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.
When building Python in some uncommon platforms there are some known tests that will fail. Right now, the test suite has the ability to ignore entire tests using the -x option and to receive a filter file using the --matchfile filter. The problem with the --matchfile option is that it receives a file with patterns to accept and when you want to ignore a couple of tests and subtests, is too cumbersome to lists ALL tests that are not the ones that you want to accept and he problem with -x is that is not easy to ignore just a subtests that fail and the whole test needs to be ignored.
For these reasons, add a new option to allow to ignore a list of test and subtests for these situations.
Capturing exceptions into names can lead to reference cycles though the __traceback__ attribute of the exceptions in some obscure cases that have been reported previously and fixed individually. As these variables are not used anyway, we can remove the binding to reduce the chances of creating reference cycles.
See for example GH-13135
This PR implements a fix for `multiprocessing.Process` objects; the error occurs when Processes are created using either `fork` or `forkserver` as the `start_method`.
In these instances, the `MainThread` of the newly created `Process` object retains all attributes from its parent's `MainThread` object, including the `native_id` attribute. The resulting behavior is such that the new process' `MainThread` captures an incorrect/outdated `native_id` (the parent's instead of its own).
This change forces the Process object to update its `native_id` attribute during the bootstrap process.

Ignore `GeneratorExit` exceptions when throwing an exception into the `aclose` coroutine of an asynchronous generator.

Ensure isabs() is always True for \\?\ prefixed paths
Avoid unnecessary usage of readlink() to avoid resolving broken links incorrectly
Ensure shutil tests run in test directory
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.

After #9665, this moves the remaining types in posixmodule to be heap-allocated to make it compatible with PEP384 as well as modifying all the type accessors to fully make the type opaque.
The original PR that got messed up a rebase: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/10854. All the issues in that commit have now been addressed since https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/11661 got committed.
This change also removes any state from the data segment and onto the module state itself.

Added most of the mechanism to change the strips from color variations
to color constants (i.e. red constant, green constant, blue
constant). But I haven't hooked this up yet because the UI gets more
crowded and the arrows don't reflect the correct values.
Added "Go to Black" and "Go to White" buttons.

StripWidget.__init__(), update_yourself(): Removed some unused local
variables reported by PyChecker.
__togglegentype(): PyChecker accurately reported that the variable
__gentypevar was unused -- actually this whole method is currently
unused so comment it out.
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.
This adds a "readlink" method to pathlib.Path objects that calls through
to os.readlink.

This is partly a cleanup of the code. It also is preparation for getting the variables from the source (cross-platform) rather than from the symbols.
The change only touches the tool (and its tests).
test.regrtest now uses process groups in the multiprocessing mode
(-jN command line option) if process groups are available: if
os.setsid() and os.killpg() functions are available.
* bpo-27657: Fix urlparse() with numeric paths
Revert parsing decision from bpo-754016 in favor of the documented
consensus in bpo-16932 of how to treat strings without a // to
designate the netloc.
* bpo-22891: Remove urlsplit() optimization for 'http' prefixed inputs.
Also updates the documentation to clarify the situation surrounding
the digestmod parameter that is required despite its position in the
argument list as of 3.8.0 as well as removing old python2 era
references to "binary strings".
We indavertently had this raise ValueError in 3.8.0 for the missing
arg. This is not considered an API change as no reasonable code would
be catching this missing argument error in order to handle it.
