* bpo-6532: Make the thread id an unsigned integer.
From C API side the type of results of PyThread_start_new_thread() and
PyThread_get_thread_ident(), the id parameter of
PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(), and the thread_id field of PyThreadState
changed from "long" to "unsigned long".
* Restore a check in thread_get_ident().
When LOAD_METHOD is used for calling C mehtod, PyMethodDescrObject
was passed to profilefunc from 5566bbb.
But lsprof traces only PyCFunctionObject. Additionally, there can be
some third party extension which assumes passed arg is
PyCFunctionObject without calling PyCFunction_Check().
So make PyCFunctionObject from PyMethodDescrObject when
tstate->c_profilefunc is set.
sys.version and the platform module python_build(),
python_branch(), and python_revision() functions now use
git information rather than hg when building from a repo.
Based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve Dower.
bpo-29463 added optional "docstring" field to 4 AST types.
While it is optional, it breaks backward compatibility because AST constructor
requires number of positional argument is same to number of fields.
AST types accepts empty arguments, and incomplete keyword arguments.
But it's not big problem because field can be filled after creation, and checked when compiling.
So stop requiring complete set of fields for positional arguments too.
When you use `'%s' % SubClassOfStr()`, where `SubClassOfStr.__rmod__` exists, the reverse operation is ignored as normally such string formatting operations use the `PyUnicode_Format()` fast path. This patch tests for subclasses of `str` first and picks the slow path in that case.
