For reasons I don't understand, https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/22229 failed to backport to 3.9. The message says:
Sorry @eamanu https://github.com/eamanu, I had trouble checking out the |3.9| backport branch. Please backport using cherry_picker https://pypi.org/project/cherry-picker/ on command line.
This particular failure seems to be very low probability random. Perhaps a timing issue. I believe I usually re-add backport label (removing first if needed).
Thanks, Terry. That's a better plan than trying cherry_picker manually.
There are other soft backport failures that can be retried. 'Merge conflict' is a definite failure needing manual resolution.
