A clean run of the configure script can take a while. Using configure cache (`./configure -C`) can help speed up edit-configure-build-test iterations considerably. Consider adding a sentence or two about...
**Describe the enhancement or feature you'd like** The documentation for the `dis` module provide a summary of what each opcode does. However, the summary is not enough to fully understand...
As discussed in other issues (e.g. #1044 ) and PRs (e.g. #989 ), it would be nice to complete the migration of any not-already-covered relevant portions of Victor Stinner's [CPython...
The [status key](https://devguide.python.org/versions/#status-key) for branches has lists of changes that can go in, and the lists look exclusive: > feature: > - new features, bugfixes, and security fixes are accepted....
This was recently the source of confusion that led to a sequence of PRs and reverts that caused a documentation regression, e.g. see https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/100546 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/98340 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/91485 and some of the...

This is a follow-up of #984: > There are a few broken links that I haven't touched yet: > > (developer-workflow/grammar: line 40) broken https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Include/Python-ast.h > > (developer-workflow/grammar: line 33)...
