Calendar.itermonthdates() will now consistently raise an exception when a date falls outside of the 0001-01-01 through 9999-12-31 range. To support applications that cannot tolerate such exceptions, the new methods itermonthdays3() and itermonthdays4() are added. The new methods return tuples and are not restricted by the range supported by datetime.date.

Thanks @serhiy-storchaka for suggesting the itermonthdays4() method and for the review.

Make more sense to replace the word "default value" with
"initializer" for Py_tss_NEEDS_INIT.

test_unparse.DirectoryTestCase now stores the names sample to always
test the same files. It prevents false alarms when hunting reference
leaks.

* Add Tools/scripts/smelly.py: script checking if all symbols
  exported by libpython start with "Py" or "_Py".
* Modify "make smelly" to run smelly.py: the command now fails with a
  non-zero exit code if libpython leaks a "smelly" symbol.
* Travis CI now runs "make smelly"

Rework the code choosing BLAKE2 code paths from using the optimized
variant on all x86_64 machines to using it when SSSE3 or better
supported instructions sets are available.

Firstly, this solves the problem of using pure SSE2 code path on x86_64
machines. As reported in the bug, this code is slower than the reference
code on all tested x86_64 machines. Furthermore, on Athlon64 that lacks
SSSE3, it is even 2.5 times slower than the reference code! Checking
for SSSE3 therefore ensures that the optimized implementation will only
be used when it has a chance of performing better.

Secondly, this makes it possible to use SSSE3+ optimizations on 32-bit
x86 systems. This allows for even 2 times speed gain on modern 32-bit
x86 systems (tested in a 32-bit chroot).

SyntaxError now is raised instead of SyntaxWarning.

Fix the following Coverity warning:

>>>     CID 1420038:  Control flow issues  (DEADCODE)
>>>     Execution cannot reach this statement: "res = sem_trywait(self->han...".
321                     res = sem_trywait(self->handle);

The deadcode was introduced by the commit
c872d39d.

Bad remainder in divmod() in intermediate calculations caused an assertion failure.

Improve human friendliness of the Popen API: Add text=False as a
keyword-only argument to subprocess.Popen along with a Popen
attribute .text_mode and set this based on the
encoding/errors/universal_newlines/text arguments.

The universal_newlines parameter and attribute are maintained for
backwards compatibility.

Move exception state information from frame objects to coroutine (generator/thread) object where it belongs.

bpo-31781: Prevent crashes when calling methods of an uninitialized zipimport.zipimporter object (GH-3986)

and in codecs.escape_decode() when decode an escaped non-ascii byte.

* bpo-31819: Add AbstractEventLoop.sock_recv_into()

* Add NEWS

* Add doc

This used to be the case on Python 2.  Commit
212b590e changed the implementation for Python
3, making the `log()` method of LogAdapter call `logger._log()` directly.  This
makes nested log adapters not execute their ``process()`` method.  This patch
fixes the issue.

Also, now proxying `name`, too, to make `repr()` work with nested log adapters.

New tests added.

Due to a bug in the initial fix, the setter was in fact creating a different
property.  This is now fixed.

The word "difference" from missing the sentence.
This clarifies that it compares the difference between the two objects.

Fix timeout rounding in time.sleep(), threading.Lock.acquire() and
socket.socket.settimeout() to round correctly negative timeouts between -1.0 and
0.0. The functions now block waiting for events as expected. Previously, the
call was incorrectly non-blocking.

Even if one selects a font that defines a limited subset of the unicode
Basic Multilingual Plane, tcl/tk will use other fonts that define a
character. The expanded example give users of non-Latin characters
a better idea of what they might see in the IDLE shell and editors.

To make room for the expanded sample, frames on the Font tab are
re-arranged. The Font/Tabs help explains a bit about the additions.

bpo-31803: time.clock() and time.get_clock_info('clock') now emit a
DeprecationWarning warning.

Replace time.clock() with time.perf_counter() in tests and demos.

Remove also hasattr(time, 'monotonic') in test_time since time.monotonic()
is now always available since Python 3.5.

bpo-31799: Make module.__spec__ more discoverable

Always pass -1, or INFTIM where defined, to the poll() system call when
a negative timeout is passed to the poll.poll([timeout]) method in the
select module. Various OSes throw an error with arbitrary negative
values.
