Avoid copying unaligned 16-bit values since some platforms require them to be aligned. Use memcpy() instead to let the C compiler decide how to do it.

Make a helper function in a C++ test correctly propagate exceptions so that it won't have to spit out compiler warnings.

* Set "entry.qualified_name" for builtin types.
* Make sure we always have a correct "qualified_name" for all symtab Entry instances.

ALways mark the entry of generator expression functions as used. Because, why not, they probably are. And it avoids false warnings.

Don't access directly PyObject.ob_type and PyObject.ob_refcnt members.

Do not install Pythran in 0.29.x on travis since it is currently incompatible and unknown when it will work again.

Implement "gen.gi_frame" and "coro.cr_frame" attributes on generators and coroutines that return an inspectable (although otherwise dead) frame object.

The utility code was generated at too late a stage, after the utility code from the pxd was merged into the pyx scope.

Fixes #1415

* Use the same fallback as for missing PEP-393 support.
* Prepare for "PyUnicode_READY()" and "PyUnicode_WCHAR_KIND" to be removed in Py3.12.
  See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0623/
* Avoid C compiler warnings about deprecated C-API functions in Py3.9+.

Fix Python install script on appveyor: The URL path uses three digit Python versions, not just major.minor.

According to the docs, "/Od" is the default in MSVC, so in order to get it, it should be enough to clear CFLAGS.
Setting it generates warnings in Py3.9 on appveyor ("source file '"/Od"' ignored"), suggesting that the option is not recognised as such.

Remove "PYTHONHOME" setting from embed-test since it seems to break the I/O encoding setup in (at least) Py3.8+ venvs.

* Handle constant folding for LanguageLevel 2 on Python 3. Ensure that when StrNode is a BytesLiteral, that we don't coerce it to unicode.
* Add test for string multiplication bug. Needed to change the TreePath slightly to allow bytes-to-str comparison.

Remove incorrect dict unpacking optimisation that leaked external dict changes into the result (GH-4091)

Creating global CDEFS for holding compiler definitions. Then pass it to the distutils.

Also add .vscode folder to .gitignore

Fix optimised_pow2_inplace() doctest on Python 3.10 because the error message changed.

Python 3.9 error message:
    unsupported operand type(s) for ** or pow(): 'int' and 'str'

Python 3.10 error message:
    unsupported operand type(s) for **=: 'int' and 'str'

Re-disable third-party integration testing in Py2.6 entirely since most packages aren't compatible anymore (and I don't want to dig up the versions that are).
