* Fix integer overflow in os.readv(), os.writev(), os.preadv()
and os.pwritev() and in os.sendfile() with headers or trailers
arguments (on BSD-based OSes and MacOS).
* Fix sending the part of the file in os.sendfile() on MacOS.
Using the trailers argument could cause sending more bytes from
the input file than was specified.
Thanks Ned Deily for testing on 32-bit MacOS.
* help(hashlib) didn't work because of incorrect module name in blake2b and
blake2s classes.
* Constructors blake2*(), sha3_*(), shake_*() and keccak_*() incorrectly
accepted keyword argument "string" for binary data, but documented as
accepting the "data" keyword argument. Now this parameter is positional-only.
* Keyword-only parameters in blake2b() and blake2s() were not documented as
keyword-only.
* Default value for some parameters of blake2b() and blake2s() was None,
which is not acceptable value.
* The length argument for shake_*.digest() was wrapped out to 32 bits.
* The argument for shake_128.digest() and shake_128.hexdigest() was not
positional-only as intended.
* TypeError messages for incorrect arguments in all constructors sha3_*(),
shake_*() and keccak_*() incorrectly referred to sha3_224.
Also made the following enhancements:
* More accurately specified input and result types for strings, bytes and
bytes-like objects.
* Unified positional parameter names for update() and constructors.
* Improved formatting.
* The hash of BuiltinMethodType instances no longer depends on the hash
of __self__. It depends now on the hash of id(__self__).
* The hash and equality of ModuleType and MethodWrapperType instances no
longer depend on the hash and equality of __self__. They depend now on
the hash and equality of id(__self__).
* MethodWrapperType instances no longer support ordering.
This list is never used: if detect_types is on, this list will be
replaced with another one before row_cast_map is used, if
detect_types is off, row_cast_map is not used at all.
Various asyncio internals expect that the default executor is a
`ThreadPoolExecutor`, so deprecate passing anything else to
`loop.set_default_executor()`.
Mathematically, bitwise operations on integers behave as if there were an
infinite number of sign bits. Pragmatically, that gives the same answer as
using one extra sign bit for the bitwise logical operations.
Also, update the list of exceptions that may raised by PyMarshal_*
functions. We usually don't document exceptions raised by a
function, but in this case most of them were already documented
in C API and standard library documentation.
* bpo-34239: Convert test_bz2 to use tempfile
test_bz2 currently uses the test.support.TESTFN functionality which creates a temporary file local to the test directory named around the pid.
This can give rise to race conditions where tests are competing with each other to delete and recreate the file.
This change converts the tests to use tempfile.mkstemp which gives a different file every time from the system's temp area
* Config: Rename ignore_environment field to use_environment.
* _PyCoreConfig_Read(): if isolated is set, use_environment and
site_import are now always set to 0.
* Inline pymain_free_raw() into pymain_free()
* Move config_init_warnoptions() call into pymain_read_conf_impl()
* _PyCoreConfig_Read(): don't replace values if they are already set:
faulthandler, pycache_prefix, home.
* 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.
Enable and fix SMTPUTF8SimTests in test_smtplib.
The tests for SMTPUTF8SimTests in test_smtplib.py were not actually
being run because test_smtplib was still using the 'test_main' pattern,
and the class was never added to test_main.
Additionally, one of the tests needed to be moved to the non-UTF8 server
class because it relies on the server not being UTF-8 compatible (and it
had a bug in in).
On Windows, passing a negative value to local results in an OSError because localtime_s on Windows does not support negative timestamps. Unfortunately this means that fold detection for timestamps between 0 and max_fold_seconds will result in this OSError since we subtract max_fold_seconds from the timestamp to detect a fold. However, since we know there haven't been any folds in the interval [0, max_fold_seconds) in any timezone, we can hackily just forego fold detection for this time range on Windows.
* Fix case-sensitive comparison
test_nt_helpers assumed that two versions of a Windows path could be compared case-sensitively. This is not the case, and the difference can be triggered (apparently) by running the test on a path somewhere below a Junction.
* 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.
