| | | | | | | | Much of the information was duplicated in stdtypes.rst; this PR keeps lexical/syntactical details in Lexical Analysis and the evaluation & runtime behaviour in Standard types, with cross-references between the two. Since the t-string section only listed differences from f-strings, and the grammar for the two is equivalent, that section was moved to Standard types almost entirely.

* gh-135676: Simplify docs on lexing names (GH-140464)Petr Viktorin2025-11-261-58/+103
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This simplifies the Lexical Analysis section on Names (but keeps it technically correct) by putting all the info about non-ASCII characters in a separate (and very technical) section. It uses a mental model where the parser doesn't handle Unicode complexity “immediately”, but: - parses any non-ASCII character (outside strings/comments) as part of a name, since these can't (yet) be e.g. operators - normalizes the name - validates the name, using the xid_start/xid_continue sets Co-authored-by: Stan Ulbrych <89152624+StanFromIreland@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Blaise Pabon <blaise@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Micha Albert <info@micha.zone> Co-authored-by: KeithTheEE <kmurrayis@gmail.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prepare the docs for using the notation used in the `python.gram` file. If we want to sync the two, the meta-syntax should be the same. Link the Full Grammar docs here; keep only a few extras. Also, remove the distinction between lexical and syntactic rules, except for whitespace handling. With f- and t-strings, the line between the two is blurry.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | - Mention (again) that `type.__annotations__` is unsafe. It is now safe when using only classes defined under PEP 649 semantics, but not with classes defined using `from __future__ import annotations`. - Mention that annotations on instances no longer work. There was already an issue about this. - Mention the general changes in the "Porting to Python 3.14" section. - `annotationlib` was proposed by PEP-749, not PEP-649.

| | | | | | | | | | get_annotate_function (#132490) As noted on the issue, making get_annotate_function() support both types and mappings is problematic because one object may be both. So let's add a new one that works with any mapping. This leaves get_annotate_function() not very useful, so remove it.
