pickle.Unpickler involving cyclic references via the internal
memo mapping.
- bpo-40262: The ssl.SSLSocket.recv_into() method no longer

- Documentation

documentation.

Patch by Victor Stinner.
- gh-110995: test_gdb: Fix detection of gdb built without Python
scripting support. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- gh-110918: Test case matching patterns specified by options
--match, --ignore, --matchfile and --ignorefile are now tested
in the order of specification, and the last match determines
whether the test case be run or ignored.
- gh-110647: Fix test_stress_modifying_handlers() of test_signal.
Patch by Victor Stinner.
- gh-103053: Fix test_tools.test_freeze on FreeBSD: run “make
distclean” instead of “make clean” in the copied source
directory to remove also the “python” program. Patch by Victor
Stinner.
- gh-110167: Fix a deadlock in test_socket when server fails with
a timeout but the client is still running in its thread. Don’t
hold a lock to call cleanup functions in doCleanups(). One of
the cleanup function waits until the client completes, whereas
the client could deadlock if it called addCleanup() in such
situation. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- gh-110388: Add tests for tty.
- gh-81002: Add tests for termios.
- gh-110267: Add tests for pickling and copying PyStructSequence
objects. Patched by Xuehai Pan.
- gh-109974: Fix race conditions in test_threading lock tests.
Wait until a condition is met rather than using time.sleep()
with a hardcoded number of seconds. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- gh-109972: Split test_gdb.py file into a test_gdb package made
of multiple tests, so tests can now be run in parallel. Patch by
Victor Stinner.
- gh-104736: Fix test_gdb on Python built with LLVM clang 16 on
Linux ppc64le (ex: Fedora 38). Search patterns in gdb “bt”
command output to detect when gdb fails to retrieve the
traceback. For example, skip a test if Backtrace stopped: frame
did not save the PC is found. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- gh-108927: Fixed order dependence in running tests in the same
process when a test that has submodules (e.g. test_importlib)
follows a test that imports its submodule (e.g.
test_importlib.util) and precedes a test (e.g. test_unittest or
test_compileall) that uses that submodule.
- Build
- gh-103053: “make check-clean-src” now also checks if the
“python” program is found in the source directory: fail with an
error if it does exist. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- gh-109191: Fix compile error when building with recent versions
of libedit.
- IDLE
- bpo-35668: Add docstrings to the IDLE debugger module. Fix two
bugs: initialize Idb.botframe (should be in Bdb); in
Idb.in_rpc_code, check whether prev_frame is None before trying
to use it. Greatly expand test_debugger.
- C API
- gh-112438: Fix support of format units “es”, “et”, “es#”, and
“et#” in nested tuples in PyArg_ParseTuple()-like functions.
- gh-109521: PyImport_GetImporter() now sets RuntimeError if it
fails to get sys.path_hooks or sys.path_importer_cache or they
are not list and dict correspondingly. Previously it could
return NULL without setting error in obscure cases, crash or
raise SystemError if these attributes have wrong type.
