Replace the child process `typeperf.exe` with a daemon thread that reads the performance counters directly. This prevents the issues that arise from inherited handles in grandchild processes (see issue37531 for discussion).
We only use the load tracker when running tests in multiprocess mode. This prevents inadvertent interactions with tests expecting a single threaded environment. Displaying load is really only helpful for buildbots running in multiprocess mode anyway.
Remove the asyncore and asynchat modules, deprecated in Python
3.6: use the asyncio module instead.
Remove the smtpd module, deprecated in Python 3.6: the aiosmtpd
module can be used instead, it is based on asyncio.
* Remove asyncore, asynchat and smtpd documentation
* Remove test_asyncore, test_asynchat and test_smtpd
* Rename Lib/asynchat.py to Lib/test/support/_asynchat.py
* Rename Lib/asyncore.py to Lib/test/support/_asyncore.py
* Rename Lib/smtpd.py to Lib/test/support/_smtpd.py
* Remove DeprecationWarning from private _asyncore, _asynchat and
_smtpd modules
* _smtpd: remove deprecated properties
Remove the --findleaks command line option of regrtest: use the
--fail-env-changed option instead. Since Python 3.7, it was a
deprecated alias to the --fail-env-changed option.
support.print_warning() now stores the original value of
sys.__stderr__ and uses it to log warnings. libregrtest uses the same
stream to log unraisable exceptions and uncaught threading
exceptions.
Partially revert commit dbe213de7e:
libregrtest no longer replaces sys.__stdout__, sys.__stderr__, and
stdout and stderr file descriptors.
Remove also a few unused imports in libregrtest.
libregrtest -W/--verbose3 now also replace sys.__stdout__,
sys.__stderr__, and stdout and stderr file descriptors (fd 1 and fd
2).
support.print_warning() messages are now logged in the expected
order.
The "./python -m test test_eintr -W" command no longer logs into
stdout if the test pass.
When libregrtest spawns a worker process, stderr is now written into
stdout to keep messages order. Use a single pipe for stdout and
stderr, rather than two pipes. Previously, messages were out of order
which made analysis of buildbot logs harder
libregrtest now clears the type cache later to reduce the risk of
false alarm when checking for reference leaks. Previously, the type
cache was cleared too early and libregrtest raised a false alarm
about reference leaks under very specific conditions.
Move also support.gc_collect() outside clear/cleanup functions to
make the garbage collection more explicit.

* Move to a static argparse.Namespace subclass
* Roughly annotate runtest.py
* Refactor libregrtest to use lossless test result objects
* Only re-run test methods that match names of previously failing test methods
* Adopt tests to cover test method name matching

* Add co_firstinstr field to code object.
* Implement barebones quickening.
* Use non-quickened bytecode when tracing.
* Add NEWS item
* Add new file to Windows build.
* Don't specialize instructions with EXTENDED_ARG.
test.libregrtest now marks a test as ENV_CHANGED (altered the
execution environment) if a thread raises an exception but does not
catch it. It sets a hook on threading.excepthook. Use
--fail-env-changed option to mark the test as failed.
libregrtest regrtest_unraisable_hook() explicitly flushs
sys.stdout, sys.stderr and sys.__stderr__.
RegressionTestResult.USE_XML must now be set to True to get the JUnit
XML output.
Reduce the number of imports when --junit-xml=FILE option is not
used: 153 => 144 (-9).
Move clear_caches() from libregrtest.refleak to libregrtest.utils to
avoid importing libregrtest.refleak when it's not needed.
clear_caches() now only calls re.purge() if 're' is in sys.modules.
Reduce the number of modules imported by libregrtest.
saved_test_environment no longer imports modules at startup, but try
to get them from sys.modules. If an module is missing, skip the test.
It also sets directly support.environment_altered.
runtest() now now two saved_test_environment instances: one before
importing the test module, one after importing it.
Remove imports from test.libregrtest.save_env:
* asyncio
* logging
* multiprocessing
* shutil
* sysconfig
* urllib.request
* warnings
When a test method imports a module (ex: warnings) and the test
has a side effect (ex: add a warnings filter), the side effect is not
detected, because the module was not imported when Python
enters the saved_test_environment context manager.
test_repl.test_close_stdin() now calls
support.suppress_msvcrt_asserts() to fix the test on Windows.
* Move suppress_msvcrt_asserts() from test.libregrtest.setup to
test.support. Make its verbose parameter optional: verbose=False by
default.
* Add msvcrt.GetErrorMode().
* SuppressCrashReport now uses GetErrorMode() and SetErrorMode() of
the msvcrt module, rather than using ctypes.
* Remove also an unused variable (deadline) in wait_process().
Log "Warning -- ..." test warnings into sys.__stderr__ rather than
sys.stderr, to ensure to display them even if sys.stderr is captured.
test.libregrtest.utils.print_warning() now calls
test.support.print_warning().
When building Python in some uncommon platforms there are some known tests that will fail. Right now, the test suite has the ability to ignore entire tests using the -x option and to receive a filter file using the --matchfile filter. The problem with the --matchfile option is that it receives a file with patterns to accept and when you want to ignore a couple of tests and subtests, is too cumbersome to lists ALL tests that are not the ones that you want to accept and he problem with -x is that is not easy to ignore just a subtests that fail and the whole test needs to be ignored.
For these reasons, add a new option to allow to ignore a list of test and subtests for these situations.
test.regrtest now uses process groups in the multiprocessing mode
(-jN command line option) if process groups are available: if
os.setsid() and os.killpg() functions are available.
bpo-37531, bpo-38207: On timeout, regrtest no longer attempts to call
`popen.communicate() again: it can hang until all child processes
using stdout and stderr pipes completes. Kill the worker process and
ignores its output.
Reenable test_regrtest.test_multiprocessing_timeout().
bpo-37531: Change also the faulthandler timeout of the main process
from 1 minute to 5 minutes, for Python slowest buildbots.
