I noticed that there is no test for this feature while doing
triaging work on pypa/pypi-legacy.

Issue #20120: Use RawConfigParser for .pypirc parsing, removing support for interpolation unintentionally added with move to Python 3. Behavior no longer does any interpolation in .pypirc files, matching behavior in Python 2.7 and Setuptools 19.0.

It was renamed to 'license' in 178d19cff163.

Patch by Augustin Laville.

As of Xcode 7, SDKs for Apple platforms now include textual-format stub
libraries whose file names have a .tbd extension rather than the
standard OS X .dylib extension.  The Apple compiler tool chain handles
these stub libraries transparently and the installed system shared libraries
are still .dylibs.  However, the new stub libraries cause problems for
third-party programs that support building with Apple SDKs and make
build-time decisions based on the presence or paths of system-supplied
shared libraries in the SDK.  In particular, building Python itself with
an SDK fails to find system-supplied libraries during setup.py's build of
standard library extension modules.  The solution is to have
find_library_file() in Distutils search for .tbd files, along with
the existing types (.a, .so, and .dylib).  Patch by Tim Smith.

Issue #26100:

* Add subprocess._optim_args_from_interpreter_flags()
* Add test.support.optim_args_from_interpreter_flags()
* Use new functions in distutils, test_cmd_line_script, test_compileall and
  test_inspect

The change enables test_details() test of test_inspect when -O or -OO command
line option is used.

This changes the main documentation, doc strings, source code comments, and a
couple error messages in the test suite. In some cases the word was removed
or edited some other way to fix the grammar.
