This should have been labeled as "DO-NOT-MERGE" until #121086 was merged. There are conflicts anyway now.

It was needed to avoid emitting a warning for partialmethod(partial(...)), even if the final behavior is not changed.

Hi! The buildbot AMD64 Ubuntu NoGIL Refleaks 3.x has failed when building commit ff5806c.

What do you need to do:

1. Don't panic.

3. Go to the page of the buildbot that failed (https://buildbot.python.org/all/#builders/1226/builds/2167) and take a look at the build logs.
4. Check if the failure is related to this commit (ff5806c) or if it is a false positive.
5. If the failure is related to this commit, please, reflect that on the issue and make a new Pull Request with a fix.

You can take a look at the buildbot page here:

May I ask why this change was considered critical enough to not follow PEP 387?

It is clearly backwards incompatible and is in fact breaking code, see lark-parser/lark#1480 .
