
- Simplified the example block for timedelta arithmetic:
- Broke the example into two logical sections:
1. normalization/parameter 'merging'
2. timedelta arithmetic
- Reduced the complexity of the some of the examples. Show
reasonable, real-world uses cases that are easy to follow
along with and progres in difficult slightly.
- Broke up the example sections for date and datetime sections by putting
the easy examples first, progressing to more esoteric situations and
breaking it up into logical sections based on what the methods are
doing at a high level.
- Simplified the KabulTz example:
- Put the class definition itself into a non-REPL block since there is
no interactive output involved there
- Briefly explained what's happening before launching into the code
- Broke the example section into visually separate chunks
- Various whitespace, formatting, style and grammar fixes including:
- Consistently using backctics for 'date_string' formats
- Consistently using one space after periods.
- Consistently using bold for vocab terms
- Consistently using italics when referring to params:
See https://devguide.python.org/documenting/#id4
- Using '::' to lead into code blocks
Per https://devguide.python.org/documenting/#source-code, this will
let the reader use the 'expand/collapse' top-right button for REPL
blocks to hide or show the prompt.
- Using consistent captialization schemes
- Removing use of the default role
- Put 'example' blocks in Markdown subsections

The purpose of the `unicodedata.is_normalized` function is to answer
the question `str == unicodedata.normalized(form, str)` more
efficiently than writing just that, by using the "quick check"
optimization described in the Unicode standard in UAX #15.
However, it turns out the code doesn't implement the full algorithm
from the standard, and as a result we often miss the optimization and
end up having to compute the whole normalized string after all.
Implement the standard's algorithm. This greatly speeds up
`unicodedata.is_normalized` in many cases where our partial variant
of quick-check had been returning MAYBE and the standard algorithm
returns NO.
At a quick test on my desktop, the existing code takes about 4.4 ms/MB
(so 4.4 ns per byte) when the partial quick-check returns MAYBE and it
has to do the slow normalize-and-compare:
$ build.base/python -m timeit -s 'import unicodedata; s = "\uf900"*500000' \
-- 'unicodedata.is_normalized("NFD", s)'
50 loops, best of 5: 4.39 msec per loop
With this patch, it gets the answer instantly (58 ns) on the same 1 MB
string:
$ build.dev/python -m timeit -s 'import unicodedata; s = "\uf900"*500000' \
-- 'unicodedata.is_normalized("NFD", s)'
5000000 loops, best of 5: 58.2 nsec per loop
This restores a small optimization that the original version of this
code had for the `unicodedata.normalize` use case.
With this, that case is actually faster than in master!
$ build.base/python -m timeit -s 'import unicodedata; s = "\u0338"*500000' \
-- 'unicodedata.normalize("NFD", s)'
500 loops, best of 5: 561 usec per loop
$ build.dev/python -m timeit -s 'import unicodedata; s = "\u0338"*500000' \
-- 'unicodedata.normalize("NFD", s)'
500 loops, best of 5: 512 usec per loop
Adds a link to `dateutil.parser.isoparse` in the documentation.
It would be nice to set up intersphinx for things like this, but I think we can leave that for a separate PR.

- drop TargetScopeError in favour of raising SyntaxError directly
as per the updated PEP 572
- comprehension iteration variables are explicitly local, but
named expression targets in comprehensions are nonlocal or
global. Raise SyntaxError as specified in PEP 572
- named expression targets in the outermost iterable of a
comprehension have an ambiguous target scope. Avoid resolving
that question now by raising SyntaxError. PEP 572
originally required this only for cases where the bound name
conflicts with the iteration variable in the comprehension,
but CPython can't easily restrict the exception to that case
(as it doesn't know the target variable names when visiting
the outermost iterator expression)
"Arguments may be integers... " could be misunderstand as they also
could be strings.
New wording makes it clear that arguments have to be integers.

The activation scripts generated by venv were inconsistent in how they changed the shell's prompt. Some used `__VENV_PROMPT__` exclusively, some used `__VENV_PROMPT__` if it was set even though by default `__VENV_PROMPT__` is always set and the fallback matched the default, and one ignored `__VENV_PROMPT__` and used `__VENV_NAME__` instead (and even used a differing format to the default prompt). This change now has all activation scripts use `__VENV_PROMPT__` only and relies on the fact that venv sets that value by default.
The color of the customization is also now set in fish to the blue from the Python logo for as hex color support is built into that shell (much like PowerShell where the built-in green color is used).

| perl -lane 'print $F[3] if (!/^100644/)' \
| while read f; do
head -c2 "$f" | grep -qxF '#!' \
|| chmod a-x "$f"; \
done
Looking at the list by hand confirms that we didn't sweep up any
files that should have the executable bit after all. In particular
* The `.psd` files are images from Photoshop.
* The `.bat` files sure look like things that can be run.
But we have lots of other `.bat` files, and they don't have
this bit set, so it must not be needed for them.

The fact that keyword names are strings is now part of the vectorcall and `METH_FASTCALL` protocols. The biggest concrete change is that `_PyStack_UnpackDict` now checks that and raises `TypeError` if not.

The documented definition was much broader than the real one:
there are tons of characters with general category "Other",
and we don't (and shouldn't) treat most of them as whitespace.
Rewrite the definition to agree with the comment on
_PyUnicode_IsWhitespace, and with the logic in makeunicodedata.py,
which is what generates that function and so ultimately governs.
Add suitable breadcrumbs so that a reader who wants to pin down
exactly what this definition means (what's a "bidirectional class"
of "B"?) can do so. The `unicodedata` module documentation is an
appropriate central place for our references to Unicode's own copious
documentation, so point there.
Also add to the isspace() test a thorough check that the
implementation agrees with the intended definition.

DeprecationWarning will continue to be emitted for invalid escape

SyntaxWarning may be emitted in the future. But per mailing list

There was a discrepancy between the Python and C implementations.
Add singletons ALWAYS_EQ, LARGEST and SMALLEST in test.support
to test mixed type comparison.
Imports now raise `TypeError` instead of `ValueError` for relative import failures. This makes things consistent between `builtins.__import__` and `importlib.__import__` as well as using a more natural import for the failure.

Expose the CAN_BCM SocketCAN constants used in the bcm_msg_head struct
flags (provided by <linux/can/bcm.h>) under the socket library.
This adds the following constants with a CAN_BCM prefix:
* SETTIMER
* STARTTIMER
* TX_COUNTEVT
* TX_ANNOUNCE
* TX_CP_CAN_ID
* RX_FILTER_ID
* RX_CHECK_DLC
* RX_NO_AUTOTIMER
* RX_ANNOUNCE_RESUME
* TX_RESET_MULTI_IDX
* RX_RTR_FRAME
* CAN_FD_FRAME
The CAN_FD_FRAME flag was introduced in the 4.8 kernel, while the other
ones were present since SocketCAN drivers were mainlined in 2.6.25. As
such, it is probably unnecessary to guard against these constants being
missing.
Deprecate the parser module and add a deprecation warning triggered on import and a warning block in the documentation.

The `allow_abbrev` option for ArgumentParser is documented and intended to disable support for unique prefixes of --options, which may sometimes be ambiguous due to deferred parsing.
However, the initial implementation also broke parsing of grouped short flags, such as `-ab` meaning `-a -b` (or `-a=b`). Checking the argument for a leading `--` before rejecting it fixes this.
This was prompted by pytest-dev/pytest#5469, so a backport to at least 3.8 would be great 😄

Hi,
I've faced an issue w/ `mailbox.Maildir()`. The case is following:
1. I create a folder with `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory()`, so it's empty
2. I pass that folder path as an argument when instantiating `mailbox.Maildir()`
3. Then I receive an exception happening because "there's no such file or directory" (namely `cur`, `tmp` or `new`) during interaction with Maildir
**Expected result:** subdirs are created during `Maildir()` instance creation.
**Actual result:** subdirs are assumed as existing which leads to exceptions during use.
**Workaround:** remove the actual dir before passing the path to `Maildir()`. It will be created automatically with all subdirs needed.
**Fix:** This PR. Basically it adds creation of subdirs regardless of whether the base dir existed before.

This is done to compensate for the extra stack frames added by
IDLE itself, which cause problems when setting the recursion limit
to low values.
This wraps sys.setrecursionlimit() and sys.getrecursionlimit()
as invisibly as possible.
bdist_wininst depends on MBCS codec, unavailable on non-Windows,
and bdist_wininst have not worked since at least Python 3.2, possibly
never on Python 3.
Here we document that bdist_wininst is only supported on Windows,
and we mark it unsupported otherwise to skip tests.
Distributors of Python 3 can now safely drop the bdist_wininst .exe files
without the need to skip bdist_wininst related tests.
Remove the undocumented sys.callstats() function. Since Python 3.7,
it was deprecated and always returned None. It required a special
build option CALL_PROFILE which was already removed in Python 3.7.
The os.getcwdb() function now uses the UTF-8 encoding on Windows,
rather than the ANSI code page: see PEP 529 for the rationale. The
function is no longer deprecated on Windows.
os.getcwd() and os.getcwdb() now detect integer overflow on memory
allocations. On Unix, these functions properly report MemoryError on
memory allocation failure.
In development mode and in debug build, encoding and errors arguments
are now checked on string encoding and decoding operations. Examples:
open(), str.encode() and bytes.decode().
By default, for best performances, the errors argument is only
checked at the first encoding/decoding error, and the encoding
argument is sometimes ignored for empty strings.
Python now gets the absolute path of the script filename specified on
the command line (ex: "python3 script.py"): the __file__ attribute of
the __main__ module, sys.argv[0] and sys.path[0] become an absolute
path, rather than a relative path.
* Add _Py_isabs() and _Py_abspath() functions.
* _PyConfig_Read() now tries to get the absolute path of
run_filename, but keeps the relative path if _Py_abspath() fails.
* Reimplement os._getfullpathname() using _Py_abspath().
* Use _Py_isabs() in getpath.c.
Remove sys.getcheckinterval() and sys.setcheckinterval() functions.
They were deprecated since Python 3.2. Use sys.getswitchinterval()
and sys.setswitchinterval() instead.
Remove also check_interval field of the PyInterpreterState structure.
At the moment you can definitely use UDPLITE sockets on Linux systems, but it would be good if this support were formalized such that you can detect support at runtime easily.
At the moment, to make and use a UDPLITE socket requires something like the following code:
```
>>> import socket
>>> a = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 136)
>>> b = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 136)
>>> a.bind(('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.setsockopt(136, 10, 16)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.setsockopt(136, 10, 32)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.setsockopt(136, 10, 64)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
```
If you look at this through Wireshark, you can see that the packets are different in that the checksums and checksum coverages change.
With the pull request that I am submitting momentarily, you could do the following code instead:
```
>>> import socket
>>> a = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDPLITE)
>>> b = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDPLITE)
>>> a.bind(('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.set_send_checksum_coverage(16)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.set_send_checksum_coverage(32)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.set_send_checksum_coverage(64)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
```
One can also detect support for UDPLITE just by checking
```
>>> hasattr(socket, 'IPPROTO_UDPLITE')
```

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.

Move the example in the documentation to just use timezone.utc and a
user defined Kabul timezone rather than having two user defined
timezones with DST.
Kabul timezone is still interesting as it changes its offset but not
based on DST. This is more accurate as the previous example was missing
information about the fold attribute. Additionally, implementing the fold
attribute was rather complex and probably not relevant enough for the
section "datetime with tzinfo".

This is an old feature request that appears from time to time. After a year of experimenting with various introspection capabilities in `typing_inspect` on PyPI, I propose to add these two most commonly used functions: `get_origin()` and `get_args()`. These are essentially thin public wrappers around private APIs: `__origin__` and `__args__`.
As discussed in the issue and on the typing tracker, exposing some public helpers instead of `__origin__` and `__args__` directly will give us more flexibility if we will decide to update the internal representation, while still maintaining backwards compatibility.
The implementation is very simple an is essentially a copy from `typing_inspect` with one exception: `ClassVar` was special-cased in `typing_inspect`, but I think this special-casing doesn't really help and only makes things more complicated.
Bump the removal to 3.9, indicate collections.abc available since 3.3,
replace version-changed directive to deprecated-removed.

The underlying implementation behind all hex generation in CPython uses the

and memoryview objects.
The binascii module functions exist rather than being slated for deprecation
because they return bytes rather than requiring an intermediate step through a
str object.
This change was inspired by MicroPython which supports sep in its binascii
implementation (and does not yet support the .hex methods).

I tried to get rid of the `_ProtocolMeta`, but unfortunately it didn'y work. My idea to return a generic alias from `@runtime_checkable` made runtime protocols unpickleable. I am not sure what is worse (a custom metaclass or having some classes unpickleable), so I decided to stick with the status quo (since there were no complains so far). So essentially this is a copy of the implementation in `typing_extensions` with two modifications:
* Rename `@runtime` to `@runtime_checkable` (plus corresponding updates).
* Allow protocols that extend `collections.abc.Iterable` etc.
It has been documented as deprecated and to be removed in 3.8;

Add a new threading.excepthook() function which handles uncaught
Thread.run() exception. It can be overridden to control how uncaught
exceptions are handled.
threading.ExceptHookArgs is not documented on purpose: it should not
be used directly.
* threading.excepthook() and threading.ExceptHookArgs.
* Add _PyErr_Display(): similar to PyErr_Display(), but accept a
'file' parameter.
* Add _thread._excepthook(): C implementation of the exception hook
calling _PyErr_Display().
* Add _thread._ExceptHookArgs: structseq type.
* Add threading._invoke_excepthook_wrapper() which handles the gory
details to ensure that everything remains alive during Python
shutdown.
* Add unit tests.
* sys.unraisablehook: add 'err_msg' field to UnraisableHookArgs.
* Use _PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg() in _ctypes _DictRemover_call()
and gc delete_garbage().
The implementation is straightforward, it just mimics `ClassVar` (since the latter is also a name/access qualifier, not really a type). Also it is essentially copied from `typing_extensions`.
It is also possible to link against a library or executable with a
statically linked libpython, but not both with the same DLL. In fact
building a statically linked python is currently broken on Cygwin
for other (related) reasons.
The same problem applies to other POSIX-like layers over Windows
(MinGW, MSYS) but Python's build system does not seem to attempt
to support those platforms at the moment.
bpo-34626: Document creating heap types from the C-API
Add missing descriptions of PEP384's PyType_Spec and PyType_Slot,

In development (-X dev) mode and in a debug build, IOBase finalizer

support.catch_unraisable_exception() rather than capturing stderr.
To embed Python into an application, a new --embed option must be
passed to "python3-config --libs --embed" to get "-lpython3.8" (link
the application to libpython). To support both 3.8 and older, try
"python3-config --libs --embed" first and fallback to "python3-config
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails.
Add a pkg-config "python-3.8-embed" module to embed Python into an
application: "pkg-config python-3.8-embed --libs" includes
"-lpython3.8". To support both 3.8 and older, try "pkg-config
python-X.Y-embed --libs" first and fallback to "pkg-config python-X.Y
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails (replace
"X.Y" with the Python version).
On the other hand, "pkg-config python3.8 --libs" no longer contains
"-lpython3.8". C extensions must not be linked to libpython (except
on Android, case handled by the script); this change is backward
incompatible on purpose.
"make install" now also installs "python-3.8-embed.pc".
In order to support typing checks calling hex(), oct() and bin() on user-defined classes, a SupportIndex protocol is required. The ability to check these at runtime would be good to add for completeness sake. This is pretty much just a copy of SupportsInt with the names tweaked.
Add new sys.unraisablehook() function which can be overridden to
control how "unraisable exceptions" are handled. It is called when an
exception has occurred but there is no way for Python to handle it.
For example, when a destructor raises an exception or during garbage
collection (gc.collect()).
Changes:
* Add an internal UnraisableHookArgs type used to pass arguments to
sys.unraisablehook.
* Add _PyErr_WriteUnraisableDefaultHook().
* The default hook now ignores exception on writing the traceback.
* test_sys now uses unittest.main() to automatically discover tests:
remove test_main().

Similarly to how several pathlib file creation functions have an "exists_ok" parameter, we should introduce "missing_ok" that makes removal functions not raise an exception when a file or directory is already absent. IMHO, this should cover Path.unlink and Path.rmdir. Note, Path.resolve() has a "strict" parameter since 3.6 that does the same thing. Naming this of this new parameter tries to be consistent with the "exists_ok" parameter as that is more explicit about what it does (as opposed to "strict").

Plistlib currently throws an exception when asked to decode a valid

* bpo-36673: Implement comment/PI parsing support for the TreeBuilder in ElementTree.
* bpo-36673: Rewrite the comment/PI factory handling for the TreeBuilder in "_elementtree" to make it use the same factories as the ElementTree module, and to make it explicit when the comments/PIs are inserted into the tree and when they are not (which is the default).
PyEval_AcquireLock() and PyEval_AcquireThread() now
terminate the current thread if called while the interpreter is
finalizing, making them consistent with PyEval_RestoreThread(),
Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS, and PyGILState_Ensure().
On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython.
It is now possible to load a C extension built using a shared library
Python with a statically linked Python.
When Python is embedded, libpython must not be loaded with
RTLD_LOCAL, but RTLD_GLOBAL instead. Previously, using RTLD_LOCAL, it
was already not possible to load C extensions which were not linked
to libpython, like C extensions of the standard library built by the
"*shared*" section of Modules/Setup.
distutils, python-config and python-config.py have been modified.
Document that subprocess.Popen no longer raise an exception on error
like missing program on very specific platforms when using
os.posix_spawn() is used.
Release build and debug build are now ABI compatible: the Py_DEBUG
define no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS define which introduces the
only ABI incompatibility.
A new "./configure --with-trace-refs" build option is now required to
get Py_TRACE_REFS define which adds sys.getobjects() function and
PYTHONDUMPREFS environment variable.
Changes:
* Add ./configure --with-trace-refs
* Py_DEBUG no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS
# [bpo-36651](https://bugs.python.org/issue36651): Fixed Asyncio Event Loop documentation inconsistency
In the documentation for the call_later and the call_at methods there is a note which says that the delay cannot be longer than a day, but both methods have a note saying that this limitation was removed in Python 3.8
Here I fixed this issue by removing the pre-exising note and added a versionchanged.
To test my changes I have rebuilt the documentation with ```make html```. I did not have any errors and the effected page displayed correctly on a browser.
https://bugs.python.org/issue36651
The imap.IMAP4.logout() method no longer ignores silently arbitrary
exceptions.
Changes:
* The IMAP4.logout() method now expects a "BYE" untagged response,
rather than relying on _check_bye() which raises a self.abort()
exception.
* IMAP4.__exit__() now does nothing if the client already logged out.
* Add more debug info if test_logout() tests fail.
Add new keyword arguments "default_namespace" and "xml_declaration" to functions ET.tostring() and ET.tostringlist(), as known from ElementTree.write().
Calling these function from a thread when the runtime is finalizing will terminate
the thread, even if the thread was not created by Python. Users can use
_Py_IsFinalizing or sys.is_finalizing to check if the interpreter is in the process of
being finalized before calling this function to avoid unwanted termination.
For BufferedReader and BufferedWriter, seek and tell operations are
optional (they may or may not exist based on the underlying stream). For
BufferedRandom, they are mandatory: a BufferedRandom should not be
constructed over an unseekable underlying stream. Document this.
In development mode (-X dev) and in debug build, the io.IOBase
destructor now logs close() exceptions. These exceptions are silent
by default in release mode.
On AIX, sys.platform doesn't contain the major version anymore.
Always return 'aix', instead of 'aix3' .. 'aix7'. Since
older Python versions include the version number, it is recommended to
always use sys.platform.startswith('aix').
Modify CLEANBYTE, DEADDYTE and FORBIDDENBYTE constants: use 0xCD,
0xDD and 0xFD, rather than 0xCB, 0xBB and 0xFB, to use the same byte
patterns than Windows CRT debug malloc() and free().
Move all documentation regarding the readinto method into either io.RawIOBase or io.BufferedIOBase.
Corresponding changes to documentation in the _pyio.py module.
It turns out doing socket.listen(0) does not equal to "choose a
reasonable default". It actually means "set backlog to 0".
As such set backlog=None as the default for socket.create_server.
Fixes the following BB failures:

I have added documentation for `PyInterpreterState_Main()`.
I chose to place it under Advanced Debugger Support together with similar functions like `PyInterpreterState_Head()`, `PyInterpreterState_Next(`), and `PyInterpreterState_ThreadHead()` .

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.)
https://bugs.python.org/issue35975
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

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.
