This is done to compensate for the extra stack frames added by
IDLE itself, which cause problems when setting the recursion limit
to low values.
This wraps sys.setrecursionlimit() and sys.getrecursionlimit()
as invisibly as possible.
bdist_wininst depends on MBCS codec, unavailable on non-Windows,
and bdist_wininst have not worked since at least Python 3.2, possibly
never on Python 3.
Here we document that bdist_wininst is only supported on Windows,
and we mark it unsupported otherwise to skip tests.
Distributors of Python 3 can now safely drop the bdist_wininst .exe files
without the need to skip bdist_wininst related tests.
Remove the undocumented sys.callstats() function. Since Python 3.7,
it was deprecated and always returned None. It required a special
build option CALL_PROFILE which was already removed in Python 3.7.
The os.getcwdb() function now uses the UTF-8 encoding on Windows,
rather than the ANSI code page: see PEP 529 for the rationale. The
function is no longer deprecated on Windows.
os.getcwd() and os.getcwdb() now detect integer overflow on memory
allocations. On Unix, these functions properly report MemoryError on
memory allocation failure.
In development mode and in debug build, encoding and errors arguments
are now checked on string encoding and decoding operations. Examples:
open(), str.encode() and bytes.decode().
By default, for best performances, the errors argument is only
checked at the first encoding/decoding error, and the encoding
argument is sometimes ignored for empty strings.
Python now gets the absolute path of the script filename specified on
the command line (ex: "python3 script.py"): the __file__ attribute of
the __main__ module, sys.argv[0] and sys.path[0] become an absolute
path, rather than a relative path.
* Add _Py_isabs() and _Py_abspath() functions.
* _PyConfig_Read() now tries to get the absolute path of
run_filename, but keeps the relative path if _Py_abspath() fails.
* Reimplement os._getfullpathname() using _Py_abspath().
* Use _Py_isabs() in getpath.c.
Remove sys.getcheckinterval() and sys.setcheckinterval() functions.
They were deprecated since Python 3.2. Use sys.getswitchinterval()
and sys.setswitchinterval() instead.
Remove also check_interval field of the PyInterpreterState structure.
At the moment you can definitely use UDPLITE sockets on Linux systems, but it would be good if this support were formalized such that you can detect support at runtime easily.
At the moment, to make and use a UDPLITE socket requires something like the following code:
```
>>> import socket
>>> a = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 136)
>>> b = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 136)
>>> a.bind(('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.setsockopt(136, 10, 16)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.setsockopt(136, 10, 32)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.setsockopt(136, 10, 64)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
```
If you look at this through Wireshark, you can see that the packets are different in that the checksums and checksum coverages change.
With the pull request that I am submitting momentarily, you could do the following code instead:
```
>>> import socket
>>> a = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDPLITE)
>>> b = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDPLITE)
>>> a.bind(('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.set_send_checksum_coverage(16)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.set_send_checksum_coverage(32)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.set_send_checksum_coverage(64)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
```
One can also detect support for UDPLITE just by checking
```
>>> hasattr(socket, 'IPPROTO_UDPLITE')
```

This is to help prevent people from accidentally installing into the wrong Python interpreter if they are not aware of which Python interpreter `pip` points to.
* Docs: Improved phrasing
Removed usage of second person pronouns in the section and made the assumption of "uneasiness" in code style transition more neutral.
* Removed trailing whitespace on line 34
* Rename PyImport_Cleanup() to _PyImport_Cleanup() and move it to the
internal C API. Add 'tstate' parameters.
* Remove documentation of _PyImport_Init(), PyImport_Cleanup(),
_PyImport_Fini(). All three were documented as "For internal use
only.".
For datetime.datetime.strptime(), the leading zero for some two-digit formats is optional.
This adds a footnote to the strftime/strptime documentation to reflect this fact, and adds some tests to ensure that it is true.
bpo-34903
The initialize options are 1) add command line options, which are appended to sys.argv as if passed on a real command line, and 2) skip the shell restart. The customization dialog is accessed by a new entry on the Run menu.
aifc.openfp() alias to aifc.open(), sunau.openfp() alias to
sunau.open(), and wave.openfp() alias to wave.open() have been
removed. They were deprecated since Python 3.7.
Add --upgrade-deps to venv module
- This allows for pip + setuptools to be automatically upgraded to the latest version on PyPI
- Update documentation to represent this change
bpo-34556: Add --upgrade to venv module
Add a new public PyObject_CallNoArgs() function to the C API: call a
callable Python object without any arguments.
It is the most efficient way to call a callback without any argument.
On x86-64, for example, PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL)
allocates 960 bytes on the stack per call, whereas
PyObject_CallNoArgs(func) only allocates 624 bytes per call.
It is excluded from stable ABI 3.8.
Replace private _PyObject_CallNoArg() with public
PyObject_CallNoArgs() in C extensions: _asyncio, _datetime,
_elementtree, _pickle, _tkinter and readline.
In a subinterpreter, spawning a daemon thread now raises an
exception. Daemon threads were never supported in subinterpreters.
Previously, the subinterpreter finalization crashed with a Pyton
fatal error if a daemon thread was still running.
* Add _thread._is_main_interpreter()
* threading.Thread.start() now raises RuntimeError if the thread is a
daemon thread and the method is called from a subinterpreter.
* The _thread module now uses Argument Clinic for the new function.
* Use textwrap.dedent() in test_threading.SubinterpThreadingTests
Document reference cycle and resurrected objects issues in
sys.unraisablehook() and threading.excepthook() documentation.
Fix test.support.catch_unraisable_exception(): __exit__() no longer
ignores unraisable exceptions.
Fix test_io test_writer_close_error_on_close(): use a second
catch_unraisable_exception() to catch the BufferedWriter unraisable
exception.
This PR adds missing details in the [`concurrent.futures`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html) documentation:
* the mention that `Future.cancel` also returns `False` if the call finished running;
* the mention of the states for `Future` that did not complete: pending or running.
It would raise ValueError("Paths don't have the same drive") if the paths on different drivers, which is not documented.
os.path.commonpath raises ValueError when the *paths* are in different drivers, but it is not documented.
Update the document according @Windsooon 's suggestion.
It actually raise ValueError according line 355 of [test of path](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/test/test_ntpath.py)
https://bugs.python.org/issue6689
The __exit__() method of test.support.catch_unraisable_exception
context manager now ignores unraisable exception raised when clearing
self.unraisable attribute.
* Update PyCompilerFlags structure documentation.
* Document the new cf_feature_version field in the Changes in the C
API section of the What's New in Python 3.8 doc.
* bpo-35805: Add parser for Message-ID header.
This parser is based on the definition of Identification Fields from RFC 5322
Sec 3.6.4.
This should also prevent folding of Message-ID header using RFC 2047 encoded
words and hence fix bpo-35805.
* Prevent folding of non-ascii message-id headers.
* Add fold method to MsgID token to prevent folding.
* Improve example on tzinfo instances
Move from GMTX to TZX when naming the classes, as GMT1 might be rather
confusing as seen in the reported issue.
In addition, move to UTC over GMT and improve the tzname implementation.
* Simplify datetime with tzinfo example
Move the example in the documentation to just use timezone.utc and a
user defined Kabul timezone rather than having two user defined
timezones with DST.
Kabul timezone is still interesting as it changes its offset but not
based on DST. This is more accurate as the previous example was missing
information about the fold attribute. Additionally, implementing the fold
attribute was rather complex and probably not relevant enough for the
section "datetime with tzinfo".
Add BaseEventLoop.wait_executor_on_close attribute: true by default.
loop.close() now waits for the default executor to finish by default.
Set loop.wait_executor_on_close attribute to False to not wait for
the executor.
* bpo-19184: Update the documentation of dis module
* Explain the behavior of the number of arguments of RAISE_VARGARGS
opcode.
* bpo-19184: Update blurb.
* bpo-19184: Fix typo in the dis Documentation.
* bpo-19184: Address review comments and improve the doc
* bpo-19184: Remove news file.
* bpo-37014: Update docstring and Documentation of fileinput.FileInput()
* Explain the behavior of fileinput.FileInput() when reading stdin.
* Update blurb.
* bpo-37014: Fix typo in the docstring and documentation.
Adds a new option in trace that allows tracing runnable modules. It is
exposed as `--module module_name` as `-m` is already in use for another
argument.
* Add deprecated-remove information on stream doc
According to the code on streams.py the functions:
``open_connection()``, ``start_server()``, ``open_unix_connection()``,
``start_unix_server()`` are deprecated. I infor that on
documentation.
