gh-110590: Fix a bug in _sre.compile() where TypeError would be overwritten by \ 
OverflowError when the code argument was a list of non-ints.
gh-65052: Prevent pdb from crashing when trying to display undisplayable objects
gh-110519: Deprecation warning about non-integer number in gettext now alwais \ 
refers to the line in the user code where gettext function or method is used. \

during parsing integers from term list.
gh-110196: Add __reduce__ method to IPv6Address in order to keep scope_id

gh-109786: Fix possible reference leaks and crash when re-enter the __next__() \ 
method of itertools.pairwise.

cyclic references via the internal memo mapping.
bpo-40262: The ssl.SSLSocket.recv_into() method no longer requires the buffer \ 
argument to implement __len__ and supports buffers with arbitrary item size.

caused it to interpret multiples of 2**32 as False.

Documentation

gh-108826: dis module command-line interface is now mentioned in documentation.

Tests

gh-110367: Make regrtest --verbose3 option compatible with --huntrleaks -jN \ 
options. The ./python -m test -j1 -R 3:3 --verbose3 command now works as \ 
expected. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-111309: distutils tests can now be run via unittest.
gh-111165: Remove no longer used functions run_unittest() and run_doctest() and \ 
class BasicTestRunner from the test.support module.
gh-110932: Fix regrtest if the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable is \ 
defined: use the variable value as the random seed. 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.

Windows

gh-110913: WindowsConsoleIO now correctly chunks large buffers without splitting \ 
up UTF-8 sequences.
gh-110437: Allows overriding the source of VC redistributables so that releases \ 
can be guaranteed to never downgrade between updates.
gh-109286: Update Windows installer to use SQLite 3.43.1.

macOS

gh-110950: Update macOS installer to include an upstream Tcl/Tk fix for the \ 
Secure coding is not enabled for restorable state! warning encountered in \ 
Tkinter on macOS 14 Sonoma.
gh-111015: Ensure that IDLE.app and Python Launcher.app are installed with \ 
appropriate permissions on macOS builds.
gh-109286: Update macOS installer to use SQLite 3.43.1.
gh-71383: Update macOS installer to include an upstream Tcl/Tk fix for the \ 
ttk::ThemeChanged error encountered in Tkinter.
gh-92603: Update macOS installer to include a fix accepted by upstream Tcl/Tk \ 
for a crash encountered after the first tkinter.Tk() instance is destroyed.
gh-99834: Update macOS installer to Tcl/Tk 8.6.13.

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.
