configitems: add `documentation` field It may be useful to expose documentation information in the help in some form. This will be populated in a future changeset by using the current comments that are relevant for users.

configitems: use standard "dynamicdefault" approach in edge case This makes for fewer edge cases, which will help a future patch.

configitems: fix typo in devel warning about extension overrides

extensions: imp module is removed in Python 3.12 - use importlib to load files imp has been deprecated for a long time, and has finally been removed in Python 3.12 . imp was only used for loading extensions that has been specified with direct .py path or path to a package directory. The same use cases can be achieved quite simple with importlib, , possiby with small changes in corner cases with undefined behaviour, such as extensions without .py source. There might also be corner cases and undefined behaviour around use of sys.modules and reloading.

utils: imp module is removed in Python 3.12 - get is_frozen() from _imp imp has been deprecated for a long time, and has finally been removed in Python 3.12 . The successor importlib is using the same internal _imp module as imp, but doesn't expose it's is_frozen. Using the internal function directly seems like the cleanest solution. Another alternative to imp.is_frozen("__main__") is sys.modules['__main__'].__spec__.origin == 'frozen' but that seems even more internal and fragile.

extensions: address ast deprecations introduced in Python 3.12 Tests would fail with: .../mercurial/extensions.py:910: DeprecationWarning: ast.Str is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.14; use ast.Constant instead if isinstance(a, ast.Str): .../mercurial/extensions.py:912: DeprecationWarning: ast.Bytes is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.14; use ast.Constant instead elif isinstance(a, ast.Bytes): .../mercurial/extensions.py:913: DeprecationWarning: Attribute s is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.14; use value instead name = a.s

vfs: handle shutil.rmtree deprecation of onerror in Python 3.12 Tests would fail with warnings: .../mercurial/vfs.py:289: DeprecationWarning: onerror argument is deprecated, use onexc instead The excinfo changed slightly, but we don't use it anyway.

tests: fix sortdict doctest with Python 3.12 The output of OrderedDict changed to use plain dict syntax: $ python3.11 -c "import collections;print(collections.OrderedDict([('a', 0), ('b', 1)]))" OrderedDict([('a', 0), ('b', 1)]) $ python3.12 -c "import collections;print(collections.OrderedDict([('a', 0), ('b', 1)]))" OrderedDict({'a': 0, 'b': 1})

utils: stop using datetime.utcfromtimestamp() deprecated in Python 3.12 Python3.12 made tests fail with warnings: DeprecationWarning: datetime.utcfromtimestamp() is deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future version. Use timezone-aware objects to represent datetimes in UTC: datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp, datetime.UTC). Computing the diff while in timestamp seconds seems to preserve to the original intent from ae04af1ce78d. It would be nice to have some doctest coverage of this, with the problematic corner cases that has popped up over time...
