What's New In Python 3.12

****************************

.. 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 bug/patch number as a comment:
|
|
|
|
XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the socket
|
|
module.
|
|
(Contributed by P.Y. Developer in :issue:`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 3.12, compared to 3.11.
|
|
|
|
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 3.12 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 3.12.
|
|
Brevity is key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. PEP-sized items next.
|

|
New Features
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other Language Changes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
* :class:`types.MappingProxyType` instances are now hashable if the underlying
|
|
mapping is hashable.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`87995`.)
|
|
|
|
* :class:`memoryview` now supports the half-float type (the "e" format code).
|
|
(Contributed by Dong-hee Na and Antoine Pitrou in :gh:`90751`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
New Modules
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
* None yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Improved Modules
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
pathlib
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* Add :meth:`~pathlib.Path.walk` for walking the directory trees and generating
|
|
all file or directory names within them, similar to :func:`os.walk`.
|
|
(Contributed by Stanislav Zmiev in :gh:`90385`.)
|
|
|
|
dis
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
* Pseudo instruction opcodes (which are used by the compiler but
|
|
do not appear in executable bytecode) are now exposed in the
|
|
:mod:`dis` module.
|
|
:data:`~dis.HAVE_ARGUMENT` is still relevant to real opcodes,
|
|
but it is not useful for pseudo instructions. Use the new
|
|
:data:`~dis.hasarg` collection instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`94216`.)
|
|
|
|
os
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
* Add :data:`os.PIDFD_NONBLOCK` to open a file descriptor
|
|
for a process with :func:`os.pidfd_open` in non-blocking mode.
|
|
(Contributed by Kumar Aditya in :gh:`93312`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
sqlite3
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* Add a :ref:`command-line interface <sqlite3-cli>`.
|
|
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :gh:`77617`.)
|
|
|
|
threading
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Add :func:`threading.settrace_all_threads` and
|
|
:func:`threading.setprofile_all_threads` that allow to set tracing and
|
|
profiling functions in all running threads in addition to the calling one.
|
|
(Contributed by Pablo Galindo in :gh:`93503`.)
|
|
|
|
unicodedata
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* The Unicode database has been updated to version 15.0.0. (Contributed by
|
|
Benjamin Peterson in :gh:`96734`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optimizations
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
* Removed ``wstr`` and ``wstr_length`` members from Unicode objects.
|
|
It reduces object size by 8 or 16 bytes on 64bit platform. (:pep:`623`)
|
|
(Contributed by Inada Naoki in :gh:`92536`.)
|
|
|
|
* Added experimental support for using the BOLT binary optimizer in the build
|
|
process, which improves performance by 1-5%.
|
|
(Contributed by Kevin Modzelewski in :gh:`90536`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
CPython bytecode changes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
* Removed the :opcode:`LOAD_METHOD` instruction. It has been merged into
|
|
:opcode:`LOAD_ATTR`. :opcode:`LOAD_ATTR` will now behave like the old
|
|
:opcode:`LOAD_METHOD` instruction if the low bit of its oparg is set.
|
|
(Contributed by Ken Jin in :gh:`93429`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deprecated
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
* :class:`typing.Hashable` and :class:`typing.Sized` aliases for :class:`collections.abc.Hashable`
|
|
and :class:`collections.abc.Sized`. (:gh:`94309`.)
|
|
|
|
* The :mod:`sqlite3` :ref:`default adapters and converters
|
|
<sqlite3-default-converters>` are now deprecated.
|
|
Instead, use the :ref:`sqlite3-adapter-converter-recipes`
|
|
and tailor them to your needs.
|
|

|
Pending Removal in Python 3.13
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following modules and APIs have been deprecated in earlier Python releases,
|
|
and will be removed in Python 3.13.
|
|
|
|
Modules (see :pep:`594`):
|
|
|
|
* :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`
|
|
* :mod:`xdrlib`
|
|
|
|
APIs:
|
|
|
|
* :class:`configparser.LegacyInterpolation` (:gh:`90765`)
|
|
* :func:`locale.getdefaultlocale` (:gh:`90817`)
|
|
* :meth:`turtle.RawTurtle.settiltangle` (:gh:`50096`)
|
|
* :func:`unittest.findTestCases` (:gh:`50096`)
|
|
* :func:`unittest.makeSuite` (:gh:`50096`)
|
|
* :func:`unittest.getTestCaseNames` (:gh:`50096`)
|
|
* :class:`webbrowser.MacOSX` (:gh:`86421`)
|
|
|
|
Pending Removal in Python 3.14
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
* Deprecated the following :mod:`importlib.abc` classes, scheduled for removal in
|
|
Python 3.14:
|
|
|
|
* :class:`importlib.abc.ResourceReader`
|
|
* :class:`importlib.abc.Traversable`
|
|
* :class:`importlib.abc.TraversableResources`
|
|
|
|
Use :mod:`importlib.resources.abc` classes instead:
|
|
|
|
* :class:`importlib.resources.abc.TraversableResources`
|
|
* :class:`importlib.resources.abc.Traversable`
|
|
* :class:`importlib.resources.abc.TraversableResources`
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Jason R. Coombs and Hugo van Kemenade in :gh:`93963`.)
|
|
|
|
* Creating :c:data:`immutable types <Py_TPFLAGS_IMMUTABLETYPE>` with mutable
|
|
bases using the C API.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`typing.Text` (:gh:`92332`)
|
|
|
|
* 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`)
|
|
|
|
|
|

=======
|
|
|
|
* Removed many old deprecated :mod:`unittest` features:

|
|
|
- A number of :class:`~unittest.TestCase` method aliases:

You can use https://github.com/isidentical/teyit to automatically modernise
|
|
your unit tests.
|
|
|
|
- Undocumented and broken :class:`~unittest.TestCase` method
|
|
``assertDictContainsSubset`` (deprecated in Python 3.2).
|
|
|
|
- Undocumented :meth:`TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule
|
|
<unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule>` parameter *use_load_tests*
|
|
(deprecated and ignored since Python 3.2).
|
|
|
|
- An alias of the :class:`~unittest.TextTestResult` class:
|
|
``_TextTestResult`` (deprecated in Python 3.2).
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`45162`.)
|
|
|
|
* Several names deprecated in the :mod:`configparser` way back in 3.2 have
|
|
been removed per :gh:`89336`:
|
|
|
|
* :class:`configparser.ParsingError` no longer has a ``filename`` attribute
|
|
or argument. Use the ``source`` attribute and argument instead.
|
|
* :mod:`configparser` no longer has a ``SafeConfigParser`` class. Use the
|
|
shorter :class:`~configparser.ConfigParser` name instead.
|
|
* :class:`configparser.ConfigParser` no longer has a ``readfp`` method.
|
|
Use :meth:`~configparser.ConfigParser.read_file` instead.
|
|
|
|
* The following undocumented :mod:`sqlite3` features, deprecated in Python
|
|
3.10, are now removed:
|
|
|
|
* ``sqlite3.enable_shared_cache()``
|
|
* ``sqlite3.OptimizedUnicode``
|
|
|
|
If a shared cache must be used, open the database in URI mode using the
|
|
``cache=shared`` query parameter.
|
|
|
|
The ``sqlite3.OptimizedUnicode`` text factory has been an alias for
|
|
:class:`str` since Python 3.3. Code that previously set the text factory to
|
|
``OptimizedUnicode`` can either use ``str`` explicitly, or rely on the
|
|
default value which is also ``str``.
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :gh:`92548`.)
|
|
|
|
* The ``--experimental-isolated-subinterpreters`` configure flag
|
|
(and corresponding ``EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS``)
|
|
have been removed.
|
|
|
|
* ``smtpd`` has been removed according to the schedule in :pep:`594`,
|
|
having been deprecated in Python 3.4.7 and 3.5.4.
|
|
Use aiosmtpd_ PyPI module or any other
|
|
:mod:`asyncio`-based server instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Oleg Iarygin in :gh:`93243`.)
|
|
|
|
.. _aiosmtpd: https://pypi.org/project/aiosmtpd/
|
|
|
|
* Remove ``io.OpenWrapper`` and ``_pyio.OpenWrapper``, deprecated in Python
|
|
3.10: just use :func:`open` instead. The :func:`open` (:func:`io.open`)
|
|
function is a built-in function. Since Python 3.10, :func:`_pyio.open` is
|
|
also a static method.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`94169`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove the :func:`ssl.RAND_pseudo_bytes` function, deprecated in Python 3.6:
|
|
use :func:`os.urandom` or :func:`ssl.RAND_bytes` instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`94199`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`gzip`: Remove the ``filename`` attribute of :class:`gzip.GzipFile`,
|
|
deprecated since Python 2.6, use the :attr:`~gzip.GzipFile.name` attribute
|
|
instead. In write mode, the ``filename`` attribute added ``'.gz'`` file
|
|
extension if it was not present.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`94196`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove the :func:`ssl.match_hostname` function. The
|
|
:func:`ssl.match_hostname` was deprecated in Python 3.7. OpenSSL performs
|
|
hostname matching since Python 3.7, Python no longer uses the
|
|
:func:`ssl.match_hostname` function.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`94199`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove the :func:`locale.format` function, deprecated in Python 3.7:
|
|
use :func:`locale.format_string` instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`94226`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`hashlib`: Remove the pure Python implementation of
|
|
:func:`hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac()`, deprecated in Python 3.10. Python 3.10 and
|
|
newer requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 (:pep:`644`): this OpenSSL version provides
|
|
a C implementation of :func:`~hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac()` which is faster.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`94199`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`xml.etree`: Remove the ``ElementTree.Element.copy()`` method of the
|
|
pure Python implementation, deprecated in Python 3.10, use the
|
|
:func:`copy.copy` function instead. The C implementation of :mod:`xml.etree`
|
|
has no ``copy()`` method, only a ``__copy__()`` method.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`94383`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`zipimport`: Remove ``find_loader()`` and ``find_module()`` methods,
|
|
deprecated in Python 3.10: use the ``find_spec()`` method instead. See
|
|
:pep:`451` for the rationale.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`94379`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove the :func:`ssl.wrap_socket` function, deprecated in Python 3.7:
|
|
instead, create a :class:`ssl.SSLContext` object and call its
|
|
:class:`ssl.SSLContext.wrap_socket` method. Any package that still uses
|
|
:func:`ssl.wrap_socket` is broken and insecure. The function neither sends a
|
|
SNI TLS extension nor validates server hostname. Code is subject to `CWE-295
|
|
<https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/295.html>`_: Improper Certificate
|
|
Validation.

Porting to Python 3.12
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
This section lists previously described changes and other bugfixes
|
|
that may require changes to your code.
|
|
|
|
Changes in the Python API
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`91760`.)
|
|
|
|
* Removed randrange() functionality deprecated since Python 3.10. Formerly,
|
|
randrange(10.0) losslessly converted to randrange(10). Now, it raises a
|
|
TypeError. Also, the exception raised for non-integral values such as
|
|
randrange(10.5) or randrange('10') has been changed from ValueError to
|
|
TypeError. This also prevents bugs where ``randrange(1e25)`` would silently
|
|
select from a larger range than ``randrange(10**25)``.
|
|
(Originally suggested by Serhiy Storchaka gh-86388.)
|
|
|
|
* :class:`argparse.ArgumentParser` changed encoding and error handler
|
|
for reading arguments from file (e.g. ``fromfile_prefix_chars`` option)
|
|
from default text encoding (e.g. :func:`locale.getpreferredencoding(False) <locale.getpreferredencoding>`)
|
|
to :term:`filesystem encoding and error handler`.
|
|
Argument files should be encoded in UTF-8 instead of ANSI Codepage on Windows.
|
|
|
|
* Removed the ``asyncore``-based ``smtpd`` module deprecated in Python 3.4.7
|
|
and 3.5.4. A recommended replacement is the
|
|
:mod:`asyncio`-based aiosmtpd_ PyPI module.
|
|
|
|
* :func:`shlex.split`: Passing ``None`` for *s* argument now raises an
|
|
exception, rather than reading :data:`sys.stdin`. The feature was deprecated
|
|
in Python 3.9.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`94352`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build Changes
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
* Python no longer uses ``setup.py`` to build shared C extension modules.
|
|
Build parameters like headers and libraries are detected in ``configure``
|
|
script. Extensions are built by ``Makefile``. Most extensions use
|
|
``pkg-config`` and fall back to manual detection.
|
|
(Contributed by Christian Heimes in :gh:`93939`.)
|
|
|
|
* ``va_start()`` with two parameters, like ``va_start(args, format),``
|
|
is now required to build Python.
|
|
``va_start()`` is no longer called with a single parameter.
|
|
(Contributed by Kumar Aditya in :gh:`93207`.)
|
|
|
|
* CPython now uses the ThinLTO option as the default link time optimization policy
|
|
if the Clang compiler accepts the flag.
|
|
(Contributed by Dong-hee Na in :gh:`89536`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
C API Changes
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* Added the new limited C API function :c:func:`PyType_FromMetaclass`,
|
|
which generalizes the existing :c:func:`PyType_FromModuleAndSpec` using
|
|
an additional metaclass argument.
|
|
(Contributed by Wenzel Jakob in :gh:`93012`.)
|
|
|
|
* API for creating objects that can be called using
|
|
:ref:`the vectorcall protocol <vectorcall>` was added to the
|
|
:ref:`Limited API <stable>`:
|
|
|
|
* :const:`Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyVectorcall_NARGS`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyVectorcall_Call`
|
|
* :c:type:`vectorcallfunc`
|
|
|
|
The :const:`Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL` flag is now removed from a class
|
|
when the class's :py:meth:`~object.__call__` method is reassigned.
|
|
This makes vectorcall safe to use with mutable types (i.e. heap types
|
|
without the :const:`immutable <Py_TPFLAGS_IMMUTABLETYPE>` flag).
|
|
Mutable types that do not override :c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_call` now
|
|
inherit the ``Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL`` flag.
|
|
(Contributed by Petr Viktorin in :gh:`93274`.)
|
|
|
|
The :const:`Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_DICT` and :const:`Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_WEAKREF`
|
|
flags have been added. This allows extensions classes to support object

|
``__dict__`` and weakrefs with less bookkeeping,
|
|
using less memory and with faster access.
|
|
|
|
* Added two new public functions,
|
|
:c:func:`PyEval_SetProfileAllThreads` and
|
|
:c:func:`PyEval_SetTraceAllThreads`, that allow to set tracing and profiling
|
|
functions in all running threads in addition to the calling one. (Contributed
|
|
by Pablo Galindo in :gh:`93503`.)
|
|
|
|
* Added new function :c:func:`PyFunction_SetVectorcall` to the C API
|
|
which sets the vectorcall field of a given :c:type:`PyFunctionObject`.

Porting to Python 3.12
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
* Legacy Unicode APIs based on ``Py_UNICODE*`` representation has been removed.
|
|
Please migrate to APIs based on UTF-8 or ``wchar_t*``.
|
|
|
|
* Argument parsing functions like :c:func:`PyArg_ParseTuple` doesn't support
|
|
``Py_UNICODE*`` based format (e.g. ``u``, ``Z``) anymore. Please migrate
|
|
to other formats for Unicode like ``s``, ``z``, ``es``, and ``U``.
|
|
|
|
* ``tp_weaklist`` for all static builtin types is always ``NULL``.
|
|
This is an internal-only field on ``PyTypeObject``
|
|
but we're pointing out the change in case someone happens to be
|
|
accessing the field directly anyway. To avoid breakage, consider
|
|
using the existing public C-API instead, or, if necessary, the
|
|
(internal-only) ``_PyObject_GET_WEAKREFS_LISTPTR()`` macro.
|
|
|
|
* This internal-only :c:member:`PyTypeObject.tp_subclasses` may now not be
|
|
a valid object pointer. Its type was changed to :c:expr:`void *` to
|
|
reflect this. We mention this in case someone happens to be accessing the
|
|
internal-only field directly.
|
|
|
|
To get a list of subclasses, call the Python method
|
|
:py:meth:`~class.__subclasses__` (using :c:func:`PyObject_CallMethod`,
|
|
for example).
|
|
|
|
* An unrecognized format character in :c:func:`PyUnicode_FromFormat` and
|
|
:c:func:`PyUnicode_FromFormatV` now sets a :exc:`SystemError`.
|
|
In previous versions it caused all the rest of the format string to be
|
|
copied as-is to the result string, and any extra arguments discarded.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`95781`.)
|
|
|
|
* Fixed wrong sign placement in :c:func:`PyUnicode_FromFormat` and
|
|
:c:func:`PyUnicode_FromFormatV`.
|
|
(Contributed by Philip Georgi in :gh:`95504`.)
|
|
|
|
* Extension classes wanting to add a ``__dict__`` or weak reference slot
|
|
should use :const:`Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_DICT` and
|
|
:const:`Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_WEAKREF` instead of ``tp_dictoffset`` and
|
|
``tp_weaklistoffset``, respectively.
|
|
The use of ``tp_dictoffset`` and ``tp_weaklistoffset`` is still
|
|
supported, but does not fully support multiple inheritance
|
|
(:gh: `95589`), and performance may be worse.
|
|
Classes declaring :const:`Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_DICT` should call
|
|
:c:func:`_PyObject_VisitManagedDict` and :c:func:`_PyObject_ClearManagedDict`
|
|
to traverse and clear their instance's dictionaries.
|
|
To clear weakrefs, call :c:func:`PyObject_ClearWeakRefs`, as before.
