Matej Cepl 9d574d767b - Update to the second development version of 3.14.0a2.
- Tools/Demos
    - gh-126807: Fix extraction warnings in pygettext.py caused
      by mistaking function definitions for function calls.
    - gh-126167: The iOS testbed was modified so that it can be
      used by third-party projects for testing purposes.

    - gh-126909: Fix test_os extended attribute tests to work on
      filesystems with 1 KiB xattr size limit.
    - gh-125730: Change make test to not run GUI tests by
      default. Use make ci to run tests with GUI tests instead.
    - gh-124295: Add translation tests to the argparse module.
  - Security

    - gh-126920: Fix the prefix and exec_prefix keys from
      sysconfig.get_config_vars() incorrectly having the same
      value as sys.base_prefix and sys.base_exec_prefix,
      respectively, inside virtual environments. They now
      accurately reflect sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix.
    - gh-67877: Fix memory leaks when regular expression matching
      terminates abruptly, either because of a signal or because
      memory allocation fails.

Python 3 in SUSE
==============
* Subpackages *
Python 3 is split into several subpackages, based on external dependencies.
The main package 'python3' has soft dependencies on all subpackages needed to
assemble the standard library; however, these might not all be installed by default.
If you attempt to import a module that is currently not installed, an ImportError is thrown,
with instructions to install the missing subpackage. Installing the subpackage might result
in installing libraries that the subpackage requires to function.
* ensurepip *
The 'ensurepip' module from Python 3 standard library (PEP 453) is supposed to deploy
a bundled copy of the pip installer. This makes no sense in a managed distribution like SUSE.
Instead, you need to install package 'python3-pip'. Usually this will be installed automatically
with 'python3'.
Using 'ensurepip' when pip is not installed will result in an ImportError with instructions
to install 'python3-pip'.
* Documentation *
You can find documentation in seprarate packages: python3-doc and
python3-doc-pdf. These contan following documents:
Tutorial, What's New in Python, Global Module Index, Library Reference,
Macintosh Module Reference, Installing Python Modules, Distributing Python
Modules, Language Reference, Extending and Embedding, Python/C API,
Documenting Python
The python3-doc package constains many text files from source tarball.
* Interactive mode *
Interactive mode is by default enhanced with of history and command completion.
If you don't like these features, you can unset the PYTHONSTARTUP variable
in your .profile or disable it system wide in /etc/profile.d/python.sh.
