Creating backup files with ~ suffix can be undesirable in some environment,
such as when building RPM packages. Instead of requiring the user to remove
those files manually, option -n was added, that simply disables this feature.
-n was selected because 2to3 has the same option with this behavior.
CPython migrated from CVS to Subversion, to Mercurial, and then to
Git. CVS and Subversion are not more used to develop CPython.
* platform module: drop support for sys.subversion. The
sys.subversion attribute has been removed in Python 3.3.
* Remove Misc/svnmap.txt
* Remove Tools/scripts/svneol.py
* Remove Tools/scripts/treesync.py
* distutils.config: Use the PyPIRCCommand.realm attribute if set
* turtledemo: wait until macOS osascript command completes to not
create a zombie process
* Tools/scripts/treesync.py: declare 'default_answer' and
'create_files' as globals to modify them with the command line
arguments. Previously, -y, -n, -f and -a options had no effect.
flake8 warning: "F841 local variable 'p' is assigned to but never
used".
* Add Tools/scripts/smelly.py: script checking if all symbols
exported by libpython start with "Py" or "_Py".
* Modify "make smelly" to run smelly.py: the command now fails with a
non-zero exit code if libpython leaks a "smelly" symbol.
* Travis CI now runs "make smelly"
Tools/scripts/patchcheck.py now ignores changes in directories which
are copies of external libraries:
* Modules/_ctypes/libffi_msvc/
* Modules/_ctypes/libffi_osx/
* Modules/_decimal/libmpdec/
* Modules/expat/
* Modules/zlib/
Drop also support for Mercurial, since CPython migrated to Git.
Exclude also libmpdec
patchcheck: exclude also libffi_osx and libffi_msvc
