[New-bugs-announce] [issue32880] IDLE: Fix and update and cleanup pyparse

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu>:

Pyparse was mostly written in the early 2000s, with the only one code change since 2007 in 2014. #32874 will add tests for pyparse 'as is' (though with some docstring and comment changes).  This issue will change pyparse code, and change or add test as needed.

Here are two items to fix.  More will be added.  Some fixes might be separate PRs or spun off into separate issues.

def dump: dump this; print does the same, without hardcoding sys.__stdout__, which might be None.

_synchre: Only used in find_good_parse_start. Missing 'if' (mentioned in function docstring as 'popular' and 'for' and new things like 'with'. 'async' and 'await' are not generally popular, but is not any statement beginning a good parse start?
