The registry() method of functools.singledispatch() functions checks now
the first argument or the first parameter annotation and raises a TypeError if it is
not supported. Previously unsupported "types" were ignored (e.g. typing.List[int])
or caused an error at calling time (e.g. list[int]).
The topological sort functionality that was introduced initially in the
functools module has been moved to a new graphlib module to
better accommodate the new tools and keep the original scope of the
functools module.
I have noticed that `'` quotes are used everywhere except this particular case,
which was introduced in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/18726
So, this is a trivial fix to enforce better consistency.
Deprecated passing the following arguments as keyword arguments:
- "func" in functools.partialmethod(), weakref.finalize(),
profile.Profile.runcall(), cProfile.Profile.runcall(),
bdb.Bdb.runcall(), trace.Trace.runfunc() and
curses.wrapper().
- "function" in unittest.addModuleCleanup() and
unittest.TestCase.addCleanup().
- "fn" in the submit() method of concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor
and concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor.
- "callback" in contextlib.ExitStack.callback(),
contextlib.AsyncExitStack.callback() and
contextlib.AsyncExitStack.push_async_callback().
- "c" and "typeid" in the create() method of multiprocessing.managers.Server
and multiprocessing.managers.SharedMemoryServer.
- "obj" in weakref.finalize().
Also allowed to pass arbitrary keyword arguments (even "self" and "func")
if the above arguments are passed as positional argument.
inspect.isfunction() processes both inspect.isfunction(func) and
inspect.isfunction(partial(func, arg)) correctly but some other functions in the
inspect module (iscoroutinefunction, isgeneratorfunction and isasyncgenfunction)
lack this functionality. This commits adds a new check in the mentioned functions
in the inspect module so they can work correctly with arbitrarily nested partial
functions.
In Python 3.6, sorted() was removed from _make_key() for the lru_cache and instead rely on guaranteed keyword argument order preservation. This makes keyword argument handling faster but it also causes multiple callers with a different keyword argument order to be cached as separate items. Depending on your point of view, this is either a performance regression (increased number of cache misses) or a performance enhancement (faster computation of keys).
The pure Python fallback implementation of functools.partial
now matches the behaviour of its accelerated C counterpart for
subclassing, pickling and text representation purposes.
