Message 372499 - Python tracker

Belatedly clearing the issue assignment here - while I do still sometimes ponder this problem, I haven't been actively working on it since the 2017 core sprint where Greg & I made our last serious attempt at trying to improve the situation.

Mark's PR at https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/18334 looks very promising to me, though - my main request was just to bring over the tests I wrote at the 2017 core dev sprints, and confirm that the revised eval breaker logic solves the issue.
