This follows GNU gzip, which defaults to using 0 as the mtime
for compressing stdin, where no file mtime is involved.
This makes the output of gzip.compress() deterministic by default,
greatly helping reproducible builds.

Raise ValueError in add_argument() if either explicit nargs=0 or action
that does not consume arguments (like 'store_const' or 'store_true') is
specified for positional argument.
Previously, all nested mutually exclusive groups lost their connection
to the group containing them and were displayed as belonging directly
to the parser.

memcopy'ing arbitrary values to _Bool variable triggers undefined
behaviour. Avoid this.
We assume that `false` is represented by all zero bytes.

* Add definitions for "context", "current context", and "context
management protocol".
* Update related definitions to be consistent with the new
definitions.
* Restructure the documentation for the `contextvars.Context` class
to prepare for adding context manager support, and for consistency
with the definitions.
* Use `testcode` and `testoutput` to test the `Context.run` example.
* Expand the documentation for the `Py_CONTEXT_EVENT_ENTER` and
`Py_CONTEXT_EVENT_EXIT` events to clarify and to prepare for
planned changes.
As argparse now detects by default when the code was run as a module.
This leads to using the actual executable name instead of simply "python"
to display in the usage message ("usage: python -m ...").
Fix a crash caused by immortal interned strings being shared between
sub-interpreters that use basic single-phase init. In that case, the string
can be used by an interpreter that outlives the interpreter that created and
interned it. For interpreters that share obmalloc state, also share the
interned dict with the main interpreter.
This is an un-revert of gh-124646 that then addresses the Py_TRACE_REFS
failures identified by gh-124785.

This allows testing Y2038 with system time set to after that,
so that actual Y2038 issues can be exposed, and not masked
by expired certificate errors.

If the PYTHON_BASIC_REPL environment variable is set, the site module
no longer imports the _pyrepl module.
Moreover, the site module now respects -E and -I command line
options: ignore PYTHON_BASIC_REPL in this case.
- move the Py_Main documentation from the very high level API section
to the initialization and finalization section
- make it clear that it encapsulates a full Py_Initialize/Finalize
cycle of its own
- point out that exactly which settings will be read and applied
correctly when Py_Main is called after a separate runtime
initialization call is version dependent
- be explicit that Py_IsInitialized can be called prior to
initialization
- actually test that Py_IsInitialized can be called prior to
initialization
- flush stdout in the embedding tests that run code so it appears
in the expected order when running with "-vv"
- make "-vv" on the subinterpreter embedding tests less spammy

The function now sets temporarily the LC_CTYPE locale to the locale
of the category that determines the requested value if the locales are
different and the resulting string is non-ASCII.
This temporary change affects other threads.
The term "free variable" has unfortunately become genuinely
ambiguous over the years (presumably due to the names of
some relevant code object instance attributes).
While we can't eliminate that ambiguity at this late date, we can
at least alert people to the potential ambiguity by describing
both the formal meaning of the term and the common
alternative use as a direct synonym for "closure variable".

* gh-117151: increase default buffer size of shutil.copyfileobj() to 256k.
it was set to 16k in the 1990s.
it was raised to 64k in 2019. the discussion at the time mentioned another 5% improvement by raising to 128k and settled for a very conservative setting.
it's 2024 now, I think it should be revisited to match modern hardware. I am measuring 0-15% performance improvement when raising to 256k on various types of disk. there is no downside as far as I can tell.
this function is only intended for sequential copy of full files (or file like objects). it's the typical use case that benefits from larger operations.
for reference, I came across this function while trying to profile pip that is using it to copy files when installing python packages.
* add news

Instead of surprise crashes and memory corruption, we now hang threads that attempt to re-enter the Python interpreter after Python runtime finalization has started. These are typically daemon threads (our long standing mis-feature) but could also be threads spawned by extension modules that then try to call into Python. This marks the `PyThread_exit_thread` public C API as deprecated as there is no plausible safe way to accomplish that on any supported platform in the face of things like C++ code with finalizers anywhere on a thread's stack. Doing this was the least bad option.

This is actually an upstream problem in curses, and has been reported
to them already:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2024-09/msg00101.html
This is a nice workaround in the meantime to prevent the segfault.
