Mostly we unify the two different implementations of the conversion code (from PyObject * to int64_t. We also drop the PyArg_ParseTuple()-style converter function, as well as rename and move PyInterpreterID_LookUp().
This changes the free-threaded build to perform a stop-the-world pause
before deleting other thread states when forking and during shutdown.
This fixes some crashes when using multiprocessing and during shutdown
when running with `PYTHON_GIL=0`.
This also changes `PyOS_BeforeFork` to acquire the runtime lock
(i.e., `HEAD_LOCK(&_PyRuntime)`) before forking to ensure that data
protected by the runtime lock (and not just the GIL or stop-the-world)
is in a consistent state before forking.
* Ensure importlib.metadata tests do not leak references in sys.modules.
* Move importlib.metadata tests to their own package for easier syncing with importlib_metadata.
* Update owners and makefile for new directories.
* Add blurb
Before this change, ctypes classes used a custom dict subclass, `StgDict`,
as their `tp_dict`. This acts like a regular dict but also includes extra information
about the type.
This replaces stgdict by `StgInfo`, a C struct on the type, accessed by
`PyObject_GetTypeData()` (PEP-697).
All usage of `StgDict` (mainly variables named `stgdict`, `dict`, `edict` etc.) is
converted to `StgInfo` (named `stginfo`, `info`, `einfo`, etc.).
Where the dict is actually used for class attributes (as a regular PyDict), it's now
called `attrdict`.
This change -- not overriding `tp_dict` -- is made to make me comfortable with
the next part of this PR: moving the initialization logic from `tp_new` to `tp_init`.
The `StgInfo` is set up in `__init__` of each class, with a guard that prevents
calling `__init__` more than once. Note that abstract classes (like `Array` or
`Structure`) are created using `PyType_FromMetaclass` and do not have
`__init__` called.
Previously, this was done in `__new__`, which also wasn't called for abstract
classes.
Since `__init__` can be called from Python code or skipped, there is a tested
guard to ensure `StgInfo` is initialized exactly once before it's used.

These writes to `pending->calls_to_do` need to be atomic, because other threads
can read (atomically) from `calls_to_do` without holding `pending->mutex`.
Starting in Python 3.12, we prevented calling fork() and starting new threads
during interpreter finalization (shutdown). This has led to a number of
regressions and flaky tests. We should not prevent starting new threads
(or `fork()`) until all non-daemon threads exit and finalization starts in
earnest.
This changes the checks to use `_PyInterpreterState_GetFinalizing(interp)`,
which is set immediately before terminating non-daemon threads.

* Split long.c tests of _testcapi into two parts: limited C API tests
in _testlimitedcapi and non-limited C API tests in _testcapi.
* Move testcapi_long.h from Modules/_testcapi/ to
Modules/_testlimitedcapi/.
* Add MODULE__TESTLIMITEDCAPI_DEPS to Makefile.pre.in.
On Windows in release mode, the test_cext and test_cppext can now
build C and C++ extensions.
* test_cext now also builds the C extension without options.
* test_cppext now also builds the C++ extension without options.
* Add C++14 test to test_cppext; C++11 is not supported by MSVC.
* Make setup_venv_with_pip_setuptools_wheel() quiet when
support.verbose is false. Only show stdout and stderr on failure.
Split unicode.c tests of _testcapi into two parts: limited C API
tests in _testlimitedcapi and non-limited C API tests in _testcapi.
Update test_codecs.
Split abstract.c and float.c tests of _testcapi into two parts:
limited C API tests in _testlimitedcapi and non-limited C API tests
in _testcapi.
Update test_bytes and test_class.
If you catch DuplicateOptionError / DuplicateSectionError when reading a
config file (the intention is to skip invalid config files) and then
attempt to use the ConfigParser instance, any values it *had* read
successfully so far, were stored as a list instead of string! Later
`get` calls would raise "AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute
'find'" from somewhere deep in the interpolation code.
