They are alternate constructors which only accept numbers
(including objects with special methods __float__, __complex__
and __index__), but not strings.
Add `pathlib.Path.copytree()` method, which recursively copies one
directory to another.
This differs from `shutil.copytree()` in the following respects:
1. Our method has a *follow_symlinks* argument, whereas shutil's has a
*symlinks* argument with an inverted meaning.
2. Our method lacks something like a *copy_function* argument. It always
uses `Path.copy()` to copy files.
3. Our method lacks something like a *ignore_dangling_symlinks* argument.
Instead, users can filter out danging symlinks with *ignore*, or
ignore exceptions with *on_error*
4. Our *ignore* argument is a callable that accepts a single path object,
whereas shutil's accepts a path and a list of child filenames.
5. We add an *on_error* argument, which is a callable that accepts
an `OSError` instance. (`Path.walk()` also accepts such a callable).

Add a `Path.copy()` method that copies the content of one file to another.
This method is similar to `shutil.copyfile()` but differs in the following ways:
- Uses `fcntl.FICLONE` where available (see GH-81338)
- Uses `os.copy_file_range` where available (see GH-81340)
- Uses `_winapi.CopyFile2` where available, even though this copies more metadata than the other implementations. This makes `WindowsPath.copy()` more similar to `shutil.copy2()`.
The method is presently _less_ specified than the `shutil` functions to allow OS-specific optimizations that might copy more or less metadata.
Incorporates code from GH-81338 and GH-93152.

Adjust DeprecationWarning when testing element truth values in ElementTree, we're planning to go with the more natural True return rather than a disruptive harder to code around exception raise, and are deferring the behavior change for a few more releases.
Remove the delegation of `int` to the `__trunc__` special method: `int` will now only delegate to `__int__` and `__index__` (in that order). `__trunc__` continues to exist, but its sole purpose is to support `math.trunc`.

PEP 667's description of the planned changes to PyEval_GetLocals
was internally inconsistent when accepted, so the docs added for
gh-74929 didn't match either the current behaviour or the intended
behaviour once gh-118934 is fixed.
This PR updates the documentation and 3.13 What's New to match the
intended behaviour (once gh-118934 is fixed).
It also tidies up lingering references to `f_locals` always being a
dictionary (this hasn't been true since at least when custom
namespace support for class statement execution was added)
* Add docs for new APIs
* Add soft-deprecation notices
* Add What's New porting entries
* Update comments referencing `PyFrame_LocalsToFast()` to mention the proxy instead
* Other related cleanups found when looking for refs to the deprecated APIs
* Passing a string as the "real" keyword argument is now an error;
it should only be passed as a single positional argument.
* Passing a complex number as the "real" or "imag" argument is now deprecated;
it should only be passed as a single positional argument.

* bpo-15987: Implement ast.compare
Add a compare() function that compares two ASTs for structural equality. There are two set of attributes on AST node objects, fields and attributes. The fields are always compared, since they represent the actual structure of the code. The attributes can be optionally be included in the comparison. Attributes capture things like line numbers of column offsets, so comparing them involves test whether the layout of the program text is the same. Since whitespace seems inessential for comparing ASTs, the default is to compare fields but not attributes.
ASTs are just Python objects that can be modified in arbitrary ways. The API for ASTs is under-specified in the presence of user modifications to objects. The comparison respects modifications to fields and attributes, and to _fields and _attributes attributes. A user could create obviously malformed objects, and the code will probably fail with an AttributeError when that happens. (For example, adding "spam" to _fields but not adding a "spam" attribute to the object.)
