open(), io.open(), codecs.open() and fileinput.FileInput no longer
accept "U" ("universal newline") in the file mode. This flag was
deprecated since Python 3.3.
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.
Document reference cycle and resurrected objects issues in
sys.unraisablehook() and threading.excepthook() documentation.
Fix test.support.catch_unraisable_exception(): __exit__() no longer
ignores unraisable exceptions.
Fix test_io test_writer_close_error_on_close(): use a second
catch_unraisable_exception() to catch the BufferedWriter unraisable
exception.
Use catch_unraisable_exception() to ignore 'Exception ignored in:'
error when the internal BufferedWriter of the BufferedRWPair is
destroyed. The C implementation doesn't give access to the
internal BufferedWriter, so just ignore the warning instead.
In development (-X dev) mode and in a debug build, IOBase finalizer
of the _pyio module now logs the exception if the close() method
fails. The exception is ignored silently by default in release build.
test_io: test_error_through_destructor() now uses
support.catch_unraisable_exception() rather than capturing stderr.
* bpo-36929: Modify io/re tests to allow for missing mod name
For a vanishingly small number of internal types, CPython sets the
tp_name slot to mod_name.type_name, either in the PyTypeObject or the
PyType_Spec. There are a few minor places where this surfaces:
* Custom repr functions for those types (some of which ignore the
tp_name in favor of using a string literal, such as _io.TextIOWrapper)
* Pickling error messages
The test suite only tests the former. This commit modifies the test
suite to allow Python implementations to omit the module prefix.

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.
Fix a race condition in check_interrupted_write() of test_io:
create directly the thread with SIGALRM signal blocked,
rather than blocking the signal later from the thread. Previously, it
was possible that the thread gets the signal before the signal is
blocked.
This implements getstate and setstate for the cjkcodecs multibyte incremental encoders/decoders, primarily to fix issues with seek/tell.
The encoder getstate/setstate is slightly tricky as the "state" is pending bytes + MultibyteCodec_State but only an integer can be returned. The approach I've taken is to encode this data into a long, similar to how .tell() encodes a "cookie_type" as a long.

If buffering=1 is specified for open() in binary mode, it is silently
treated as buffering=-1 (i.e., the default buffer size).
Coupled with the fact that line buffering is always supported in Python 2,
such behavior caused several issues (e.g., bpo-10344, bpo-21332).
Warn that line buffering is not supported if open() is called with
binary mode and buffering=1.
* Add support.MS_WINDOWS: True if Python is running on Microsoft Windows.
* Add support.MACOS: True if Python is running on Apple macOS.
* Replace support.is_android with support.ANDROID
* Replace support.is_jython with support.JYTHON
* Cleanup code to initialize unix_shell
* Fix multiple typos in code comments
* Add spacing in comments (test_logging.py, test_math.py)
* Fix spaces at the beginning of comments in test_logging.py
* Add -X utf8 command line option, PYTHONUTF8 environment variable
and a new sys.flags.utf8_mode flag.
* If the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" at startup: enable automatically the
UTF-8 mode.
* Add _winapi.GetACP(). encodings._alias_mbcs() now calls
_winapi.GetACP() to get the ANSI code page
* locale.getpreferredencoding() now returns 'UTF-8' in the UTF-8
mode. As a side effect, open() now uses the UTF-8 encoding by
default in this mode.
* Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding
in the UTF-8 Mode.
* Update subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle -X utf8
* Skip some tests relying on the current locale if the UTF-8 mode is
enabled.
* Add test_utf8mode.py.
* _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape() gets a new optional parameter to
return also the length (number of wide characters).
* pymain_get_global_config() and pymain_set_global_config() now
always copy flag values, rather than only copying if the new value
is greater than the old value.
kB (*kilo* byte) unit means 1000 bytes, whereas KiB ("kibibyte")
means 1024 bytes. KB was misused: replace kB or KB with KiB when
appropriate.
Same change for MB and GB which become MiB and GiB.
Change the output of Tools/iobench/iobench.py.
Round also the size of the documentation from 5.5 MB to 5 MiB.
* bpo-31479: Always reset the signal alarm in tests
Use "try: ... finally: signal.signal(0)" pattern to make sure that
tests don't "leak" a pending fatal signal alarm.
* Move two more alarm() calls into the try block
Fix also typo: replace signal.signal(0) with signal.alarm(0)
* Move another signal.alarm() into the try block
test_io has two unit tests which trigger a deadlock:
* test_daemon_threads_shutdown_stdout_deadlock()
* test_daemon_threads_shutdown_stderr_deadlock()
These tests call Py_FatalError() if the expected bug is triggered
which calls abort(). Use test.support.SuppressCrashReport to prevent
the creation on a core dump, to fix the warning:
Warning -- files was modified by test_io
Before: []
After: ['python.core']
