What's New In Python 3.13
|
|
****************************
|
|
|
|
:Editor: TBD
|
|
|
|
.. 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
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`.
|

|
|
|
|
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`.)
|
|
|
|
* 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`.)
|
|
|
|
* 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`.)

|
|
|
New Modules
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
* None yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Improved Modules
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
ast
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
* :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`).
|
|
|
|
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`.)
|
|
|
|
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`.)
|
|
|
|
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,
|
|
various :mod:`datetime` objects, :class:`~inspect.Signature` objects,
|
|
:class:`~inspect.Parameter` objects, :ref:`code object <code-objects>`, and
|
|
any user classes which define the :meth:`!__replace__` method.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`108751`.)
|
|
|
|
dis
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
* Change the output of :mod:`dis` module functions to show logical
|
|
labels for jump targets and exception handlers, rather than offsets.
|
|
The offsets can be added with the new ``-O`` command line option or
|
|
the ``show_offsets`` parameter.
|
|
(Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`112137`.)
|
|
|
|
dbm
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
* Add :meth:`dbm.gnu.gdbm.clear` and :meth:`dbm.ndbm.ndbm.clear` methods that remove all items
|
|
from the database.
|
|
(Contributed by Donghee Na in :gh:`107122`.)
|
|
|
|
doctest
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* The :meth:`doctest.DocTestRunner.run` method now counts the number of skipped
|
|
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 use to
|
|
check if the *strict* paramater is available.
|
|
(Contributed by Thomas Dwyer and Victor Stinner for :gh:`102988` to improve
|
|
the CVE-2023-27043 fix.)
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
in :gh:`111320`)
|
|
|
|
glob
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* Add :func:`glob.translate` function that converts a path specification with
|
|
shell-style wildcards to a regular expression.
|
|
(Contributed by Barney Gale in :gh:`72904`.)
|
|
|
|
io
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
The :class:`io.IOBase` finalizer now logs the ``close()`` method errors with
|
|
:data:`sys.unraisablehook`. Previously, errors were ignored silently by default,
|
|
and only logged in :ref:`Python Development Mode <devmode>` or on :ref:`Python
|
|
built on debug mode <debug-build>`.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`62948`.)
|
|
|
|
ipaddress
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Add the :attr:`ipaddress.IPv4Address.ipv6_mapped` property, which returns the IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.
|
|
(Contributed by Charles Machalow in :gh:`109466`.)
|
|
|
|
mmap
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* The :class:`mmap.mmap` class now has an :meth:`~mmap.mmap.seekable` method
|
|
that can be used where it requires a file-like object with seekable and
|
|
the :meth:`~mmap.mmap.seek` method return the new absolute position.
|
|
(Contributed by Donghee Na and Sylvie Liberman in :gh:`111835`.)
|
|
|
|
opcode
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
* Move ``opcode.ENABLE_SPECIALIZATION`` to ``_opcode.ENABLE_SPECIALIZATION``.
|
|
This field was added in 3.12, it was never documented and is not intended for
|
|
external usage. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`105481`.)
|
|
|
|
* Removed ``opcode.is_pseudo``, ``opcode.MIN_PSEUDO_OPCODE`` and
|
|
``opcode.MAX_PSEUDO_OPCODE``, which were added in 3.12, were never
|
|
documented or exposed through ``dis``, and were not intended to be
|
|
used externally.
|
|
|
|
os
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
* Add :func:`os.process_cpu_count` function to get the number of logical CPUs
|
|
usable by the calling thread of the current process.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`109649`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add a low level interface for Linux's timer notification file descriptors
|
|
via :func:`os.timerfd_create`,
|
|
:func:`os.timerfd_settime`, :func:`os.timerfd_settime_ns`,
|
|
:func:`os.timerfd_gettime`, and :func:`os.timerfd_gettime_ns`,
|
|
:const:`os.TFD_NONBLOCK`, :const:`os.TFD_CLOEXEC`,
|
|
:const:`os.TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME`, and :const:`os.TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET`
|
|
(Contributed by Masaru Tsuchiyama in :gh:`108277`.)
|
|
|
|
* :func:`os.cpu_count` and :func:`os.process_cpu_count` can be overridden through
|
|
the new environment variable :envvar:`PYTHON_CPU_COUNT` or the new command-line option
|
|
:option:`-X cpu_count <-X>`. This option is useful for users who need to limit
|
|
CPU resources of a container system without having to modify the container (application code).
|
|
(Contributed by Donghee Na in :gh:`109595`)
|
|
|
|
* Add support of :func:`os.lchmod` and the *follow_symlinks* argument
|
|
in :func:`os.chmod` on Windows.
|
|
Note that the default value of *follow_symlinks* in :func:`!os.lchmod` is
|
|
``False`` on Windows.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`59616`)
|
|
|
|
* Add support of :func:`os.fchmod` and a file descriptor
|
|
in :func:`os.chmod` on Windows.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`113191`)
|
|
|
|
* :func:`os.posix_spawn` now accepts ``env=None``, which makes the newly spawned
|
|
process use the current process environment.
|
|
(Contributed by Jakub Kulik in :gh:`113119`.)
|
|
|
|
* :func:`os.posix_spawn` gains an :attr:`os.POSIX_SPAWN_CLOSEFROM` attribute for
|
|
use in ``file_actions=`` on platforms that support
|
|
:c:func:`!posix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom_np`.
|
|
(Contributed by Jakub Kulik in :gh:`113117`.)
|
|
|
|
pathlib
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* Add :exc:`pathlib.UnsupportedOperation`, which is raised instead of
|
|
:exc:`NotImplementedError` when a path operation isn't supported.
|
|
(Contributed by Barney Gale in :gh:`89812`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :meth:`pathlib.Path.from_uri`, a new constructor to create a :class:`pathlib.Path`
|
|
object from a 'file' URI (``file:/``).
|
|
(Contributed by Barney Gale in :gh:`107465`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add support for recursive wildcards in :meth:`pathlib.PurePath.match`.
|
|
(Contributed by Barney Gale in :gh:`73435`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add *follow_symlinks* keyword-only argument to :meth:`pathlib.Path.glob`,
|
|
:meth:`~pathlib.Path.rglob`, :meth:`~pathlib.Path.is_file`,
|
|
:meth:`~pathlib.Path.is_dir`, :meth:`~pathlib.Path.owner`,
|
|
:meth:`~pathlib.Path.group`.
|
|
(Contributed by Barney Gale in :gh:`77609` and :gh:`105793`, and
|
|
Kamil Turek in :gh:`107962`).
|
|
|
|
pdb
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
* Add ability to move between chained exceptions during post mortem debugging in :func:`~pdb.pm` using
|
|
the new ``exceptions [exc_number]`` command for Pdb. (Contributed by Matthias
|
|
Bussonnier in :gh:`106676`.)
|
|
|
|
* Expressions/Statements whose prefix is a pdb command are now correctly
|
|
identified and executed.
|
|
(Contributed by Tian Gao in :gh:`108464`.)
|
|
|
|
* ``sys.path[0]`` will no longer be replaced by the directory of the script
|
|
being debugged when ``sys.flags.safe_path`` is set (via the :option:`-P`
|
|
command line option or :envvar:`PYTHONSAFEPATH` environment variable).
|
|
(Contributed by Tian Gao and Christian Walther in :gh:`111762`.)
|
|
|
|
re
|
|
--
|
|
* Rename :exc:`!re.error` to :exc:`re.PatternError` for improved clarity.
|
|
:exc:`!re.error` is kept for backward compatibility.
|
|
|
|
sqlite3
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* A :exc:`ResourceWarning` is now emitted if a :class:`sqlite3.Connection`
|
|
object is not :meth:`closed <sqlite3.Connection.close>` explicitly.
|
|
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :gh:`105539`.)
|
|
|
|
subprocess
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* The :mod:`subprocess` module now uses the :func:`os.posix_spawn` function in
|
|
more situations. Notably in the default case of ``close_fds=True`` on more
|
|
recent versions of platforms including Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris where the
|
|
C library provides :c:func:`!posix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom_np`.
|
|
On Linux this should perform similar to our existing Linux :c:func:`!vfork`
|
|
based code. A private control knob :attr:`!subprocess._USE_POSIX_SPAWN` can
|
|
be set to ``False`` if you need to force :mod:`subprocess` not to ever use
|
|
:func:`os.posix_spawn`. Please report your reason and platform details in
|
|
the CPython issue tracker if you set this so that we can improve our API
|
|
selection logic for everyone.
|
|
(Contributed by Jakub Kulik in :gh:`113117`.)
|
|
|
|
sys
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
* Add the :func:`sys._is_interned` function to test if the string was interned.
|
|
This function is not guaranteed to exist in all implementations of Python.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`78573`.)
|
|
|
|
tkinter
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* Add :mod:`tkinter` widget methods:
|
|
:meth:`!tk_busy_hold`, :meth:`!tk_busy_configure`,
|
|
:meth:`!tk_busy_cget`, :meth:`!tk_busy_forget`,
|
|
:meth:`!tk_busy_current`, and :meth:`!tk_busy_status`.
|
|
(Contributed by Miguel, klappnase and Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`72684`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add support of the "vsapi" element type in
|
|
the :meth:`~tkinter.ttk.Style.element_create` method of
|
|
:class:`tkinter.ttk.Style`.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`68166`.)
|
|
|
|
traceback
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Add *show_group* parameter to :func:`traceback.TracebackException.format_exception_only`
|
|
to format the nested exceptions of a :exc:`BaseExceptionGroup` instance, recursively.
|
|
(Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`105292`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add the field *exc_type_str* to :class:`~traceback.TracebackException`, which
|
|
holds a string display of the *exc_type*. Deprecate the field *exc_type*
|
|
which holds the type object itself. Add parameter *save_exc_type* (default
|
|
``True``) to indicate whether ``exc_type`` should be saved.
|
|
(Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`112332`.)
|
|
|
|
typing
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
* Add :func:`typing.get_protocol_members` to return the set of members
|
|
defining a :class:`typing.Protocol`. Add :func:`typing.is_protocol` to
|
|
check whether a class is a :class:`typing.Protocol`. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in
|
|
:gh:`104873`.)
|
|
|
|
unicodedata
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* The Unicode database has been updated to version 15.1.0. (Contributed by
|
|
James Gerity in :gh:`109559`.)
|
|
|
|
venv
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* Add support for adding source control management (SCM) ignore files to a
|
|
virtual environment's directory. By default, Git is supported. This is
|
|
implemented as opt-in via the API which can be extended to support other SCMs
|
|
(:class:`venv.EnvBuilder` and :func:`venv.create`), and opt-out via the CLI
|
|
(using ``--without-scm-ignore-files``). (Contributed by Brett Cannon in
|
|
:gh:`108125`.)
|
|
|
|
warnings
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* The new :func:`warnings.deprecated` decorator provides a way to communicate
|
|
deprecations to :term:`static type checkers <static type checker>` and
|
|
to warn on usage of deprecated classes and functions. A runtime deprecation
|
|
warning may also be emitted when a decorated function or class is used at runtime.
|
|
See :pep:`702`. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in :gh:`104003`.)
|
|
|
|
Optimizations
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
* :func:`textwrap.indent` is now ~30% faster than before for large input.
|
|
(Contributed by Inada Naoki in :gh:`107369`.)
|
|
|
|
* The :mod:`subprocess` module uses :func:`os.posix_spawn` in more situations
|
|
including the default where ``close_fds=True`` on many modern platforms. This
|
|
should provide a noteworthy performance increase launching processes on
|
|
FreeBSD and Solaris. See the ``subprocess`` section above for details.
|
|
(Contributed by Jakub Kulik in :gh:`113117`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

* :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:`getopt` and :mod:`optparse` modules: They are now
|
|
:term:`soft deprecated`: the :mod:`argparse` 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:`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.

|
|
* The field *exc_type* of :class:`traceback.TracebackException` is
|
|
deprecated. Use *exc_type_str* instead.
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`typing`:
|
|
|
|
* Creating a :class:`typing.NamedTuple` class using keyword arguments to denote
|
|
the fields (``NT = NamedTuple("NT", x=int, y=int)``) is deprecated, and will
|
|
be disallowed in Python 3.15. Use the class-based syntax or the functional
|
|
syntax instead. (Contributed by Alex Waygood in :gh:`105566`.)
|
|
|
|
* When using the functional syntax to create a :class:`typing.NamedTuple`
|
|
class or a :class:`typing.TypedDict` class, failing to pass a value to the
|
|
'fields' parameter (``NT = NamedTuple("NT")`` or ``TD = TypedDict("TD")``) is
|
|
deprecated. Passing ``None`` to the 'fields' parameter
|
|
(``NT = NamedTuple("NT", None)`` or ``TD = TypedDict("TD", None)``) is also
|
|
deprecated. Both will be disallowed in Python 3.15. To create a NamedTuple
|
|
class with 0 fields, use ``class NT(NamedTuple): pass`` or
|
|
``NT = NamedTuple("NT", [])``. To create a TypedDict class with 0 fields, use
|
|
``class TD(TypedDict): pass`` or ``TD = TypedDict("TD", {})``.

|
* :func:`typing.no_type_check_decorator` is deprecated, and scheduled for
|
|
removal in Python 3.15. After eight years in the :mod:`typing` module, it
|
|
has yet to be supported by any major type checkers.
|
|
(Contributed by Alex Waygood in :gh:`106309`.)
|
|
|
|
* :data:`typing.AnyStr` is deprecated. In Python 3.16, it will be removed from
|
|
``typing.__all__``, and a :exc:`DeprecationWarning` will be emitted when it
|
|
is imported or accessed. It will be removed entirely in Python 3.18. Use
|
|
the new :ref:`type parameter syntax <type-params>` instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Michael The in :gh:`107116`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`wave`: Deprecate the ``getmark()``, ``setmark()`` and ``getmarkers()``
|

|
|
They will be removed in Python 3.15.

|
|
|
|
* Passing more than one positional argument to :func:`sqlite3.connect` and the
|
|
:class:`sqlite3.Connection` constructor is deprecated. The remaining
|
|
parameters will become keyword-only in Python 3.15.
|
|
|
|
Deprecate passing name, number of arguments, and the callable as keyword
|
|
arguments, for the following :class:`sqlite3.Connection` APIs:
|
|
|
|
* :meth:`~sqlite3.Connection.create_function`
|
|
* :meth:`~sqlite3.Connection.create_aggregate`
|
|

* :meth:`~sqlite3.Connection.set_authorizer`
|
|
* :meth:`~sqlite3.Connection.set_progress_handler`

This will be removed in 3.14 for a significant reduction in code
|
|
volume and maintenance burden.

(Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in :gh:`101588`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`multiprocessing`: The default start method will change to a safer one on
|
|
Linux, BSDs, and other non-macOS POSIX platforms where ``'fork'`` is currently
|
|
the default (:gh:`84559`). Adding a runtime warning about this was deemed too
|
|
disruptive as the majority of code is not expected to care. Use the
|
|
:func:`~multiprocessing.get_context` or
|
|
:func:`~multiprocessing.set_start_method` APIs to explicitly specify when

|
|
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`)

|
|
:func:`urllib.parse.parse_qsl` for ``GET`` and ``HEAD`` requests,
|
|
and the :mod:`email.message` module or `multipart
|
|
<https://pypi.org/project/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 `multipart <https://pypi.org/project/multipart/>`__ PyPI project.

|
|
* :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:
|
|
|
|
* `bcrypt <https://pypi.org/project/bcrypt/>`_:
|
|
Modern password hashing for your software and your servers.

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
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
* :meth:`!tkinter.Text.count` now always returns an integer if one or less
|
|
counting options are specified.
|
|
Previously it could return a single count as a 1-tuple, an integer (only if
|
|
option ``"update"`` was specified) or ``None`` if no items found.
|
|
The result is now the same if ``wantobjects`` is set to ``0``.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`97928`.)
|
|
|
|
* 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 occurred during calling
|
|
the function, report now them using :func:`sys.unraisablehook`.
|
|
You can consider to replace these functions with other functions as
|
|
recomended 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 returns ``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.

Build Changes
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
* Autoconf 2.71 and aclocal 1.16.4 is now required to regenerate
|
|
the :file:`configure` script.
|
|
(Contributed by Christian Heimes in :gh:`89886`.)
|
|
|
|
* 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 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``, ``md5``, ``resource``, ``winsound``, ``_ctypes_test``,
|
|
``_multiprocessing.posixshmem``, ``_scproxy``, ``_stat``,
|
|
``_testimportmultiple`` and ``_uuid`` C extensions are now built with the
|
|
:ref:`limited C API <limited-c-api>`.

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` has now 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`.)
|
|
|
|
* Added :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_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`.)
|
|
|
|
* 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.

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`.)
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* 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.

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.

|
|
|
|
* Deprecate the old ``Py_UNICODE`` and ``PY_UNICODE_TYPE`` types: use directly
|

:c:func:`PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT` functions, which return a :term:`borrowed
|
|
reference`: use the new :c:func:`PyWeakref_GetRef` function instead, it
|
|
returns a :term:`strong reference`. The `pythoncapi-compat project

Removed
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* Removed chained :class:`classmethod` descriptors (introduced in
|
|
:issue:`19072`). 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`:
|
|
:c:func:`PyObject_GetBuffer` and :c:func:`PyBuffer_Release` instead:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
Py_buffer view;
|
|
if (PyObject_GetBuffer(obj, &view, PyBUF_SIMPLE) < 0) {
|
|
return NULL;
|
|
}
|
|
// Use `view.buf` and `view.len` to read from the buffer.
|
|
// You may need to cast buf as `(const char*)view.buf`.
|
|
PyBuffer_Release(&view);
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`!PyObject_AsWriteBuffer`: Use
|
|
:c:func:`PyObject_GetBuffer` and :c:func:`PyBuffer_Release` instead:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
Py_buffer view;
|
|
if (PyObject_GetBuffer(obj, &view, PyBUF_WRITABLE) < 0) {

|
* Remove the following old functions to configure the Python initialization,
|
|
deprecated in Python 3.11:
|
|
|
|
* ``PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()``: use :c:member:`PyConfig.warnoptions` instead.

|
|
They can be replaced with:
|
