Nobody has been using a Sun machine for a long time. When I saw
this sentence in a lightning talk just now, I thought it was talking
about sending Python code on a spacecraft.
Various test bots (outside the ones GH normally runs) are timing out during test_int after ecd8664 (asymptotically faster str->int). Best guess is that they don't build the C _decimal module. So require that module in the most likely tests to time out then. Flying mostly blind, though!
Asymptotically faster (O(n log n)) str->int for very large strings, leveraging the faster multiplication scheme in the C-coded `_decimal` when available. This is used instead of the current Karatsuba-limited method starting at 2 million digits.
Lots of opportunity remains for fine-tuning. Good targets include changing BYTELIM, and possibly changing the internal output base (from 256 to a higher number of bytes).
Doing this was substantial work, and many of the new lines are actually comments giving correctness proofs. The obvious approaches sticking to integers were too slow to be useful, so this is doing variable-precision decimal floating-point arithmetic. Much faster, but worst-possible rounding errors have to be wholly accounted for, using as little precision as possible.
Special thanks to Serhiy Storchaka for asking many good questions in his code reviews!

I honestly forgot this slipped into 3.13, but I think it's worth highlighting more, as it is a PEP-sized change that makes the type system significantly more powerful.
@Yhg1s I think it's also worth mentioning in your release announcements.
Suppress all `OSError` exceptions from `pathlib.Path.exists()` and `is_*()`
rather than a selection of more common errors as we do presently. Also
adjust the implementations to call `os.path.exists()` etc, which are much
faster on Windows thanks to GH-101196.
Follow-up of gh-101693. The previous DeprecationWarning is replaced with
raising sqlite3.ProgrammingError.

* Fix `test_strptime` raises a DeprecationWarning
* Ignore deprecation warnings where appropriate.
* Update Lib/test/datetimetester.py
This is follow on work to silence unnecessary warnings from the test suite that changes for https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/70647 added.
