summary:

[3.10] Remove misformatted exclamation marks in docs (GH-102694) (#102717)

Remove the exclamation mark from :program:`!foo` in .rst files because
it inadvertently shows up in the rendered HTML.

(Sphinx's cross-referencing roles use a '!' prefix to suppress
hyperlinking[1], but :program: is not a cross-referencing role so the
'!' is displayed verbatim.)

The exclamation marks in venv.rst were introduced in #98350. See
comments [2] and [3] for additional discussion.
