** Description changed:

  Backport python 3.8.10 to focal (and groovy).
  
  Regression potential: ...
  
  Validation: Test results show no regressions, and the archive test
  rebuild doesn't show any regressions.
+ 
+ It's a minor upstream update, consisting of:
+ 
+ Security
+ --------
+ 
+ - bpo-43434: Creating a :class:`sqlite3.Connection` object now also produces
+   a ``sqlite3.connect`` :ref:`auditing event <auditing>`. Previously this
+   event was only produced by :func:`sqlite3.connect` calls. Patch by Erlend
+   E. Aasland.
+ 
+ - bpo-43882: The presence of newline or tab characters in parts of a URL
+   could allow some forms of attacks.
+ 
+   Following the controlling specification for URLs defined by WHATWG
+   :func:`urllib.parse` now removes ASCII newlines and tabs from URLs,
+   preventing such attacks.
+ 
+ - bpo-43472: Ensures interpreter-level audit hooks receive the
+   ``cpython.PyInterpreterState_New`` event when called through the
+   ``_xxsubinterpreters`` module.
+ 
+ - bpo-36384: :mod:`ipaddress` module no longer accepts any leading zeros in
+   IPv4 address strings. Leading zeros are ambiguous and interpreted as octal
+   notation by some libraries. For example the legacy function
+   :func:`socket.inet_aton` treats leading zeros as octal notatation. glibc
+   implementation of modern :func:`~socket.inet_pton` does not accept any
+   leading zeros. For a while the :mod:`ipaddress` module used to accept
+   ambiguous leading zeros.
+ 
+ - bpo-43075: Fix Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability
+   in :class:`urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler`.  The ReDoS-vulnerable
+   regex has quadratic worst-case complexity and it allows cause a denial of
+   service when identifying crafted invalid RFCs. This ReDoS issue is on the
+   client side and needs remote attackers to control the HTTP server.
+ 
+ - bpo-42800: Audit hooks are now fired for frame.f_code, traceback.tb_frame,
+   and generator code/frame attribute access.
+ 
+ Core and Builtins
+ -----------------
+ 
+ - bpo-43105: Importlib now resolves relative paths when creating module spec
+   objects from file locations.
+ 
+ - bpo-42924: Fix ``bytearray`` repetition incorrectly copying data from the
+   start of the buffer, even if the data is offset within the buffer (e.g.
+   after reassigning a slice at the start of the ``bytearray`` to a shorter
+   byte string).
+ 
+ Library
+ -------
+ 
+ - bpo-43993: Update bundled pip to 21.1.1.
+ 
+ - bpo-43937: Fixed the :mod:`turtle` module working with non-default root
+   window.
+ 
+ - bpo-43930: Update bundled pip to 21.1 and setuptools to 56.0.0
+ 
+ - bpo-43920: OpenSSL 3.0.0: :meth:`~ssl.SSLContext.load_verify_locations`
+   now returns a consistent error message when cadata contains no valid
+   certificate.
+ 
+ - bpo-43607: :mod:`urllib` can now convert Windows paths with ``\\?\``
+   prefixes into URL paths.
+ 
+ - bpo-43284: platform.win32_ver derives the windows version from
+   sys.getwindowsversion().platform_version which in turn derives the version
+   from kernel32.dll (which can be of a different version than Windows
+   itself). Therefore change the platform.win32_ver to determine the version
+   using the platform module's _syscmd_ver private function to return an
+   accurate version.
+ 
+ - bpo-42248: [Enum] ensure exceptions raised in ``_missing__`` are
+ released
+ 
+ - bpo-43799: OpenSSL 3.0.0: define ``OPENSSL_API_COMPAT`` 1.1.1 to suppress
+   deprecation warnings. Python requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 APIs.
+ 
+ - bpo-43794: Add :data:`ssl.OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF` constants (OpenSSL
+   3.0.0)
+ 
+ - bpo-43789: OpenSSL 3.0.0: Don't call the password callback function a
+   second time when first call has signaled an error condition.
+ 
+ - bpo-43788: The header files for :mod:`ssl` error codes are now OpenSSL
+   version-specific. Exceptions will now show correct reason and library
+   codes. The ``make_ssl_data.py`` script has been rewritten to use OpenSSL's
+   text file with error codes.
+ 
+ - bpo-43655: :mod:`tkinter` dialog windows are now recognized as dialogs by
+   window managers on macOS and X Window.
+ 
+ - bpo-43534: :func:`turtle.textinput` and :func:`turtle.numinput` create now
+   a transient window working on behalf of the canvas window.
+ 
+ - bpo-43522: Fix problem with
+   :attr:`~ssl.SSLContext.hostname_checks_common_name`. OpenSSL does not copy
+   hostflags from *struct SSL_CTX* to *struct SSL*.
+ 
+ - bpo-42967: Allow :class:`bytes` ``separator`` argument in
+   ``urllib.parse.parse_qs`` and ``urllib.parse.parse_qsl`` when parsing
+   :class:`str` query strings. Previously, this raised a ``TypeError``.
+ 
+ - bpo-43176: Fixed processing of a dataclass that inherits from a frozen
+   dataclass with no fields.  It is now correctly detected as an error.
+ 
+ - bpo-41735: Fix thread locks in zlib module may go wrong in rare case.
+   Patch by Ma Lin.
+ 
+ - bpo-36470: Fix dataclasses with ``InitVar``\s and
+   :func:`~dataclasses.replace()`. Patch by Claudiu Popa.
+ 
+ - bpo-32745: Fix a regression in the handling of ctypes'
+   :data:`ctypes.c_wchar_p` type: embedded null characters would cause a
+   :exc:`ValueError` to be raised. Patch by Zackery Spytz.
+ 
+ Documentation
+ -------------
+ 
+ - bpo-43959: The documentation on the PyContextVar C-API was clarified.
+ 
+ - bpo-43938: Update dataclasses documentation to express that
+   FrozenInstanceError is derived from AttributeError.
+ 
+ - bpo-43755: Update documentation to reflect that unparenthesized lambda
+   expressions can no longer be the expression part in an ``if`` clause in
+   comprehensions and generator expressions since Python 3.9.
+ 
+ - bpo-43739: Fixing the example code in Doc/extending/extending.rst to
+   declare and initialize the pmodule variable to be of the right type.
