When an unfinished generator-iterator is garbage collected, PyEval_EvalFrameEx is called with a GeneratorExit exception set. This leads to funny results if the sys.settrace function itself makes use of generators. A visible effect is that the settrace function is reset to None. Another is that the eventual "finally" block of the generator is not called. It is necessary to save/restore the exception around the call to the trace function. This happens a lot with py3k: isinstance() of an ABCMeta instance runs def __instancecheck__(cls, instance): """Override for isinstance(instance, cls).""" return any(cls.__subclasscheck__(c) for c in {instance.__class__, type(instance)}) which lets an opened generator expression each time it returns True. Backport candidate, even if the case is less frequent in 2.5. ........ r58968 | georg.brandl | 2007-11-14 05:59:09 -0800 (Wed, 14 Nov 2007) | 2 lines Remove dead link from random docs. ........ r58971 | raymond.hettinger | 2007-11-14 14:56:16 -0800 (Wed, 14 Nov 2007) | 1 line Make __fields__ read-only.

This is Python version 3.0 alpha 1 ================================== For notes specific to this release, see RELNOTES in this directory. Python 3000 (a.k.a. "Py3k", and released as Python 3.0) is a new version of the language, which is incompatible with the 2.x line of releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed. This is an ongoing project; the cleanup isn't expected to be complete until 2008. In particular there are plans to reorganize the standard library namespace. Release Schedule ---------------- The release plan is to have a series of alpha releases in 2007, beta releases in 2008, and a final release in August 2008. The alpha releases are primarily aimed at developers who want a sneak peek at the new langauge, especially those folks who plan to port their code to Python 3000. The hope is that by the time of the final release, many 3rd party packages will already be available in a 3.0-compatible form. Documentation ------------- Documentation for Python 3000 is online, updated twice a day: http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/ This is a work in progress; please help improve it! The design documents for Python 3000 are also online. While the reference documentation is being updated, the PEPs are often the best source of information about new features. Start by reading PEP 3000: http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-3000/ What's New ---------- For an overview of what's new in Python 3000, see Guido van Rossum's blog at artima.com: http://www.artima.com/weblogs/index.jsp?blogger=guido We'll eventually have a comprehensive overview of the changes in a "What's New in Python 3.0" document. Please help write it! Converting From Python 2.x to 3.0 --------------------------------- Python 2.6 (not yet released) will contain features to help locating code that needs to be changed, such as optional warnings when deprecated features are used, and backported versions of certain key Python 3000 features. A source-to-source translation tool, "2to3", can take care of the mundane task of converting large amounts of source code. It is not a complete solution but is complemented by the deprecation warnings in 2.6. This tool is currently available via the Subversion sandbox: http://svn.python.org/view/sandbox/trunk/2to3/ Issue Tracker and Mailing List ------------------------------ We're soliciting bug reports about all aspects of the language. Fixes are also welcome, preferable in unified diff format. Please use the issue tracker: http://bugs.python.org/ If you're not sure whether you're dealing with a bug or a feature, use the mailing list: python-3000@python.org To subscribe to the list, use the mailman form: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000/ Build Instructions ------------------ On Unix, Linux, BSD, OSX, and Cygwin: ./configure make make test sudo make install # or "make altinstall" You can pass many options to the configure script; run "./configure --help" to find out more. On OSX and Cygwin, the executable is called python.exe; elsewhere it's just python. On Mac OS X, if you have configured Python with --enable-framework, you should use "make frameworkinstall" to do the installation. Note that this installs the Python executable in a place that is not normally on your PATH, you may want to set up a symlink in /usr/local/bin. On Windows, see PCbuild/readme.txt. If you wish, you can create a subdirectory and invoke configure from there. For example: mkdir debug cd debug ../configure --with-pydebug make make test (This will fail if you *also* built at the top-level directory. You should do a "make clean" at the toplevel first.)
