# Improve asyncio.wait function

The original code creates the futures set two times.
We can create this set before, avoiding the second creation.

This new behaviour [breaks the aiokafka library](aio-libs/aiokafka#672), because it gives an iterator to that function, so the second iteration become empty.

Fix _PyConfig_Read() if compute_path_config=0: use values set by
Py_SetPath(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_SetProgramName(). Add
compute_path_config parameter to _PyConfig_InitPathConfig().

The following functions now return NULL if called before
Py_Initialize():

* Py_GetExecPrefix()
* Py_GetPath()
* Py_GetPrefix()
* Py_GetProgramFullPath()
* Py_GetProgramName()
* Py_GetPythonHome()

These functions no longer automatically computes the Python Path
Configuration. Moreover, Py_SetPath() no longer computes
program_full_path.

The onerror is supposed to be called with failed function, but in this case lstat is wrongly used instead of open.

Not sure if this needs bug or not...

The overflow occurs under some circumstances when a task or future
recursively returns itself.

The path configuration is now computed in the "main" initialization.
The core initialization no longer computes it.

* Add _PyConfig_Read() function to read the configuration without
  computing the path configuration.
* pyinit_core() no longer computes the path configuration: it is now
  computed by init_interp_main().
* The path configuration output members of PyConfig are now optional:

  * executable
  * base_executable
  * prefix
  * base_prefix
  * exec_prefix
  * base_exec_prefix

* _PySys_UpdateConfig() now skips NULL strings in PyConfig.
* _testembed: Rename test_set_config() to test_init_set_config() for
  consistency with other tests.

Adds support to Tools/i18n/pygettext.py for gettext calls in f-strings. This process is done by parsing the f-strings, processing each value, and flagging the ones which contain a gettext call.

It is not clear why this can happen, but several users have mentioned

* Add support for macOS 11 and Apple Silicon (aka arm64)
   
  As a side effect of this work use the system copy of libffi on macOS, and remove the vendored copy

* Support building on recent versions of macOS while deploying to older versions

  This allows building installers on macOS 11 while still supporting macOS 10.9.

Fixes a grammar problem by adding a missing "as", and clarifies the wording of the valid ranges for max_workers.

@vstinner / @corona10, would you mind reviewing this?

* The AST optimiser wasn't descending into named expressions, so
  any constant subexpressions weren't being folded at compile time
* Remove "default:" clauses inside the AST optimiser code to reduce the
  risk of similar bugs passing unnoticed in future compiler changes

The format_exception(), format_exception_only(), and

The PyConfig_Read() function now only parses PyConfig.argv arguments
once: PyConfig.parse_argv is set to 2 after arguments are parsed.
Since Python arguments are strippped from PyConfig.argv, parsing
arguments twice would parse the application options as Python
options.

* Rework the PyConfig documentation.
* Fix _testinternalcapi.set_config() error handling.
* SetConfigTests no longer needs parse_argv=0 when restoring the old
  configuration.

* Rename config_as_dict() to _PyConfig_AsDict().
* Add 'module_search_paths_set' to _PyConfig_AsDict().
* Add _PyConfig_FromDict().
* Add get_config() and set_config() to _testinternalcapi.
* Add config_check_consistency().

Currently, a Mock object which is not unsafe will raise an
AttributeError if an attribute with the prefix assert or assret is
accessed on it. This protects against misspellings of real assert
method calls, which lead to tests passing silently even if the tested
code does not satisfy the intended assertion.

Recently a check was done in a large code base (Google) and three
more frequent ways of misspelling assert were found causing harm:
asert, aseert, assrt. These are now added to the existing check.

Also added versionchanged.
