Other CPython Implementation Changes
====================================
* Special methods :meth:`complex.__complex__` and :meth:`bytes.__bytes__` are implemented to
support :class:`typing.SupportsComplex` and :class:`typing.SupportsBytes` protocols.
* The special methods :meth:`~object.__complex__` for :class:`complex`
and :meth:`~object.__bytes__` for :class:`bytes` are implemented to support
the :class:`typing.SupportsComplex` and :class:`typing.SupportsBytes` protocols.

* ``siphash13`` is added as a new internal hashing algorithms. It has similar security
properties as ``siphash24`` but it is slightly faster for long inputs. ``str``, ``bytes``,
and some other types now use it as default algorithm for :func:`hash`. :pep:`552`
hash-based pyc files now use ``siphash13``, too.

* The interpreter state's representation of handled exceptions (a.k.a exc_info, or
_PyErr_StackItem) now has only the ``exc_value`` field, ``exc_type`` and ``exc_traceback``
have been removed as their values can be derived from ``exc_value``.

It behaves similiar to ``PrependPath`` but appends the install and scripts directories
instead of prepending them.

initialization to use :c:member:`PyConfig.module_search_paths` to initialize
:data:`sys.path`. Otherwise, initialization will recalculate the path and replace
any values added to ``module_search_paths``.

columns. Information about :ref:`Python environment variables <using-on-envvars>`
and :option:`-X options <-X>` is available with the new :option:`--help-env` or
:option:`--help-xoptions` flags, and with :option:`--help-all`.
