certain cases.

errors. Patch by Honglin Zhu.
gh-94938: Fix error detection in some builtin functions when keyword argument \ 
name is an instance of a str subclass with overloaded __eq__ and __hash__. \ 
Previously it could cause SystemError or other undesired behavior.
gh-94949: ast.parse() will no longer parse parenthesized context managers when \ 
passed feature_version less than (3, 9). Patch by Shantanu Jain.

ast nodes. Patch by Pablo Galindo.
gh-91153: Fix an issue where a bytearray item assignment could crash if it’s \ 
resized by the new value’s __index__() method.
gh-94329: Compile and run code with unpacking of extremely large sequences \ 
(1000s of elements). Such code failed to compile. It now compiles and runs \ 
correctly.

from stdin with non utf-8 encoded text. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-94192: Fix error for dictionary literals with invalid expression as value.

RuntimeError. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

gh-92336: Fix bug where linecache.getline() fails on bad files with \

function-like objects like instances of unittest.mock.AsyncMock.

asyncio.iscoroutinefunction(). Patch by Mehdi ABAAKOUK.

gh-83499: Fix double closing of file description in tempfile.

semaphore) could leak when a child process is spawned (as opposed to forked).

gh-79579: sqlite3 now correctly detects DML queries with leading comments. Patch \ 
by Erlend E. Aasland.
