`_datetime` is a special module, because it's the only non-builtin C extension that contains static types. As such, it would initialize static types in the module's execution function, which can run concurrently. Since static type initialization is not thread-safe, this caused crashes. This fixes it by moving the initialization of `_datetime`'s static types to interpreter startup (where all other static types are initialized), which is already properly protected through other locks.
Make the setlogmask() function in the syslog module thread-safe. These changes are relevant for scenarios where the GIL is disabled or when using subinterpreters.
Fix the `test_generated_cases` to work with `-O` or `-OO` flags.
Previously, `test_generated_cases` was catching an `AssertionError` while `Tools/cases_generator/optimizer_generator.py` used an `assert` statement. This approach semantically incorrect, no one should trying to catch an `AssertionError`!
Now the `assert` statement has been replaced with an explicit `raise ValueError(...)` and the corresponding `self.assertRaisesRegex(AssertionError, ...)` has been updated to catch a `ValueError` instead.
UUIDv8 has been added in Python 3.14.0a2 and its construction time
has been improved in Python 3.14.0a4, but since those changes will
not be visible when comparing the latest Python 3.13 and 3.14 together,
we do not document them on the What's New page to avoid confusion.

gh-91349: Adjust default compression level to 6 (down from 9) in gzip and tarfile
It is the default level used by most compression tools and a
better tradeoff between speed and performance.

Some internal helper functions taking the module object to retrieve its state
under some conditions now directly take the module's state instead as those
conditions hold most of the time.
- Fix `hashlib_helper.block_algorithm` where the dummy functions were incorrectly defined.
- Rename `hashlib_helper.HashAPI` to `hashlib_helper.HashInfo` and add more helper methods.
- Simplify `hashlib_helper.requires_*()` functions.
- Rewrite some private helpers in `hashlib_helper`.
- Remove `find_{builtin,openssl}_hashdigest_constructor()` as they are no more needed and were
not meant to be public in the first place.
- Fix some tests in `test_hashlib` when FIPS mode is on.
This is useful for implementing proper `input()`. It requires the
JavaScript engine to support the wasm JSPI spec which is now stage 4.
It is supported on Chrome since version 137 and on Firefox and node
behind a flag.
We override the `__wasi_fd_read()` syscall with our own variant that
checks for a readAsync operation. If it has it, we use our own async
variant of `fd_read()`, otherwise we use the original `fd_read()`.
We also add a variant of `FS.createDevice()` called
`FS.createAsyncInputDevice()`.
Finally, if JSPI is available, we wrap the `main()` symbol with
`WebAssembly.promising()` so that we can stack switch from `fd_read()`.
If JSPI is not available, attempting to read from an AsyncInputDevice
will raise an `OSError`.

* Doc/c-api/memory.rst: extend --without-pymalloc doc with ASan information
This commit extends the documentation for disabling pymalloc with the `--without-pymalloc` flag regarding why it is worth to use it when enabling AddressSanitizer for Python build (which is done, e.g., in CPython's CI builds).
I have tested the CPython latest main build with both ASan and pymalloc enabled and it seems to work just fine. I did run the `python -m test` suite which didn't uncover any ASan crashes (though, it detected some memory leaks, which I believe are irrelevant here).
I have discussed ASan and this flag with @encukou on the CPython Core sprint on EuroPython 2025. We initially thought that the `--without-pymalloc` flag is needed for ASan builds due to the fact pymalloc must hit the begining of page when determining if the memory to be freed comes from pymalloc or was allocated by the system malloc. In other words, we thought, that ASan would crash CPython during free of big objects (allocated by system malloc). It may be that this was the case in the past, but it is not the case anymore as the `address_in_range` function used by pymalloc is annotated to be skipped from the ASan instrumentation.
This code can be seen here:
acefb978dc/Objects/obmalloc.c (L2096-L2110)
While the annotation macro is defined here:
acefb978dc/Include/pyport.h (L582-L598)
And the corresponding attribute is documented in:
* for gcc: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Function-Attributes.html#index-no_005fsanitize_005faddress-function-attribute
* for clang: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#no-sanitize-address-no-address-safety-analysis
* Update Doc/c-api/memory.rst
* Improve --with-address-sanitizer and pymalloc docs

Fixed-sized types, like ``c_int32``, are currently missing from the fundamental data types table
in the ``ctypes`` documentation. This commit adds them, and notes that ``c_[u]int8`` is an alias
of ``c_[u]byte``.
The current example `batched('ABCDEFG', n=3) → ABC DEF G` can confuse readers because both, the size of the tuples and the number of tuples are 3.
By using a batch size of n=2, it is clearer that the `n` argument refers to the size of the resulting tuples.
I.e. the new example is: `batched('ABCDEFG', n=2) → AB CD EF G`
