This is the implementation of PEP683
Motivation:
The PR introduces the ability to immortalize instances in CPython which bypasses reference counting. Tagging objects as immortal allows up to skip certain operations when we know that the object will be around for the entire execution of the runtime.
Note that this by itself will bring a performance regression to the runtime due to the extra reference count checks. However, this brings the ability of having truly immutable objects that are useful in other contexts such as immutable data sharing between sub-interpreters.
Add a closure keyword-only parameter to exec(). It can only be specified when exec-ing a code object that uses free variables. When specified, it must be a tuple, with exactly the number of cell variables referenced by the code object. closure has a default value of None, and it must be None if the code object doesn't refer to any free variables.
Use common error message for non-string attribute name in the builtin
functions getattr and hasattr.
The special check no longer needed since Python 3.0.
Skip test_builtin PTY tests on non-ASCII characters if the readline
module is loaded. The readline module changes input() behavior, but
test_builtin is not intented to test the readline module.
When the readline module is loaded, PyOS_Readline() uses the readline
implementation. In some cases, the Python readline callback
rlhandler() is called by readline with a string without non-ASCII
characters.
Several built-in and standard library types now ensure that their internal result tuples are always tracked by the garbage collector:
- collections.OrderedDict.items
- dict.items
- enumerate
- functools.reduce
- itertools.combinations
- itertools.combinations_with_replacement
- itertools.permutations
- itertools.product
- itertools.zip_longest
- zip
Previously, they could have become untracked by a prior garbage collection.
zip() now supports PEP 618's strict parameter, which raises a
ValueError if the arguments are exhausted at different lengths.

test_builtin.PtyTests now registers an handler for SIGHUP signal.
Closing the PTY file descriptor can emit a SIGHUP signal: just ignore
it.
run_child() now also closes the PTY file descriptor before waiting
for the process completition, otherwise the test hangs on AIX.
Moreover, the following tests now check the child process exit code:
* test_os.PtyTests
* test_mailbox.test_lock_conflict()
* test_tempfile.test_process_awareness()
* test_uuid.testIssue8621()
* multiprocessing resource tracker tests
Relative imports use resolve_name to get the absolute target name,
which first seeks the current module's absolute package name from the globals:
If __package__ (and __spec__.parent) are missing then
import uses __name__, truncating the last segment if
the module is a submodule rather than a package __init__.py
(which it guesses from whether __path__ is defined).
The __name__ attempt should fail if there is no parent package (top level modules),
if __name__ is '__main__' (-m entry points), or both (scripts).
That is, if both __name__ has no subcomponents and the module does not seem
to be a package __init__ module then import should fail.
* Use the 'p' format unit instead of manually called PyObject_IsTrue().
* Pass boolean value instead 0/1 integers to functions that needs boolean.
* Convert some arguments to boolean only once.
