It's a ParseTuple converter: decode bytes objects to unicode using
PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize(); str objects are output as-is.

 * Don't specify surrogateescape error handler in the comments nor the
   documentation, but PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize() and
   PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() because these functions use strict error handler
   for the mbcs encoding (on Windows).
 * Remove PyUnicode_FSConverter() comment in unicodeobject.c to avoid
   inconsistency with unicodeobject.h.

 * Use _Py_wchar2char() in _wstat() and _Py_wfopen()
 * Document _Py_char2wchar()

at interpreter startup before importing any non-builtin modules.
Should fix #9589.

compilers (which are detected by the configure script).  They can still
be disable selectively by specifying --without-computed-gotos.

Also add myself as assignable for email issues.

Omit the filename to avoid enconding issues, especially with non encodable
characters in the Python full path.

Similar to PyErr_WarnEx() but use PyUnicode_FromFormatV() to format the warning
message.

Strip also some trailing spaces.

test_imp fails on Linux with C locale because TESTFN_UNICODE is not encodable
to ascii.

This function is only by imp.find_module() which does return the filename in a
separated variable.

 * On non-Windows OSes: the constructor accepts bytes filenames
   and use surrogateescape for unicode filenames
 * On Windows: use GetFileAttributesW() instead of GetFileAttributesA()

 * Use 0xff byte on non-Windows OSes
 * mbcs is now really strict by default: i closed the issue #850997, so use the
   filesystem encoding and not Latin-1
 * Rename TESTFN_UNICODE_UNENCODEABLE to TESTFN_UNENCODEABLE

BadZipfile error is raised if it doesn't match (as used to be the
case in Python 2.5 and earlier).

original read request had been satisfied, which can block indefinitely

have to watch them when they become fit again.

Interpreter Lock around all system calls.  Original patch by Ryan Kelly.

Thread-local objects involved in reference cycles will be deallocated
timely by the cyclic GC, even if the underlying thread is still running.
