|

|

Some smaller changes made to the core Python language are:
|
||||
|
||||
* Stub
|
||||
* The :func:`hasattr` function used to catch and suppress any Exception.
|
||||
Now, it only catches :exc:`AttributeError`. Under the hood, :func:`hasattr`
|
||||
works by calling :func:`getattr` and throwing away the results. This is
|
||||
necessary because dynamic attribute creation is possible using
|
||||
:meth:`__getattribute__` or :meth:`__getattr`. If :func:`hasattr` were to
|
||||
just scan instance and class dictionaries it would miss the dynmaic methods
|
||||
and make it difficult to implement proxy objects.
|
||||
|
||||
(Discovered by Yury Selivanov and fixed by Benjamin Peterson; :issue:`9666`.)
|
||||
|
||||
* The :func:`str` of a float or complex number is now the same as it
|
||||
:func:`repr`. Previously, the :func:`str` form was shorter but that just
|
||||
caused confusion and is no longer needed now that we the shortest possible
|
||||
:func:`repr` is displayed by default.
|
||||
|
||||
(Proposed and implemented by Mark Dickinson; :issue:`9337`).

|
|||
|
||||
Changes to Python's build process and to the C API include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Stub
|
||||
* The C functions that access the Unicode Database now accept and
|
||||
return characters from the full Unicode range, even on narrow unicode builds
|
||||
(Py_UNICODE_TOLOWER, Py_UNICODE_ISDECIMAL, and others). A visible difference
|
||||
in Python is that :cfunc:`unicodedata.numeric` now returns the correct value for
|
||||
large code points, and :func:`repr` may consider more characters as printable.
|
||||
|
||||
(Reported by Bupjoe Lee and fixed by Amaury Forgeot D'Arc; :issue:`5127`.)
|
||||
|
||||
* Computed gotos are now enabled by default on supported
|
||||
compilers (which are detected by the configure script). They can still
|
||||
be disable selectively by specifying ``--without-computed-gotos``.
