If a globals dictionary without a '__builtins__' key is passed to
eval(), a '__builtins__' key will be inserted to the dictionary:
>>> eval("print('__builtins__' in globals())", {})
True
(As a result of this behavior, we can use the builtins
print() and globals() even if we passed a dictionary without a
'__builtins__' key to eval().)
os.readlink() now accepts path-like and bytes objects on Windows.
Previously, support for path-like and bytes objects was only
implemented on Unix.
This commit also merges Unix and Windows implementations of
os.readlink() in one function and adds basic unit tests to increase
test coverage of the function.
In the documentation, the `env` directory is specified when we execute
the `make venv` command. But in the code, `make venv` will create the
virtualenv inside the `venv` directory (defined by `VENVDIR`)
* bpo-34273: Change 'Fixed point' to 'Fixed-point notation'.
The change in the mini language floating point and decimal table
is consistent with 'Exponential notation' and clarifies that we
are referring to the output notation, not an object type.

In the documentation for the traceback module, the definitions of functions
extract_tb(), format_list() and classmethod StackSummary.from_list()
mention the old style 4-tuples that these functions used to return or accept.
Since Python 3.5, however, they return or accept a FrameSummary object
instead of a 4-tuple, or a StackSummary object instead of a list of 4-tuples.

ZipFile can zip files older than 1980-01-01 and newer than 2107-12-31 using
a new strict_timestamps parameter at the cost of setting the timestamp
to the limit.
* help(hashlib) didn't work because of incorrect module name in blake2b and
blake2s classes.
* Constructors blake2*(), sha3_*(), shake_*() and keccak_*() incorrectly
accepted keyword argument "string" for binary data, but documented as
accepting the "data" keyword argument. Now this parameter is positional-only.
* Keyword-only parameters in blake2b() and blake2s() were not documented as
keyword-only.
* Default value for some parameters of blake2b() and blake2s() was None,
which is not acceptable value.
* The length argument for shake_*.digest() was wrapped out to 32 bits.
* The argument for shake_128.digest() and shake_128.hexdigest() was not
positional-only as intended.
* TypeError messages for incorrect arguments in all constructors sha3_*(),
shake_*() and keccak_*() incorrectly referred to sha3_224.
Also made the following enhancements:
* More accurately specified input and result types for strings, bytes and
bytes-like objects.
* Unified positional parameter names for update() and constructors.
* Improved formatting.
Various asyncio internals expect that the default executor is a
`ThreadPoolExecutor`, so deprecate passing anything else to
`loop.set_default_executor()`.
Mathematically, bitwise operations on integers behave as if there were an
infinite number of sign bits. Pragmatically, that gives the same answer as
using one extra sign bit for the bitwise logical operations.
Also, update the list of exceptions that may raised by PyMarshal_*
functions. We usually don't document exceptions raised by a
function, but in this case most of them were already documented
in C API and standard library documentation.
