In the configparser module, these have been deprecated since Python 3.2:
* the SafeConfigParser class,
* the filename property of the ParsingError class,
* the readfp method of the ConfigParser class,
* Constructors of subclasses of some buitin classes (e.g. tuple, list,
frozenset) no longer accept arbitrary keyword arguments.
* Subclass of set can now define a __new__() method with additional
keyword parameters without overriding also __init__().
* Calling guess_all_extensions() with strict=False potentially
mutated types_map_inv.
* Mutating the result of guess_all_extensions() mutated types_map_inv.
Due to significant security concerns, the reuse_address parameter of
asyncio.loop.create_datagram_endpoint, deprecated in Python 3.9, is
now removed. This is because of the behavior of the socket option
SO_REUSEADDR in UDP.

Remove deprecated __getitem__ methods of xml.dom.pulldom.DOMEventStream,
wsgiref.util.FileWrapper and fileinput.FileInput, deprecated since Python 3.9.
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.
The binhex module, deprecated in Python 3.9, is now removed. The
following binascii functions, deprecated in Python 3.9, are now also
removed:
* a2b_hqx(), b2a_hqx();
* rlecode_hqx(), rledecode_hqx().
The binascii.crc_hqx() function remains available.
libregrtest now clears the type cache later to reduce the risk of
false alarm when checking for reference leaks. Previously, the type
cache was cleared too early and libregrtest raised a false alarm
about reference leaks under very specific conditions.
Move also support.gc_collect() outside clear/cleanup functions to
make the garbage collection more explicit.

PyPy and potentially other implementations have different or no
contraints on the number of blocks that can be statically nested. move
the test that checks for this behaviour into a unit test and mark it as
CPython-only.
Various date parsing utilities in the email module, such as
email.utils.parsedate(), are supposed to gracefully handle invalid
input, typically by raising an appropriate exception or by returning
None.
The internal email._parseaddr._parsedate_tz() helper used by some of
these date parsing routines tries to be robust against malformed input,
but unfortunately it can still crash ungracefully when a non-empty but
whitespace-only input is passed. This manifests as an unexpected
IndexError.
In practice, this can happen when parsing an email with only a newline
inside a ‘Date:’ header, which unfortunately happens occasionally in the
real world.
Here's a minimal example:
$ python
Python 3.9.6 (default, Jun 30 2021, 10:22:16)
[GCC 11.1.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import email.utils
>>> email.utils.parsedate('foo')
>>> email.utils.parsedate(' ')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/email/_parseaddr.py", line 176, in parsedate
t = parsedate_tz(data)

res = _parsedate_tz(data)
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/email/_parseaddr.py", line 72, in _parsedate_tz
if data[0].endswith(',') or data[0].lower() in _daynames:
IndexError: list index out of range
The fix is rather straight-forward: guard against empty lists, after
splitting on whitespace, but before accessing the first element.
