When changing docs, it was easy to find text in topics.py, and I
wondered whether I was supposed to edit it. Thankfully, the top of the
file says it's auto-generated, so I knew I didn't have to edit it. But I
didn't know what started the auto-generation process.
It's part of the release process, so I'll leave a note here for future
editors.
The getopt module exists since the initial revision of the Python
source code (1990). The optparse module was added to Python 2.3. When
Python 2.7 added the 3rd argparse module, the optparse module was
soft deprecated. Soft deprecate the getopt module.
Some items remained uninitialized if _sre.template() was called with invalid
indices. Then attempt to clear them in the destructor led to dereferencing
of uninitialized pointer.
When running 'make regen-cases' just to check whether anything changed,
it's annoying that even if nothing changes, the output files are touched,
causing an expensiv rebuild of _bootstrap_python and anything it creates.
So use consistently for all output files.
Schedule the removal of C API global configuration variables in
Python 3.14. Announce the removal to help C extension maintainers to
upgrade their code.
This adds several of unspecialized opcodes to superblocks:
TO_BOOL, BINARY_SUBSCR, STORE_SUBSCR,
UNPACK_SEQUENCE, LOAD_GLOBAL, LOAD_ATTR,
COMPARE_OP, BINARY_OP.
While we may not want that eventually, for now this helps finding bugs.
There is a rudimentary test checking for UNPACK_SEQUENCE.
Once we're ready to undo this, that would be simple:
just replace the call to variable_used_unspecialized
with a call to variable_used (as shown in a comment).
Or add individual opcdes to FORBIDDEN_NAMES_IN_UOPS.
Instead of special-casing specific instructions,
we add a few more special values to the 'size' field of expansions,
so in the future we can automatically handle
additional super-instructions in the generator.
Prevent `multiprocessing.spawn` from failing to *import* in environments
where `sys.executable` is `None`. This regressed in 3.11 with the addition
of support for path-like objects in multiprocessing.
Adds a test decorator to have tests only run when part of test_multiprocessing_spawn to `_test_multiprocessing.py` so we can start to avoid re-running the same not-global-state specific test in all 3 modes when there is no need.
The uops test wasn't testing anything by default,
and was failing when run with -Xuops.
Made the two executor-related context managers global,
so TestUops can use them (notably `with temporary_optimizer(opt)`).
Made clear_executor() a little more thorough.
Fixed a crash upon finalizing a uop optimizer,
by adding a `tp_dealloc` handler.
When `_PyOptimizer_BackEdge` returns `NULL`, we should restore `next_instr` (and `stack_pointer`). To accomplish this we should jump to `resume_with_error` instead of just `error`.
The problem this causes is subtle -- the only repro I have is in PR gh-106393, at commit d7df54b139bcc47f5ea094bfaa9824f79bc45adc. But the fix is real (as shown later in that PR).
While we're at it, also improve the debug output: the offsets at which traces are identified are now measured in bytes, and always show the start offset. This makes it easier to correlate executor calls with optimizer calls, and either with `dis` output.

Mark `testthreadingmock.py` with `threading_helper.requires_working_threading`.
Also add longer delays to reduce the change of a race conditions on the tests that validate short timeouts.
