What's New in Python 3.6.0 beta 1
|
||
=================================
|
||
|
||
*Release date: XXXX-XX-XX*
|
||
|
||
Core and Builtins
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #23722: The __class__ cell used by zero-argument super() is now
|
||
initialized from type.__new__ rather than __build_class__, so class methods
|
||
relying on that will now work correctly when called from metaclass methods
|
||
during class creation. Patch by Martin Teichmann.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25221: Fix corrupted result from PyLong_FromLong(0) when Python
|
||
is compiled with NSMALLPOSINTS = 0.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27080: Implement formatting support for PEP 515. Initial patch
|
||
by Chris Angelico.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27199: In tarfile, expose copyfileobj bufsize to improve throughput.
|
||
Patch by Jason Fried.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27948: In f-strings, only allow backslashes inside the braces
|
||
(where the expressions are). This is a breaking change from the 3.6
|
||
alpha releases, where backslashes are allowed anywhere in an
|
||
f-string. Also, require that expressions inside f-strings be
|
||
enclosed within literal braces, and not escapes like
|
||
f'\x7b"hi"\x7d'.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #28046: Remove platform-specific directories from sys.path.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #28071: Add early-out for differencing from an empty set.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25758: Prevents zipimport from unnecessarily encoding a filename
|
||
(patch by Eryk Sun)
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25856: The __module__ attribute of extension classes and functions
|
||
now is interned. This leads to more compact pickle data with protocol 4.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27213: Rework CALL_FUNCTION* opcodes to produce shorter and more
|
||
efficient bytecode. Patch by Demur Rumed, design by Serhiy Storchaka,
|
||
reviewed by Serhiy Storchaka and Victor Stinner.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26331: Implement tokenizing support for PEP 515. Patch by Georg Brandl.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27999: Make "global after use" a SyntaxError, and ditto for nonlocal.
|
||
Patch by Ivan Levkivskyi.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #28003: Implement PEP 525 -- Asynchronous Generators.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27985: Implement PEP 526 -- Syntax for Variable Annotations.
|
||
Patch by Ivan Levkivskyi.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26058: Add a new private version to the builtin dict type, incremented
|
||
at each dictionary creation and at each dictionary change. Implementation of
|
||
the PEP 509.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27364: A backslash-character pair that is not a valid escape sequence
|
||
now generates a DeprecationWarning. Patch by Emanuel Barry.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27350: `dict` implementation is changed like PyPy. It is more compact
|
||
and preserves insertion order.
|
||
(Concept developed by Raymond Hettinger and patch by Inada Naoki.)
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27911: Remove unnecessary error checks in
|
||
``exec_builtin_or_dynamic()``.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27078: Added BUILD_STRING opcode. Optimized f-strings evaluation.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17884: Python now requires systems with inttypes.h and stdint.h
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27961: Require platforms to support ``long long``. Python hasn't
|
||
compiled without ``long long`` for years, so this is basically a formality.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27355: Removed support for Windows CE. It was never finished,
|
||
and Windows CE is no longer a relevant platform for Python.
|
||
|
||
- Implement PEP 523.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27870: A left shift of zero by a large integer no longer attempts
|
||
to allocate large amounts of memory.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25402: In int-to-decimal-string conversion, improve the estimate
|
||
of the intermediate memory required, and remove an unnecessarily strict
|
||
overflow check. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27214: In long_invert, be more careful about modifying object
|
||
returned by long_add, and remove an unnecessary check for small longs.
|
||
Thanks Oren Milman for analysis and patch.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27506: Support passing the bytes/bytearray.translate() "delete"
|
||
argument by keyword.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27812: Properly clear out a generator's frame's backreference to the
|
||
generator to prevent crashes in frame.clear().
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27811: Fix a crash when a coroutine that has not been awaited is

|
||
after use of 'def' in _PyState_AddModule().
|
||
Initial patch by Christian Heimes.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27792: The modulo operation applied to ``bool`` and other
|
||
``int`` subclasses now always returns an ``int``. Previously
|
||
the return type depended on the input values. Patch by Xiang Zhang.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26984: int() now always returns an instance of exact int.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25604: Fix a minor bug in integer true division; this bug could
|
||
potentially have caused off-by-one-ulp results on platforms with
|
||
unreliable ldexp implementations.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #24254: Make class definition namespace ordered by default.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27662: Fix an overflow check in ``List_New``: the original code was
|
||
checking against ``Py_SIZE_MAX`` instead of the correct upper bound of
|
||
``Py_SSIZE_T_MAX``. Patch by Xiang Zhang.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27782: Multi-phase extension module import now correctly allows the
|
||
``m_methods`` field to be used to add module level functions to instances
|
||
of non-module types returned from ``Py_create_mod``. Patch by Xiang Zhang.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27936: The round() function accepted a second None argument
|
||
for some types but not for others. Fixed the inconsistency by
|
||
accepting None for all numeric types.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27487: Warn if a submodule argument to "python -m" or
|
||
runpy.run_module() is found in sys.modules after parent packages are
|
||
imported, but before the submodule is executed.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27157: Make only type() itself accept the one-argument form.
|
||
Patch by Eryk Sun and Emanuel Barry.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27558: Fix a SystemError in the implementation of "raise" statement.

|
||
bug described in issue25782.
|
||
|
||
- [Security] Issue #27278: Fix os.urandom() implementation using getrandom() on

- Issue #27190: Raise NotSupportedError if sqlite3 is older than 3.3.1.
|
||
Patch by Dave Sawyer.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27286: Fixed compiling BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL opcode. Calling
|
||
function with generalized unpacking (PEP 448) and conflicting keyword names

|
||
- Issue #26983: float() now always return an instance of exact float.
|
||

a strict subclass of float. In a future versions of Python this can
|
||
be an error.

- Issue #23275: Allow assigning to an empty target list in round brackets:
|
||
() = iterable.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27243: Update the __aiter__ protocol: instead of returning
|
||
an awaitable that resolves to an asynchronous iterator, the asynchronous
|
||
iterator should be returned directly. Doing the former will trigger a
|
||
PendingDeprecationWarning.

(Awaitable, AsyncIterable, AsyncIterator) have been added (in fact
|
||
they made it into 3.5.1 but were never mentioned).
|
||
|

||
|
||
Release date: 2016-05-16
|
||
|
||
Core and Builtins
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20041: Fixed TypeError when frame.f_trace is set to None.
|
||
Patch by Xavier de Gaye.

||
|
||
- Issue #26168: Fixed possible refleaks in failing Py_BuildValue() with the "N"
|
||
format unit.

||
|
||
- Issue #26991: Fix possible refleak when creating a function with annotations.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #27039: Fixed bytearray.remove() for values greater than 127. Based on
|
||
patch by Joe Jevnik.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #23640: int.from_bytes() no longer bypasses constructors for subclasses.
|
||
|
||

||
|
||
- Issue #26811: gc.get_objects() no longer contains a broken tuple with NULL
|
||
pointer.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20120: Use RawConfigParser for .pypirc parsing,
|
||
removing support for interpolation unintentionally added
|
||
with move to Python 3. Behavior no longer does any
|
||
interpolation in .pypirc files, matching behavior in Python
|
||
2.7 and Setuptools 19.0.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26249: Memory functions of the :c:func:`PyMem_Malloc` domain
|
||
(:c:data:`PYMEM_DOMAIN_MEM`) now use the :ref:`pymalloc allocator <pymalloc>`
|
||
rather than system :c:func:`malloc`. Applications calling
|
||
:c:func:`PyMem_Malloc` without holding the GIL can now crash: use
|
||
``PYTHONMALLOC=debug`` environment variable to validate the usage of memory
|
||
allocators in your application.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26802: Optimize function calls only using unpacking like
|
||
``func(*tuple)`` (no other positional argument, no keyword): avoid copying

|
||
error handler for stdin and stdout.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26494: Fixed crash on iterating exhausting iterators.
|
||
Affected classes are generic sequence iterators, iterators of str, bytes,
|
||
bytearray, list, tuple, set, frozenset, dict, OrderedDict, corresponding
|
||
views and os.scandir() iterator.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26574: Optimize ``bytes.replace(b'', b'.')`` and
|
||
``bytearray.replace(b'', b'.')``. Patch written by Josh Snider.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26581: If coding cookie is specified multiple times on a line in
|
||
Python source code file, only the first one is taken to account.
|

|
||
|
||
- Issue #26563: Debug hooks on Python memory allocators now raise a fatal
|
||
error if functions of the :c:func:`PyMem_Malloc` family are called without
|
||
holding the GIL.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26564: On error, the debug hooks on Python memory allocators now use
|
||
the :mod:`tracemalloc` module to get the traceback where a memory block was
|
||
allocated.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26558: The debug hooks on Python memory allocator
|
||
:c:func:`PyObject_Malloc` now detect when functions are called without
|
||
holding the GIL.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26516: Add :envvar:`PYTHONMALLOC` environment variable to set the
|
||
Python memory allocators and/or install debug hooks.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26516: The :c:func:`PyMem_SetupDebugHooks` function can now also be
|
||
used on Python compiled in release mode.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26516: The :envvar:`PYTHONMALLOCSTATS` environment variable can now
|
||
also be used on Python compiled in release mode. It now has no effect if
|
||
set to an empty string.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26516: In debug mode, debug hooks are now also installed on Python
|
||
memory allocators when Python is configured without pymalloc.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26464: Fix str.translate() when string is ASCII and first replacements
|
||
removes character, but next replacement uses a non-ASCII character or a
|
||
string longer than 1 character. Regression introduced in Python 3.5.0.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #22836: Ensure exception reports from PyErr_Display() and
|
||
PyErr_WriteUnraisable() are sensible even when formatting them produces
|
||
secondary errors. This affects the reports produced by
|
||
sys.__excepthook__() and when __del__() raises an exception.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26302: Correct behavior to reject comma as a legal character for
|
||
cookie names.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26136: Upgrade the warning when a generator raises StopIteration
|
||
from PendingDeprecationWarning to DeprecationWarning. Patch by Anish
|
||
Shah.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26204: The compiler now ignores all constant statements: bytes, str,
|
||
int, float, complex, name constants (None, False, True), Ellipsis
|
||
and ast.Constant; not only str and int. For example, ``1.0`` is now ignored
|
||
in ``def f(): 1.0``.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #4806: Avoid masking the original TypeError exception when using star
|
||
(*) unpacking in function calls. Based on patch by Hagen Fürstenau and
|
||
Daniel Urban.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26146: Add a new kind of AST node: ``ast.Constant``. It can be used
|
||
by external AST optimizers, but the compiler does not emit directly such
|
||
node.
|
||
|
||

|
||
small object allocator. (Contributed by Julian Taylor.)

|
||
import is attempted without a known parent package.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25843: When compiling code, don't merge constants if they are equal
|
||
but have a different types. For example, ``f1, f2 = lambda: 1, lambda: 1.0``
|
||
is now correctly compiled to two different functions: ``f1()`` returns ``1``
|
||
(``int``) and ``f2()`` returns ``1.0`` (``float``), even if ``1`` and ``1.0``
|
||
are equal.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26107: The format of the ``co_lnotab`` attribute of code objects
|
||
changes to support negative line number delta.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #26154: Add a new private _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() function to get
|
||
the current Python thread state, but don't issue a fatal error if it is NULL.
|
||
This new function must be used instead of accessing directly the
|
||
_PyThreadState_Current variable. The variable is no more exposed since
|
||
Python 3.5.1 to hide the exact implementation of atomic C types, to avoid
|
||
compiler issues.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25791: If __package__ != __spec__.parent or if neither __package__ or
|
||
__spec__ are defined then ImportWarning is raised.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #22995: [UPDATE] Comment out the one of the pickleability tests in

starting with two underscores.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #22995: Instances of extension types with a state that aren't
|
||
subclasses of list or dict and haven't implemented any pickle-related
|
||
methods (__reduce__, __reduce_ex__, __getnewargs__, __getnewargs_ex__,
|
||
or __getstate__), can no longer be pickled. Including memoryview.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20440: Massive replacing unsafe attribute setting code with special
|
||
macro Py_SETREF.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25766: Special method __bytes__() now works in str subclasses.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25421: __sizeof__ methods of builtin types now use dynamic basic size.
|
||

||
- Issue #25003: On Solaris 11.3 or newer, os.urandom() now uses the
|
||
getrandom() function instead of the getentropy() function. The getentropy()
|
||
function is blocking to generate very good quality entropy, os.urandom()
|
||
doesn't need such high-quality entropy.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #9232: Modify Python's grammar to allow trailing commas in the

||
a query string. Original fix by Ján Janech.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17214: The "urllib.request" module now percent-encodes non-ASCII
|
||
bytes found in redirect target URLs. Some servers send Location header
|
||
fields with non-ASCII bytes, but "http.client" requires the request target
|
||
to be ASCII-encodable, otherwise a UnicodeEncodeError is raised. Based on
|
||
patch by Christian Heimes.
|
||
|

|
||
for identity before checking equality. This better matches the behavior
|
||
of the concrete classes, allows sensible handling of NaNs, and makes it
|
||
easier to reason about container invariants.

||
|
||
- Issue #26711: Fixed the comparison of plistlib.Data with other types.

|
||
- Issue #25626: Change three zlib functions to accept sizes that fit in

||
Py_ssize_t, but internally cap those sizes to UINT_MAX. This resolves a

||
regression in 3.5 where GzipFile.read() failed to read chunks larger than 2
|
||
or 4 GiB. The change affects the zlib.Decompress.decompress() max_length

|
||
Patch by Saimadhav Heblikar.
|
||
|
||
- In the 'IDLE-console differences' section of the IDLE doc, clarify
|
||
how running with IDLE affects sys.modules and the standard streams.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
- Issue #15348: Stop the debugger engine (normally in a user process)
|
||
before closing the debugger window (running in the IDLE process).
|
||
This prevents the RuntimeErrors that were being caught and ignored.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #24455: Prevent IDLE from hanging when a) closing the shell while the
|
||
debugger is active (15347); b) closing the debugger with the [X] button
|
||
(15348); and c) activating the debugger when already active (24455).
|
||
The patch by Mark Roseman does this by making two changes.
|
||
1. Suspend and resume the gui.interaction method with the tcl vwait
|
||
mechanism intended for this purpose (instead of root.mainloop & .quit).
|
||
2. In gui.run, allow any existing interaction to terminate first.
|
||
|
||
- Change 'The program' to 'Your program' in an IDLE 'kill program?' message
|
||
to make it clearer that the program referred to is the currently running
|
||
user program, not IDLE itself.

||
|
||
- Issue #22726: Re-activate the config dialog help button with some content
|
||
about the other buttons and the new IDLE Dark theme.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #24820: IDLE now has an 'IDLE Dark' built-in text color theme.
|
||
It is more or less IDLE Classic inverted, with a cobalt blue background.
|
||
Strings, comments, keywords, ... are still green, red, orange, ... .
|
||
To use it with IDLEs released before November 2015, hit the
|
||
'Save as New Custom Theme' button and enter a new name,
|
||
such as 'Custom Dark'. The custom theme will work with any IDLE
|
||
release, and can be modified.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25224: README.txt is now an idlelib index for IDLE developers and
|
||

What's New in Python 3.5.1 release candidate 1?
|
||
===============================================
|
||
|
||
Release date: 2015-11-22
|
||
|
||
Core and Builtins
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25630: Fix a possible segfault during argument parsing in functions
|
||
that accept filesystem paths.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #23564: Fixed a partially broken sanity check in the _posixsubprocess
|
||
internals regarding how fds_to_pass were passed to the child. The bug had
|
||
no actual impact as subprocess.py already avoided it.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25388: Fixed tokenizer crash when processing undecodable source code
|
||
with a null byte.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25462: The hash of the key now is calculated only once in most
|
||
operations in C implementation of OrderedDict.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #22995: Default implementation of __reduce__ and __reduce_ex__ now
|
||
rejects builtin types with not defined __new__.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25555: Fix parser and AST: fill lineno and col_offset of "arg" node
|
||
when compiling AST from Python objects.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #24802: Avoid buffer overreads when int(), float(), compile(), exec()
|
||
and eval() are passed bytes-like objects. These objects are not
|
||
necessarily terminated by a null byte, but the functions assumed they were.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #24726: Fixed a crash and leaking NULL in repr() of OrderedDict that
|
||
was mutated by direct calls of dict methods.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25449: Iterating OrderedDict with keys with unstable hash now raises
|
||
KeyError in C implementations as well as in Python implementation.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25395: Fixed crash when highly nested OrderedDict structures were
|
||
garbage collected.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25274: sys.setrecursionlimit() now raises a RecursionError if the new
|
||
recursion limit is too low depending at the current recursion depth. Modify
|
||
also the "lower-water mark" formula to make it monotonic. This mark is used
|
||
to decide when the overflowed flag of the thread state is reset.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #24402: Fix input() to prompt to the redirected stdout when
|
||
sys.stdout.fileno() fails.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #24806: Prevent builtin types that are not allowed to be subclassed from
|
||
being subclassed through multiple inheritance.

||
|
||
- Issue #24848: Fixed a number of bugs in UTF-7 decoding of misformed data.
|
||
|
||

|
||
longer formatted twice.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25003: On Solaris 11.3 or newer, os.urandom() now uses the
|
||
getrandom() function instead of the getentropy() function. The getentropy()
|
||
function is blocking to generate very good quality entropy, os.urandom()
|
||
doesn't need such high-quality entropy.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25182: The stdprinter (used as sys.stderr before the io module is
|
||
imported at startup) now uses the backslashreplace error handler.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25131: Make the line number and column offset of set/dict literals and
|
||
comprehensions correspond to the opening brace.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25150: Hide the private _Py_atomic_xxx symbols from the public
|
||
Python.h header to fix a compilation error with OpenMP. PyThreadState_GET()
|
||
becomes an alias to PyThreadState_Get() to avoid ABI incompatibilies.
|
||
|
||
Library
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25626: Change three zlib functions to accept sizes that fit in
|
||
Py_ssize_t, but internally cap those sizes to UINT_MAX. This resolves a
|
||
regression in 3.5 where GzipFile.read() failed to read chunks larger than 2
|
||
or 4 GiB. The change affects the zlib.Decompress.decompress() max_length
|
||
parameter, the zlib.decompress() bufsize parameter, and the
|
||
zlib.Decompress.flush() length parameter.
|
||

||
|
||
- Issue #25590: In the Readline completer, only call getattr() once per
|
||
attribute.
|
||
|
||

|
||

||
|
||
- Issue #25584: Added "escape" to the __all__ list in the glob module.

|
||
Python 3.6.
|

||
pickletools.opcodes.
|
||
|

|
||
and reuseaddr socket options to be set prior to binding the socket.
|
||
Mirroring the existing asyncio create_server method the reuseaddr option
|
||
for datagram sockets defaults to True if the O/S is 'posix' (except if the
|
||
platform is Cygwin). Patch by Chris Laws.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25304: Add asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe(). This lets you
|
||
submit a coroutine to a loop from another thread, returning a
|
||
concurrent.futures.Future. By Vincent Michel.
|
||
|
||

|
||
query part of the URL as if it were a path. Patch from Xiang Zhang.
|
||

||
- Issue #24483: C implementation of functools.lru_cache() now calculates key's
|
||
hash only once.

opcodes no longer silently ignored on 32-bit platforms in C implementation.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25034: Fix string.Formatter problem with auto-numbering and
|
||
nested format_specs. Patch by Anthon van der Neut.
|
||

|
||
asyncio.Semaphore to be more understandable and correct.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25203: Failed readline.set_completer_delims() no longer left the
|
||
module in inconsistent state.

|
||
wrong results in some cases.
|
||
|
||

|
||
LibreSSL.

||
- Prevent overflow in _Unpickler_Read.
|

|
||
EINVAL.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #23517: Fix rounding in fromtimestamp() and utcfromtimestamp() methods
|
||
of datetime.datetime: microseconds are now rounded to nearest with ties
|
||
going to nearest even integer (ROUND_HALF_EVEN), instead of being rounding
|
||
towards minus infinity (ROUND_FLOOR). It's important that these methods use
|
||
the same rounding mode than datetime.timedelta to keep the property:
|
||
(datetime(1970,1,1) + timedelta(seconds=t)) == datetime.utcfromtimestamp(t).
|
||
It also the rounding mode used by round(float) for example.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25155: Fix datetime.datetime.now() and datetime.datetime.utcnow() on
|
||
Windows to support date after year 2038. It was a regression introduced in
|
||

- Issue #25118: Fix a regression of Python 3.5.0 in os.waitpid() on Windows.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #24684: socket.socket.getaddrinfo() now calls
|
||
PyUnicode_AsEncodedString() instead of calling the encode() method of the
|
||
host, to handle correctly custom string with an encode() method which doesn't
|
||
return a byte string. The encoder of the IDNA codec is now called directly
|
||
instead of calling the encode() method of the string.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25060: Correctly compute stack usage of the BUILD_MAP opcode.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #24857: Comparing call_args to a long sequence now correctly returns a
|
||
boolean result instead of raising an exception. Patch by A Kaptur.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #23144: Make sure that HTMLParser.feed() returns all the data, even
|
||
when convert_charrefs is True.
|

|
||
exception. Initial patch written by Marco Paolini.

|
||
collection) in collections.OrderedDict constructor.

IDLE
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
- Issue #15348: Stop the debugger engine (normally in a user process)
|
||
before closing the debugger window (running in the IDLE process).
|
||
This prevents the RuntimeErrors that were being caught and ignored.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #24455: Prevent IDLE from hanging when a) closing the shell while the
|
||
debugger is active (15347); b) closing the debugger with the [X] button
|
||
(15348); and c) activating the debugger when already active (24455).
|
||
The patch by Mark Roseman does this by making two changes.
|
||
1. Suspend and resume the gui.interaction method with the tcl vwait
|
||
mechanism intended for this purpose (instead of root.mainloop & .quit).
|
||
2. In gui.run, allow any existing interaction to terminate first.
|
||
|
||
- Change 'The program' to 'Your program' in an IDLE 'kill program?' message
|
||
to make it clearer that the program referred to is the currently running
|
||
user program, not IDLE itself.

||
- Issue #24782: Extension configuration is now a tab in the IDLE Preferences
|

|
||
|
||
- Issue #22726: Re-activate the config dialog help button with some content
|
||
about the other buttons and the new IDLE Dark theme.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #24820: IDLE now has an 'IDLE Dark' built-in text color theme.
|
||
It is more or less IDLE Classic inverted, with a cobalt blue background.
|
||
Strings, comments, keywords, ... are still green, red, orange, ... .
|
||
To use it with IDLEs released before November 2015, hit the
|
||
'Save as New Custom Theme' button and enter a new name,
|
||
such as 'Custom Dark'. The custom theme will work with any IDLE
|
||
release, and can be modified.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25224: README.txt is now an idlelib index for IDLE developers and
|
||
curious users. The previous user content is now in the IDLE doc chapter.

|
||
For Mac OSX, make them a 'sheet'. Patch by Mark Roseman.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #25198: Enhance the initial html viewer now used for Idle Help.
|
||
* Properly indent fixed-pitch text (patch by Mark Roseman).
|
||
* Give code snippet a very Sphinx-like light blueish-gray background.
|
||
* Re-use initial width and height set by users for shell and editor.
|
||
* When the Table of Contents (TOC) menu is used, put the section header

|
||
- Issue #25199: Idle: add synchronization comments for future maintainers.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #16893: Replace help.txt with help.html for Idle doc display.
|
||
The new idlelib/help.html is rstripped Doc/build/html/library/idle.html.
|
||
It looks better than help.txt and will better document Idle as released.
|
||
The tkinter html viewer that works for this file was written by Mark Roseman.
|
||
The now unused EditorWindow.HelpDialog class and helt.txt file are deprecated.
|

|
||
-----------------
|

|
||
works only for 'async def' coroutines; inspect.iscoroutine no longer
|
||
uses collections.abc.Coroutine, it's intended to test for pure 'async def'
|
||
coroutines only; add new opcode: GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER; fix generators wrapper
|
||
used in types.coroutine to be instance of collections.abc.Generator;

|
||
instead.

||
- Issue #21859: Added Python implementation of io.FileIO.
|
||
|

|
||
result of sendto() instead of the C int type.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #23618: :meth:`socket.socket.connect` now waits until the connection
|
||
completes instead of raising :exc:`InterruptedError` if the connection is
|
||
interrupted by signals, signal handlers don't raise an exception and the
|
||
socket is blocking or has a timeout. :meth:`socket.socket.connect` still
|
||
raise :exc:`InterruptedError` for non-blocking sockets.
|

|
||
|
||
- Issue #23752: When built from an existing file descriptor, io.FileIO() now
|
||
only calls fstat() once. Before fstat() was called twice, which was not
|
||
necessary.
|
||
|

|
||
(empty) definition of the methoddef macro: it's only generated once, even
|
||
if Argument Clinic processes the same symbol multiple times, and it's emitted
|
||
at the end of all processing rather than immediately after the first use.

||
|
||
- Issue #23573: Increased performance of string search operations (str.find,

||
arguments of different kinds (UCS1, UCS2, UCS4).
|
||
|
||
- Issue #23753: Python doesn't support anymore platforms without stat() or

|
||
now is non-modifiable mapping.
|
||
|
||

|
||
as repr().

|
||
creation) mode.
|
||
|

|
||
in Python 3.6.
|
||

|
||
- Issue #23491: Added a zipapp module to support creating executable zip

|
||
and socket open until the garbage collector cleans them up. Patch by
|
||
Martin Panter.
|
||

|
||
now retried when interrupted by a signal not in the *sigset* parameter, if

||
importing a test module is now picklable.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #22181: On Linux, os.urandom() now uses the new getrandom() syscall if
|
||
available, syscall introduced in the Linux kernel 3.17. It is more reliable
|
||
and more secure, because it avoids the need of a file descriptor and waits
|
||
until the kernel has enough entropy.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #2211: Updated the implementation of the http.cookies.Morsel class.
|
||
Setting attributes key, value and coded_value directly now is deprecated.
|
||
update() and setdefault() now transform and check keys. Comparing for

||
Optimized checking keys and quoting values. Added new tests.

|
||
handle exceptions raised by an iterator. Patch by Alon Diamant and Davin
|
||
Potts.

|
||
descriptors. Patch by Wei Wu.

|
||
variables when frame.clear() has been called.
|
||

||
- Issue #21205: Add a new ``__qualname__`` attribute to generator, the
|
||
qualified name, and use it in the representation of a generator
|
||
(``repr(gen)``). The default name of the generator (``__name__`` attribute)
|
||
is now get from the function instead of the code. Use ``gen.gi_code.co_name``

statements.

||
|
||
- Issue #21523: Fix over-pessimistic computation of the stack effect of

|
||
time issue noticeable when compiling code with a large number of "and"
|
||
and "or" operators.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #21418: Fix a crash in the builtin function super() when called without
|
||
argument and without current frame (ex: embedded Python).
|
||
|
||
- Issue #21425: Fix flushing of standard streams in the interactive
|
||
interpreter.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #21435: In rare cases, when running finalizers on objects in cyclic
|
||
trash a bad pointer dereference could occur due to a subtle flaw in
|
||
internal iteration logic.

Original patch by Tal Einat.
|
||
|

- Issue #16233: A module browser (File : Class Browser, Alt+C) requires an
|
||
editor window with a filename. When Class Browser is requested otherwise,
|
||
from a shell, output window, or 'Untitled' editor, Idle no longer displays
|
||
an error box. It now pops up an Open Module box (Alt+M). If a valid name
|

is entered and a module is opened, a corresponding browser is also opened.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #4832: Save As to type Python files automatically adds .py to the

|
||
consolidating and improving human-validated tests of Idle. Change other files
|
||
as needed to work with htest. Running the module as __main__ runs all tests.
|

Build
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
- Issue #15506: Use standard PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG autoconf macro in the configure
|
||
script.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #22935: Allow the ssl module to be compiled if openssl doesn't support
|
||
SSL 3.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #22592: Drop support of the Borland C compiler to build Python. The
|
||
distutils module still supports it to build extensions.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #22591: Drop support of MS-DOS, especially of the DJGPP compiler
|
||
(MS-DOS port of GCC).
|
||
|

- Issue #16537: Check whether self.extensions is empty in setup.py. Patch by
|
||
Jonathan Hosmer.
|

- Issue #21958: Define HAVE_ROUND when building with Visual Studio 2013 and
|
||
above. Patch by Zachary Turner.
|

|
||
- Issue #18093: the programs that embed the CPython runtime are now in a
|
||
separate "Programs" directory, rather than being kept in the Modules
|
||
directory.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #15759: "make suspicious", "make linkcheck" and "make doctest" in Doc/
|
||
now display special message when and only when there are failures.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #21141: The Windows build process no longer attempts to find Perl,
|
||
instead relying on OpenSSL source being configured and ready to build. The
|
||
``PCbuild\build_ssl.py`` script has been re-written and re-named to
|
||
``PCbuild\prepare_ssl.py``, and takes care of configuring OpenSSL source
|
||
for both 32 and 64 bit platforms. OpenSSL sources obtained from
|
||
svn.python.org will always be pre-configured and ready to build.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #21037: Add a build option to enable AddressSanitizer support.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19962: The Windows build process now creates "python.bat" in the
|
||
root of the source tree, which passes all arguments through to the most
|
||
recently built interpreter.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #21285: Refactor and fix curses configure check to always search
|
||
in a ncursesw directory.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #15234: For BerkelyDB and Sqlite, only add the found library and
|
||
include directories if they aren't already being searched. This avoids
|
||
an explicit runtime library dependency.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17861: Tools/scripts/generate_opcode_h.py automatically regenerates
|
||
Include/opcode.h from Lib/opcode.py if the latter gets any change.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20644: OS X installer build support for documentation build changes
|
||
in 3.4.1: assume externally supplied sphinx-build is available in /usr/bin.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20022: Eliminate use of deprecated bundlebuilder in OS X builds.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #15968: Incorporated Tcl, Tk, and Tix builds into the Windows build
|
||

||
which will be used for the official release.

|
||
|
||
- Issue #17128: Use private version of OpenSSL for OS X 10.5+ installer.
|
||
|
||
C API
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
- Issue #14203: Remove obsolete support for view==NULL in PyBuffer_FillInfo(),
|
||
bytearray_getbuffer(), bytesiobuf_getbuffer() and array_buffer_getbuf().
|
||
All functions now raise BufferError in that case.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #22445: PyBuffer_IsContiguous() now implements precise contiguity
|
||
tests, compatible with NumPy's NPY_RELAXED_STRIDES_CHECKING compilation
|
||
flag. Previously the function reported false negatives for corner cases.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #22079: PyType_Ready() now checks that statically allocated type has
|
||
no dynamically allocated bases.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #22453: Removed non-documented macro PyObject_REPR().
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18395: Rename ``_Py_char2wchar()`` to :c:func:`Py_DecodeLocale`,
|
||
rename ``_Py_wchar2char()`` to :c:func:`Py_EncodeLocale`, and document
|
||
these functions.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #21233: Add new C functions: PyMem_RawCalloc(), PyMem_Calloc(),
|
||
PyObject_Calloc(), _PyObject_GC_Calloc(). bytes(int) is now using
|
||
``calloc()`` instead of ``malloc()`` for large objects which is faster and
|
||
use less memory.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20942: PyImport_ImportFrozenModuleObject() no longer sets __file__ to
|
||
match what importlib does; this affects _frozen_importlib as well as any
|
||
module loaded using imp.init_frozen().
|
||
|
||
Documentation
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19548: Update the codecs module documentation to better cover the
|
||

||
clarifications. Patch by Martin Panter.

||
|
||
- Issue #22394: Doc/Makefile now supports ``make venv PYTHON=../python`` to
|
||

``make html PYTHON=venv/bin/python3``.
|
||
|
||

|
||
7159 instead of obsoleted RFC 4627.
|
||
|

|
||

||
mention the ability to load the OS certificates.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20765: Add missing documentation for PurePath.with_name() and
|
||
PurePath.with_suffix().
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19407: New package installation and distribution guides based on
|
||
the Python Packaging Authority tools. Existing guides have been retained
|
||
as legacy links from the distutils docs, as they still contain some
|
||
required reference material for tool developers that isn't recorded
|
||
anywhere else.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19697: Document cases where __main__.__spec__ is None.
|

Core and Builtins
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20625: Parameter names in __annotations__ were not mangled properly.
|
||
Discovered by Jonas Wielicki, patch by Yury Selivanov.
|

|
||
shutdown.
|
||
|
||
Library
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20710: The pydoc summary line no longer displays the "self" parameter
|
||
for bound methods.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20566: Change asyncio.as_completed() to use a Queue, to
|
||
avoid O(N**2) behavior.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20704: Implement new debug API in asyncio. Add new methods
|
||
BaseEventLoop.set_debug() and BaseEventLoop.get_debug().
|
||
Add support for setting 'asyncio.tasks._DEBUG' variable with
|
||
'PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG' environment variable.
|
||
|
||
- asyncio: Refactoring and fixes: BaseEventLoop.sock_connect() raises an
|
||
error if the address is not resolved; use __slots__ in Handle and
|
||
TimerHandle; as_completed() and wait() raise TypeError if the passed
|
||
list of Futures is a single Future; call_soon() and other 'call_*()'
|
||
functions raise TypeError if the passed callback is a coroutine
|
||
function; _ProactorBasePipeTransport uses _FlowControlMixin;
|
||
WriteTransport.set_write_buffer_size() calls _maybe_pause_protocol()
|
||
to consider pausing receiving if the watermark limits have changed;
|
||
fix _check_resolved_address() for IPv6 address; and other minor
|
||
improvements, along with multiple documentation updates.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20684: Fix inspect.getfullargspec() to not to follow __wrapped__
|
||
chains. Make its behaviour consistent with bound methods first argument.
|
||
Patch by Nick Coghlan and Yury Selivanov.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20681: Add new error handling API in asyncio. New APIs:
|
||
loop.set_exception_handler(), loop.default_exception_handler(), and
|
||
loop.call_exception_handler().
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20673: Implement support for UNIX Domain Sockets in asyncio.
|
||
New APIs: loop.create_unix_connection(), loop.create_unix_server(),
|
||
streams.open_unix_connection(), and streams.start_unix_server().
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20616: Add a format() method to tracemalloc.Traceback.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19744: the ensurepip installation step now just prints a warning to
|
||
stderr rather than failing outright if SSL/TLS is unavailable. This allows
|
||
local installation of POSIX builds without SSL/TLS support.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20594: Avoid name clash with the libc function posix_close.
|
||
|

|
||
Release date: 2014-02-10
|
||
|
||
Core and Builtins
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19255: The builtins module is restored to initial value before
|
||
cleaning other modules. The sys and builtins modules are cleaned last.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20588: Make Python-ast.c C89 compliant.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20437: Fixed 22 potential bugs when deleting object references.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20500: Displaying an exception at interpreter shutdown no longer
|
||
risks triggering an assertion failure in PyObject_Str.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20538: UTF-7 incremental decoder produced inconsistent string when
|
||
input was truncated in BASE64 section.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20404: io.TextIOWrapper (and hence the open() builtin) now uses the
|
||
internal codec marking system added for issue #19619 to throw LookupError
|
||
for known non-text encodings at stream construction time. The existing
|
||
output type checks remain in place to deal with unmarked third party
|
||
codecs.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17162: Add PyType_GetSlot.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20162: Fix an alignment issue in the siphash24() hash function which
|
||
caused a crash on PowerPC 64-bit (ppc64).
|
||
|
||
Library
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20530: The signatures for slot builtins have been updated
|
||
to reflect the fact that they only accept positional-only arguments.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20517: Functions in the os module that accept two filenames
|
||
now register both filenames in the exception on failure.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20563: The ipaddress module API is now considered stable.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #14983: email.generator now always adds a line end after each MIME
|
||
boundary marker, instead of doing so only when there is an epilogue. This
|
||
fixes an RFC compliance bug and solves an issue with signed MIME parts.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20540: Fix a performance regression (vs. Python 3.2) when layering
|
||
a multiprocessing Connection over a TCP socket. For small payloads, Nagle's
|
||
algorithm would introduce idle delays before the entire transmission of a
|
||
message.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #16983: the new email header parsing code will now decode encoded words
|
||
that are (incorrectly) surrounded by quotes, and register a defect.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19772: email.generator no longer mutates the message object when
|
||
doing a down-transform from 8bit to 7bit CTEs.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20536: the statistics module now correctly handle Decimal instances
|
||
with positive exponents
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18805: the netmask/hostmask parsing in ipaddress now more reliably
|
||
filters out illegal values and correctly allows any valid prefix length.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20481: For at least Python 3.4, the statistics module will require
|
||
that all inputs for a single operation be of a single consistent type, or
|
||
else a mixed of ints and a single other consistent type. This avoids
|
||
some interoperability issues that arose with the previous approach of
|
||
coercing to a suitable common type.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20478: the statistics module now treats collections.Counter inputs
|
||
like any other iterable.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17369: get_filename was raising an exception if the filename
|
||
parameter's RFC2231 encoding was broken in certain ways. This was
|
||
a regression relative to python2.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20013: Some imap servers disconnect if the current mailbox is
|
||
deleted, and imaplib did not handle that case gracefully. Now it
|
||
handles the 'bye' correctly.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20531: Revert 3.4 version of fix for #19063, and apply the 3.3
|
||
version. That is, do *not* raise an error if unicode is passed to
|
||
email.message.Message.set_payload.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20476: If a non-compat32 policy is used with any of the email parsers,
|
||
EmailMessage is now used as the factory class. The factory class should
|
||
really come from the policy; that will get fixed in 3.5.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19920: TarFile.list() no longer fails when outputs a listing
|
||
containing non-encodable characters. Based on patch by Vajrasky Kok.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20515: Fix NULL pointer dereference introduced by issue #20368.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19186: Restore namespacing of expat symbols inside the pyexpat module.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20053: ensurepip (and hence venv) are no longer affected by the
|
||
settings in the default pip configuration file.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20426: When passing the re.DEBUG flag, re.compile() displays the
|
||
debug output every time it is called, regardless of the compilation cache.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20368: The null character now correctly passed from Tcl to Python.
|
||
Improved error handling in variables-related commands.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20435: Fix _pyio.StringIO.getvalue() to take into account newline
|
||
translation settings.
|
||
|
||
- tracemalloc: Fix slicing traces and fix slicing a traceback.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20354: Fix an alignment issue in the tracemalloc module on 64-bit
|
||
platforms. Bug seen on 64-bit Linux when using "make profile-opt".
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17159: inspect.signature now accepts duck types of functions,
|
||
which adds support for Cython functions. Initial patch by Stefan Behnel.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18801: Fix inspect.classify_class_attrs to correctly classify
|
||
object.__new__ and object.__init__.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed cmath.isinf's name in its argument parsing code.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20311, #20452: poll and epoll now round the timeout away from zero,
|
||
instead of rounding towards zero, in select and selectors modules:
|
||
select.epoll.poll(), selectors.PollSelector.poll() and
|
||
selectors.EpollSelector.poll(). For example, a timeout of one microsecond
|
||
(1e-6) is now rounded to one millisecondi (1e-3), instead of being rounded to
|
||
zero. However, the granularity property and asyncio's resolution feature
|
||
were removed again.
|
||
|
||
- asyncio: Some refactoring; various fixes; add write flow control to
|
||
unix pipes; Future.set_exception() instantiates the exception
|
||
argument if it is a class; improved proactor pipe transport; support
|
||
wait_for(f, None); don't log broken/disconnected pipes; use
|
||
ValueError instead of assert for forbidden subprocess_{shell,exec}
|
||
arguments; added a convenience API for subprocess management; added
|
||
StreamReader.at_eof(); properly handle duplicate coroutines/futures
|
||
in gather(), wait(), as_completed(); use a bytearray for buffering
|
||
in StreamReader; and more.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20288: fix handling of invalid numeric charrefs in HTMLParser.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20424: Python implementation of io.StringIO now supports lone surrogates.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20308: inspect.signature now works on classes without user-defined
|
||
__init__ or __new__ methods.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20372: inspect.getfile (and a bunch of other inspect functions that
|
||
use it) doesn't crash with unexpected AttributeError on classes defined in C
|
||
without __module__.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20356: inspect.signature formatting uses '/' to separate
|
||
positional-only parameters from others.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20223: inspect.signature now supports methods defined with
|
||
functools.partialmethods.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19456: ntpath.join() now joins relative paths correctly when a drive
|
||
is present.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19077: tempfile.TemporaryDirectory cleanup no longer fails when
|
||
called during shutdown. Emitting resource warning in __del__ no longer fails.
|
||
Original patch by Antoine Pitrou.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20394: Silence Coverity warning in audioop module.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20367: Fix behavior of concurrent.futures.as_completed() for
|
||
duplicate arguments. Patch by Glenn Langford.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #8260: The read(), readline() and readlines() methods of
|
||
codecs.StreamReader returned incomplete data when were called after
|
||
readline() or read(size). Based on patch by Amaury Forgeot d'Arc.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20105: the codec exception chaining now correctly sets the
|
||
traceback of the original exception as its __traceback__ attribute.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17481: inspect.getfullargspec() now uses inspect.signature() API.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #15304: concurrent.futures.wait() can block forever even if
|
||
Futures have completed. Patch by Glenn Langford.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #14455: plistlib: fix serializing integers in the range
|
||
of an unsigned long long but outside of the range of signed long long for
|
||
binary plist files.
|
||
|
||
IDLE
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20406: Use Python application icons for Idle window title bars.
|
||
Patch mostly by Serhiy Storchaka.
|
||
|
||
- Update the python.gif icon for the Idle classbrowser and pathbowser
|
||
from the old green snake to the new blue and yellow snakes.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17721: Remove non-functional configuration dialog help button until we
|
||
make it actually gives some help when clicked. Patch by Guilherme Simões.
|
||
|
||
Tests
|
||

|
||
|
||
- Issue #20532: Tests which use _testcapi now are marked as CPython only.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19920: Added tests for TarFile.list(). Based on patch by Vajrasky Kok.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19990: Added tests for the imghdr module. Based on patch by
|
||
Claudiu Popa.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20474: Fix test_socket "unexpected success" failures on OS X 10.7+.
|
||
|
||
Tools/Demos
|
||
-----------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20530: Argument Clinic's signature format has been revised again.
|
||
The new syntax is highly human readable while still preventing false
|
||
positives. The syntax also extends Python syntax to denote "self" and
|
||
positional-only parameters, allowing inspect.Signature objects to be
|
||
totally accurate for all supported builtins in Python 3.4.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20456: Argument Clinic now observes the C preprocessor conditional
|
||
compilation statements of the C files it parses. When a Clinic block is
|
||
inside a conditional code, it adjusts its output to match, including
|
||
automatically generating an empty methoddef macro.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20456: Cloned functions in Argument Clinic now use the correct
|
||
name, not the name of the function they were cloned from, for text
|
||
strings inside generated code.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20456: Fixed Argument Clinic's test suite and "--converters" feature.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20456: Argument Clinic now allows specifying different names
|
||
for a parameter in Python and C, using "as" on the parameter line.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now uses a simple, unique signature to
|
||
annotate text signatures in docstrings, resulting in fewer false
|
||
positives. "self" parameters are also explicitly marked, allowing
|
||
inspect.Signature() to authoritatively detect (and skip) said parameters.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now generates separate checksums for the
|
||
input and output sections of the block, allowing external tools to verify
|
||
that the input has not changed (and thus the output is not out-of-date).
|
||
|
||
Build
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20465: Update SQLite shipped with OS X installer to 3.8.3.
|
||
|
||
C-API
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20517: Added new functions allowing OSError exceptions to reference
|
||
two filenames instead of one: PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObjects() and
|
||
PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObjects().
|
||
|
||
Documentation
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20488: Change wording to say importlib is *the* implementation of
|
||
import instead of just *an* implementation.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #6386: Clarify in the tutorial that specifying a symlink to execute
|
||
means the directory containing the executed script and not the symlink is
|
||
added to sys.path.
|
||
|
||
|
||
What's New in Python 3.4.0 Beta 3?
|
||
==================================
|
||
|
||
Release date: 2014-01-26
|
||
|
||
Core and Builtins
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20189: Four additional builtin types (PyTypeObject,
|
||
PyMethodDescr_Type, _PyMethodWrapper_Type, and PyWrapperDescr_Type)
|
||
have been modified to provide introspection information for builtins.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17825: Cursor "^" is correctly positioned for SyntaxError and
|
||
IndentationError.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #2382: SyntaxError cursor "^" is now written at correct position in most
|
||
cases when multibyte characters are in line (before "^"). This still not
|
||
works correctly with wide East Asian characters.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18960: The first line of Python script could be executed twice when
|
||
the source encoding was specified on the second line. Now the source encoding
|
||
declaration on the second line isn't effective if the first line contains
|
||
anything except a comment. 'python -x' works now again with files with the
|
||
source encoding declarations, and can be used to make Python batch files
|
||
on Windows.
|
||
|
||
Library
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
- asyncio: Various improvements and small changes not all covered by
|
||
issues listed below. E.g. wait_for() now cancels the inner task if
|
||
the timeout occcurs; tweaked the set of exported symbols; renamed
|
||
Empty/Full to QueueEmpty/QueueFull; "with (yield from lock)" now
|
||
uses a separate context manager; readexactly() raises if not enough
|
||
data was read; PTY support tweaks.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20311: asyncio: Add a granularity attribute to BaseEventLoop: maximum
|
||
between the resolution of the BaseEventLoop.time() method and the resolution
|
||
of the selector. The granuarility is used in the scheduler to round time and
|
||
deadline.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20311: selectors: Add a resolution attribute to BaseSelector.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20189: unittest.mock now no longer assumes that any object for
|
||
which it could get an inspect.Signature is a callable written in Python.
|
||
Fix courtesy of Michael Foord.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20317: ExitStack.__exit__ could create a self-referential loop if an
|
||
exception raised by a cleanup operation already had its context set
|
||
correctly (for example, by the @contextmanager decorator). The infinite
|
||
loop this caused is now avoided by checking if the expected context is
|
||
already set before trying to fix it.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20374: Fix build with GNU readline >= 6.3.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20262: Warnings are raised now when duplicate names are added in the
|
||
ZIP file or too long ZIP file comment is truncated.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20165: The unittest module no longer considers tests marked with
|
||
@expectedFailure successful if they pass.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18574: Added missing newline in 100-Continue reply from
|
||
http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler. Patch by Nikolaus Rath.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20270: urllib.urlparse now supports empty ports.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20243: TarFile no longer raise ReadError when opened in write mode.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20238: TarFile opened with external fileobj and "w:gz" mode didn't
|
||
write complete output on close.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20245: The open functions in the tarfile module now correctly handle
|
||
empty mode.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20242: Fixed basicConfig() format strings for the alternative
|
||
formatting styles. Thanks to kespindler for the bug report and patch.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20246: Fix buffer overflow in socket.recvfrom_into.
|
||

with two new required arguments: "typedef" and "type_object".
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20390: Argument Clinic: If __new__ or __init__ functions didn't use

|
||
optional parameters.

What's New in Python 3.4.0 Beta 2?
|
||
==================================
|
||
|
||
Release date: 2014-01-05
|
||
|
||
Core and Builtins
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17432: Drop UCS2 from names of Unicode functions in python3.def.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19526: Exclude all new API from the stable ABI. Exceptions can be
|
||
made if a need is demonstrated.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19969: PyBytes_FromFormatV() now raises an OverflowError if "%c"
|
||
argument is not in range [0; 255].
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19995: %c, %o, %x, and %X now issue a DeprecationWarning on non-integer
|
||
input; reworded docs to clarify that an integer type should define both __int__
|
||
and __index__.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19787: PyThread_set_key_value() now always set the value. In Python
|
||
3.3, the function did nothing if the key already exists (if the current value
|
||
is a non-NULL pointer).
|
||
|
||
- Issue #14432: Remove the thread state field from the frame structure. Fix a
|
||
crash when a generator is created in a C thread that is destroyed while the
|
||
generator is still used. The issue was that a generator contains a frame, and
|
||
the frame kept a reference to the Python state of the destroyed C thread. The
|
||
crash occurs when a trace function is setup.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19576: PyGILState_Ensure() now initializes threads. At startup, Python
|
||
has no concrete GIL. If PyGILState_Ensure() is called from a new thread for
|
||
the first time and PyEval_InitThreads() was not called yet, a GIL needs to be
|
||
created.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17576: Deprecation warning emitted now when __int__() or __index__()
|
||
return not int instance.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19932: Fix typo in import.h, missing whitespaces in function prototypes.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19736: Add module-level statvfs constants defined for GNU/glibc
|
||
based systems.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #20097: Fix bad use of "self" in importlib's WindowsRegistryFinder.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19729: In str.format(), fix recursive expansion in format spec.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19638: Fix possible crash / undefined behaviour from huge (more than 2
|
||
billion characters) input strings in _Py_dg_strtod.
|
||

|
||
methods.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19744: ensurepip now provides a better error message when Python is
|
||
built without SSL/TLS support (pip currently requires that support to run,
|
||
even if only operating with local wheel files)
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19734: ensurepip now ignores all pip environment variables to avoid
|
||
odd behaviour based on user configuration settings
|
||
|
||
- Fix TypeError on "setup.py upload --show-response".
|
||
|
||

||
- Added a Task.current_task() class method to asyncio.
|

|
||
handler to limit EINTR occurrences.
|
||
|
||
- Implemented write flow control in asyncio for proactor event loop (Windows).
|
||
|
||

|
||
write()/sendto() accept bytearray/memoryview.

|
||
from X.org distribution using makelocalealias.py.

|
||
locale encodings with hyphens.
|
||
|
||

|
||
level (wrong type).

|
||
quotechar fields. Original patch by Vajrasky Kok.

|
||
Original patch by Simon Sapin.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19946: multiprocessing now uses runpy to initialize __main__ in
|
||
child processes when necessary, allowing it to correctly handle scripts
|
||
without suffixes and submodules that use explicit relative imports or
|
||
otherwise rely on parent modules being correctly imported prior to
|
||
execution.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19921: When Path.mkdir() is called with parents=True, any missing
|
||
parent is created with the default permissions, ignoring the mode argument
|
||
(mimicking the POSIX "mkdir -p" command).
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19887: Improve the Path.resolve() algorithm to support certain
|
||
symlink chains.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19912: Fixed numerous bugs in ntpath.splitunc().
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19911: ntpath.splitdrive() now correctly processes the 'İ' character
|
||
(U+0130, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE).
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19532: python -m compileall with no filename/directory arguments now
|
||
respects the -f and -q flags instead of ignoring them.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19623: Fixed writing to unseekable files in the aifc module.
|
||

|
||
Fixed integer overflow in the eventmask parameter.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19063: if a Charset's body_encoding was set to None, the email
|
||
package would generate a message claiming the Content-Transfer-Encoding
|
||
was 7bit, and produce garbage output for the content. This now works.
|
||
A couple of other set_payload mishandlings of non-ASCII are also fixed.
|
||
In addition, calling set_payload with a string argument without
|
||
specifying a charset now raises an error (this is a new error in 3.4).
|
||
|
||
- Issue #15475: Add __sizeof__ implementations for itertools objects.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19944: Fix importlib.find_spec() so it imports parents as needed

|
||
encoding with the surrogateescape error handler, instead of decoding from the
|
||
locale encoding in strict mode. It fixes the function on Fedora 19 which is
|
||
probably the first major distribution release with a non-ASCII name. Patch
|
||
written by Toshio Kuratomi.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19343: Expose FreeBSD-specific APIs in resource module. Original
|
||
patch by Koobs.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19929: Call os.read with 32768 within subprocess.Popen.communicate

||
rather than 4096 for efficiency. A microbenchmark shows Linux and OS X
|
||
both using ~50% less cpu time this way.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19506: Use a memoryview to avoid a data copy when piping data
|
||
to stdin within subprocess.Popen.communicate. 5-10% less cpu usage.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19876: selectors unregister() no longer raises ValueError or OSError
|
||
if the FD is closed (as long as it was registered).

|
||
is present. Original patch by Antoine Pitrou.

What's New in Python 3.4.0 Beta 1?
|
||
==================================
|
||
|
||
Release date: 2013-11-24
|
||
|
||
Core and Builtins
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
- Use the repr of a module name in more places in import, especially
|
||
exceptions.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19619: str.encode, bytes.decode and bytearray.decode now use an
|
||
internal API to throw LookupError for known non-text encodings, rather
|
||
than attempting the encoding or decoding operation and then throwing a
|
||
TypeError for an unexpected output type. (The latter mechanism remains
|
||
in place for third party non-text encodings)
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19183: Implement PEP 456 'secure and interchangeable hash algorithm'.
|
||
Python now uses SipHash24 on all major platforms.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #12892: The utf-16* and utf-32* encoders no longer allow surrogate code
|
||
points (U+D800-U+DFFF) to be encoded. The utf-32* decoders no longer decode
|
||
byte sequences that correspond to surrogate code points. The surrogatepass
|
||
error handler now works with the utf-16* and utf-32* codecs. Based on
|
||
patches by Victor Stinner and Kang-Hao (Kenny) Lu.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17806: Added keyword-argument support for "tabsize" to
|
||
str/bytes.expandtabs().
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17828: Output type errors in str.encode(), bytes.decode() and
|
||
bytearray.decode() now direct users to codecs.encode() or codecs.decode()
|
||
as appropriate.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17828: The interpreter now attempts to chain errors that occur in
|
||
codec processing with a replacement exception of the same type that
|
||
includes the codec name in the error message. It ensures it only does this
|
||
when the creation of the replacement exception won't lose any information.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19466: Clear the frames of daemon threads earlier during the
|
||
Python shutdown to call object destructors. So "unclosed file" resource
|
||
warnings are now correctly emitted for daemon threads.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19514: Deduplicate some _Py_IDENTIFIER declarations.
|
||
Patch by Andrei Dorian Duma.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17936: Fix O(n**2) behaviour when adding or removing many subclasses
|
||
of a given type.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19428: zipimport now handles errors when reading truncated or invalid
|
||
ZIP archive.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18408: Add a new PyFrame_FastToLocalsWithError() function to handle
|
||
exceptions when merging fast locals into f_locals of a frame.
|
||
PyEval_GetLocals() now raises an exception and return NULL on failure.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19369: Optimized the usage of __length_hint__().
|
||
|
||
- Issue #28026: Raise ImportError when exec_module() exists but
|
||
create_module() is missing.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18603: Ensure that PyOS_mystricmp and PyOS_mystrnicmp are in the
|
||
Python executable and not removed by the linker's optimizer.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19306: Add extra hints to the faulthandler module's stack
|
||
dumps that these are "upside down".
|
||
|
||

|
||
- Issue #16203: Add re.fullmatch() function and regex.fullmatch() method,
|
||

||
|
||
- Issue #19673: Add pathlib to the stdlib as a provisional module (PEP 428).
|
||
|
||
- Issue #16596: pdb in a generator now properly skips over yield and
|

yield from rather than stepping out of the generator into its
|
||
caller. (This is essential for stepping through asyncio coroutines.)
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17916: Added dis.Bytecode.from_traceback() and
|
||
dis.Bytecode.current_offset to easily display "current instruction"
|
||
markers in the new disassembly API (Patch by Claudiu Popa).
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19552: venv now supports bootstrapping pip into virtual environments
|
||
|
||
- Issue #17134: Finalize interface to Windows' certificate store. Cert and
|
||
CRL enumeration are now two functions. enum_certificates() also returns
|
||
purpose flags as set of OIDs.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19555: Restore sysconfig.get_config_var('SO'), (and the distutils
|
||
equivalent) with a DeprecationWarning pointing people at $EXT_SUFFIX.
|
||

|
||

|
||
|
||
- Issue #17276: MD5 as default digestmod for HMAC is deprecated. The HMAC
|
||
module supports digestmod names, e.g. hmac.HMAC('sha1').
|
||
|
||

Documentation
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18326: Clarify that list.sort's arguments are keyword-only. Also,
|

attempt to reduce confusion in the glossary by not saying there are
|
||
different "types" of arguments and parameters.

||
|
||
Build
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19358: "make clinic" now runs the Argument Clinic preprocessor
|
||
over all CPython source files.
|
||
|
||
- Update SQLite to 3.8.1, xz to 5.0.5, and Tcl/Tk to 8.6.1 on Windows.

|
||
for nmake.exe correctly.

- Issue #19649: On OS X, the same set of file names are now installed
|
||
in bin directories for all configurations: non-framework vs framework,
|
||
and single arch vs universal builds. pythonx.y-32 is now always
|
||
installed for 64-bit/32-bit universal builds. The obsolete and
|
||
undocumented pythonw* symlinks are no longer installed anywhere.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19553: PEP 453 - "make install" and "make altinstall" now install or
|
||
upgrade pip by default, using the bundled pip provided by the new ensurepip
|
||
module. A new configure option, --with-ensurepip[=upgrade|install|no], is
|
||
available to override the default ensurepip "--upgrade" option. The option
|
||
can also be set with "make [alt]install ENSUREPIP=[upgrade|install|no]".

What's New in Python 3.4.0 Alpha 4?
|
||
===================================
|
||
|
||
Release date: 2013-10-20
|
||
|
||
Core and Builtins
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19301: Give classes and functions that are explicitly marked global a
|
||
global qualname.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19279: UTF-7 decoder no longer produces illegal strings.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #16612: Add "Argument Clinic", a compile-time preprocessor for
|
||
C files to generate argument parsing code. (See PEP 436.)
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18810: Shift stat calls in importlib.machinery.FileFinder such that
|
||
the code is optimistic that if something exists in a directory named exactly
|
||
like the possible package being searched for that it's in actuality a
|
||
directory.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18416: importlib.machinery.PathFinder now treats '' as the cwd and
|
||
importlib.machinery.FileFinder no longer special-cases '' to '.'. This leads
|
||
to modules imported from cwd to now possess an absolute file path for
|
||
__file__ (this does not affect modules specified by path on the CLI but it
|
||
does affect -m/runpy). It also allows FileFinder to be more consistent by not
|
||
having an edge case.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #4555: All exported C symbols are now prefixed with either
|
||
"Py" or "_Py".
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19219: Speed up marshal.loads(), and make pyc files slightly
|
||
(5% to 10%) smaller.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19221: Upgrade Unicode database to version 6.3.0.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #16742: The result of the C callback PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer must
|
||
now be a string allocated by PyMem_RawMalloc() or PyMem_RawRealloc() (or NULL
|
||
if an error occurred), instead of a string allocated by PyMem_Malloc() or
|
||
PyMem_Realloc().
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19199: Remove ``PyThreadState.tick_counter`` field
|
||
|
||
- Fix macro expansion of _PyErr_OCCURRED(), and make sure to use it in at
|
||
least one place so as to avoid regressions.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19087: Improve bytearray allocation in order to allow cheap popping
|
||
of data at the front (slice deletion).
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19014: memoryview.cast() is now allowed on zero-length views.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18690: memoryview is now automatically registered with
|
||
collections.abc.Sequence
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19078: memoryview now correctly supports the reversed builtin
|
||

|
||
|
||
- Issue #19262: Initial check in of the 'asyncio' package (a.k.a. Tulip,
|
||
a.k.a. PEP 3156). There are no docs yet, and the PEP is slightly

|
||
|

|
||
and groups() methods of match object now always return a string or a bytes
|
||
object.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18725: The textwrap module now supports truncating multiline text.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18776: atexit callbacks now display their full traceback when they
|
||
raise an exception.
|
||

- Issue #19205: Don't import the 're' module in site and sysconfig module to
|
||
speed up interpreter start.

|
||
_io module instead of the full locale module.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18764: Remove the 'print' alias for the PDB 'p' command so that it no
|
||
longer shadows the print function.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19158: A rare race in BoundedSemaphore could allow .release() too
|
||
often.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #15805: Add contextlib.redirect_stdout().
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18716: Deprecate the formatter module.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #10712: 2to3 has a new "asserts" fixer that replaces deprecated names
|
||
of unittest methods (e.g. failUnlessEqual -> assertEqual).
|
||

|
||
|
||
- Issue #17839: base64.decodebytes and base64.encodebytes now accept any

|
||
when necessary. Patch by Oscar Benjamin.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #5845: In site.py, only load readline history from ~/.python_history
|
||
if no history has been read already. This avoids double writes to the
|
||
history file at shutdown.
|
||
|
||
- Properly initialize all fields of a SSL object after allocation.

|
||
|
||
- Issue #14499: Fix several problems with OS X universal build support:
|
||
1. ppc arch detection for extension module builds broke with Xcode 5
|
||
2. ppc arch detection in configure did not work on OS X 10.4
|
||
3. -sysroot and -arch flags were unnecessarily duplicated
|
||
4. there was no obvious way to configure an intel-32 only build.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #19019: Change the OS X installer build script to use CFLAGS instead
|
||
of OPT for special build options. By setting OPT, some compiler-specific
|
||
options like -fwrapv were overridden and thus not used, which could result
|
||
in broken interpreters when building with clang.

|
||
number of frames from multichannel stream. Au_write.writeframesraw() now
|
||
correctly updates current file position. Au_read.getnframes() now returns an
|

returned empty string.
|

|
||
before moving them into place, to avoid race conditions with other programs

|
||
- Issue #14984: On POSIX systems, when netrc is called without a filename
|
||
argument (and therefore is reading the user's $HOME/.netrc file), it now

||
if all the necessary functions have already been found in libuuid. Patch by

||
Evgeny Sologubov.
|
||
|
||
- The :envvar:`PYTHONFAULTHANDLER` environment variable now only enables the

||
socket.socket.get/set_inheritable().
|

|
||
- Issue #11619: The parser and the import machinery do not encode Unicode
|
||
filenames anymore on Windows.
|
||

|
||
- Issue #18774: Remove last bits of GNU PTH thread code and thread_pth.h.
|
||
|
||

|
||
of hash collisions. The core idea is to inspect a second key/hash pair
|
||
for each cache line retrieved.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #16105: When a signal handler fails to write to the file descriptor
|
||
registered with ``signal.set_wakeup_fd()``, report an exception instead
|
||
of ignoring the error.
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18722: Remove uses of the "register" keyword in C code.

||
Library
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
- Issue #18808: Thread.join() now waits for the underlying thread state to

|
||
Py_EndInterpreter() when some non-daemon threads are still running.

||
|
||
- Issue #18458: Prevent crashes with newer versions of libedit. Its readline
|

take advantage of the os.path.samefile/sameopenfile/samestat implementations
|
||
used by other platforms.

|
||
encoded/decoded to/from UTF-8/surrogateescape, instead of the locale encoding
