Along the way, dismantle importlib._bootstrap._SpecMethods as it was
no longer relevant and constructing the new function required
partially dismantling the class anyway.

The function is also moved to importlib.util.

Note that __spec__.name is not currently guaranteed to be in
sys.modules when the code is running, only __name__ is.

The "running module is in sys.modules" invariant will be
expanded to also cover __spec__.name in a subsequent patch.

To make sure there is no issue with code that is both Python 2 and 3
compatible, there are no plans to remove the module any sooner than
Python 4 (unless the community moves to Python 3 solidly before then).

Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.

Close #15386: There was a loophole that meant importlib.machinery and imp would sometimes reference an uninitialised copy of importlib._bootstrap

Take the first step in resolving the messy pkgutil vs importlib edge cases by basing pkgutil explicitly on importlib, deprecating its internal import emulation and setting __main__.__loader__ correctly so that runpy still works (Affects #15343, #15314, #15357)

Close #15230: runpy.run_path now sets __package__ correctly. Also refactored the runpy tests to use a more systematic approach

finder instead of using some (now non-existent) implicit finder.

be implicit.

Added a warning for when sys.path_hooks is found to be empty. Also
changed the meaning of None in sys.path_importer_cache to represent
trying sys.path_hooks again (an interpretation of previous semantics).
Also added a warning for when None was found.

The long-term goal is for None in sys.path_importer_cache to represent
the same as imp.NullImporter: no finder found for that sys.path entry.

instead of text mode using the locale encoding, to support other encodings than
UTF-8 (scripts using the coding cookie).

The U flag is no more used (but still accepted for backward compatibility).

  Issue #7376: When called with no arguments doctest was running a
  self-test.  Because of a change to the way tracebacks are printed,
  this self-test was failing.  The test is run (and passes) during normal
  regression testing.  So instead of running the failing self-test this
  patch makes doctest emit a usage message.  This is better behavior anyway
  since passing in arguments is the real reason to run doctest as a command.

  Bug discovery and initial patch by Florent Xicluna.

  Here's a patch which addresses this.  It also fixes the indentation in
  PySSL_SetError, bringing it into line with PEP 7, fixes a compile warning
  about one of the OpenSSL macros, and makes the namespace a bit more
  consistent.  I've tested it on FC 7 and OS X 10.4.

  Improve extended slicing support in builtin types and classes. Specifically:

   - Specialcase extended slices that amount to a shallow copy the same way as
     is done for simple slices, in the tuple, string and unicode case.

   - Specialcase step-1 extended slices to optimize the common case for all
     involved types.

   - For lists, allow extended slice assignment of differing lengths as long
     as the step is 1. (Previously, 'l[:2:1] = []' failed even though
     'l[:2] = []' and 'l[:2:None] = []' do not.)

   - Implement extended slicing for buffer, array, structseq, mmap and
     UserString.UserString.

   - Implement slice-object support (but not non-step-1 slice assignment) for
     UserString.MutableString.

   - Add tests for all new functionality.
