* bpo-38916: array.array: remove fromstring() and tostring() (GH-17487)Victor Stinner2019-12-091-0/+5
| | | | array.array: Remove tostring() and fromstring() methods. They were aliases to tobytes() and frombytes(), deprecated since Python 3.2.
* Show the differing module names for readlink() (GH-17395)Yoni Lavi2019-11-271-2/+2
| | | This was very confusing with the text for both being just `readlink()`.
* Fix typo in Doc/whatsnew/3.9.rst (GH-17372)Pablo Galindo2019-11-251-1/+1
|
* bpo-38870: Expose a function to unparse an ast object in the ast module ↵Pablo Galindo2019-11-241-0/+5
| | | | | | | (GH-17302) Add ast.unparse() as a function in the ast module that can be used to unparse an ast.AST object and produce a string with code that would produce an equivalent ast.AST object when parsed.
* bpo-38896: Remove PyUnicode_ClearFreeList() function (GH-17354)Victor Stinner2019-11-231-0/+4
| | | | Remove PyUnicode_ClearFreeList() function: the Unicode free list has been removed in Python 3.3.
* bpo-37340: Remove PyMethod_ClearFreeList() and PyCFunction_ClearFreeList() ↵Victor Stinner2019-11-201-0/+5
| | | | | | | | (GH-17284) Remove PyMethod_ClearFreeList() and PyCFunction_ClearFreeList() functions: the free lists of bound method objects have been removed. Remove also _PyMethod_Fini() and _PyCFunction_Fini() functions.
* bpo-38835: Exclude PyFPE macros from the stable API (GH-17228)Victor Stinner2019-11-201-0/+4
| | | | Exclude PyFPE_START_PROTECT() and PyFPE_END_PROTECT() macros of pyfpe.h from Py_LIMITED_API (stable API).
* closes bpo-38712: Add signal.pidfd_send_signal. (GH-17070)Benjamin Peterson2019-11-201-0/+7
| | | | | | | | This exposes a Linux-specific syscall for sending a signal to a process identified by a file descriptor rather than a pid. For simplicity, we don't support the siginfo_t parameter to the syscall. This parameter allows implementing a pidfd version of rt_sigqueueinfo(2), which Python also doesn't support.
* bpo-28286: Deprecate opening GzipFile for writing implicitly. (GH-16417)Serhiy Storchaka2019-11-161-0/+6
| | | | Always specify the mode argument for writing.
* bpo-38650: Constify PyStructSequence_UnnamedField. (GH-17005)Serhiy Storchaka2019-11-161-0/+3
| | | | Make it a constant and referring to a constant string.

|
* bpo-38738: Fix formatting of True and False. (GH-17083)Serhiy Storchaka2019-11-121-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | * "Return true/false" is replaced with "Return ``True``/``False``" if the function actually returns a bool. * Fixed formatting of some True and False literals (now in monospace). * Replaced "True/False" with "true/false" if it can be not only bool. * Replaced some 1/0 with True/False if it corresponds the code. * "Returns <bool>" is replaced with "Return <bool>".
* bpo-36974: expand call protocol documentation (GH-13844)Jeroen Demeyer2019-11-121-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | CC @encukou I'm also adding Petr Viktorin as contributor for vectorcall in the "what's new" section. https://bugs.python.org/issue36974 Automerge-Triggered-By: @encukou Automerge-Triggered-By: @encukou

* bpo-38644: Add Py_EnterRecursiveCall() to the limited API (GH-17046)Victor Stinner2019-11-041-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Provide Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() as regular functions for the limited API. Previously, there were defined as macros, but these macros didn't work with the limited API which cannot access PyThreadState.recursion_depth field. Remove _Py_CheckRecursionLimit from the stable ABI. Add Include/cpython/ceval.h header file.
* bpo-37759: Show output from var_access_benchmark (GH-17040)Raymond Hettinger2019-11-041-3/+52
