This module has never been enabled by default, never worked correctly
on x86-64, and caused ABI problems that caused C extension
compatibility. See bpo-29137 for details/discussion.
Updates documentation for generator expressions in classes tutorial: Clarify usage of ambiguous term "brackets" by replacing with "square brackets". Updated subsequent lines to respect line breaks. (#5079)
* Make ssh_handshake_timeout None by default.
* Raise ValueError if ssl_handshake_timeout is used without ssl.
* Raise ValueError if ssl_handshake_timeout is not positive.
Even though Python marks any handles it opens as non-inheritable there
is still a race when using `subprocess.Popen` since creating a process
with redirected stdio requires temporarily creating inheritable handles.
By implementing support for `subprocess.Popen(close_fds=True)` we fix
this race.
In order to implement this we use PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST
which is available since Windows Vista. Which allows to pass an explicit
list of handles to inherit when creating a process.
This commit also adds `STARTUPINFO.lpAttributeList["handle_list"]`
which can be used to control PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST
directly.
bpo-29240, bpo-32030: If the encoding change (C locale coerced or
UTF-8 Mode changed), Py_Main() now reads again the configuration with
the new encoding.
Changes:
* Add _Py_UnixMain() called by main().
* Rename pymain_free_pymain() to pymain_clear_pymain(), it can now be
called multipled times.
* Rename pymain_parse_cmdline_envvars() to pymain_read_conf().
* Py_Main() now clears orig_argc and orig_argv at exit.
* Remove argv_copy2, Py_Main() doesn't modify argv anymore. There is
no need anymore to get two copies of the wchar_t** argv.
* _PyCoreConfig: add coerce_c_locale and coerce_c_locale_warn.
* Py_UTF8Mode is now initialized to -1.
* Locale coercion (PEP 538) now respects -I and -E options.
bpo-32329, bpo-32030:
* The -R option now turns on hash randomization when the
PYTHONHASHSEED environment variable is set to 0 Previously, the
option was ignored.
* sys.flags.hash_randomization is now properly set to 0 when hash
randomization is turned off by PYTHONHASHSEED=0.
* _PyCoreConfig_ReadEnv() now reads the PYTHONHASHSEED environment
variable. _Py_HashRandomization_Init() now only apply the
configuration, it doesn't read PYTHONHASHSEED anymore.
* Fix multiple typos in code comments
* Add spacing in comments (test_logging.py, test_math.py)
* Fix spaces at the beginning of comments in test_logging.py
* Add -X utf8 command line option, PYTHONUTF8 environment variable
and a new sys.flags.utf8_mode flag.
* If the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" at startup: enable automatically the
UTF-8 mode.
* Add _winapi.GetACP(). encodings._alias_mbcs() now calls
_winapi.GetACP() to get the ANSI code page
* locale.getpreferredencoding() now returns 'UTF-8' in the UTF-8
mode. As a side effect, open() now uses the UTF-8 encoding by
default in this mode.
* Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding
in the UTF-8 Mode.
* Update subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle -X utf8
* Skip some tests relying on the current locale if the UTF-8 mode is
enabled.
* Add test_utf8mode.py.
* _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape() gets a new optional parameter to
return also the length (number of wide characters).
* pymain_get_global_config() and pymain_set_global_config() now
always copy flag values, rather than only copying if the new value
is greater than the old value.
Rather than supporting dev mode directly in the warnings module, this
instead adjusts the initialisation code to add an extra 'default'
entry to sys.warnoptions when dev mode is enabled.
This ensures that dev mode behaves *exactly* as if `-Wdefault` had
been passed on the command line, including in the way it interacts
with `sys.warnoptions`, and with other command line flags like `-bb`.
Fix also bpo-20361: have -b & -bb options take precedence over any
other warnings options.
