.. 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 3.14, compared to 3.13.
|
|
|
|
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 3.14 moves towards release,
|
|
so it's worth checking back even after reading earlier versions.

New Features
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
.. _whatsnew-314-pep649:
|
|
|
|
PEP 649: Deferred Evaluation of Annotations
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The :term:`annotations <annotation>` on functions, classes, and modules are no
|
|
longer evaluated eagerly. Instead, annotations are stored in special-purpose
|
|
:term:`annotate functions <annotate function>` and evaluated only when
|
|
necessary. This is specified in :pep:`649` and :pep:`749`.
|
|
|
|
This change is designed to make annotations in Python more performant and more
|
|
usable in most circumstances. The runtime cost for defining annotations is
|
|
minimized, but it remains possible to introspect annotations at runtime.
|
|
It is usually no longer necessary to enclose annotations in strings if they
|
|
contain forward references.
|
|
|
|
The new :mod:`annotationlib` module provides tools for inspecting deferred
|
|
annotations. Annotations may be evaluated in the :attr:`~annotationlib.Format.VALUE`
|
|
format (which evaluates annotations to runtime values, similar to the behavior in
|
|
earlier Python versions), the :attr:`~annotationlib.Format.FORWARDREF` format
|
|
(which replaces undefined names with special markers), and the
|
|
:attr:`~annotationlib.Format.STRING` format (which returns annotations as strings).
|
|
|
|
This example shows how these formats behave:
|
|
|
|
.. doctest::
|
|
|
|
>>> from annotationlib import get_annotations, Format
|
|
>>> def func(arg: Undefined):
|
|
... pass
|
|
>>> get_annotations(func, format=Format.VALUE)
|
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
|
...
|
|
NameError: name 'Undefined' is not defined
|
|
>>> get_annotations(func, format=Format.FORWARDREF)
|
|
{'arg': ForwardRef('Undefined')}
|
|
>>> get_annotations(func, format=Format.STRING)
|
|
{'arg': 'Undefined'}
|
|
|
|
Implications for annotated code
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If you define annotations in your code (for example, for use with a static type
|
|
checker), then this change probably does not affect you: you can keep
|
|
writing annotations the same way you did with previous versions of Python.
|
|
|
|
You will likely be able to remove quoted strings in annotations, which are frequently
|
|
used for forward references. Similarly, if you use ``from __future__ import annotations``
|
|
to avoid having to write strings in annotations, you may well be able to
|
|
remove that import. However, if you rely on third-party libraries that read annotations,
|
|
those libraries may need changes to support unquoted annotations before they
|
|
work as expected.
|
|
|
|
Implications for readers of ``__annotations__``
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If your code reads the ``__annotations__`` attribute on objects, you may want
|
|
to make changes in order to support code that relies on deferred evaluation of
|
|
annotations. For example, you may want to use :func:`annotationlib.get_annotations`
|
|
with the :attr:`~annotationlib.Format.FORWARDREF` format, as the :mod:`dataclasses`
|
|
module now does.
|
|
|
|
Related changes
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The changes in Python 3.14 are designed to rework how ``__annotations__``
|
|
works at runtime while minimizing breakage to code that contains
|
|
annotations in source code and to code that reads ``__annotations__``. However,
|
|
if you rely on undocumented details of the annotation behavior or on private
|
|
functions in the standard library, there are many ways in which your code may
|
|
not work in Python 3.14. To safeguard your code against future changes,
|
|
use only the documented functionality of the :mod:`annotationlib` module.
|
|
|
|
``from __future__ import annotations``
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
In Python 3.7, :pep:`563` introduced the ``from __future__ import annotations``
|
|
directive, which turns all annotations into strings. This directive is now
|
|
considered deprecated and it is expected to be removed in a future version of Python.
|
|
However, this removal will not happen until after Python 3.13, the last version of
|
|
Python without deferred evaluation of annotations, reaches its end of life.
|
|
In Python 3.14, the behavior of code using ``from __future__ import annotations``
|
|
is unchanged.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Improved Error Messages
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
* When unpacking assignment fails due to incorrect number of variables, the
|
|
error message prints the received number of values in more cases than before.
|
|

>>> x, y, z = 1, 2, 3, 4
|
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
|

|
|

|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 3, got 4)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other Language Changes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
* Incorrect usage of :keyword:`await` and asynchronous comprehensions
|
|
is now detected even if the code is optimized away by the :option:`-O`
|
|
command line option. For example, ``python -O -c 'assert await 1'``
|
|
now produces a :exc:`SyntaxError`. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in :gh:`121637`.)
|
|
|
|
* Writes to ``__debug__`` are now detected even if the code is optimized
|
|
away by the :option:`-O` command line option. For example,
|
|
``python -O -c 'assert (__debug__ := 1)'`` now produces a
|
|
:exc:`SyntaxError`. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`122245`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add class methods :meth:`float.from_number` and :meth:`complex.from_number`
|
|
to convert a number to :class:`float` or :class:`complex` type correspondingly.
|
|
They raise an error if the argument is a string.

|
|
pdb
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
* Hard-coded breakpoints (:func:`breakpoint` and :func:`pdb.set_trace`) now
|
|
reuse the most recent :class:`~pdb.Pdb` instance that calls
|
|
:meth:`~pdb.Pdb.set_trace`, instead of creating a new one each time.
|
|
As a result, all the instance specific data like :pdbcmd:`display` and
|
|
:pdbcmd:`commands` are preserved across hard-coded breakpoints.
|
|
(Contributed by Tian Gao in :gh:`121450`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add a new argument *mode* to :class:`pdb.Pdb`. Disable the ``restart``
|

|
Optimizations
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
asyncio
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`asyncio` now uses double linked list implementation for native tasks
|
|
which speeds up execution by 10% on standard pyperformance benchmarks and
|
|
reduces memory usage.
|
|
(Contributed by Kumar Aditya in :gh:`107803`.)
|
|
|
|
Deprecated
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`asyncio`:
|
|
:func:`!asyncio.iscoroutinefunction` is deprecated
|
|
and will be removed in Python 3.16,
|
|
use :func:`inspect.iscoroutinefunction` instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Jiahao Li and Kumar Aditya in :gh:`122875`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`builtins`:
|
|
Passing a complex number as the *real* or *imag* argument in the
|
|
:func:`complex` constructor is now deprecated; it should only be passed
|
|
as a single positional argument.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`109218`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`multiprocessing` and :mod:`concurrent.futures`:
|
|
The default start method (see :ref:`multiprocessing-start-methods`) changed
|
|
away from *fork* to *forkserver* on platforms where it was not already
|
|
*spawn* (Windows & macOS). If you require the threading incompatible *fork*
|
|
start method you must explicitly specify it when using :mod:`multiprocessing`
|
|
or :mod:`concurrent.futures` APIs.
|
|
(Contributed by Gregory P. Smith in :gh:`84559`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`os`:
|
|
:term:`Soft deprecate <soft deprecated>` :func:`os.popen` and
|
|
:func:`os.spawn* <os.spawnl>` functions. They should no longer be used to
|
|
write new code. The :mod:`subprocess` module is recommended instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`120743`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`symtable`:
|
|
Deprecate :meth:`symtable.Class.get_methods` due to the lack of interest.
|
|

Removed
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
argparse
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* Remove the *type*, *choices*, and *metavar* parameters
|
|
of :class:`!argparse.BooleanOptionalAction`.
|
|
They were deprecated since 3.12.
|
|
|
|
ast
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
* Remove the following classes. They were all deprecated since Python 3.8,
|
|
and have emitted deprecation warnings since Python 3.12:
|
|
|
|
* :class:`!ast.Num`
|
|
* :class:`!ast.Str`
|
|
* :class:`!ast.Bytes`
|
|
* :class:`!ast.NameConstant`
|
|
* :class:`!ast.Ellipsis`
|
|
|
|
Use :class:`ast.Constant` instead. As a consequence of these removals,
|
|
user-defined ``visit_Num``, ``visit_Str``, ``visit_Bytes``,
|
|
``visit_NameConstant`` and ``visit_Ellipsis`` methods on custom
|
|
:class:`ast.NodeVisitor` subclasses will no longer be called when the
|
|
:class:`!NodeVisitor` subclass is visiting an AST. Define a ``visit_Constant``
|
|
method instead.
|
|
|
|
Also, remove the following deprecated properties on :class:`ast.Constant`,
|
|
which were present for compatibility with the now-removed AST classes:
|
|
|
|
* :attr:`!ast.Constant.n`
|
|
* :attr:`!ast.Constant.s`
|
|
|
|
Use :attr:`!ast.Constant.value` instead.

-------
|
|
|
|
* Remove :data:`!version` and :data:`!version_info` from :mod:`sqlite3`.
|
|
(Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :gh:`118924`.)
|
|
|
|
* Disallow using a sequence of parameters with named placeholders.
|
|
This had previously raised a :exc:`DeprecationWarning` since Python 3.12;
|
|
it will now raise a :exc:`sqlite3.ProgrammingError`.

|
|
|
|
* The :func:`int` built-in no longer delegates to

======================
|
|
|
|
This section lists previously described changes and other bugfixes
|
|
that may require changes to your code.
|
|
|
|
Changes in the Python API
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
* :class:`functools.partial` is now a method descriptor.
|
|
Wrap it in :func:`staticmethod` if you want to preserve the old behavior.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka and Dominykas Grigonis in :gh:`121027`.)
|
|
|
|
* The :func:`locale.nl_langinfo` function now sets temporarily the ``LC_CTYPE``
|
|
locale in some cases.
|
|
This temporary change affects other threads.

New Features
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyLong_GetSign` function to get the sign of :class:`int` objects.
|
|
(Contributed by Sergey B Kirpichev in :gh:`116560`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add a new :c:type:`PyUnicodeWriter` API to create a Python :class:`str`
|
|
object:
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`PyUnicodeWriter_Create`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyUnicodeWriter_Discard`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyUnicodeWriter_Finish`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyUnicodeWriter_WriteChar`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyUnicodeWriter_WriteUTF8`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyUnicodeWriter_WriteUCS4`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyUnicodeWriter_WriteWideChar`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyUnicodeWriter_WriteStr`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyUnicodeWriter_WriteRepr`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyUnicodeWriter_WriteSubstring`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyUnicodeWriter_Format`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyUnicodeWriter_DecodeUTF8Stateful`
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`119182`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyIter_NextItem` to replace :c:func:`PyIter_Next`,
|
|
which has an ambiguous return value.
|
|
(Contributed by Irit Katriel and Erlend Aasland in :gh:`105201`.)
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`Py_Finalize` now deletes all interned strings. This
|
|
is backwards incompatible to any C-Extension that holds onto an interned
|
|
string after a call to :c:func:`Py_Finalize` and is then reused after a
|
|
call to :c:func:`Py_Initialize`. Any issues arising from this behavior will
|
|
normally result in crashes during the execution of the subsequent call to
|
|
:c:func:`Py_Initialize` from accessing uninitialized memory. To fix, use
|
|
an address sanitizer to identify any use-after-free coming from
|
|
an interned string and deallocate it during module shutdown.
|
|
(Contributed by Eddie Elizondo in :gh:`113601`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add new functions to convert C ``<stdint.h>`` numbers from/to Python
|
|
:class:`int`:
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`PyLong_FromInt32`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyLong_FromInt64`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyLong_FromUInt32`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyLong_FromUInt64`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyLong_AsInt32`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyLong_AsInt64`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyLong_AsUInt32`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyLong_AsUInt64`
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`120389`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyBytes_Join(sep, iterable) <PyBytes_Join>` function,
|
|
similar to ``sep.join(iterable)`` in Python.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`121645`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`Py_HashBuffer` to compute and return the hash value of a buffer.
|
|
(Contributed by Antoine Pitrou and Victor Stinner in :gh:`122854`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add functions to get and set the current runtime Python configuration
|
|
(:pep:`741`):
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`PyConfig_Get`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyConfig_GetInt`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyConfig_Set`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyConfig_Names`
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`107954`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add functions to configure the Python initialization (:pep:`741`):
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_Create`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_Free`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_GetError`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_GetExitCode`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_HasOption`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_GetInt`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_GetStr`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_GetStrList`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_FreeStrList`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_SetInt`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_SetStr`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_SetStrList`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyInitConfig_AddModule`
|
|
* :c:func:`Py_InitializeFromInitConfig`
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`107954`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyType_GetBaseByToken` and :c:data:`Py_tp_token` slot for easier
|
|
superclass identification, which attempts to resolve the `type checking issue
|
|
<https://peps.python.org/pep-0630/#type-checking>`__ mentioned in :pep:`630`
|
|
(:gh:`124153`).
|
|
|
|
* Add :c:func:`PyUnicode_Equal` function to the limited C API:
|
|
test if two strings are equal.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`124502`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Porting to Python 3.14
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
* In the limited C API 3.14 and newer, :c:func:`Py_TYPE` and
|
|
:c:func:`Py_REFCNT` are now implemented as an opaque function call to hide
|
|
implementation details.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`120600` and :gh:`124127`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deprecated
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* Macros :c:macro:`!Py_IS_NAN`, :c:macro:`!Py_IS_INFINITY`
|
|
and :c:macro:`!Py_IS_FINITE` are :term:`soft deprecated`,
|
|
use instead :c:macro:`!isnan`, :c:macro:`!isinf` and
|
|
:c:macro:`!isfinite` available from :file:`math.h`
|
|
since C99. (Contributed by Sergey B Kirpichev in :gh:`119613`.)
