* Rather than raise TypeError, warn and call list() on the value.
* Fix tests, revise NEWS and whatsnew text.
* Revise documentation, a string is okay as well.
* Ensure 'requires' and 'obsoletes' are real lists.
* Test that requires and obsoletes are turned to lists.
_PyPathConfig_Init() now also initialize home and program_name:
* Rename existing _PyPathConfig_Init() to _PyPathConfig_Calculate().
Add a new _PyPathConfig_Init() function in pathconfig.c which
handles the _Py_path_config variable and call
_PyPathConfig_Calculate().
* Add home and program_name fields to _PyPathConfig.home
* _PyPathConfig_Init() now initialize home and program_name
from main_config
* Py_SetProgramName(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_GetPythonHome() now
calls Py_FatalError() on failure, instead of silently ignoring
failures.
* config_init_home() now gets directly _Py_path_config.home to only
get the value set by Py_SetPythonHome(), or NULL if
Py_SetPythonHome() was not called.
* config_get_program_name() now gets directly
_Py_path_config.program_name to only get the value set by
Py_SetProgramName(), or NULL if Py_SetProgramName() was not called.
* pymain_init_python() doesn't call Py_SetProgramName() anymore,
_PyPathConfig_Init() now always sets the program name
* Call _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Read() in
pymain_parse_cmdline_envvars_impl() to control the memory allocator
* C API documentation: it's no more safe to call Py_GetProgramName()
before Py_Initialize().
The current behaviour of yield expressions inside comprehensions and
generator expressions is essentially an accident of implementation - it
arises implicitly from the way the compiler handles yield expressions inside
nested functions and generators.
Since the current behaviour wasn't deliberately designed, and is inherently
confusing, we're deprecating it, with no current plans to reintroduce it.
Instead, our advice will be to use a named nested generator definition
for cases where this behaviour is desired.
When PyGILState_Ensure() is called in a non-Python thread before
PyEval_InitThreads(), only call PyEval_InitThreads() after calling
PyThreadState_New() to fix a crash.
Add an unit test in test_embed.
* bpo-32101: Add sys.flags.dev_mode flag
Rename also the "Developer mode" to the "Development mode".
* bpo-32101: Add PYTHONDEVMODE environment variable
Mention it in the development chapiter.
* Add most_recent_first parameter to tracemalloc.Traceback.format to allow
reversing the order of the frames in the output
* Reversed default sorting of tracemalloc.Traceback frames
* Allowed negative limit, truncating from the other side.
* Fix _PyMem_SetupAllocators("debug"): always restore allocators to
the defaults, rather than only caling _PyMem_SetupDebugHooks().
* Add _PyMem_SetDefaultAllocator() helper to set the "default"
allocator.
* Add _PyMem_GetAllocatorsName(): get the name of the allocators
* main() now uses debug hooks on memory allocators if Py_DEBUG is
defined, rather than calling directly malloc()
* Document default memory allocators in C API documentation
* _Py_InitializeCore() now fails with a fatal user error if
PYTHONMALLOC value is an unknown memory allocator, instead of
failing with a fatal internal error.
* Add new tests on the PYTHONMALLOC environment variable
* Add support.with_pymalloc()
* Add the _testcapi.WITH_PYMALLOC constant and expose it as
support.with_pymalloc().
* sysconfig.get_config_var('WITH_PYMALLOC') doesn't work on Windows, so
replace it with support.with_pymalloc().
* pythoninfo: add _testcapi collector for pymem
``uuid.getnode()`` now preferentially returns universally administered MAC addresses if available, over locally administered MAC addresses. This makes a better guarantee for global uniqueness of UUIDs returned from ``uuid.uuid1()``. If only locally administered MAC addresses are available, the first such one found is returned.
Also improve internal code style by being explicit about ``return None`` rather than falling off the end of the function.
Improve the test robustness.
* Remove asyncio.selectors and asyncio._overlapped symbols from the
namespace of the asyncio module
* Replace "from asyncio import selectors" with "import selectors"
* Replace "from asyncio import _overlapped" with "import _overlapped"
asyncio.selectors was added to support Python 3.3, which doesn't have
selectors in its standard library, and Python 3.4 in the same code
base. Same rationale for asyncio._overlapped. Python 3.3 reached its
end of life, and asyncio is no more maintained as a third party
module on PyPI.
The paragraph that contains example of string literal concatenation was placed
after the section about concatenation using the '+' sign.
Moved the paragraph to the appropriate section.
Adds a simpler and faster alternative to ExitStack for handling
single optional context managers without having to change the
lexical structure of your code.
The developer mode (-X dev) now creates all default warnings filters
to order filters in the correct order to always show ResourceWarning
and make BytesWarning depend on the -b option.
Write a functional test to make sure that ResourceWarning is logged
twice at the same location in the developer mode.
Add a new 'dev_mode' field to _PyCoreConfig.
`BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL` was duplicated as the opcode for both var-positional and var-keyword arguments. The opcode for the former was updated as `BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK_WITH_CALL`.
