interpreter under test is being run in an environment that requires the use of
environment variables such as PYTHONHOME in order to function at all.

Adds a private test.script_helper._interpreter_requires_environment() function
to be used with @unittest.skipIf on stdlib test methods requiring this.

*any* kwarg supplied to _assert_python causes it to not append -E to the
command line flags so without='-E' does effectively work.

script_helper.assert_python_failure().  No such feature has ever existed,
thus it doesn't do what the comment claims.  (It does add a 'without'
variable to the environment of the child process but that was not intended)

 -I

    Run Python in isolated mode. This also implies -E and -s. In isolated mode
    sys.path contains neither the script’s directory nor the user’s
    site-packages directory. All PYTHON* environment variables are ignored,
    too. Further restrictions may be imposed to prevent the user from
    injecting malicious code.

not to stderr.  Patch by Berker Peksag and Michael Dickens.

(test.regrtest and test.script_helper enable faulthandler module in
subprocesses).

#17323: The "[X refs, Y blocks]" printed by debug builds has been disabled by default.  It can be re-enabled with the `-X showrefcount` option.

TESTFN_NONASCII of test.support from Python 3.4. Backport tests on non-ASCII
paths.

in order to make algorithmic complexity attacks on (e.g.) web apps much more complicated.

The environment variable PYTHONHASHSEED and the new command line flag -R control this
behavior.

It was already the case with Python 2.  However, the corresponding
sys module entries are now set to None (instead of an unusable file object).

Issue #13444: When stdout has been closed explicitly, we should not attempt to flush it at shutdown and print an error.

This also adds a test for issue #5319, whose resolution introduced the issue.

'latin-1' and 'utf-8'.

These are optimized in the Python Unicode implementation
to result in more direct processing, bypassing the codec
registry.
