* Rather than raise TypeError, warn and call list() on the value.

* Fix tests, revise NEWS and whatsnew text.

* Revise documentation, a string is okay as well.

* Ensure 'requires' and 'obsoletes' are real lists.

* Test that requires and obsoletes are turned to lists.

When tk event handling is driven by IDLE's run loop, a confusing
and distracting queue.EMPTY traceback context is no longer added
to tk event exception tracebacks.  The traceback is now the same
as when event handling is driven by user code.  Patch based on
a suggestion by Serhiy Storchaka.

Patches are in 3.7.0a3 even if this update is not.

Also fixed searching patterns that could match an empty string.

uuid.get_node() always must return a stable result.
Also added a test for non-reproducibility of _random_getnode().
Original patch by Xavier de Gaye.

The original algorithm tried to delegate the folding to the tokens so
that those tokens whose folding rules differed could specify the
differences.  However, this resulted in a lot of duplicated code because
most of the rules were the same.

The new algorithm moves all folding logic into a set of functions
external to the token classes, but puts the information about which
tokens can be folded in which ways on the tokens...with the exception of
mime-parameters, which are a special case (which was not even
implemented in the old folder).

This algorithm can still probably be improved and hopefully simplified
somewhat.

Note that some of the test expectations are changed.  I believe the
changes are toward more desirable and consistent behavior: in general
when (re) folding a line the canonical version of the tokens is
generated, rather than preserving errors or extra whitespace.

instead of crashing due to a stack overflow.

This perhaps will fix similar problems in other extension types.

Add import_find_and_load() helper function.  The addition of
the importtime option has made PyImport_ImportModuleLevelObject() large
and so using a helper seems worthwhile.  It also makes it clearer that
abs_name is the only argument needed by _find_and_load().

Previously, CO_NOFREE was set in the compiler, which meant
it could end up being set incorrectly when code objects
were created directly. Setting it in the constructor based
on freevars and cellvars ensures it is always accurate,
regardless of how the code object is defined.

Also addresses doc build failures documented in bpo-32200.

If the marshal or bytecode formats get changed, frozen.c needs to
be updated as well.  It can be easy to miss this step and not doing
so can cause test_importlib to crash in mysterious ways.  Add an
explict unit test to make it easier to track down the problem.

_PyPathConfig_Init() now also initialize home and program_name:

* Rename existing _PyPathConfig_Init() to _PyPathConfig_Calculate().
  Add a new _PyPathConfig_Init() function in pathconfig.c which
  handles the _Py_path_config variable and call
  _PyPathConfig_Calculate().
* Add home and program_name fields to _PyPathConfig.home
* _PyPathConfig_Init() now initialize home and program_name
  from main_config
* Py_SetProgramName(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_GetPythonHome() now
  calls Py_FatalError() on failure, instead of silently ignoring
  failures.
* config_init_home() now gets directly _Py_path_config.home to only
  get the value set by Py_SetPythonHome(), or NULL if
  Py_SetPythonHome() was not called.
* config_get_program_name() now gets directly
  _Py_path_config.program_name to only get the value set by
  Py_SetProgramName(), or NULL if Py_SetProgramName() was not called.
* pymain_init_python() doesn't call Py_SetProgramName() anymore,
  _PyPathConfig_Init() now always sets the program name
* Call _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Read() in
  pymain_parse_cmdline_envvars_impl() to control the memory allocator
* C API documentation: it's no more safe to call Py_GetProgramName()
  before Py_Initialize().

* Factorize code from PC/getpathp.c and Modules/getpath.c to remove
  duplicated code
* rename pathconfig_clear() to _PyPathConfig_Clear()
* Inline _PyPathConfig_Fini() in pymain_impl() and then remove it,
  since it's a oneliner

Changes:

* _PyPathConfig_Fini() cannot be called in Py_FinalizeEx().
  Py_Initialize() and Py_Finalize() can be called multiple times, but
  it must not "forget" parameters set by Py_SetProgramName(),
  Py_SetPath() or Py_SetPythonHome(), whereas _PyPathConfig_Fini()
  clear all these parameters.
* config_get_program_name() and calculate_program_full_path() now
  also decode paths using Py_DecodeLocale() to use the
  surrogateescape error handler, rather than decoding using
  mbstowcs() which is strict.
* Change _Py_CheckPython3() prototype: () => (void)
* Truncate a few lines which were too long

* _PyMainInterpreterConfig_ReadEnv() now sets program_name from
  environment variables and pymain_parse_envvars() implements the
  falls back on argv[0].
* Remove _PyMain.program_name: use the program_name from
  _PyMainInterpreterConfig
* Move the Py_SetProgramName() call back to pymain_init_python(),
  just before _Py_InitializeCore().
* pathconfig_global_init() now also calls
  _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Read() to set program_name if it isn't set
  yet
* Cleanup PyCalculatePath: pass main_config to subfunctions to get
  directly fields from main_config (home, module_search_path_env and
  program_name)

* Rename PyPathConfig structure to _PyPathConfig and move it to
  Include/internal/pystate.h
* Rename path_config to _Py_path_config
* _PyPathConfig: Rename program_name field to program_full_path
* Add assert(str != NULL); to _PyMem_RawWcsdup(), _PyMem_RawStrdup()
  and _PyMem_Strdup().
* Rename calculate_path() to pathconfig_global_init(). The function
  now does nothing if it's already initiallized.

Skip tests with test.support.import_module('multiprocessing.synchronize')
instead when the semaphore implementation is broken or missing.

The current behaviour of yield expressions inside comprehensions  and
generator expressions is essentially an accident of implementation - it
arises implicitly from the way the compiler handles yield expressions inside
nested functions and generators.

Since the current behaviour wasn't deliberately designed, and is inherently
confusing, we're deprecating it, with no current plans to reintroduce it.
Instead, our advice will be to use a named nested generator definition
for cases where this behaviour is desired.

In _io_FileIO_readall_impl(), lseek() and _Py_fstat_noraise() were called
without releasing the GIL. This can cause all threads to hang for
unlimited time when calling FileIO.read() and the NFS server is not
accessible.

Fix the following false-alarm Coverity warning:

    Result is not floating-point
    (UNINTENDED_INTEGER_DIVISION)integer_division: Dividing integer
    expressions 9223372036854775807LL and 1000LL, and then converting
    the integer quotient to type double. Any remainder, or fractional
    part of the quotient, is ignored.

    To compute and use a non-integer quotient, change or cast either
    operand to type double. If integer division is intended, consider
    indicating that by casting the result to type long long .

Avoid also "cd $(srcdir)" to not change the current directory.

* Fixed saving bytearrays.
* Identical objects will be saved only once.
* Equal references will be load as identical objects.
* Added support for saving and loading recursive data structures.

When PyGILState_Ensure() is called in a non-Python thread before
PyEval_InitThreads(), only call PyEval_InitThreads() after calling
PyThreadState_New() to fix a crash.

Add an unit test in test_embed.

with the persistent_id() and persistent_load() methods.

_Py_InitializeEx_Private() now calls
_PyMainInterpreterConfig_ReadEnv() to read environment variables
PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH, and set the program name.

Handle PyModule_AddIntConstant() and PyModule_AddStringConstant()
failures. Add also constants before calling setup_readline(), since
setup_readline() registers callbacks which uses a reference to the
module, whereas the module is destroyed if adding constants fails.

Fix Coverity warning:

2. check_return: Calling PyModule_AddStringConstant without checking
return value (as is done elsewhere 45 out of 55 times).
