The "iterable iterable" phrasing created confusion between the term
reference and the parameter name.
This simplifies the phrasing to just use the parameter name
without linking directly to the term definition.
Partially clarify the subprocess convenience API documentation by
explicitly listing the `cwd` parameter in their abbreviated signatures.
While this has been merged as an improvement, it doesn't fully
resolve the issue, as the `cwd` should also be covered in the
"Frequently Used Arguments" section, and the fact these APIs
pass unlisted keyword arguments down to the lower level APIs
is currently still unclear.
The library does not enforce compliance with the HTTP protocol,
so violations are not technically disallowed. Extend the stream's
description to avoid suggesting that intentional protocol violations are
not supported.
* bpo-28707: call the constructor of SimpleHTTPRequestHandler in the test with a mock object
* bpo-28707: Add the directory parameter to http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler and http.server module
* Use explicit numbering for footnotes referred by explicit number.
* Restore missed footnote reference in stdtypes.rst.
* Fix literal strings formatting in howto/urllib2.rst.
* Update susp-ignored.csv for zipapp.rst.
* Fix suspicious mark up in Misc/NEWS.
Compiled regular expression objects with the re.LOCALE flag no longer
depend on the locale at compile time. Only the locale at matching
time affects the result of matching.
The AST_H_DIR variable was removed from Makefile.pre.in by the commit
a5c62a8e9f (bpo-23404).
AST_H_DIR was hardcoded to "Include", so replace the removed variable
by its content.
Remove also ASDLGEN variable from sysconfig example since this
variable was also removed.
* Fix PEP 8 (SomeType instead of some_type)
* Add a function parameter annotation
* Explain, using wording from PEP 484 and PEP 526,
why one annotation is in quotes and another is not.

Builtin container types have two potential link targets in the docs:
- their entry in the list of builtin callables
- their type documentation
This change brings `bytes` and `bytearray` into line with other
container types by having cross-references default to linking to
their type documentation, rather than their builtin callable entry.
