When Python is embedded in other applications, it is not easy to determine which version of Python is being used. This change exposes the Python version as part of the API data. Tools like Austin (https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin) can benefit from this data when targeting applications like uWSGI, as the Python version can then be inferred systematically by looking at the exported symbols rather than relying on unreliable pattern matching or other hacks (like remote code execution etc...).

Py_FrozenMain was added to the Limited C API in [bpo-42591]() (3.10.0a4);
but to fix that issue it would be enough to add it to the regular C API.
The function is undocumented, tests were added very recently ([bpo-44131]()),
and most importantly, it is not present in all builds of Python, as
the linker sometimes omits it as unused.
It should be added back when these issues are fixed.
Note that this does not affect Python's regular C API.
Deprecate the following functions to configure the Python
initialization:
* PySys_AddWarnOption()
* PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
* PySys_AddXOption()
* PySys_HasWarnOptions()
* Py_SetPath()
* Py_SetProgramName()
* Py_SetPythonHome()
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Use the new PyConfig API of the Python Initialization Configuration
instead (PEP 587).
Export the Py_FrozenMain() function: fix a Python 3.9.0 regression.
Python 3.9 uses -fvisibility=hidden and the function was not exported
explicitly and so not exported.
Add also Py_FrozenMain to the stable ABI on Windows.
test_embed.InitConfigTests tests more configuration variables.
Changes:
* InitConfigTests tests more core configuration variables:
* base_exec_prefix
* base_prefix
* exec_prefix
* home
* legacy_windows_fs_encoding
* legacy_windows_stdio
* module_search_path_env
* prefix
* "_testembed init_from_config" tests more variables:
* argv
* warnoptions
* xoptions
* InitConfigTests: add check_global_config(), check_core_config() and
check_main_config() subfunctions to cleanup the code. Move also
constants at the class level (ex: COPY_MAIN_CONFIG).
* Fix _PyCoreConfig_AsDict(): don't set stdio_encoding twice
* Use more macros in _PyCoreConfig_AsDict() and
_PyMainInterpreterConfig_AsDict() to reduce code duplication.
* Other minor cleanups.
* Fix _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Copy():
copy 'install_signal_handlers' attribute
* Add _PyMainInterpreterConfig_AsDict()
* Add unit tests on the main interpreter configuration
to test_embed.InitConfigTests
* test.pythoninfo: log also main_config
* And pycore_lifecycle.h and pycore_pathconfig.h headers to
Include/internal/
* Move Py_BUILD_CORE specific code from coreconfig.h and
pylifecycle.h to pycore_pathconfig.h and pycore_lifecycle.h
* Move _Py_wstrlist_XXX() definitions and _PyPathConfig code
from pycore_state.h to pycore_pathconfig.h
* Move "Init" and "Fini" function definitions from pylifecycle.c to
pycore_lifecycle.h.
* Revert "bpo-34589: Add -X coerce_c_locale command line option (GH-9378)"
This reverts commit dbdee0073c.
* Revert "bpo-34589: C locale coercion off by default (GH-9073)"
This reverts commit 7a0791b699.
* Revert "bpo-34589: Make _PyCoreConfig.coerce_c_locale private (GH-9371)"
This reverts commit 188ebfa475.
Py_Initialize() and Py_Main() cannot enable the C locale coercion
(PEP 538) anymore: it is always disabled. It can now only be enabled
by the Python program ("python3).
test_embed: get_filesystem_encoding() doesn't have to set PYTHONUTF8
nor PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE, these variables are already set in the
parent.
Use the core configuration of the interpreter, rather
than using global configuration variables. For example, replace
Py_QuietFlag with core_config->quiet.
_PyCoreConfig_Read() is now responsible to choose the filesystem
encoding and error handler. Using Py_Main(), the encoding is now
chosen even before calling Py_Initialize().
_PyCoreConfig.filesystem_encoding is now the reference, instead of
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, for the Python filesystem encoding.
Changes:
* Add filesystem_encoding and filesystem_errors to _PyCoreConfig
* _PyCoreConfig_Read() now reads the locale encoding for the file
system encoding.
* PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() and PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize()
now use the interpreter configuration rather than
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding and Py_FileSystemDefaultEncodeErrors
global configuration variables.
* Add _Py_SetFileSystemEncoding() and _Py_ClearFileSystemEncoding()
private functions to only modify Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding and
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncodeErrors in coreconfig.c.
* _Py_CoerceLegacyLocale() now takes an int rather than
_PyCoreConfig for the warning.
* Add Include/coreconfig.h
* Move config_*() and _PyCoreConfig_*() functions from Modules/main.c
to a new Python/coreconfig.c file.
* Inline _Py_ReadHashSeed() into config_init_hash_seed()
* Move global configuration variables to coreconfig.c
* Inline cmdline_get_env_flags() into config_read_env_vars():
_PyCoreConfig_Read() now reads much more environment variables like
PYTHONVERBOSE.
* Allow to override faulthandler and allocator even if dev_mode=1.
PYTHONMALLOC is now the priority over PYTHONDEVMODE.
* Fix _PyCoreConfig_Copy(): copy also install_signal_handlers,
coerce_c_locale and coerce_c_locale_warn
* _PyCoreConfig.install_signal_handlers default is now 1: install
signals by default
* Fix also a compiler warning: don't define _PyPathConfig type twice.
* If _Py_InitializeCore() is called twice, the second call now copies
and apply (partially) the new configuration.
* Rename _Py_CommandLineDetails to _PyCmdline
* Move more code into pymain_init(). The core configuration created
by Py_Main() is new destroyed before running Python to reduce the
memory footprint.
* _Py_InitializeCore() now returns the created interpreter.
_Py_InitializeMainInterpreter() now expects an interpreter.
* Remove _Py_InitializeEx_Private(): _freeze_importlib now uses
_Py_InitializeFromConfig()
* _PyCoreConfig_InitPathConfig() now only computes the path
configuration if needed.
* _PyCoreConfig: add isolated and site_import attributes
* Replace Py_IgnoreEnvironment with config->ignore_environment when
reading the current configuration
* _PyCoreConfig_Read() now sets ignore_environment, utf8_mode,
isolated and site_import from Py_IgnoreEnvironment, Py_UTF8Mode,
Py_IsolatedFlag and Py_NoSiteFlag
* _Py_InitializeCore() now sets Py_xxx flags from the configuration
* pymain_read_conf() now uses _PyCoreConfig_Copy() to save/restore
the configuration.
* Rename _disable_importlib of _PyCoreConfig to _install_importlib
* _PyCoreConfig_SetGlobalConfig() now also set
Py_HashRandomizationFlag
* Replace !Py_NoSiteFlag with core_config->site_import
* _PyCoreConfig_Read() no longer directly modifies Py_IsolatedFlag
and Py_NoSiteFlag global configuration flags. The function now
requires two pointers to integer, so these flags can be set later,
to avoid side effets in _PyCoreConfig_Read().
* pathconfig_global_init() now leaves Py_IsolatedFlag and
Py_NoSiteFlag unchanged.
* Fix pathconfig_global_init(): avoid computing the path
configuration twice, use _PyCoreConfig_SetPathConfig().
Rework _PyCoreConfig_Read() function which *reads* core configuration
to not *modify* the path configuration.
A new _PyCoreConfig_SetPathConfig() function now recreates the path
configuration from the core configuration. This function is now
called very late in _Py_InitializeCore(), just before calling
initimport().
Changes:
* Add _PyCoreConfig.dll_path
* Py_SetPath() now fails with a fatal python error on memory
allocation failure.
* Rename _PyPathConfig_Calculate() to _PyPathConfig_Calculate_impl()
* Replace _PyPathConfig_Init() with _PyPathConfig_Calculate(): the
function now requires a _PyPathConfig
* Add _PyPathConfig_SetGlobal() to set the _Py_path_config global
variable.
* Add _PyCoreConfig_InitPathConfig(): compute the path configuration
* Add _PyCoreConfig_SetPathConfig(): set path configuration from core
configuration
* Rename wstrlist_append() to _Py_wstrlist_append()
* _Py_wstrlist_append() now handles integer overflow.
Add a new _Py_FindEnvConfigValue() function: code shared between
Windows and Unix implementations of _PyPathConfig_Calculate() to read
the pyenv.cfg file.
_Py_FindEnvConfigValue() now uses _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape()
instead of using a Python Unicode string, the Python API must not be
used early during Python initialization. Same change in Unix
search_for_exec_prefix(): use _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape().
Cleanup also encode_current_locale(): PyMem_RawFree/PyMem_Free can be
called with NULL.
Fix also "NUL byte" => "NULL byte" typo.
Merge _PyCoreConfig_ReadEnv() into _PyCoreConfig_Read(), and
_Py_CommandLineDetails usage is now restricted to pymain_cmdline().
Changes:
* _PyCoreConfig: Add nxoption, xoptions, nwarnoption and warnoptions
* Add _PyCoreConfig.program: argv[0] or ""
* Move filename, command, module and xoptions from
_Py_CommandLineDetails to _PyMain. xoptions _Py_OptList becomes
(int, wchar_t**) list.
* Add pymain_cmdline() function
* Rename copy_argv() to copy_wstrlist(). Rename clear_argv() to
clear_wstrlist(). Remove _Py_OptList structure: use (int,
wchar_t**) list instead.
* Rename pymain_set_flag_from_env() to pymain_get_env_flag()
* Rename pymain_set_flags_from_env() to pymain_get_env_flags()
* _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Read() now creates the warnoptions from
_PyCoreConfig.warnoptions
* Inline pymain_add_warning_dev_mode() and
pymain_add_warning_bytes_flag() into config_init_warnoptions()
* Inline pymain_get_program_name() into _PyCoreConfig_Read()
* _Py_CommandLineDetails: Replace warning_options with nwarnoption
and warnoptions. Replace env_warning_options with nenv_warnoption
and env_warnoptions.
* pymain_warnings_envvar() now has a single implementation for
Windows and Unix: use config_get_env_var_dup() to also get the
variable as wchar_t* on Unix.
* Add argc and argv to _PyCoreConfig
* _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Read() now builds its argv from
_PyCoreConfig.arg
* Move _PyMain.env_warning_options into _Py_CommandLineDetails
* Reorder pymain_free()
bpo-29240, bpo-32030: If the encoding change (C locale coerced or
UTF-8 Mode changed), Py_Main() now reads again the configuration with
the new encoding.
Changes:
* Add _Py_UnixMain() called by main().
* Rename pymain_free_pymain() to pymain_clear_pymain(), it can now be
called multipled times.
* Rename pymain_parse_cmdline_envvars() to pymain_read_conf().
* Py_Main() now clears orig_argc and orig_argv at exit.
* Remove argv_copy2, Py_Main() doesn't modify argv anymore. There is
no need anymore to get two copies of the wchar_t** argv.
* _PyCoreConfig: add coerce_c_locale and coerce_c_locale_warn.
* Py_UTF8Mode is now initialized to -1.
* Locale coercion (PEP 538) now respects -I and -E options.
Each interpreter now has its core_config and main_config copy:
* Add _PyCoreConfig_Copy() and _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Copy()
* Move _PyCoreConfig_Read(), _PyCoreConfig_Clear() and
_PyMainInterpreterConfig_Clear() from Python/pylifecycle.c to
Modules/main.c
* Fix _Py_InitializeEx_Private(): call _PyCoreConfig_ReadEnv() before
_Py_InitializeCore()
bpo-32329, bpo-32030:
* The -R option now turns on hash randomization when the
PYTHONHASHSEED environment variable is set to 0 Previously, the
option was ignored.
* sys.flags.hash_randomization is now properly set to 0 when hash
randomization is turned off by PYTHONHASHSEED=0.
* _PyCoreConfig_ReadEnv() now reads the PYTHONHASHSEED environment
variable. _Py_HashRandomization_Init() now only apply the
configuration, it doesn't read PYTHONHASHSEED anymore.
_PyMainInterpreterConfig now contains Python objects, whereas
_PyCoreConfig contains wchar_t* strings.
Core config:
* Rename _PyMainInterpreterConfig_ReadEnv() to _PyCoreConfig_ReadEnv()
* Move 3 strings from _PyMainInterpreterConfig to _PyCoreConfig:
module_search_path_env, home, program_name.
* Add _PyCoreConfig_Clear()
* _PyPathConfig_Calculate() now takes core config rather than main
config
* _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Read() now requires also a core config
Main config:
* Add _PyMainInterpreterConfig.module_search_path: sys.path list
* Add _PyMainInterpreterConfig.argv: sys.argv list
* _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Read() now computes module_search_path
Changes:
* Split _PySys_SetArgvWithError() into subfunctions for Py_Main():
* Create the Python list object
* Set sys.argv to the list
* Compute argv0
* Prepend argv0 to sys.path
* Add _PyPathConfig_ComputeArgv0()
* Remove _PySys_SetArgvWithError()
* Py_Main() now splits the code to compute sys.argv/path0 and the
code to update the sys module: add pymain_compute_argv()
subfunction.
PyImport_ExtendInittab() now uses PyMem_RawRealloc() rather than
PyMem_Realloc(). PyImport_ExtendInittab() can be called before
Py_Initialize() whereas only the PyMem_Raw allocator is supposed to
be used before Py_Initialize().
Add _PyImport_Fini2() to release the memory allocated by
PyImport_ExtendInittab() at exit. PyImport_ExtendInittab() now forces
the usage of the default raw allocator, to be able to release memory
in _PyImport_Fini2().
Don't export these functions anymore to be C API, only to
Py_BUILD_CORE:
* _PyExc_Fini()
* _PyImport_Fini()
* _PyGC_DumpShutdownStats()
* _PyGC_Fini()
* _PyType_Fini()
* _Py_HashRandomization_Fini()
* Factorize code from PC/getpathp.c and Modules/getpath.c to remove
duplicated code
* rename pathconfig_clear() to _PyPathConfig_Clear()
* Inline _PyPathConfig_Fini() in pymain_impl() and then remove it,
since it's a oneliner
Changes:
* _PyPathConfig_Fini() cannot be called in Py_FinalizeEx().
Py_Initialize() and Py_Finalize() can be called multiple times, but
it must not "forget" parameters set by Py_SetProgramName(),
Py_SetPath() or Py_SetPythonHome(), whereas _PyPathConfig_Fini()
clear all these parameters.
* config_get_program_name() and calculate_program_full_path() now
also decode paths using Py_DecodeLocale() to use the
surrogateescape error handler, rather than decoding using
mbstowcs() which is strict.
* Change _Py_CheckPython3() prototype: () => (void)
* Truncate a few lines which were too long
Py_GetPath() and Py_Main() now call
_PyMainInterpreterConfig_ReadEnv() to share the same code to get
environment variables.
Changes:
* Add _PyMainInterpreterConfig_ReadEnv()
* Add _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Clear()
* Add _PyMem_RawWcsdup()
* _PyMainInterpreterConfig: rename pythonhome to home
* Rename _Py_ReadMainInterpreterConfig() to
_PyMainInterpreterConfig_Read()
* Use _Py_INIT_USER_ERR(), instead of _Py_INIT_ERR(), for decoding
errors: the user is able to fix the issue, it's not a bug in
Python. Same change was made in _Py_INIT_NO_MEMORY().
* Remove _Py_GetPythonHomeWithConfig()
* calculate_path() rewritten in Modules/getpath.c and PC/getpathp.c
* Move global variables into a new PyPathConfig structure.
* calculate_path():
* Split the huge calculate_path() function into subfunctions.
* Add PyCalculatePath structure to pass data between subfunctions.
* Document PyCalculatePath fields.
* Move cleanup code into a new calculate_free() subfunction
* calculate_init() now handles Py_DecodeLocale() failures properly
* calculate_path() is now atomic: only replace PyPathConfig
(path_config) at once on success.
* _Py_GetPythonHomeWithConfig() now returns an error on failure
* Add _Py_INIT_NO_MEMORY() helper: report a memory allocation failure
* Coding style fixes (PEP 7)
* Py_Main() now reads the PYTHONHOME environment variable
* Add _Py_GetPythonHomeWithConfig() private function
* Add _PyWarnings_InitWithConfig()
* init_filters() doesn't get the current core configuration from the
current interpreter or Python thread anymore. Pass explicitly the
configuration to _PyWarnings_InitWithConfig().
* _Py_InitializeCore() now fails on _PyWarnings_InitWithConfig()
failure.
* Pass configuration as constant
Changes:
* Py_Main() initializes _PyCoreConfig.module_search_path_env from
the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
* PyInterpreterState_New() now initializes core_config and config
fields
* Compute sys.path a little bit ealier in
_Py_InitializeMainInterpreter() and new_interpreter()
* Add _Py_GetPathWithConfig() private function.
* Don't use "Python runtime" anymore to parse command line options or
to get environment variables: pymain_init() is now a strict
separation.
* Use an error message rather than "crashing" directly with
Py_FatalError(). Limit the number of calls to Py_FatalError(). It
prepares the code to handle errors more nicely later.
* Warnings options (-W, PYTHONWARNINGS) and "XOptions" (-X) are now
only added to the sys module once Python core is properly
initialized.
* _PyMain is now the well identified owner of some important strings
like: warnings options, XOptions, and the "program name". The
program name string is now properly freed at exit.
pymain_free() is now responsible to free the "command" string.
* Rename most methods in Modules/main.c to use a "pymain_" prefix to
avoid conflits and ease debug.
* Replace _Py_CommandLineDetails_INIT with memset(0)
* Reorder a lot of code to fix the initialization ordering. For
example, initializing standard streams now comes before parsing
PYTHONWARNINGS.
* Py_Main() now handles errors when adding warnings options and
XOptions.
* Add _PyMem_GetDefaultRawAllocator() private function.
* Cleanup _PyMem_Initialize(): remove useless global constants: move
them into _PyMem_Initialize().
* Call _PyRuntime_Initialize() as soon as possible:
_PyRuntime_Initialize() now returns an error message on failure.
* Add _PyInitError structure and following macros:
* _Py_INIT_OK()
* _Py_INIT_ERR(msg)
* _Py_INIT_USER_ERR(msg): "user" error, don't abort() in that case
* _Py_INIT_FAILED(err)
