What's New In Python 3.13

|
|
.. Rules for maintenance:
|
|
|
|
* Anyone can add text to this document. Do not spend very much time
|
|
on the wording of your changes, because your text will probably
|
|
get rewritten to some degree.
|
|
|
|
* The maintainer will go through Misc/NEWS periodically and add
|
|
changes; it's therefore more important to add your changes to
|
|
Misc/NEWS than to this file.
|
|
|
|
* This is not a complete list of every single change; completeness
|
|
is the purpose of Misc/NEWS. Some changes I consider too small
|
|
or esoteric to include. If such a change is added to the text,
|
|
I'll just remove it. (This is another reason you shouldn't spend
|
|
too much time on writing your addition.)
|
|
|
|
* If you want to draw your new text to the attention of the
|
|
maintainer, add 'XXX' to the beginning of the paragraph or
|
|
section.
|
|
|
|
* It's OK to just add a fragmentary note about a change. For
|
|
example: "XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the
|
|
socket module." The maintainer will research the change and
|
|
write the necessary text.
|
|
|
|
* You can comment out your additions if you like, but it's not
|
|
necessary (especially when a final release is some months away).
|
|
|
|
* Credit the author of a patch or bugfix. Just the name is
|
|
sufficient; the e-mail address isn't necessary.
|
|
|
|
* It's helpful to add the issue number as a comment:
|
|
|
|
XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the socket
|
|
module.
|
|
(Contributed by P.Y. Developer in :gh:`12345`.)
|
|
|
|
This saves the maintainer the effort of going through the VCS log
|
|
when researching a change.
|
|
|
|
This article explains the new features in Python 3.13, compared to 3.12.
|
|
|
|
For full details, see the :ref:`changelog <changelog>`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Prerelease users should be aware that this document is currently in draft
|
|
form. It will be updated substantially as Python 3.13 moves towards release,
|
|
so it's worth checking back even after reading earlier versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Summary -- Release highlights
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
.. This section singles out the most important changes in Python 3.13.
|
|
Brevity is key.
|
|
|
|
.. PEP-sized items next.
|
|
|
|
Important deprecations, removals or restrictions:
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`PEP 594 <whatsnew313-pep594>`: The remaining 19 "dead batteries"
|
|
have been removed from the standard library:
|
|
:mod:`!aifc`, :mod:`!audioop`, :mod:`!cgi`, :mod:`!cgitb`, :mod:`!chunk`,
|
|
:mod:`!crypt`, :mod:`!imghdr`, :mod:`!mailcap`, :mod:`!msilib`, :mod:`!nis`,
|
|
:mod:`!nntplib`, :mod:`!ossaudiodev`, :mod:`!pipes`, :mod:`!sndhdr`, :mod:`!spwd`,
|
|
:mod:`!sunau`, :mod:`!telnetlib`, :mod:`!uu` and :mod:`!xdrlib`.
|
|
|
|
* :pep:`602` ("Annual Release Cycle for Python") has been updated:
|
|
|
|
* Python 3.9 - 3.12 have one and a half years of full support,
|
|
followed by three and a half years of security fixes.
|
|
* Python 3.13 and later have two years of full support,
|
|
followed by three years of security fixes.
|
|
|
|
Interpreter improvements:
|
|
|
|
* :pep:`744`: A basic :ref:`JIT compiler <whatsnew313-jit-compiler>` was added.
|
|
It is currently disabled by default (though we may turn it on later).
|
|
Performance improvements are modest -- we expect to be improving this
|
|
over the next few releases.
|
|
|
|
* :pep:`667`: :attr:`FrameType.f_locals <frame.f_locals>` when used in
|
|
a function now returns a write-through proxy to the frame's locals,
|
|
rather than a ``dict``. See the PEP for corresponding C API changes
|
|
and deprecations.
|
|
|
|
New typing features:
|
|
|
|
* :pep:`696`: Type parameters (:data:`typing.TypeVar`, :data:`typing.ParamSpec`,
|
|
and :data:`typing.TypeVarTuple`) now support defaults.
|
|
* :pep:`742`: :data:`typing.TypeIs` was added, providing more intuitive
|
|
type narrowing behavior.
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
A Better Interactive Interpreter
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
On Unix-like systems like Linux or macOS, Python now uses a new
|
|
:term:`interactive` shell. When the user starts the :term:`REPL`
|
|
from a tty, and both :mod:`curses` and :mod:`readline` are available,
|
|
the interactive shell now supports the following new features:
|
|
|
|
* colorized prompts;
|
|
* multiline editing with history preservation;
|
|
* interactive help browsing using :kbd:`F1` with a separate command
|
|
history;
|
|
* history browsing using :kbd:`F2` that skips output as well as the
|
|
:term:`>>>` and :term:`...` prompts;
|
|
* "paste mode" with :kbd:`F3` that makes pasting larger blocks of code
|
|
easier (press :kbd:`F3` again to return to the regular prompt);
|
|
* ability to issue REPL-specific commands like :kbd:`help`, :kbd:`exit`,
|
|
and :kbd:`quit` without the need to use call parentheses after the
|
|
command name.
|
|
|
|
If the new interactive shell is not desired, it can be disabled via
|
|
the :envvar:`PYTHON_BASIC_REPL` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
For more on interactive mode, see :ref:`tut-interac`.

Lysandros Nikolaou in :gh:`111201` based on code from the PyPy project.)
|
|
|
|
Improved Error Messages
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
* The interpreter now colorizes error messages when displaying tracebacks by default.
|
|
This feature can be controlled via the new :envvar:`PYTHON_COLORS` environment
|
|
variable as well as the canonical |NO_COLOR|_ and |FORCE_COLOR|_ environment
|
|
variables. See also :ref:`using-on-controlling-color`.
|
|
(Contributed by Pablo Galindo Salgado in :gh:`112730`.)
|
|
|
|
.. Apparently this how you hack together a formatted link:
|
|
|
|
.. |FORCE_COLOR| replace:: ``FORCE_COLOR``
|
|
.. _FORCE_COLOR: https://force-color.org/
|
|
|
|
.. |NO_COLOR| replace:: ``NO_COLOR``
|
|
.. _NO_COLOR: https://no-color.org/
|
|
|
|
* A common mistake is to write a script with the same name as a
|
|
standard library module. When this results in errors, we now
|
|
display a more helpful error message:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell-session
|
|
|
|
$ python random.py
|
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
|
File "/home/random.py", line 1, in <module>
|
|
import random; print(random.randint(5))
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
File "/home/random.py", line 1, in <module>
|
|
import random; print(random.randint(5))
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
AttributeError: module 'random' has no attribute 'randint' (consider renaming '/home/random.py' since it has the same name as the standard library module named 'random' and the import system gives it precedence)
|
|
|
|
Similarly, if a script has the same name as a third-party
|
|
module it attempts to import, and this results in errors,
|
|
we also display a more helpful error message:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell-session
|
|
|
|
$ python numpy.py
|
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
|
File "/home/numpy.py", line 1, in <module>
|
|
import numpy as np; np.array([1,2,3])
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
File "/home/numpy.py", line 1, in <module>
|
|
import numpy as np; np.array([1,2,3])
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'array' (consider renaming '/home/numpy.py' if it has the same name as a third-party module you intended to import)
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Shantanu Jain in :gh:`95754`.)
|
|
|
|
* When an incorrect keyword argument is passed to a function, the error message
|
|
now potentially suggests the correct keyword argument.
|
|
(Contributed by Pablo Galindo Salgado and Shantanu Jain in :gh:`107944`.)
|
|
|
|
>>> "better error messages!".split(max_split=1)
|
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
|
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
|
|
"better error messages!".split(max_split=1)
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
TypeError: split() got an unexpected keyword argument 'max_split'. Did you mean 'maxsplit'?
|
|
|
|
* Classes have a new :attr:`~class.__static_attributes__` attribute, populated by the compiler,
|
|
with a tuple of names of attributes of this class which are accessed
|
|
through ``self.X`` from any function in its body. (Contributed by Irit Katriel
|
|
in :gh:`115775`.)
|
|
|
|
Incremental Garbage Collection
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* The cycle garbage collector is now incremental.
|
|
This means that maximum pause times are reduced
|
|
by an order of magnitude or more for larger heaps.
|
|
|
|
Support For Mobile Platforms
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
* iOS is now a :pep:`11` supported platform. ``arm64-apple-ios``
|
|
(iPhone and iPad devices released after 2013) and
|
|
``arm64-apple-ios-simulator`` (Xcode iOS simulator running on Apple Silicon
|
|
hardware) are now tier 3 platforms.
|
|
|
|
``x86_64-apple-ios-simulator`` (Xcode iOS simulator running on older x86_64
|
|
hardware) is not a tier 3 supported platform, but will be supported on a
|
|
best-effort basis.
|
|
|
|
See :pep:`730`: for more details.
|
|
|
|
(PEP written and implementation contributed by Russell Keith-Magee in
|
|
:gh:`114099`.)
|
|
|
|
Other Language Changes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
* Allow the *count* argument of :meth:`str.replace` to be a keyword.
|
|
(Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :gh:`106487`.)
|
|
|
|
* Compiler now strip indents from docstrings.
|
|
This will reduce the size of :term:`bytecode cache <bytecode>` (e.g. ``.pyc`` file).
|
|
For example, cache file size for ``sqlalchemy.orm.session`` in SQLAlchemy 2.0
|
|
is reduced by about 5%.
|
|
This change will affect tools using docstrings, like :mod:`doctest`.
|
|
(Contributed by Inada Naoki in :gh:`81283`.)
|
|
|
|
* The :func:`compile` built-in can now accept a new flag,
|
|
``ast.PyCF_OPTIMIZED_AST``, which is similar to ``ast.PyCF_ONLY_AST``
|
|
except that the returned ``AST`` is optimized according to the value
|
|
of the ``optimize`` argument.
|
|
(Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`108113`).
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`multiprocessing`, :mod:`concurrent.futures`, :mod:`compileall`:
|
|
Replace :func:`os.cpu_count` with :func:`os.process_cpu_count` to select the
|
|
default number of worker threads and processes. Get the CPU affinity
|
|
if supported.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`109649`.)
|
|
|
|
* :func:`os.path.realpath` now resolves MS-DOS style file names even if
|
|
the file is not accessible.
|
|
(Contributed by Moonsik Park in :gh:`82367`.)
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug where a :keyword:`global` declaration in an :keyword:`except` block
|
|
is rejected when the global is used in the :keyword:`else` block.
|
|
(Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`111123`.)
|
|
|
|
* Many functions now emit a warning if a boolean value is passed as
|
|
a file descriptor argument.
|
|
This can help catch some errors earlier.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`82626`.)
|
|
|
|
* Added a new environment variable :envvar:`PYTHON_FROZEN_MODULES`. It
|
|
determines whether or not frozen modules are ignored by the import machinery,
|
|
equivalent of the :option:`-X frozen_modules <-X>` command-line option.
|
|
(Contributed by Yilei Yang in :gh:`111374`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :ref:`support for the perf profiler <perf_profiling>` working without
|
|
frame pointers through the new environment variable
|
|
:envvar:`PYTHONPERFJITSUPPORT` and command-line option :option:`-X perfjit
|
|
<-X>` (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in :gh:`118518`.)
|
|
|
|
* The new :envvar:`PYTHON_HISTORY` environment variable can be used to change
|
|
the location of a ``.python_history`` file.
|
|
(Contributed by Levi Sabah, Zackery Spytz and Hugo van Kemenade in
|
|
:gh:`73965`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :exc:`PythonFinalizationError` exception. This exception derived from
|
|
:exc:`RuntimeError` is raised when an operation is blocked during
|
|
the :term:`Python finalization <interpreter shutdown>`.
|
|
|
|
The following functions now raise PythonFinalizationError, instead of
|
|
:exc:`RuntimeError`:
|
|
|
|
* :func:`_thread.start_new_thread`.
|
|
* :class:`subprocess.Popen`.
|
|
* :func:`os.fork`.
|
|
* :func:`os.forkpty`.
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`114570`.)
|
|
|
|
* Added :attr:`!name` and :attr:`!mode` attributes for compressed
|
|
and archived file-like objects in modules :mod:`bz2`, :mod:`lzma`,
|
|
:mod:`tarfile` and :mod:`zipfile`.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`115961`.)
|
|
|
|
* Allow controlling Expat >=2.6.0 reparse deferral (:cve:`2023-52425`)
|
|
by adding five new methods:
|
|
|
|
* :meth:`xml.etree.ElementTree.XMLParser.flush`
|
|
* :meth:`xml.etree.ElementTree.XMLPullParser.flush`
|
|
* :meth:`xml.parsers.expat.xmlparser.GetReparseDeferralEnabled`
|
|
* :meth:`xml.parsers.expat.xmlparser.SetReparseDeferralEnabled`
|
|
* :meth:`!xml.sax.expatreader.ExpatParser.flush`
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Sebastian Pipping in :gh:`115623`.)
|
|
|
|
* The :func:`ssl.create_default_context` API now includes
|
|
:data:`ssl.VERIFY_X509_PARTIAL_CHAIN` and :data:`ssl.VERIFY_X509_STRICT`
|
|
in its default flags.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
:data:`ssl.VERIFY_X509_STRICT` may reject pre-:rfc:`5280` or malformed
|
|
certificates that the underlying OpenSSL implementation otherwise would
|
|
accept. While disabling this is not recommended, you can do so using::
|
|
|
|
ctx = ssl.create_default_context()
|
|
ctx.verify_flags &= ~ssl.VERIFY_X509_STRICT
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by William Woodruff in :gh:`112389`.)
|
|
|
|
* The :class:`configparser.ConfigParser` now accepts unnamed sections before named
|
|
ones if configured to do so.
|
|
(Contributed by Pedro Sousa Lacerda in :gh:`66449`.)
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`annotation scope <annotation-scopes>` within class scopes can now
|
|
contain lambdas and comprehensions. Comprehensions that are located within
|
|
class scopes are not inlined into their parent scope. (Contributed by
|
|
Jelle Zijlstra in :gh:`109118` and :gh:`118160`.)
|
|
|
|
* Classes have a new :attr:`!__firstlineno__` attribute,
|
|
populated by the compiler, with the line number of the first line
|
|
of the class definition.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`118465`.)
|
|
|
|
* ``from __future__ import ...`` statements are now just normal
|
|
relative imports if dots are present before the module name.

New Modules
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
* None yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Improved Modules
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
argparse
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* Add parameter *deprecated* in methods
|
|
:meth:`~argparse.ArgumentParser.add_argument` and :meth:`!add_parser`
|
|
which allows to deprecate command-line options, positional arguments and
|
|
subcommands.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`83648`.)
|
|
|
|
array
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* Add ``'w'`` type code (``Py_UCS4``) that can be used for Unicode strings.
|
|
It can be used instead of ``'u'`` type code, which is deprecated.
|
|
(Contributed by Inada Naoki in :gh:`80480`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add ``clear()`` method in order to implement ``MutableSequence``.
|
|
(Contributed by Mike Zimin in :gh:`114894`.)
|
|
|
|
ast
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
* The constructors of node types in the :mod:`ast` module are now stricter
|
|
in the arguments they accept, and have more intuitive behaviour when
|
|
arguments are omitted.
|
|
|
|
If an optional field on an AST node is not included as an argument when
|
|
constructing an instance, the field will now be set to ``None``. Similarly,
|
|
if a list field is omitted, that field will now be set to an empty list.
|
|
(Previously, in both cases, the attribute would be missing on the newly
|
|
constructed AST node instance.)
|
|
|
|
If other arguments are omitted, a :exc:`DeprecationWarning` is emitted.
|
|
This will cause an exception in Python 3.15. Similarly, passing a keyword
|
|
argument that does not map to a field on the AST node is now deprecated,
|
|
and will raise an exception in Python 3.15.
|
|
|
|
* :func:`ast.parse` now accepts an optional argument *optimize*
|
|
which is passed on to the :func:`compile` built-in. This makes it
|
|
possible to obtain an optimized AST.
|
|
(Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`108113`.)
|
|
|
|
asyncio
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* :meth:`asyncio.loop.create_unix_server` will now automatically remove
|
|
the Unix socket when the server is closed.
|
|
(Contributed by Pierre Ossman in :gh:`111246`.)
|
|
|
|
* :meth:`asyncio.DatagramTransport.sendto` will now send zero-length
|
|
datagrams if called with an empty bytes object. The transport flow
|
|
control also now accounts for the datagram header when calculating
|
|
the buffer size.
|
|
(Contributed by Jamie Phan in :gh:`115199`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :meth:`asyncio.Server.close_clients` and
|
|
:meth:`asyncio.Server.abort_clients` methods which allow to more
|
|
forcefully close an asyncio server.
|
|
(Contributed by Pierre Ossman in :gh:`113538`.)
|
|
|
|
* :func:`asyncio.as_completed` now returns an object that is both an
|
|
:term:`asynchronous iterator` and a plain :term:`iterator` of awaitables.
|
|
The awaitables yielded by asynchronous iteration include original task or
|
|
future objects that were passed in, making it easier to associate results
|
|
with the tasks being completed.
|
|
(Contributed by Justin Arthur in :gh:`77714`.)
|
|
|
|
* When :func:`asyncio.TaskGroup.create_task` is called on an inactive
|
|
:class:`asyncio.TaskGroup`, the given coroutine will be closed (which
|
|
prevents a :exc:`RuntimeWarning` about the given coroutine being
|
|
never awaited).
|
|
(Contributed by Arthur Tacca and Jason Zhang in :gh:`115957`.)
|
|
|
|
* Improved behavior of :class:`asyncio.TaskGroup` when an external cancellation
|
|
collides with an internal cancellation. For example, when two task groups
|
|
are nested and both experience an exception in a child task simultaneously,
|
|
it was possible that the outer task group would hang, because its internal
|
|
cancellation was swallowed by the inner task group.
|
|
|
|
In the case where a task group is cancelled externally and also must
|
|
raise an :exc:`ExceptionGroup`, it will now call the parent task's
|
|
:meth:`~asyncio.Task.cancel` method. This ensures that a
|
|
:exc:`asyncio.CancelledError` will be raised at the next
|
|
:keyword:`await`, so the cancellation is not lost.
|
|
|
|
An added benefit of these changes is that task groups now preserve the
|
|
cancellation count (:meth:`asyncio.Task.cancelling`).
|
|
|
|
In order to handle some corner cases, :meth:`asyncio.Task.uncancel` may now
|
|
reset the undocumented ``_must_cancel`` flag when the cancellation count
|
|
reaches zero.
|
|
|
|
(Inspired by an issue reported by Arthur Tacca in :gh:`116720`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :meth:`asyncio.Queue.shutdown` (along with
|
|
:exc:`asyncio.QueueShutDown`) for queue termination.
|
|
(Contributed by Laurie Opperman and Yves Duprat in :gh:`104228`.)
|
|
|
|
* Accept a tuple of separators in :meth:`asyncio.StreamReader.readuntil`,
|
|
stopping when one of them is encountered.
|
|
(Contributed by Bruce Merry in :gh:`81322`.)
|
|
|
|
base64
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
* Add :func:`base64.z85encode` and :func:`base64.z85decode` functions which allow encoding
|
|
and decoding Z85 data.
|
|
See `Z85 specification <https://rfc.zeromq.org/spec/32/>`_ for more information.
|
|
(Contributed by Matan Perelman in :gh:`75299`.)
|
|
|
|
copy
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* Add :func:`copy.replace` function which allows to create a modified copy of
|
|
an object, which is especially useful for immutable objects.
|
|
It supports named tuples created with the factory function
|
|
:func:`collections.namedtuple`, :class:`~dataclasses.dataclass` instances,

|
|
|

tests. Add :attr:`doctest.DocTestRunner.skips` and
|
|
:attr:`doctest.TestResults.skipped` attributes.

|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108794`.)

email

|
-----
|
|

|
* :func:`email.utils.getaddresses` and :func:`email.utils.parseaddr` now return
|
|
``('', '')`` 2-tuples in more situations where invalid email addresses are
|
|
encountered instead of potentially inaccurate values. Add optional *strict*
|
|
parameter to these two functions: use ``strict=False`` to get the old

behavior, accept malformed inputs.
|
|
``getattr(email.utils, 'supports_strict_parsing', False)`` can be used to
|

check if the *strict* parameter is available.

fractions
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Formatting for objects of type :class:`fractions.Fraction` now supports
|
|
the standard format specification mini-language rules for fill, alignment,
|
|
sign handling, minimum width and grouping. (Contributed by Mark Dickinson

gc
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
* The cyclic garbage collector is now incremental, which changes the meanings
|
|
of the results of :meth:`gc.get_threshold` and :meth:`gc.set_threshold` as
|
|
well as :meth:`gc.get_count` and :meth:`gc.get_stats`.
|
|
|
|
* :meth:`gc.get_threshold` returns a three-item tuple for backwards compatibility.
|
|
The first value is the threshold for young collections, as before; the second
|
|
value determines the rate at which the old collection is scanned (the
|
|
default is 10, and higher values mean that the old collection is scanned more slowly).
|
|
The third value is meaningless and is always zero.
|
|
* :meth:`gc.set_threshold` ignores any items after the second.
|
|
* :meth:`gc.get_count` and :meth:`gc.get_stats`
|
|
return the same format of results as before.
|
|
The only difference is that instead of the results referring to
|
|
the young, aging and old generations, the results refer to the
|
|
young generation and the aging and collecting spaces of the old generation.
|
|
|
|
In summary, code that attempted to manipulate the behavior of the cycle GC may
|
|
not work exactly as intended, but it is very unlikely to be harmful.
|
|
All other code will work just fine.

|
|

glob

importlib
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Previously deprecated :mod:`importlib.resources` functions are un-deprecated:
|
|
|
|
* :func:`~importlib.resources.is_resource()`
|
|
* :func:`~importlib.resources.open_binary()`
|
|
* :func:`~importlib.resources.open_text()`

|
|
* :func:`~importlib.resources.read_binary()`
|
|
* :func:`~importlib.resources.read_text()`
|
|
|
|
All now allow for a directory (or tree) of resources, using multiple positional
|
|
arguments.
|
|
|
|
For text-reading functions, the *encoding* and *errors* must now be given as
|
|
keyword arguments.
|
|
|
|
The :func:`~importlib.resources.contents()` remains deprecated in favor of

Experimental JIT Compiler
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
When CPython is configured using the ``--enable-experimental-jit`` option,
|
|
a just-in-time compiler is added which may speed up some Python programs.
|
|
|
|
The internal architecture is roughly as follows.
|
|
|
|
* We start with specialized *Tier 1 bytecode*.
|
|
See :ref:`What's new in 3.11 <whatsnew311-pep659>` for details.
|
|
|
|
* When the Tier 1 bytecode gets hot enough, it gets translated
|
|
to a new, purely internal *Tier 2 IR*, a.k.a. micro-ops ("uops").
|
|
|
|
* The Tier 2 IR uses the same stack-based VM as Tier 1, but the
|
|
instruction format is better suited to translation to machine code.
|
|
|
|
* We have several optimization passes for Tier 2 IR, which are applied
|
|
before it is interpreted or translated to machine code.
|
|
|
|
* There is a Tier 2 interpreter, but it is mostly intended for debugging
|
|
the earlier stages of the optimization pipeline.
|
|
The Tier 2 interpreter can be enabled by configuring Python
|
|
with ``--enable-experimental-jit=interpreter``.
|
|
|
|
* When the JIT is enabled, the optimized
|
|
Tier 2 IR is translated to machine code, which is then executed.
|
|
|
|
* The machine code translation process uses an architecture called
|
|
*copy-and-patch*. It has no runtime dependencies, but there is a new
|
|
build-time dependency on LLVM.
|
|
|
|
The ``--enable-experimental-jit`` flag has the following optional values:
|
|
|
|
* ``no`` (default) -- Disable the entire Tier 2 and JIT pipeline.
|
|
|
|
* ``yes`` (default if the flag is present without optional value)
|
|
-- Enable the JIT. To disable the JIT at runtime,
|
|
pass the environment variable ``PYTHON_JIT=0``.
|
|
|
|
* ``yes-off`` -- Build the JIT but disable it by default.
|
|
To enable the JIT at runtime, pass the environment variable
|
|
``PYTHON_JIT=1``.
|
|
|
|
* ``interpreter`` -- Enable the Tier 2 interpreter but disable the JIT.
|
|
The interpreter can be disabled by running with
|
|
``PYTHON_JIT=0``.
|
|
|
|
(On Windows, use ``PCbuild/build.bat --experimental-jit`` to enable the JIT
|
|
or ``--experimental-jit-interpreter`` to enable the Tier 2 interpreter.)

Deprecated
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`array`: :mod:`array`'s ``'u'`` format code, deprecated in docs since Python 3.3,
|
|
emits :exc:`DeprecationWarning` since 3.13
|
|
and will be removed in Python 3.16.
|
|
Use the ``'w'`` format code instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :gh:`80480`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`ctypes`: Deprecate undocumented :func:`!ctypes.SetPointerType`
|
|
and :func:`!ctypes.ARRAY` functions.
|
|
Replace ``ctypes.ARRAY(item_type, size)`` with ``item_type * size``.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105733`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`decimal`: Deprecate non-standard format specifier "N" for
|
|
:class:`decimal.Decimal`.
|
|
It was not documented and only supported in the C implementation.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`89902`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`dis`: The ``dis.HAVE_ARGUMENT`` separator is deprecated. Check
|
|
membership in :data:`~dis.hasarg` instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`109319`.)
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`frame-objects`:
|
|
Calling :meth:`frame.clear` on a suspended frame raises :exc:`RuntimeError`
|
|
(as has always been the case for an executing frame).
|
|
(Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`79932`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`getopt` and :mod:`optparse` modules: They are now
|
|
:term:`soft deprecated`: the :mod:`argparse` module should be used for new projects.
|
|
Previously, the :mod:`optparse` module was already deprecated, its removal
|
|
was not scheduled, and no warnings was emitted: so there is no change in
|
|
practice.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106535`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`gettext`: Emit deprecation warning for non-integer numbers in

|
|
*root_dir* argument instead.

* :mod:`http.server`: :class:`http.server.CGIHTTPRequestHandler` now emits a
|
|
:exc:`DeprecationWarning` as it will be removed in 3.15. Process-based CGI
|
|
HTTP servers have been out of favor for a very long time. This code was
|
|
outdated, unmaintained, and rarely used. It has a high potential for both
|
|
security and functionality bugs. This includes removal of the ``--cgi``
|
|
flag to the ``python -m http.server`` command line in 3.15.

:meth:`pathlib.PurePath.is_reserved` is deprecated and scheduled for
|
|
removal in Python 3.15. Use :func:`os.path.isreserved` to detect reserved
|
|

``class NT(NamedTuple): pass`` or ``NT = NamedTuple("NT", [])``.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`typing.TypedDict`: When using the functional syntax to create a
|
|
:class:`!TypedDict` class, failing to pass a value to the *fields* parameter (``TD =
|
|
TypedDict("TD")``) is deprecated. Passing ``None`` to the *fields* parameter
|
|
(``TD = TypedDict("TD", None)``) is also deprecated. Both will be disallowed
|
|
in Python 3.15. To create a :class:`!TypedDict` class with 0 fields, use ``class
|
|
TD(TypedDict): pass`` or ``TD = TypedDict("TD", {})``.
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`wave`: Deprecate the ``getmark()``, ``setmark()`` and ``getmarkers()``
|
|
methods of the :class:`wave.Wave_read` and :class:`wave.Wave_write` classes.
|
|
They will be removed in Python 3.15.

Pending Removal in Python 3.16
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* :class:`array.array` ``'u'`` type (:c:type:`wchar_t`):
|
|
use the ``'w'`` type instead (``Py_UCS4``).
|
|
|
|
Pending Removal in Future Versions
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following APIs were deprecated in earlier Python versions and will be removed,
|
|
although there is currently no date scheduled for their removal.
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`argparse`: Nesting argument groups and nesting mutually exclusive
|
|
groups are deprecated.
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`builtins`:
|
|
|
|
* ``~bool``, bitwise inversion on bool.
|
|
* ``bool(NotImplemented)``.
|
|
* Generators: ``throw(type, exc, tb)`` and ``athrow(type, exc, tb)``
|
|
signature is deprecated: use ``throw(exc)`` and ``athrow(exc)`` instead,
|
|
the single argument signature.
|
|
* Currently Python accepts numeric literals immediately followed by keywords,
|
|
for example ``0in x``, ``1or x``, ``0if 1else 2``. It allows confusing and
|
|
ambiguous expressions like ``[0x1for x in y]`` (which can be interpreted as
|
|
``[0x1 for x in y]`` or ``[0x1f or x in y]``). A syntax warning is raised
|
|
if the numeric literal is immediately followed by one of keywords
|
|
:keyword:`and`, :keyword:`else`, :keyword:`for`, :keyword:`if`,
|
|
:keyword:`in`, :keyword:`is` and :keyword:`or`. In a future release it
|
|
will be changed to a syntax error. (:gh:`87999`)
|
|
* Support for ``__index__()`` and ``__int__()`` method returning non-int type:
|
|
these methods will be required to return an instance of a strict subclass of
|
|
:class:`int`.
|
|
* Support for ``__float__()`` method returning a strict subclass of
|
|
:class:`float`: these methods will be required to return an instance of
|
|
:class:`float`.
|
|
* Support for ``__complex__()`` method returning a strict subclass of
|
|
:class:`complex`: these methods will be required to return an instance of
|
|
:class:`complex`.
|
|
* Delegation of ``int()`` to ``__trunc__()`` method.
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`calendar`: ``calendar.January`` and ``calendar.February`` constants are
|
|
deprecated and replaced by :data:`calendar.JANUARY` and
|
|
:data:`calendar.FEBRUARY`.
|
|
(Contributed by Prince Roshan in :gh:`103636`.)

|
|
* :attr:`codeobject.co_lnotab`: use the :meth:`codeobject.co_lines` method
|
|
instead.

|
|
use ``datetime.datetime.now(tz=datetime.UTC)``.
|
|
* :meth:`~datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp`:
|
|
use ``datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp, tz=datetime.UTC)``.
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`gettext`: Plural value must be an integer.
|
|
|
|

|
|
* :func:`~importlib.util.cache_from_source` *debug_override* parameter is
|
|
deprecated: use the *optimization* parameter instead.
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`importlib.metadata`:
|
|
|
|
* ``EntryPoints`` tuple interface.
|
|
* Implicit ``None`` on return values.
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`mailbox`: Use of StringIO input and text mode is deprecated, use
|
|
BytesIO and binary mode instead.
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`os`: Calling :func:`os.register_at_fork` in multi-threaded process.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`!pydoc.ErrorDuringImport`: A tuple value for *exc_info* parameter is
|
|
deprecated, use an exception instance.
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`re`: More strict rules are now applied for numerical group references
|
|
and group names in regular expressions. Only sequence of ASCII digits is now
|
|
accepted as a numerical reference. The group name in bytes patterns and
|
|
replacement strings can now only contain ASCII letters and digits and
|
|
underscore.

PEP 594: dead batteries
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
* :pep:`594` removed 19 modules from the standard library,
|
|
deprecated in Python 3.11:
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`!aifc`.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`104773`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`!audioop`.

* :mod:`!chunk`.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`104773`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`!cgi` and :mod:`!cgitb`.
|
|
|
|
* ``cgi.FieldStorage`` can typically be replaced with
|
|
:func:`urllib.parse.parse_qsl` for ``GET`` and ``HEAD`` requests,
|
|
and the :mod:`email.message` module or :pypi:`multipart`
|
|
PyPI project for ``POST`` and ``PUT``.
|
|
|
|
* ``cgi.parse()`` can be replaced by calling :func:`urllib.parse.parse_qs`
|
|
directly on the desired query string, except for ``multipart/form-data``
|
|
input, which can be handled as described for ``cgi.parse_multipart()``.
|
|
|
|
* ``cgi.parse_header()`` can be replaced with the functionality in the
|
|
:mod:`email` package, which implements the same MIME RFCs. For example,
|
|
with :class:`email.message.EmailMessage`::
|
|
|
|
from email.message import EmailMessage
|
|
msg = EmailMessage()
|
|
msg['content-type'] = 'application/json; charset="utf8"'
|
|
main, params = msg.get_content_type(), msg['content-type'].params
|
|
|
|
* ``cgi.parse_multipart()`` can be replaced with the functionality in the
|
|
:mod:`email` package (e.g. :class:`email.message.EmailMessage` and
|
|
:class:`email.message.Message`) which implements the same MIME RFCs, or
|
|
with the :pypi:`multipart` PyPI project.
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`104773`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`!crypt` module and its private :mod:`!_crypt` extension.
|
|
The :mod:`hashlib` module is a potential replacement for certain use cases.
|
|
Otherwise, the following PyPI projects can be used:
|
|
|
|
* :pypi:`bcrypt`:
|
|
Modern password hashing for your software and your servers.
|
|
* :pypi:`passlib`:
|
|
Comprehensive password hashing framework supporting over 30 schemes.
|
|
* :pypi:`argon2-cffi`:
|
|
The secure Argon2 password hashing algorithm.
|
|
* :pypi:`legacycrypt`:
|
|
:mod:`ctypes` wrapper to the POSIX crypt library call and associated functionality.
|
|
* :pypi:`crypt_r`:
|
|
Fork of the :mod:`!crypt` module, wrapper to the :manpage:`crypt_r(3)` library
|
|
call and associated functionality.

Porting to Python 3.13
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
This section lists previously described changes and other bugfixes
|
|
that may require changes to your code.
|
|
|
|
Changes in the Python API
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Functions :c:func:`PyDict_GetItem`, :c:func:`PyDict_GetItemString`,
|
|
:c:func:`PyMapping_HasKey`, :c:func:`PyMapping_HasKeyString`,
|
|
:c:func:`PyObject_HasAttr`, :c:func:`PyObject_HasAttrString`, and
|
|
:c:func:`PySys_GetObject`, which clear all errors which occurred when calling
|
|
them, now report them using :func:`sys.unraisablehook`.
|
|
You may replace them with other functions as
|
|
recommended in the documentation.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`106672`.)
|
|
|
|
* An :exc:`OSError` is now raised by :func:`getpass.getuser` for any failure to
|
|
retrieve a username, instead of :exc:`ImportError` on non-Unix platforms or
|
|
:exc:`KeyError` on Unix platforms where the password database is empty.
|
|
|
|
* The :mod:`threading` module now expects the :mod:`!_thread` module to have
|
|
an ``_is_main_interpreter`` attribute. It is a function with no
|
|
arguments that return ``True`` if the current interpreter is the
|
|
main interpreter.
|
|
|
|
Any library or application that provides a custom ``_thread`` module
|
|
must provide ``_is_main_interpreter()``, just like the module's
|
|
other "private" attributes.
|
|
(See :gh:`112826`.)
|
|
|
|
* :class:`mailbox.Maildir` now ignores files with a leading dot.
|
|
(Contributed by Zackery Spytz in :gh:`65559`.)
|
|
|
|
* :meth:`pathlib.Path.glob` and :meth:`~pathlib.Path.rglob` now return both
|
|
files and directories if a pattern that ends with "``**``" is given, rather
|
|
than directories only. Users may add a trailing slash to match only
|
|
directories.
|
|
|
|
* The value of the :attr:`!mode` attribute of :class:`gzip.GzipFile` was
|
|
changed from integer (``1`` or ``2``) to string (``'rb'`` or ``'wb'``).
|
|
The value of the :attr:`!mode` attribute of the readable file-like object
|
|
returned by :meth:`zipfile.ZipFile.open` was changed from ``'r'`` to ``'rb'``.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`115961`.)
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`!PyCode_GetFirstFree` is an unstable API now and has been renamed
|
|
to :c:func:`PyUnstable_Code_GetFirstFree`.

* SQLite 3.15.2 or newer is required to build the :mod:`sqlite3` extension module.
|
|
(Contributed by Erlend Aasland in :gh:`105875`.)
|
|
|
|
* Python built with :file:`configure` :option:`--with-trace-refs` (tracing
|
|
references) is now ABI compatible with the Python release build and
|
|
:ref:`debug build <debug-build>`.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108634`.)
|
|
|
|
* Building CPython now requires a compiler with support for the C11 atomic
|
|
library, GCC built-in atomic functions, or MSVC interlocked intrinsics.
|
|
|
|
* The ``errno``, ``fcntl``, ``grp``, ``md5``, ``pwd``, ``resource``,
|
|
``termios``, ``winsound``,
|
|
``_ctypes_test``, ``_multiprocessing.posixshmem``, ``_scproxy``, ``_stat``,
|
|
``_statistics``, ``_testconsole``, ``_testimportmultiple`` and ``_uuid``
|
|
C extensions are now built with the
|
|
:ref:`limited C API <limited-c-api>`.

|
* ``wasm32-wasi`` is now a :pep:`11` tier 2 platform.
|
|
(Contributed by Brett Cannon in :gh:`115192`.)
|
|
|
|
* ``wasm32-emscripten`` is no longer a :pep:`11` supported platform.
|
|
(Contributed by Brett Cannon in :gh:`115192`.)
|
|
|
|
* Python now bundles the `mimalloc library <https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc>`__.
|
|
It is licensed under the MIT license, see :ref:`mimalloc license <mimalloc-license>`.
|
|
The bundled mimalloc has custom changes, see :gh:`113141` for details.

C API Changes
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* You no longer have to define the ``PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN`` macro before including
|
|
:file:`Python.h` when using ``#`` formats in
|
|
:ref:`format codes <arg-parsing-string-and-buffers>`.
|
|
APIs accepting the format codes always use ``Py_ssize_t`` for ``#`` formats.
|
|
(Contributed by Inada Naoki in :gh:`104922`.)
|
|
|
|
* The *keywords* parameter of :c:func:`PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords` and
|
|
:c:func:`PyArg_VaParseTupleAndKeywords` now has type :c:expr:`char * const *`
|
|
in C and :c:expr:`const char * const *` in C++, instead of :c:expr:`char **`.
|
|
It makes these functions compatible with arguments of type
|
|
:c:expr:`const char * const *`, :c:expr:`const char **` or
|
|
:c:expr:`char * const *` in C++ and :c:expr:`char * const *` in C
|
|
without an explicit type cast.
|
|
This can be overridden with the :c:macro:`PY_CXX_CONST` macro.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`65210`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyImport_AddModuleRef`: similar to
|
|
:c:func:`PyImport_AddModule`, but return a :term:`strong reference` instead
|
|
of a :term:`borrowed reference`.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105922`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyWeakref_GetRef` function: similar to
|
|
:c:func:`PyWeakref_GetObject` but returns a :term:`strong reference`, or
|
|
``NULL`` if the referent is no longer live.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105927`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyObject_GetOptionalAttr` and
|
|
:c:func:`PyObject_GetOptionalAttrString`, variants of
|
|
:c:func:`PyObject_GetAttr` and :c:func:`PyObject_GetAttrString` which
|
|
don't raise :exc:`AttributeError` if the attribute is not found.
|
|
These variants are more convenient and faster if the missing attribute
|
|
should not be treated as a failure.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`106521`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyMapping_GetOptionalItem` and
|
|
:c:func:`PyMapping_GetOptionalItemString`: variants of
|
|
:c:func:`PyObject_GetItem` and :c:func:`PyMapping_GetItemString` which don't
|
|
raise :exc:`KeyError` if the key is not found.
|
|
These variants are more convenient and faster if the missing key should not
|
|
be treated as a failure.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`106307`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add fixed variants of functions which silently ignore errors:
|
|
|
|
- :c:func:`PyObject_HasAttrWithError` replaces :c:func:`PyObject_HasAttr`.
|
|
- :c:func:`PyObject_HasAttrStringWithError` replaces :c:func:`PyObject_HasAttrString`.
|
|
- :c:func:`PyMapping_HasKeyWithError` replaces :c:func:`PyMapping_HasKey`.
|
|
- :c:func:`PyMapping_HasKeyStringWithError` replaces :c:func:`PyMapping_HasKeyString`.
|
|
|
|
New functions return not only ``1`` for true and ``0`` for false, but also
|
|
``-1`` for error.
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`108511`.)
|
|
|
|
* If Python is built in :ref:`debug mode <debug-build>` or :option:`with
|
|
assertions <--with-assertions>`, :c:func:`PyTuple_SET_ITEM` and
|
|
:c:func:`PyList_SET_ITEM` now check the index argument with an assertion.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106168`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyModule_Add` function: similar to
|
|
:c:func:`PyModule_AddObjectRef` and :c:func:`PyModule_AddObject` but
|
|
always steals a reference to the value.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`86493`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyDict_GetItemRef` and :c:func:`PyDict_GetItemStringRef`
|
|
functions: similar to :c:func:`PyDict_GetItemWithError` but returning a
|
|
:term:`strong reference` instead of a :term:`borrowed reference`. Moreover,
|
|
these functions return -1 on error and so checking ``PyErr_Occurred()`` is
|
|
not needed.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106004`.)
|
|
|
|
* Added :c:func:`PyDict_SetDefaultRef`, which is similar to
|
|
:c:func:`PyDict_SetDefault` but returns a :term:`strong reference` instead of
|
|
a :term:`borrowed reference`. This function returns ``-1`` on error, ``0`` on
|
|
insertion, and ``1`` if the key was already present in the dictionary.
|
|
(Contributed by Sam Gross in :gh:`112066`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyDict_ContainsString` function: same as
|
|
:c:func:`PyDict_Contains`, but *key* is specified as a :c:expr:`const char*`
|
|
UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a :c:expr:`PyObject*`.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108314`.)
|
|
|
|
* Added :c:func:`PyList_GetItemRef` function: similar to
|
|
:c:func:`PyList_GetItem` but returns a :term:`strong reference` instead of
|
|
a :term:`borrowed reference`.
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`Py_IsFinalizing` function: check if the main Python interpreter is
|
|
:term:`shutting down <interpreter shutdown>`.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108014`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyLong_AsInt` function: similar to :c:func:`PyLong_AsLong`, but
|
|
store the result in a C :c:expr:`int` instead of a C :c:expr:`long`.
|
|
Previously, it was known as the private function :c:func:`!_PyLong_AsInt`
|
|
(with an underscore prefix).
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108014`.)
|
|
|
|
* Python built with :file:`configure` :option:`--with-trace-refs` (tracing
|
|
references) now supports the :ref:`Limited API <limited-c-api>`.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108634`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyObject_VisitManagedDict` and
|
|
:c:func:`PyObject_ClearManagedDict` functions which must be called by the
|
|
traverse and clear functions of a type using
|
|
:c:macro:`Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_DICT` flag. The `pythoncapi-compat project
|
|
<https://github.com/python/pythoncapi-compat/>`__ can be used to get these
|
|
functions on Python 3.11 and 3.12.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`107073`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyUnicode_EqualToUTF8AndSize` and :c:func:`PyUnicode_EqualToUTF8`
|
|
functions: compare Unicode object with a :c:expr:`const char*` UTF-8 encoded
|
|
string and return true (``1``) if they are equal, or false (``0``) otherwise.
|
|
These functions do not raise exceptions.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`110289`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyThreadState_GetUnchecked()` function: similar to
|
|
:c:func:`PyThreadState_Get()`, but don't kill the process with a fatal error
|
|
if it is NULL. The caller is responsible to check if the result is NULL.
|
|
Previously, the function was private and known as
|
|
``_PyThreadState_UncheckedGet()``.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108867`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PySys_AuditTuple` function: similar to :c:func:`PySys_Audit`,
|
|
but pass event arguments as a Python :class:`tuple` object.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`85283`.)
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords` now supports non-ASCII keyword
|
|
parameter names.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`110815`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyMem_RawMalloc`, :c:func:`PyMem_RawCalloc`,
|
|
:c:func:`PyMem_RawRealloc` and :c:func:`PyMem_RawFree` to the limited C API
|
|
(version 3.13).
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`85283`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PySys_Audit` and :c:func:`PySys_AuditTuple` functions to the
|
|
limited C API.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`85283`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyErr_FormatUnraisable` function: similar to
|
|
:c:func:`PyErr_WriteUnraisable`, but allow customizing the warning message.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`108082`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyList_Extend` and :c:func:`PyList_Clear` functions: similar to
|
|
Python ``list.extend()`` and ``list.clear()`` methods.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`111138`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyDict_Pop` and :c:func:`PyDict_PopString` functions: remove a
|
|
key from a dictionary and optionally return the removed value. This is
|
|
similar to :meth:`dict.pop`, but without the default value and not raising
|
|
:exc:`KeyError` if the key is missing.
|
|
(Contributed by Stefan Behnel and Victor Stinner in :gh:`111262`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`Py_HashPointer` function to hash a pointer.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`111545`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyObject_GenericHash` function that implements the default
|
|
hashing function of a Python object.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`113024`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add PyTime C API:
|
|
|
|
* :c:type:`PyTime_t` type.
|
|
* :c:var:`PyTime_MIN` and :c:var:`PyTime_MAX` constants.
|
|
* Add functions:
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`PyTime_AsSecondsDouble`.
|
|
* :c:func:`PyTime_Monotonic`.
|
|
* :c:func:`PyTime_MonotonicRaw`.
|
|
* :c:func:`PyTime_PerfCounter`.
|
|
* :c:func:`PyTime_PerfCounterRaw`.
|
|
* :c:func:`PyTime_Time`.
|
|
* :c:func:`PyTime_TimeRaw`.
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner and Petr Viktorin in :gh:`110850`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyLong_AsNativeBytes`, :c:func:`PyLong_FromNativeBytes` and
|
|
:c:func:`PyLong_FromUnsignedNativeBytes` functions to simplify converting
|
|
between native integer types and Python :class:`int` objects.
|
|
(Contributed by Steve Dower in :gh:`111140`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyType_GetFullyQualifiedName` function to get the type's fully
|
|
qualified name. Equivalent to ``f"{type.__module__}.{type.__qualname__}"``,
|
|
or ``type.__qualname__`` if ``type.__module__`` is not a string or is equal
|
|
to ``"builtins"``.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`111696`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyType_GetModuleName` function to get the type's module name.
|
|
Equivalent to getting the ``type.__module__`` attribute.
|
|
(Contributed by Eric Snow and Victor Stinner in :gh:`111696`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add support for ``%T``, ``%#T``, ``%N`` and ``%#N`` formats to
|
|
:c:func:`PyUnicode_FromFormat`: format the fully qualified name of an object
|
|
type and of a type: call :c:func:`PyType_GetModuleName`. See :pep:`737` for
|
|
more information.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`111696`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`Py_GetConstant` and :c:func:`Py_GetConstantBorrowed` functions
|
|
to get constants. For example, ``Py_GetConstant(Py_CONSTANT_ZERO)`` returns a
|
|
:term:`strong reference` to the constant zero.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`115754`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyType_GetModuleByDef` to the limited C API
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`116936`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add two new functions to the C-API, :c:func:`PyRefTracer_SetTracer` and
|
|
:c:func:`PyRefTracer_GetTracer`, that allows to track object creation and
|
|
destruction the same way the :mod:`tracemalloc` module does. (Contributed

|
Porting to Python 3.13
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
* ``Python.h`` no longer includes the ``<ieeefp.h>`` standard header. It was
|
|
included for the ``finite()`` function which is now provided by the
|
|
``<math.h>`` header. It should now be included explicitly if needed. Remove
|
|
also the ``HAVE_IEEEFP_H`` macro.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108765`.)
|
|
|
|
* ``Python.h`` no longer includes these standard header files: ``<time.h>``,
|
|
``<sys/select.h>`` and ``<sys/time.h>``. If needed, they should now be
|
|
included explicitly. For example, ``<time.h>`` provides the ``clock()`` and
|
|
``gmtime()`` functions, ``<sys/select.h>`` provides the ``select()``
|
|
function, and ``<sys/time.h>`` provides the ``futimes()``, ``gettimeofday()``
|
|
and ``setitimer()`` functions.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108765`.)
|
|
|
|
* On Windows, ``Python.h`` no longer includes the ``<stddef.h>`` standard
|
|
header file. If needed, it should now be included explicitly. For example, it
|
|
provides ``offsetof()`` function, and ``size_t`` and ``ptrdiff_t`` types.
|
|
Including ``<stddef.h>`` explicitly was already needed by all other
|
|
platforms, the ``HAVE_STDDEF_H`` macro is only defined on Windows.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108765`.)
|
|
|
|
* If the :c:macro:`Py_LIMITED_API` macro is defined, :c:macro:`!Py_BUILD_CORE`,
|
|
:c:macro:`!Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN` and :c:macro:`!Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE` macros
|
|
are now undefined by ``<Python.h>``.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`85283`.)
|
|
|
|
* The old trashcan macros ``Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN`` and ``Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END``
|
|
were removed. They should be replaced by the new macros ``Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN``
|
|
and ``Py_TRASHCAN_END``.
|
|
|
|
A ``tp_dealloc`` function that has the old macros, such as::
|
|
|
|
static void
|
|
mytype_dealloc(mytype *p)
|
|
{
|
|
PyObject_GC_UnTrack(p);
|
|
Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN(p);
|
|
...
|
|
Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
should migrate to the new macros as follows::
|
|
|
|
static void
|
|
mytype_dealloc(mytype *p)
|
|
{
|
|
PyObject_GC_UnTrack(p);
|
|
Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN(p, mytype_dealloc)
|
|
...
|
|
Py_TRASHCAN_END
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Note that ``Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN`` has a second argument which
|
|
should be the deallocation function it is in.
|
|
|
|
Deprecated
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* Passing optional arguments *maxsplit*, *count* and *flags* in module-level
|
|
functions :func:`re.split`, :func:`re.sub` and :func:`re.subn` as positional
|
|
arguments is now deprecated.
|
|
In future Python versions these parameters will be
|
|
:ref:`keyword-only <keyword-only_parameter>`.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`56166`.)
|
|
|
|
* Deprecate the old ``Py_UNICODE`` and ``PY_UNICODE_TYPE`` types: use directly
|
|
the :c:type:`wchar_t` type instead. Since Python 3.3, ``Py_UNICODE`` and
|
|
``PY_UNICODE_TYPE`` are just aliases to :c:type:`wchar_t`.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105156`.)
|
|
|
|
* Deprecate old Python initialization functions:
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`PySys_ResetWarnOptions`:
|
|
clear :data:`sys.warnoptions` and :data:`!warnings.filters` instead.
|
|
* :c:func:`Py_GetExecPrefix`: get :data:`sys.exec_prefix` instead.
|
|
* :c:func:`Py_GetPath`: get :data:`sys.path` instead.
|
|
* :c:func:`Py_GetPrefix`: get :data:`sys.prefix` instead.
|
|
* :c:func:`Py_GetProgramFullPath`: get :data:`sys.executable` instead.
|
|
* :c:func:`Py_GetProgramName`: get :data:`sys.executable` instead.

|
|
|
|
* Deprecate the :c:func:`PyImport_ImportModuleNoBlock` function which is just

|
|
reference`: use the new :c:func:`PyWeakref_GetRef` function instead, it
|
|
returns a :term:`strong reference`. The `pythoncapi-compat project
|
|
<https://github.com/python/pythoncapi-compat/>`__ can be used to get

Removed
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* Removed chained :class:`classmethod` descriptors (introduced in
|
|
:gh:`63272`). This can no longer be used to wrap other descriptors
|
|
such as :class:`property`. The core design of this feature was flawed
|
|
and caused a number of downstream problems. To "pass-through" a
|
|
:class:`classmethod`, consider using the :attr:`!__wrapped__`
|
|
attribute that was added in Python 3.10. (Contributed by Raymond
|
|
Hettinger in :gh:`89519`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove many APIs (functions, macros, variables) with names prefixed by
|
|
``_Py`` or ``_PY`` (considered as private API). If your project is affected
|
|
by one of these removals and you consider that the removed API should remain
|
|
available, please open a new issue to request a public C API and
|
|
add ``cc @vstinner`` to the issue to notify Victor Stinner.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106320`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove functions deprecated in Python 3.9:
|
|
|
|
* ``PyEval_CallObject()``, ``PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords()``: use
|
|
:c:func:`PyObject_CallNoArgs` or :c:func:`PyObject_Call` instead.
|
|
Warning: :c:func:`PyObject_Call` positional arguments must be a
|
|
:class:`tuple` and must not be ``NULL``, keyword arguments must be a
|
|
:class:`dict` or ``NULL``, whereas removed functions checked arguments type
|
|
and accepted ``NULL`` positional and keyword arguments.
|
|
To replace ``PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords(func, NULL, kwargs)`` with
|
|
:c:func:`PyObject_Call`, pass an empty tuple as positional arguments using
|
|
:c:func:`PyTuple_New(0) <PyTuple_New>`.
|
|
* ``PyEval_CallFunction()``: use :c:func:`PyObject_CallFunction` instead.
|
|
* ``PyEval_CallMethod()``: use :c:func:`PyObject_CallMethod` instead.
|
|
* ``PyCFunction_Call()``: use :c:func:`PyObject_Call` instead.
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105107`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove old buffer protocols deprecated in Python 3.0. Use :ref:`bufferobjects` instead.
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`!PyObject_CheckReadBuffer`: Use :c:func:`PyObject_CheckBuffer` to
|
|
test if the object supports the buffer protocol.
|
|
Note that :c:func:`PyObject_CheckBuffer` doesn't guarantee that
|
|
:c:func:`PyObject_GetBuffer` will succeed.
|
|
To test if the object is actually readable, see the next example
|
|
of :c:func:`PyObject_GetBuffer`.
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`!PyObject_AsCharBuffer`, :c:func:`!PyObject_AsReadBuffer`:

deprecated in Python 3.11:
|
|
|
|
* ``PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()``: use :c:member:`PyConfig.warnoptions` instead.
|
|
* ``PySys_AddWarnOption()``: use :c:member:`PyConfig.warnoptions` instead.
|
|
* ``PySys_AddXOption()``: use :c:member:`PyConfig.xoptions` instead.
|
|
* ``PySys_HasWarnOptions()``: use :c:member:`PyConfig.xoptions` instead.
|
|
* ``PySys_SetPath()``: set :c:member:`PyConfig.module_search_paths` instead.
|
|
* ``Py_SetPath()``: set :c:member:`PyConfig.module_search_paths` instead.
|
|
* ``Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()``: set :c:member:`PyConfig.stdio_encoding`
|
|
instead, and set also maybe :c:member:`PyConfig.legacy_windows_stdio` (on
|
|
Windows).
|
|
* ``_Py_SetProgramFullPath()``: set :c:member:`PyConfig.executable` instead.
|
|
|

Use the new :c:type:`PyConfig` API of the :ref:`Python Initialization
|
|
Configuration <init-config>` instead (:pep:`587`), added to Python 3.8.

* Remove the old trashcan macros ``Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN`` and
|
|
``Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END``. They should be replaced by the new macros
|
|
``Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN`` and ``Py_TRASHCAN_END``. The new macros were
|
|
added in Python 3.8 and the old macros were deprecated in Python 3.11.

(Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`105111`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove ``PyEval_ThreadsInitialized()``
|
|
function, deprecated in Python 3.9. Since Python 3.7, ``Py_Initialize()``
|
|
always creates the GIL: calling ``PyEval_InitThreads()`` does nothing and
|
|
``PyEval_ThreadsInitialized()`` always returned non-zero.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105182`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove ``PyEval_AcquireLock()`` and ``PyEval_ReleaseLock()`` functions,
|
|
deprecated in Python 3.2. They didn't update the current thread state.
|
|
They can be replaced with:
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`PyEval_SaveThread` and :c:func:`PyEval_RestoreThread`;
|
|
* low-level :c:func:`PyEval_AcquireThread` and :c:func:`PyEval_RestoreThread`;

* or :c:func:`PyGILState_Ensure` and :c:func:`PyGILState_Release`.

use ``PyObject_Vectorcall()`` which is available since Python 3.8
|
|
(:pep:`590`).
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106023`.)

(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106316`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove ``_PyInterpreterState_Get()`` alias to
|
|
:c:func:`PyInterpreterState_Get()` which was kept for backward compatibility
|
|
with Python 3.8. The `pythoncapi-compat project
|
|
<https://github.com/python/pythoncapi-compat/>`__ can be used to get
|
|
:c:func:`PyInterpreterState_Get()` on Python 3.8 and older.

(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106320`.)
|
|
|
|
* The :c:func:`PyModule_AddObject` function is now :term:`soft deprecated`:
|

:c:func:`PyModule_Add` or :c:func:`PyModule_AddObjectRef` functions should
|
|
be used instead.

Regression Test Changes
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
* Python built with :file:`configure` :option:`--with-pydebug` now
|
|
supports a :option:`-X presite=package.module <-X>` command-line
|
|
option. If used, it specifies a module that should be imported early
|
|
in the lifecycle of the interpreter, before ``site.py`` is executed.
