After Python finalization gets to the point where no other thread
can attach thread state, attempting to acquire a Python lock must hang.
Raise PythonFinalizationError instead of hanging.
If `Py_IsFinalizing()` is true, non-daemon threads (other than the current one)
are done, and daemon threads are prevented from running, so they
cannot finalize themselves and become done. Joining them (without timeout)
would block forever.
Raise PythonFinalizationError instead of hanging.
Raise even when a timeout is given, for consistency with trying to join your own thread.
See gh-123940 for a use case: calling `join()` from `__del__`. This is
ill-advised, but an exception should at least make it easier to diagnose.
Add PythonFinalizationError exception. This exception derived from
RuntimeError is raised when an operation is blocked during the Python
finalization.
The following functions now raise PythonFinalizationError, instead of
RuntimeError:
* _thread.start_new_thread()
* subprocess.Popen
* os.fork()
* os.fork1()
* os.forkpty()
Morever, _winapi.Overlapped finalizer now logs an unraisable
PythonFinalizationError, instead of an unraisable RuntimeError.
Change the somewhat vague "listed below" to "listed in this chapter" in Doc/library/exceptions.rst.
The exceptions are listed in multiple sections after two intermediate sections.

- On WASI `ENOTCAPABLE` is now mapped to `PermissionError`.
- The `errno` modules exposes the new error number.
- `getpath.py` now ignores `PermissionError` when it cannot open landmark
files `pybuilddir.txt` and `pyenv.cfg`.
Update documentation to note that in some circumstances,
KeyboardInterrupt may cause code to enter an inconsistent state. Also
document sample workaround to avoid KeyboardInterrupt, if needed.
1. SyntaxError args have a tuple of other attributes.
2. Attributes are adjusted for errors in f-string field expressions.
3. Compile() can raise SyntaxErrors.
Links for 'raise Exception from x' target to 'The raise statement' (7.8) section instead of 'The import statement' (7.11) section.
There are more modified links than in the bug report because I searched some other ones which can get the same improvement.
