This is the initial implementation of PEP 615, the zoneinfo module,
ported from the standalone reference implementation (see
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0615/#reference-implementation for a
link, which has a more detailed commit history).
This includes (hopefully) all functional elements described in the PEP,
but documentation is found in a separate PR. This includes:
1. A pure python implementation of the ZoneInfo class
2. A C accelerated implementation of the ZoneInfo class
3. Tests with 100% branch coverage for the Python code (though C code
coverage is less than 100%).
4. A compile-time configuration option on Linux (though not on Windows)
Differences from the reference implementation:
- The module is arranged slightly differently: the accelerated module is
`_zoneinfo` rather than `zoneinfo._czoneinfo`, which also necessitates
some changes in the test support function. (Suggested by Victor
Stinner and Steve Dower.)
- The tests are arranged slightly differently and do not include the
property tests. The tests live at test/test_zoneinfo/test_zoneinfo.py
rather than test/test_zoneinfo.py or test/test_zoneinfo/__init__.py
because we may do some refactoring in the future that would likely
require this separation anyway; we may:
- include the property tests
- automatically run all the tests against both pure Python and C,
rather than manually constructing C and Python test classes (similar
to the way this works with test_datetime.py, which generates C
and Python test cases from datetimetester.py).
- This includes a compile-time configuration option on Linux (though not
on Windows); added with much help from Thomas Wouters.
- Integration into the CPython build system is obviously different from
building a standalone zoneinfo module wheel.
- This includes configuration to install the tzdata package as part of
CI, though only on the coverage jobs. Introducing a PyPI dependency as
part of the CI build was controversial, and this is seen as less of a
major change, since the coverage jobs already depend on pip and PyPI.
Additional changes that were introduced as part of this PR, most / all of
which were backported to the reference implementation:
- Fixed reference and memory leaks
With much debugging help from Pablo Galindo
- Added smoke tests ensuring that the C and Python modules are built
The import machinery can be somewhat fragile, and the "seamlessly falls
back to pure Python" nature of this module makes it so that a problem
building the C extension or a failure to import the pure Python version
might easily go unnoticed.
- Adjustments to zoneinfo.__dir__
Suggested by Petr Viktorin.
- Slight refactorings as suggested by Steve Dower.
- Removed unnecessary if check on std_abbr
Discovered this because of a missing line in branch coverage.
* Move Modules/hashtable.h to Include/internal/pycore_hashtable.h
* Move Modules/hashtable.c to Python/hashtable.c
* Python is now linked to hashtable.c. _tracemalloc is no longer
linked to hashtable.c. Previously, marshal.c got hashtable.c via
_tracemalloc.c which is built as a builtin module.
Add random.randbytes() function and random.Random.randbytes()
method to generate random bytes.
Modify secrets.token_bytes() to use SystemRandom.randbytes()
rather than calling directly os.urandom().
Rename also genrand_int32() to genrand_uint32(), since it returns an
unsigned 32-bit integer, not a signed integer.
The _random module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE defined.
Add a new internal pycore_byteswap.h header file with the following
functions:
* _Py_bswap16()
* _Py_bswap32()
* _Py_bswap64()
Use these functions in _ctypes, sha256 and sha512 modules,
and also use in the UTF-32 encoder.
sha256, sha512 and _ctypes modules are now built with the internal
C API.
Move the dtoa.h header file to the internal C API as pycore_dtoa.h:
it only contains private functions (prefixed by "_Py").
The math and cmath modules must now be compiled with the
Py_BUILD_CORE macro defined.
When the line is uncommented, the equals character causes it to be incorrectly interpreted
as a macro definition by makesetup. This results in invalid Makefile output.
The expat code only requires XML_POOR_ENTROPY to be defined; the value is unnecessary.
Add a new _testinternalcapi module to test the internal C API.
Move _Py_GetConfigsAsDict() function to the internal C API:
_testembed now uses _testinternalcapi to access the function.
Change PyAPI_FUNC(type), PyAPI_DATA(type) and PyMODINIT_FUNC macros
of pyport.h when Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE is defined.
The Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define must be now be used to build a C
extension as a dynamic library accessing Python internals: export the
PyInit_xxx() function in DLL exports on Windows.
Changes:
* Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN and Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE now imply
Py_BUILD_CORE directy in pyport.h.
* ceval.c compilation now fails with an error if Py_BUILD_CORE is not
defined, just to ensure that Python is build with the correct
defines.
* setup.py now compiles _pickle.c with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define.
* setup.py compiles _json.c with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define, rather
than Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN define
* PCbuild/pythoncore.vcxproj: Add Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN define.
locale.localeconv() now sets temporarily the LC_CTYPE locale to the
LC_MONETARY locale if the two locales are different and monetary
strings are non-ASCII. This temporary change affects other threads.
Changes:
* locale.localeconv() can now set LC_CTYPE to LC_MONETARY to decode
monetary fields.
* Add LocaleInfo.grouping_buffer: copy localeconv() grouping string
since it can be replaced anytime if a different thread calls
localeconv().
* _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric() now requires a "struct lconv *"
structure, so locale.localeconv() now longer calls localeconv()
twice. Moreover, the function now requires all arguments to be
non-NULL.
* Rename STATIC_LOCALE_INFO_INIT to LocaleInfo_STATIC_INIT.
* Move _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric() definition from fileutils.h
to pycore_fileutils.h. pycore_fileutils.h now includes locale.h.
* The _locale module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE defined.
* All internal header files now require Py_BUILD_CORE or
Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN to be defined.
* _json.c is now compiled with Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN to access
pycore_accu.h header.
* Add an example to Modules/Setup to show how to build _json
as a built-in module; it requires non trivial compiler options.
_PyTraceMalloc_NewReference() is now called by _Py_NewReference(), so
move its definition to object.h. Moreover, define it even if
Py_LIMITED_API is defined, since _Py_NewReference() is also exposed
even if Py_LIMITED_API is defined.
bpo-32430: Rename Modules/Setup.dist to Modules/Setup
Remove the necessity to copy the former manually to the latter when updating the local source tree.
