importlib.abc.FileLoader.load_module()/get_filename() and
importlib.machinery.ExtensionFileLoader.load_module() have their
single argument be optional as the loader's constructor has all the
ncessary information.
This allows for the deprecation of
imp.load_source()/load_compile()/load_package().
importlib.machinery that provide the suffix details for import.
The attributes were not put on imp so as to compartmentalize
everything importlib needs for setting up imports in
importlib.machinery.
This also led to an indirect deprecation of inspect.getmoduleinfo() as
it directly returned imp.get_suffix's returned tuple which no longer
makes sense.
In Python 3.2 and earlier, Process.join() and Connection.poll()
treated negative timeouts as zero timeouts. Earlier versions from
the 3.3 line of development treat them as infinite timeouts.
The patch reverts to the old behaviour.
Removed futimens as it is now redundant.
Changed shutil.copystat to use st_atime_ns and st_mtime_ns from os.stat
and ns= parameter to utime--it once again preserves exact metadata on Linux!
* Replace "time.clock on windows, or time.time" with time.perf_counter()
* profile module: only use time.process_time() instead of trying different
functions providing the process time
* timeit module: use time.perf_counter() by default, time.time() and
time.clock() can still be used using --time and --clock options
* pybench program: use time.perf_counter() by default, add support for
the new time.process_time() and time.perf_counter() functions, but stay
backward compatible. Use also time.get_clock_info() to display information
of the timer.
* Rename time.steady() to time.monotonic()
* On Windows, time.monotonic() uses GetTickCount/GetTickCount64() instead of
QueryPerformanceCounter()
* time.monotonic() uses CLOCK_HIGHRES if available
* Add time.get_clock_info(), time.perf_counter() and time.process_time()
functions
importlib.util.module_for_loader also will set __loader__ along with
__package__. This is in conjunction to a forthcoming update to PEP 302
which will make these two attributes required for loaders to set.
