* formatfloat() uses unicode_fromascii() instead of PyUnicode_DecodeASCII()
to not have to check characters, we know that it is really ASCII
* Use PyUnicode_FromOrdinal() instead of _PyUnicode_FromUCS4() to format
a character: if avoids a call to ucs4lib_find_max_char() to compute
the maximum character (whereas we already know it, it is just the character
itself)
* Remove _PyBytes_FormatLong(): inline it into formatlong()
* the input type is always a long, so remove the code for bool
* don't duplicate the string if the length does not change
* Use PyUnicode_DATA() instead of _PyUnicode_AsString()
* In debug mode, fill the string data with invalid characters
* Simplify also reference counting in PyCodec_BackslashReplaceErrors()
and PyCodec_XMLCharRefReplaceError()
This also alters the fix to #11603. Specifically, setting __repr__ to
object.__str__ now raises a recursion RuntimeError when str() or repr() is
called instead of silently bypassing the recursion. I believe this behavior is
more correct.
It is now possible to use a custom type for the __builtins__ namespace, instead
of a dict. It can be used for sandboxing for example. Raise also a NameError
instead of ImportError if __build_class__ name if not found in __builtins__.
importlib._bootstrap is now frozen into Python/importlib.h and stored
as _frozen_importlib in sys.modules. Py_Initialize() loads the frozen
code along with sys and imp and then uses _frozen_importlib._install()
to set builtins.__import__() w/ _frozen_importlib.__import__().
Currently import does not use these attributes as they are planned
for use by importlib (which will be another commit).
Thanks to Filip Gruszczyński for the initial patch and Brian Curtin
for refining it.
PyFloatObjects are now allocated using PyObject_MALLOC like all other
internal types, but maintain a limited freelist of objects at hand for
performance. This will result in more consistent memory usage by Python.
