Log message:
python312 py312-html-docs: added version 3.12.0

Python 3.12

New syntax features:

PEP 695, type parameter syntax and the type statement

New grammar features:

PEP 701, f-strings in the grammar

Interpreter improvements:

PEP 684, a unique per-interpreter GIL
PEP 669, low impact monitoring
Improved ‘Did you mean …’ suggestions for NameError, ImportError, and \ 
SyntaxError exceptions

Python data model improvements:

PEP 688, using the buffer protocol from Python

Significant improvements in the standard library:

The pathlib.Path class now supports subclassing
The os module received several improvements for Windows support
A command-line interface has been added to the sqlite3 module
isinstance() checks against runtime-checkable protocols enjoy a speed up of \ 
between two and 20 times
The asyncio package has had a number of performance improvements, with some \ 
benchmarks showing a 75% speed up.
A command-line interface has been added to the uuid module
Due to the changes in PEP 701, producing tokens via the tokenize module is up to \ 
up to 64% faster.

Security improvements:

Replace the builtin hashlib implementations of SHA1, SHA3, SHA2-384, SHA2-512, \ 
and MD5 with formally verified code from the HACL* project. These builtin \ 
implementations remain as fallbacks that are only used when OpenSSL does not \ 
provide them.

C API improvements:

PEP 697, unstable C API tier
PEP 683, immortal objects

CPython implementation improvements:

PEP 709, comprehension inlining
CPython support for the Linux perf profiler
Implement stack overflow protection on supported platforms

New typing features:

PEP 692, using TypedDict to annotate **kwargs
PEP 698, typing.override() decorator

Important deprecations, removals or restrictions:

PEP 623: Remove wstr from Unicode objects in Python’s C API, reducing the size \ 
of every str object by at least 8 bytes.
PEP 632: Remove the distutils package. See the migration guide for advice \ 
replacing the APIs it provided. The third-party Setuptools package continues to \ 
provide distutils, if you still require it in Python 3.12 and beyond.
gh-95299: Do not pre-install setuptools in virtual environments created with \ 
venv. This means that distutils, setuptools, pkg_resources, and easy_install \ 
will no longer available by default; to access these run pip install setuptools \ 
in the activated virtual environment.
The asynchat, asyncore, and imp modules have been removed, along with several \ 
unittest.TestCase method aliases.
