* [3.7] bpo-43293: Doc: move note about GIL to top of threading module ↵Guanzhong Chen2021-02-261-12/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | (GH-24622) (#24642) The note about the GIL was buried pretty deep in the threading documentation, and this made it hard for first time users to discover why their attempts at using threading to parallelizing their application did not work. In this commit, the note is moved to the top of the module documention for visibility..

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | bpo-42967: [security] Address a web cache-poisoning issue reported in urllib.parse.parse_qsl(). urllib.parse will only us "&" as query string separator by default instead of both ";" and "&" as allowed in earlier versions.

* [3.7] bpo-40895: Update weakref documentation to remove old warnings ↵Antoine Pitrou2020-06-101-14/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (GH-20687) (GH-20793) The doccumentation at https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/weakref.html cautions that the `WeakKeyDictionary` and `WeakValueDictionary` are susceptible to the problem of dictionary mutation during iteration. These notes present the user with a problem that has no easy solution. I dug into the implementation and found that fortunately, Antoine Pitrou already addressed this challenge (10 years ago!) by introducing an `_IterationGuard` context manager to the implementation, which delays mutation while an iteration is in progress. I asked for confirmation and @pitrou agreed that these notes could be removed: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/c1baa601e2b558deb690edfdf334fceee3b03327GH-commitcomment-39514438.
