are updated in order to prevent collision with compiler flags. Previously
``PyCF_ALLOW_TOP_LEVEL_AWAIT`` was clashing with ``CO_FUTURE_DIVISION``.

Notable changes in Python 3.8.9
===============================

A security fix alters the :class:`ftplib.FTP` behavior to not trust the
IPv4 address sent from the remote server when setting up a passive data
channel. We reuse the ftp servers IP address instead. For unusual code
requiring the old behavior, set a ``trust_server_pasv_ipv4_address``
attribute on your FTP instance to ``True``. (See :issue:`43285`)
