called with bytes-like argument.

* Rewrite importlib _get_module_lock(): it is now responsible to hold
  the imp lock directly.
* _find_and_load() now holds the module lock to check if name is in
  sys.modules to prevent a race condition

Handle getattr(copy, 'deepcopy') error in _elementtree module
initialization.

One is a duplicate, one is set but cannot be altered by users.

multiprocessing.Queue.join_thread() now waits until the thread
completes, even if the thread was started by the same process which
created the queue.

Fix the following warning which occurs randomly when running
test_handle_called_with_mp_queue of test_logging.QueueListenerTest:

Warning -- threading_cleanup() failed to cleanup -1 threads after 4 sec (count: 0, dangling: 1)

to staticmethod() and classmethod().

Turns out that history-size was added in readline 6.0. This explain why
this tests fail on FreeBSD when using readline 5.2. We skip now the
history size if readline does not support it.

See https://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/CHANGES for
details.

* In config, put dump test code in a function; run it and unittest in 'if __name__ == '__main__'.
* Add class config.ConfigChanges based on changes_class_v4.py on bpo issue.
* Add class test_config.ChangesTest, partly based on configdialog_tests_v1.py on bpo issue.
* Revise configdialog to use ConfigChanges, mostly as specified in tracker msg297804.
* Revise test_configdialog to match configdialog changes.  All tests pass in both files.
* Remove configdialog functions unused or moved to ConfigChanges.

* test_readline logs the versions of libreadline when run in verbose
  mode
* Add also readline._READLINE_LIBRARY_VERSION

If history-length is set in .inputrc, and the history file is double the
history size (or more), history_get(N) returns NULL, and python
segfaults. Fix that by checking for NULL return value.

It seems that the root cause is incorrect handling of bigger history in
readline, but Python should not segfault even if readline returns
unexpected value.

This issue affects only GNU readline. When using libedit emulation
system history size option does not work.

Make test_shutil test_disk_usage not depend on the current working directory's filesystem.

explicitly the reference to the executor to make it that it's
destroyed (to prevent "dangling threads" warning).

parameters.

* bpo-30832: Remove own implementation for thread-local storage

CPython has provided the own implementation for thread-local storage
(TLS) on Python/thread.c, it's used in the case which a platform has
not supplied native TLS.  However, currently all supported platforms
(NT and pthreads) have provided native TLS and defined the
Py_HAVE_NATIVE_TLS macro with unconditional in any case.

* bpo-30832: remove comemnt which making no sense

--forever now stops if a fail changes the environment.
