The limited C API is now supported if Python is built in debug mode
(if the Py_DEBUG macro is defined). In the limited C API, the
Py_INCREF() and Py_DECREF() functions are now implemented as opaque
function calls, rather than accessing directly the PyObject.ob_refcnt
member, if Python is built in debug mode and the Py_LIMITED_API macro
targets Python 3.10 or newer. It became possible to support the
limited C API in debug mode because the PyObject structure is the
same in release and debug mode since Python 3.8 (see bpo-36465).
The limited C API is still not supported in the --with-trace-refs
special build (Py_TRACE_REFS macro).
Reorganize pycore_interp_init() to initialize singletons before the
the first PyType_Ready() call. Fix an issue when Python is configured
using --without-doc-strings.
See [PEP 597](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0597/).
* Add `-X warn_default_encoding` and `PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING`.
* Add EncodingWarning
* Add io.text_encoding()
* open(), TextIOWrapper() emits EncodingWarning when encoding is omitted and warn_default_encoding is enabled.
* _pyio.TextIOWrapper() uses UTF-8 as fallback default encoding used when failed to import locale module. (used during building Python)
* bz2, configparser, gzip, lzma, pathlib, tempfile modules use io.text_encoding().
* What's new entry
Remove the pyarena.h header file with functions:
* PyArena_New()
* PyArena_Free()
* PyArena_Malloc()
* PyArena_AddPyObject()
These functions were undocumented, excluded from the limited C API,
and were only used internally by the compiler.
Add pycore_pyarena.h header. Rename functions:
* PyArena_New() => _PyArena_New()
* PyArena_Free() => _PyArena_Free()
* PyArena_Malloc() => _PyArena_Malloc()
* PyArena_AddPyObject() => _PyArena_AddPyObject()
Remove parser functions using the "struct _mod" type, because the
AST C API was removed:
* PyParser_ASTFromFile()
* PyParser_ASTFromFileObject()
* PyParser_ASTFromFilename()
* PyParser_ASTFromString()
* PyParser_ASTFromStringObject()
These functions were undocumented and excluded from the limited C
API.
Add pycore_parser.h internal header file. Rename functions:
* PyParser_ASTFromFileObject() => _PyParser_ASTFromFile()
* PyParser_ASTFromStringObject() => _PyParser_ASTFromString()
These functions are no longer exported (replace PyAPI_FUNC() with
extern).
Remove also _PyPegen_run_parser_from_file() function. Update
test_peg_generator to use _PyPegen_run_parser_from_file_pointer()
instead.
Remove the compiler functions using "struct _mod" type, because the
public AST C API was removed:
* PyAST_Compile()
* PyAST_CompileEx()
* PyAST_CompileObject()
* PyFuture_FromAST()
* PyFuture_FromASTObject()
These functions were undocumented and excluded from the limited C API.
Rename functions:
* PyAST_CompileObject() => _PyAST_Compile()
* PyFuture_FromASTObject() => _PyFuture_FromAST()
Moreover, _PyFuture_FromAST() is no longer exported (replace
PyAPI_FUNC() with extern). _PyAST_Compile() remains exported for
test_peg_generator.
Remove also compatibility functions:
* PyAST_Compile()
* PyAST_CompileEx()
* PyFuture_FromAST()
These functions were undocumented and excluded from the limited C
API.
Most names defined by these header files were not prefixed by "Py"
and so could create names conflicts. For example, Python-ast.h
defined a "Yield" macro which was conflict with the "Yield" name used
by the Windows <winbase.h> header.
Use the Python ast module instead.
* Move Include/asdl.h to Include/internal/pycore_asdl.h.
* Move Include/Python-ast.h to Include/internal/pycore_ast.h.
* Remove ast.h header file.
* pycore_symtable.h no longer includes Python-ast.h.
Stefan Krah requested the reversal of these (unreleased) changes, quoting him:
> The capsule API does not meet my testing standards, since I've focused
on the upstream mpdecimal in the last couple of months.
> Additionally, I'd like to refine the API, perhaps together with the
Arrow community.

Rename Include/symtable.h to to Include/internal/pycore_symtable.h,
don't export symbols anymore (replace PyAPI_FUNC and PyAPI_DATA with
extern) and rename functions:
* PyST_GetScope() to _PyST_GetScope()
* PySymtable_BuildObject() to _PySymtable_Build()
* PySymtable_Free() to _PySymtable_Free()
Remove PySymtable_Build(), Py_SymtableString() and
Py_SymtableStringObject() functions.
The Py_SymtableString() function was part the stable ABI by mistake
but it could not be used, since the symtable.h header file was
excluded from the limited C API.
The Python symtable module remains available and is unchanged.
Remove the PyAST_Validate() function. It is no longer possible to
build a AST object (mod_ty type) with the public C API. The function
was already excluded from the limited C API (PEP 384).
Rename PyAST_Validate() function to _PyAST_Validate(), move it to the
internal C API, and don't export it anymore (replace PyAPI_FUNC with
extern).
The function was added in bpo-12575 by
the commit 832bfe2ebd.
Move _PyAST_GetDocString() and _PyAST_ExprAsUnicode() functions the
internal C API: from Include/ast.h to a new
Include/internal/pycore_ast.h header file. Don't export these
functions anymore: replace PyAPI_FUNC() with extern.
Remove also unused includes.
At Python startup, call _PyGILState_Init() before
PyInterpreterState_New() which calls _PyThreadState_GET(). When
Python is built using --with-experimental-isolated-subinterpreters,
_PyThreadState_GET() uses autoTSSkey.
For some mysterious reason we have PySet_Check, PyFrozenSet_Check, PyAnySet_Check, PyAnySet_CheckExact and PyFrozenSet_CheckExact but no PySet_CheckExact.
The types.FunctionType constructor now inherits the current builtins
if the globals dictionary has no "__builtins__" key, rather than
using {"None": None} as builtins: same behavior as eval() and exec()
functions.
Defining a function with "def function(...): ..." in Python is not
affected, globals cannot be overriden with this syntax: it also
inherits the current builtins.
PyFrame_New(), PyEval_EvalCode(), PyEval_EvalCodeEx(),
PyFunction_New() and PyFunction_NewWithQualName() now inherits the
current builtins namespace if the globals dictionary has no
"__builtins__" key.
* Add _PyEval_GetBuiltins() function.
* _PyEval_BuiltinsFromGlobals() now uses _PyEval_GetBuiltins() if
builtins cannot be found in globals.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyEval_BuiltinsFromGlobals().
Include/{odictobject.h,parser_interface.h,picklebufobject.h,pydebug.h,pyfpe.h}
into Include/cpython/.
Parser: peg_api: include Python.h instead of parser_interface.h.
Pass the current interpreter (interp) rather than the current Python
thread state (tstate) to internal functions which only use the
interpreter.
Modified functions:
* _PyXXX_Fini() and _PyXXX_ClearFreeList() functions
* _PyEval_SignalAsyncExc(), make_pending_calls()
* _PySys_GetObject(), sys_set_object(), sys_set_object_id(), sys_set_object_str()
* should_audit(), set_flags_from_config(), make_flags()
* _PyAtExit_Call()
* init_stdio_encoding()
* etc.
Remove the private _PyErr_OCCURRED() macro: use the public
PyErr_Occurred() function instead.
CPython internals must use the internal _PyErr_Occurred(tstate)
function instead: it is the most efficient way to check if an
exception was raised.
Use directly the PyThreadState_Get() function in public header files,
since PyThreadState_GET() macro is just an alias to it in pratice in
these files.
Replace _PyThreadState_GET() with _PyInterpreterState_GET() in
functions which only need the current interpreter, but don't need the
current Python thread state.
Replace also _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() with _PyThreadState_GET()
in faulthandler.c, since _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() is just an
alias to _PyThreadState_GET() in practice.
* Refactor _PyFrame_New_NoTrack() and PyFunction_NewWithQualName()
code.
* PyFrame_New() checks for _PyEval_BuiltinsFromGlobals() failure.
* Fix a ref leak in _PyEval_BuiltinsFromGlobals() error path.
* Complete PyFunction_GetModule() documentation: it returns a
borrowed reference and it can return NULL.
* Move _PyEval_BuiltinsFromGlobals() definition to the internal C
API.
* PyFunction_NewWithQualName() uses _Py_IDENTIFIER() API for the
"__name__" string to make it compatible with subinterpreters.
* Further refactoring of PyEval_EvalCode and friends. Break into make-frame, and eval-frame parts.
* Simplify function vector call using new _PyEval_Vector.
* Remove unused internal functions: _PyEval_EvalCodeWithName and _PyEval_EvalCode.
* Don't use legacy function PyEval_EvalCodeEx.
