importlib._bootstrap is now frozen into Python/importlib.h and stored
as _frozen_importlib in sys.modules. Py_Initialize() loads the frozen
code along with sys and imp and then uses _frozen_importlib._install()
to set builtins.__import__() w/ _frozen_importlib.__import__().
Currently import does not use these attributes as they are planned
for use by importlib (which will be another commit).
Thanks to Filip Gruszczyński for the initial patch and Brian Curtin
for refining it.
This allows generators that are using yield from to be seen by debuggers. It
also kills the f_yieldfrom field on frame objects.
Patch mostly from Mark Shannon with a few tweaks by me.
time.ctime(), gmtime(), time.localtime(), datetime.date.fromtimestamp(),
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() and datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp() now
raises an OverflowError, instead of a ValueError, if the timestamp does not fit
in time_t.
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() and datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp() now
round microseconds towards zero instead of rounding to nearest with ties going
away from zero.
and lifetime issues of dynamically allocated Py_buffer members (#9990)
as well as crashes (#8305, #7433). Many new features have been added
(See whatsnew/3.3), and the documentation has been updated extensively.
The ndarray test object from _testbuffer.c implements all aspects of
PEP-3118, so further development towards the complete implementation
of the PEP can proceed in a test-driven manner.
Thanks to Nick Coghlan, Antoine Pitrou and Pauli Virtanen for review
and many ideas.
- Issue #12834: Fix incorrect results of memoryview.tobytes() for
non-contiguous arrays.
- Issue #5231: Introduce memoryview.cast() method that allows changing
format and shape without making a copy of the underlying memory.
* Decode thousands separator and decimal point using PyUnicode_DecodeLocale()
(from the locale encoding), instead of decoding them implicitly from latin1
* Remove _PyUnicode_InsertThousandsGroupingLocale(), it was not used
* Change _PyUnicode_InsertThousandsGrouping() API to return the maximum
character if unicode is NULL
* Replace MIN/MAX macros by Py_MIN/Py_MAX
* stringlib/undef.h undefines STRINGLIB_IS_UNICODE
* stringlib/localeutil.h only supports Unicode
in order to make algorithmic complexity attacks on (e.g.) web apps much more complicated.
The environment variable PYTHONHASHSEED and the new command line flag -R control this
behavior.
