Eric Snow 345cd37abe bpo-36876: Fix the C analyzer tool. (GH-22841)
The original tool wasn't working right and it was simpler to create a new one, partially re-using some of the old code. At this point the tool runs properly on the master. (Try: ./python Tools/c-analyzer/c-analyzer.py analyze.)  It take ~40 seconds on my machine to analyze the full CPython code base.

Note that we'll need to iron out some OS-specific stuff (e.g. preprocessor). We're okay though since this tool isn't used yet in our workflow. We will also need to verify the analysis results in detail before activating the check in CI, though I'm pretty sure it's close.

This directory contains a number of Python programs that are useful
while building or extending Python.

buildbot        Batchfiles for running on Windows buildbot workers.

ccbench         A Python threads-based concurrency benchmark. (*)

demo            Several Python programming demos.

freeze          Create a stand-alone executable from a Python program.

gdb             Python code to be run inside gdb, to make it easier to
                debug Python itself (by David Malcolm).

i18n            Tools for internationalization. pygettext.py
                parses Python source code and generates .pot files,
                and msgfmt.py generates a binary message catalog
                from a catalog in text format.

iobench         Benchmark for the new Python I/O system. (*)

msi             Support for packaging Python as an MSI package on Windows.

peg_generator   PEG-based parser generator (pegen) used for new parser.

pynche          A Tkinter-based color editor.

scripts         A number of useful single-file programs, e.g. tabnanny.py
                by Tim Peters, which checks for inconsistent mixing of
                tabs and spaces, and 2to3, which converts Python 2 code
                to Python 3 code.

stringbench     A suite of micro-benchmarks for various operations on
                strings (both 8-bit and unicode). (*)

test2to3        A demonstration of how to use 2to3 transparently in setup.py.

unicode         Tools for generating unicodedata and codecs from unicode.org
                and other mapping files (by Fredrik Lundh, Marc-Andre Lemburg
                and Martin von Loewis).

unittestgui     A Tkinter based GUI test runner for unittest, with test
                discovery.
