We are going to significantly extend py-strings related functionality soon
- to the point where amount of strings related code will be
approximately the same compared to the amount of all other
python-related code inside golang module.

-> First move everything related to py strings to dedicated
_golang_str.pyx as a preparatory step.

Keep that new file included from _golang.pyx instead of being real new
module, because we want strings functionality to be provided by golang
main namespace itself, and to ease internal code interdependencies.

Plain code movement.

Add convenient utility to read whole file and return its content
similarly to Go. The code is taken from wendelin.core:

Provide os/signal package that can be used to setup signal delivery to nogil
channels. This way for user code signal handling becomes regular handling of a
signalling channel instead of being something special or limited to only-main
python thread. The rationale for why we need it is explained below:

There are several problems with regular python's stdlib signal module:

1. Python2 does not call signal handler from under blocked lock.acquire.
   This means that if the main thread is blocked waiting on a semaphore,
   signal delivery will be delayed indefinitely, similarly to e.g. problem
   described in nexedi/nxdtest!14 (comment 147527)
   where raising KeyboardInterrupt is delayed after SIGINT for many,
   potentially unbounded, seconds until ~semaphore wait finishes.

   Note that Python3 does not have this problem wrt stdlib locks and
   semaphores, but read below for the next point.

2. all pygolang communication operations (channels send/recv, sync.Mutex,
   sync.RWMutex, sync.Sema, sync.WaitGroup, sync.WorkGroup, ...) run with
   GIL released, but if blocked do not handle EINTR and do not schedule
   python signal handler to run (on main thread).

   Even if we could theoretically adjust this behaviour of pygolang at python
   level to match Python3, there are also C++ and pyx/nogil worlds. And we want gil
   and nogil worlds to interoperate (see https://pypi.org/project/pygolang/#cython-nogil-api),
   so that e.g. if completely nogil code happens to run on the main thread,
   signal handling is still possible, even if that signal handling was setup at
   python level.

With signals delivered to nogil channels both nogil world and python
world can setup signal handlers and to be notified of them irregardles
of whether main python thread is currently blocked in nogil wait or not.

Provide C++ package "os" with File, Pipe, etc similarly to what is
provided on Go side. The package works through IO methods provided by
runtimes.

We need IO facility because os/signal package will need to use
pipe in cooperative IO mode in its receiving-loop goroutine.

os.h and os.cpp are based on drafts from wendelin.core:

Else as https://github.com/python-greenlet/greenlet/pull/285
demonstrates there can be segmentation faults and crashes due to
exceptions from one greenlet propagating to C stack of another greenlet.

No test here. I've tried to do it, but with gevent (contrary to plain
greenlets), spawning new task only schedules corresponding greenlet to
run in the end of current event loop cycle instead of switching to
created greenlet immediately. With this delaying, it was hard for me to
develop corresponding test in a reasonable time.

Hopefully having the test I've done for greenlet itself + hereby
protection is good enough.

Fix it.
Amends e205dbf6 (gpython: Implement -i (interactive inspect after program run) + promised interactive-mode tests)

When _BaseCtx is setting up cancel propagation it locks a parent,
checks for parent.err != nil, and, if it is, calls
ctx._cancel(parent.err) _with_ _holding_ parent.mu. Since _cancel
internally also goes through parents and locks them, this was deadlocking
on the second call to parent.mu.lock().

-> Fix it by calling ctx._cancel(err) in the constructor outside of
parent lock.

The bug was there from the beginning - from e9567c7b (context: New
package that mirrors Go's context).

- _propagateCancel is used only in _BaseCtx constructor -> inline it
  there. Being run in the constructor makes it clear that this code
  works on new _BaseCtx object with empty set of children.

- since _cancelFrom interacts with the code moved from _propagateCancel,
  also move it to be close to cancel propagation setup.

-> Fix it:

- amend the test to conditionally prefix golang_test_defer_excchain.py
  in expected output with PYGOLANG/golang/testprog/ if it is Python >= 3.9.
- amend `gpython file` to match behaviour of underlying `python file`,
  so that the test passes unconditionally whether it is run by python or

@jerome also says (!13 (comment 122826)):

FYI, buildout (and many zope packages) essentially use doctests for
testing and they had to deal with similar differences in output.
`zope.testing` comes with a doctest checker named "renormalizing" which
normalize output with regular expressions, see for example setup of some
buildout test [here](https://github.com/buildout/buildout/blob/db3d6e2fbf5d7ff2cc4b2507253c7a221cfc3e32/src/zc/buildout/tests.py#L3615-L3651).
We definitely don't need this here for the moment, but maybe one day it

So that it becomes possible to write

instead of

    wg = WorkGroup(ctx)
    defer(wg.wait)
    wg.go(f1)
    wg.go(f2)

or

    wg = WorkGroup(ctx)
    wg.go(f1)
    wg.go(f2)
    wg.wait()

This is sometimes handy and is referred to as "structured concurrency"
in Python world.

sync.Sema, sync.Mutex, sync.RWMutex already support "with".
sync.WaitGroup is imho too low-level, but we might consider adding
"with" support for it in the future as well.

In general pygolang way is to use defer instead of plugging all classes
with __enter__/__exit__ "with" support, but for small well-known class of
concurrency-related things its seems "with" support is worth it:

- having "with" for sync.Mutex+co allows it to be used as a drop-in
  replacement instead of threading.Lock+co, and
- having "with" for sync.WorkGroup - the most commonly-used tool to
  spawn jobs and wait for their completion - makes it on-par with
  "structured concurrency".

- Teach gpython and pymain about `-`;
- Teach gpython and pymain about -O;
- Teach pymain to always set sys.executable, so that subprocess and multiprocessing work correctly out of the box;
- Fix ./bin/gpython crash;
- Rewrite options parsing via incremental getopt-like thing.

Reported by @jerome here:
slapos!862 (comment 121738)

Let's teach gpython and pymain about -O because buildout calls `python -O`
to byte-compile python sources in optimized mode:

slapos!862 (comment 121470)

When seeing -O, we take the approach to reexecute underlying python with
-O, so that e.g.

	gpython -O file.py

becomes executed as

	python -O gpython file.py

This ensures correctness. The same approach could be used to implement
support for e.g. -S and other low-level options.

An earlier attempt to implement -O without reexecution can be seen at

!7

together with list of problems that arise via that way.

Original idea to reexecute itself come from @jerome.
