* The AST optimiser wasn't descending into named expressions, so
any constant subexpressions weren't being folded at compile time
* Remove "default:" clauses inside the AST optimiser code to reduce the
risk of similar bugs passing unnoticed in future compiler changes
The PyConfig_Read() function now only parses PyConfig.argv arguments
once: PyConfig.parse_argv is set to 2 after arguments are parsed.
Since Python arguments are strippped from PyConfig.argv, parsing
arguments twice would parse the application options as Python
options.
* Rework the PyConfig documentation.
* Fix _testinternalcapi.set_config() error handling.
* SetConfigTests no longer needs parse_argv=0 when restoring the old
configuration.
* Inline _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig(): replace it with
_PyConfig_Copy().
* Add _PyErr_SetFromPyStatus()
* Add _PyInterpreterState_GetConfigCopy()
* Add a new _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig() function.
* Add an unit which gets, modifies, and sets the config.
When Py_Initialize() is called twice, the second call now updates
more sys attributes for the configuration, rather than only sys.argv.
* Rename _PySys_InitMain() to _PySys_UpdateConfig().
* _PySys_UpdateConfig() now modifies sys.flags in-place, instead of
creating a new flags object.
* Remove old commented sys.flags flags (unbuffered and skip_first).
* Add private _PySys_GetObject() function.
* When Py_Initialize(), Py_InitializeFromConfig() and
Replace PyModule_AddObject() with PyModule_AddObjectRef() in the
_warnings module to fix a reference leak on error.
Use also PyModule_AddObjectRef() in importdl.c.
Call _PyAST_Fini() on all interpreters, not only on the main
interpreter. Also, call it ealier to fix a reference leak.
Python types contain a reference to themselves in in their
PyTypeObject.tp_mro member. _PyAST_Fini() must called before the last
GC collection to destroy AST types.
_PyInterpreterState_Clear() now calls _PyAST_Fini(). It now also
calls _PyWarnings_Fini() on subinterpeters, not only on the main
interpreter.
Add an assertion in AST init_types() to ensure that the _ast module
is no longer used after _PyAST_Fini() has been called.
The logging.FileHandler class now keeps a reference to the builtin
open() function to be able to open or reopen the file during Python
finalization.
Fix errors like:
Exception ignored in: (...)
Traceback (most recent call last):
(...)

The ast module internal state is now per interpreter.
* Rename "astmodulestate" to "struct ast_state"
* Add pycore_ast.h internal header: the ast_state structure is now
declared in pycore_ast.h.
* Add PyInterpreterState.ast (struct ast_state)
* Remove get_ast_state()
* Rename get_global_ast_state() to get_ast_state()
* PyAST_obj2mod() now handles get_ast_state() failures
Enhance the documentation of the Python startup, filesystem encoding
and error handling, locale encoding. Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode"
section.
* Add "locale encoding" and "filesystem encoding and error handler"
to the glossary
* Remove documentation from Include/cpython/initconfig.h: move it to
Doc/c-api/init_config.rst.
* Doc/c-api/init_config.rst:
* Document command line options and environment variables
* Document default values.
* Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode" section in Doc/library/os.rst.
* Add warnings to Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() docs.
* Document how Python selects the filesystem encoding and error
handler at a single place: PyConfig.filesystem_encoding and
PyConfig.filesystem_errors.
* PyConfig: move orig_argv member at the right place.
This adds a new function named sys._current_exceptions() which is equivalent ot
sys._current_frames() except that it returns the exceptions currently handled
by other threads. It is equivalent to calling sys.exc_info() for each running
thread.
If the nl_langinfo(CODESET) function returns an empty string, Python
now uses UTF-8 as the filesystem encoding.
In May 2010 (commit b744ba1d14), I
modified Python to log a warning and use UTF-8 as the filesystem
encoding (instead of None) if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty
string.
In August 2020 (commit 94908bbc15), I
modified Python startup to fail with a fatal error and a specific
error message if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty string. The
intent was to prevent guessing the encoding and also investigate user
configuration where this case happens.
In 10 years (2010 to 2020), I saw zero user report about the error
message related to nl_langinfo(CODESET) returning an empty string.
Today, UTF-8 became the defacto standard and it's safe to make the
assumption that the user expects UTF-8. For example,
nl_langinfo(CODESET) can return an empty string on macOS if the
LC_CTYPE locale is not supported, and UTF-8 is the default encoding
on macOS.
While this change is likely to not affect anyone in practice, it
should make UTF-8 lover happy ;-)
Rewrite also the documentation explaining how Python selects the
filesystem encoding and error handler.
* Rename _Py_GetLocaleEncoding() to _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject()
* Add _Py_GetLocaleEncoding() which returns a wchar_t* string to
share code between _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject()
and config_get_locale_encoding().
* _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject() now decodes nl_langinfo(CODESET)
from the current locale encoding with surrogateescape,
rather than using UTF-8.
_io.TextIOWrapper no longer calls getpreferredencoding(False) of
_bootlocale to get the locale encoding, but calls
_Py_GetLocaleEncoding() instead.
Add config_get_fs_encoding() sub-function. Reorganize also
config_get_locale_encoding() code.
The last GC collection is now done before clearing builtins and sys
dictionaries. Add also assertions to ensure that gc.collect() is no
longer called after _PyGC_Fini().
Pass also the tstate to PyInterpreterState_Clear() to pass the
correct tstate to _PyGC_CollectNoFail() and _PyGC_Fini().
Move private _PyGC_CollectNoFail() to the internal C API.
Remove the private _PyGC_CollectIfEnabled() which was just an alias
to the public PyGC_Collect() function since Python 3.8.
Rename functions:
* collect() => gc_collect_main()
* collect_with_callback() => gc_collect_with_callback()
* collect_generations() => gc_collect_generations()
* UCD_Check() uses PyModule_Check()
* Simplify the internal _PyUnicode_Name_CAPI structure:
* Remove size and state members
* Remove state and self parameters of getcode() and getname()
functions
* Remove global_module_state
The private _PyUnicode_Name_CAPI structure of the PyCapsule API
unicodedata.ucnhash_CAPI moves to the internal C API. Moreover, the
structure gets a new state member which must be passed to the
getcode() and getname() functions.
* Move Include/ucnhash.h to Include/internal/pycore_ucnhash.h
* unicodedata module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE.
* unicodedata: move hashAPI variable into unicodedata_module_state.
If PyDict_GetItemWithError is only used to check whether the key is in dict,
it is better to use PyDict_Contains instead.
And if it is used in combination with PyDict_SetItem, PyDict_SetDefault can
replace the combination.
These functions are considered not safe because they suppress all internal errors
and can return wrong result. PyDict_GetItemString and _PyDict_GetItemId can
also silence current exception in rare cases.
Remove no longer used _PyDict_GetItemId.
Add _PyDict_ContainsId and rename _PyDict_Contains into
_PyDict_Contains_KnownHash.
Since c19c5a6, AIX builds have defaulted to using dynload_shlib over
dynload_aix when dlopen is available. This function has been available
since AIX 4.3, which went out of support in 2003, the same year the
previously referenced commit was made. It has been nearly 20 years
since a version of AIX has been supported which has not used
dynload_shlib so there's no reason to keep this legacy code around.
When running in a non-UTF-8 locale, if an error occurs while importing a
native Python module (say because a dependent share library is missing),
the error message string returned may contain non-ASCII code points
causing a UnicodeDecodeError.
PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault is used for buffers which may contain
filesystem paths. For consistency with os.strerror(),
PyUnicode_DecodeLocale is used for buffers which contain system error
messages. While the shortname parameter is always encoded in ASCII
according to PEP 489, it is left decoded using PyUnicode_FromString to
minimize the changes and since it should not affect the decoding (albeit
_potentially_ slower).
In dynload_hpux, since the error buffer contains a message generated
from a static ASCII string and the module filesystem path,
PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault is used instead of PyUnicode_DecodeLocale as
is used elsewhere.
* bpo-41894: Fix bugs in dynload error msg handling
For both dynload_aix and dynload_hpux, properly handle the possibility
that decoding strings may return NULL and when such an error happens,
properly decrement any previously decoded strings and return early.
In addition, in dynload_aix, ensure that we pass the decoded string
*object* pathname_ob to PyErr_SetImportError instead of the original
pathname buffer.

All references to this dynamic loading method were removed in b9949db,
when support for this method was dropped, but the implementation code
was not dropped (seemingly in oversight).
This API is relatively lightweight and organizationally, given that it's
used by multiple modules, it makes sense to move it to fileutils.
Requires making sure that _posixsubprocess is compiled with the appropriate
Py_BUIILD_CORE_BUILTIN macro.
* PyMapping_HasKey() is not safe because it silences all exceptions and can return incorrect result.
* Informative exceptions from PyMapping_DelItem() are overridden with RuntimeError and
the original exception raised before calling remove_module() is lost.
* There is a race condition between PyMapping_HasKey() and PyMapping_DelItem().
- Use the proper asdl sequence when creating empty arguments
- Remove reduntant casts (thanks to new typed asdl_sequences)
- Remove MarshalPrototypeVisitor and some utilities from asdl generator
- Fix the header of `Python/ast.c` (kept from pgen times)

The hard part was making all the tests pass; there are some subtle issues here, because apparently the future import wasn't tested very thoroughly in previous Python versions.
For example, `inspect.signature()` returned type objects normally (except for forward references), but strings with the future import. We changed it to try and return type objects by calling `typing.get_type_hints()`, but fall back on returning strings if that function fails (which it may do if there are future references in the annotations that require passing in a specific namespace to resolve).
Remove the global _Py_CheckRecursionLimit variable: it has been
replaced by ceval.recursion_limit of the PyInterpreterState
structure.
There is no need to keep the variable for the stable ABI, since
Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() were not usable
in Python 3.8 and older: these macros accessed PyThreadState members,
whereas the PyThreadState structure is opaque in the limited C API.
