WIP: Initialize locks in __new__().

(see issue #20) Locks need to be initialized before objects become available for mutation in Python. That means doing so in **new**(). A number of types current have tp_new set...

The faster-cpython project uses pyperformance to run benchmarks, which in turn uses pyperf, which optionally uses psutil. We run into problems when we try to benchmark CPython's main branch, since...

Sometimes it is helpful to look at an enabled unit file. I'd rather not go look up the file in /etc/systemd, etc., which is kind of the point of using...
