Miss Islington (bot) 3eaa6f9d18 bpo-42589: Change URL for 'from' link when used in a raised exception (GH-23872)
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.

Victor Stinner 8f88190af5 [3.9] bpo-40204: Allow pre-Sphinx 3 syntax in the doc (GH-21844) (GH-21901)
* bpo-40204: Allow pre-Sphinx 3 syntax in the doc (GH-21844)

Enable Sphinx 3.2 "c_allow_pre_v3" option and disable the
c_warn_on_allowed_pre_v3 option to make the documentation compatible
with Sphinx 2 and Sphinx 3.

(cherry picked from commit 423e77d6de)

* bpo-40204: Fix Sphinx sytanx in howto/instrumentation.rst (GH-21858)

Use generic '.. object::' to declare markers, rather than abusing
'..  c:function::' which fails on Sphinx 3.

(cherry picked from commit 43577c01a2)

* bpo-40204: Fix duplicates in the documentation (GH-21857)

Fix two Sphinx 3 issues:

Doc/c-api/buffer.rst:304: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'c-api/buffer'.
Declaration is 'PyBUF_ND'.

Doc/c-api/unicode.rst:1603: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'c-api/unicode'.
Declaration is 'PyObject* PyUnicode_Translate(PyObject *str, PyObject *table, const char *errors)'.

(cherry picked from commit 46d10b1237)

* bpo-40204: Add :noindex: in the documentation (GH-21859)

Add :noindex: to duplicated documentation to fix "duplicate object
description" errors.

For example, fix this Sphinx 3 issue:

Doc/library/configparser.rst:1146: WARNING: duplicate object
description of configparser.ConfigParser.optionxform, other instance
in library/configparser, use :noindex: for one of them

(cherry picked from commit d3ded08048)

* bpo-40204, doc: Fix syntax of C variables (GH-21846)

For example, fix the following Sphinx 3 errors:

Doc/c-api/buffer.rst:102: WARNING: Error in declarator or parameters
Invalid C declaration: Expected identifier in nested name. [error at 5]
  void \*obj
  -----^

Doc/c-api/arg.rst:130: WARNING: Unparseable C cross-reference: 'PyObject*'
Invalid C declaration: Expected end of definition. [error at 8]
  PyObject*
  --------^

The modified documentation is compatible with Sphinx 2 and Sphinx 3.

(cherry picked from commit 474652fe93)

* bpo-40204: Fix reference to terms in the doc (GH-21865)

Sphinx 3 requires to refer to terms with the exact case.

For example, fix the Sphinx 3 warning:

Doc/library/pkgutil.rst:71: WARNING: term Loader not found in case
sensitive match.made a reference to loader instead.

(cherry picked from commit bb0b08540c)

* bpo-40204: Fix duplicated productionlist names in the doc (GH-21900)

Sphinx 3 disallows having more than one productionlist markup with
the same name. Simply remove names in this case, since names are not
shown anyway. For example, fix the Sphinx 3 warning:

Doc/reference/introduction.rst:96: duplicate token description
of *:name, other instance in reference/expressions

Kyle Stanley ff603f6c3d bpo-37635: Update arg name for seek() in IO tutorial (GH-16147)
Typically, the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is *whence*. That is the POSIX standard name (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/lseek.3p.html) and the name listed in the documentation for ``io`` module (https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase.seek). 

The tutorial for IO is the only location where the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is referred to as *from_what*. I suspect this was created at an early point in Python's history, and was never updated (as this section predates the GitHub repository):

```
$ git grep "from_what"
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:To change the file object's position, use ``f.seek(offset, from_what)``.  The position is computed
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the *from_what* argument.  A *from_what* value of 0 measures from the beginning
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the reference point.  *from_what* can be omitted and defaults to 0, using the
```

For consistency, I am suggesting that the tutorial be updated to use the same argument name as the IO documentation and POSIX standard for ``seek()``, particularly since this is the only location where *from_what* is being used.

Note: In the POSIX standard, *whence* is technically the third positional argument, but the first argument *fildes* (file descriptor) is implicit in Python.
