PyImport_ImportModuleLevel() with a 'level' of 0 instead of -1 as the
latter is no longer a valid value.
Also added a versionchanged note for PyImport_ImportModuleLevel() just
in case people don't make the connection between changes to
__import__() and this C function.
Fix also its value on Windows and Linux according to its documentation:
"adjustable" indicates if the clock *can be* adjusted, not if it is or was
adjusted.
In most cases, it is not possible to indicate if a clock is or was adjusted.
* Formatting string, int, float and complex use the _PyUnicodeWriter API. It
avoids a temporary buffer in most cases.
* Add _PyUnicodeWriter_WriteStr() to restore the PyAccu optimization: just
keep a reference to the string if the output is only composed of one string
* Disable overallocation when formatting the last argument of str%args and
str.format(args)
* Overallocation allocates at least 100 characters: add min_length attribute
to the _PyUnicodeWriter structure
* Add new private functions: _PyUnicode_FastCopyCharacters(),
_PyUnicode_FastFill() and _PyUnicode_FromASCII()
The speed up is around 20% in average.
Removed futimens as it is now redundant.
Changed shutil.copystat to use st_atime_ns and st_mtime_ns from os.stat
and ns= parameter to utime--it once again preserves exact metadata on Linux!
* Rename time.steady() to time.monotonic()
* On Windows, time.monotonic() uses GetTickCount/GetTickCount64() instead of
QueryPerformanceCounter()
* time.monotonic() uses CLOCK_HIGHRES if available
* Add time.get_clock_info(), time.perf_counter() and time.process_time()
functions
* 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()
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__().
