  * module_search_path_env => pythonpath_env

* Rename PyStatus field: _func => func
* PyInterpreterState: rename core_config field to config
* Rename macros and functions:

  * _PyCoreConfig_SetArgv() => PyConfig_SetBytesArgv()
  * _PyCoreConfig_SetWideArgv() => PyConfig_SetArgv()
  * _PyCoreConfig_DecodeLocale() => PyConfig_SetBytesString()
  * _PyInitError_Failed() => PyStatus_Exception()
  * _Py_INIT_ERROR_TYPE_xxx enums => _PyStatus_TYPE_xxx
  * _Py_UnixMain() => Py_BytesMain()
  * _Py_ExitInitError() => Py_ExitStatusException()

  * _Py_RunMain() => Py_RunMain()
  * _Py_InitializeFromConfig() => Py_InitializeFromConfig()
  * _Py_INIT_XXX() => _PyStatus_XXX()
  * _Py_INIT_FAILED() => _PyStatus_EXCEPTION()

* Rename 'err' PyStatus variables to 'status'
* Convert RUN_CODE() macro to config_run_code() static inline function
* Remove functions:

  * _Py_InitializeFromArgs()

Return a safe to use proxy socket object from `transport.get_extra_info('socket')`

Handle late binding and attribute access in unittest.mock.AsyncMock
setup for autospeccing.

This will address the common mistake many asyncio users make:
an "except Exception" clause breaking Tasks cancellation.

In addition to this change, we stop inheriting asyncio.TimeoutError
and asyncio.InvalidStateError from their concurrent.futures.*
counterparts.  There's no point for these exceptions to share the
inheritance chain.

In 3.9 we'll focus on implementing supervisors and cancel scopes,
which should allow better handling of all exceptions, including
SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt

This makes it easy to play with asyncio APIs with simply
using async/await in the REPL.

* sys.unraisablehook: add 'err_msg' field to UnraisableHookArgs.
* Use _PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg() in _ctypes _DictRemover_call()
  and gc delete_garbage().

Constant.kind is added in https://bugs.python.org/issue36280.
Current possible values for Constant.kind are "u" or None.

For r'bar' and b'bar', Constant.kind value is None, so there's no need
for special handling.

* No type cache for types with specialized mro, invalidation is hard.

* FIX: Don't disable method cache custom types that do not implement mro().

* fixing implem.

* Avoid storing error flags, also decref.

* news entry

* Clear as soon as we're getting an error.

* FIX: Reference leak.

The implementation is straightforward and essentially is just copied from `typing_extensions`.

The implementation is straightforward and essentially is just copied from `typing_extensions`.

The implementation is straightforward, it just mimics `ClassVar` (since the latter is also a name/access qualifier, not really a type). Also it is essentially copied from `typing_extensions`.

Update PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs and _PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs
to use _PyObject_GetMethod to avoid creating a bound method object
in many cases.

On a microbenchmark of PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs calling a method on
an interpreted Python class, this optimization resulted in a 1.7x
speedup.

* bpo-34632: Also include the test data directory.

* bpo-34632: remove the framework resources artifacts, accidentally added in 1bbf7b66 (ccbccce)

* 📝 Add a GitHub-specific security page

It will show up @
https://github.com/python/cpython/security/policy
allowing to navigate users who get there from "Security" tab in the
GitHub repo to the full article explaining the security vulnerability
reporting practices.

Add importlib.metadata module as forward port of the standalone importlib_metadata.

catch_unraisable_exception() now also removes its 'unraisable'
attribute at the context manager exit.

Add also missing AC_MSG_RESULT for AC_MSG_CHECKING(MACHDEP).

It is also possible to link against a library or executable with a
statically linked libpython, but not both with the same DLL.  In fact
building a statically linked python is currently broken on Cygwin
for other (related) reasons.

The same problem applies to other POSIX-like layers over Windows
(MinGW, MSYS) but Python's build system does not seem to attempt
to support those platforms at the moment.

* Fix a possible reference leak in _PyErr_Print() if exception
  is NULL.
* PyErr_BadInternalCall(): replace PyErr_Format() with _PyErr_SetString().
* Add pycore_pyerrors.h header file.
* New functions:

  * _PyErr_Clear()
  * _PyErr_Fetch()
  * _PyErr_Print()
  * _PyErr_Restore()
  * _PyErr_SetObject()
  * _PyErr_SetString()

* Add 'tstate' parameter to _PyEval_AddPendingCall().

PyOS_AfterFork_Child(): _PyInterpreterState_DeleteExceptMain() must
be called after _PyRuntimeState_ReInitThreads().

_PyRuntimeState_ReInitThreads() resets interpreters mutex after fork,
mutex used by _PyInterpreterState_DeleteExceptMain().
