bpo-34247, bpo-36142: The PYTHONMALLOC environment variable has the
priority over PYTHONDEV env var and "-X dev" command line option.
For example, PYTHONMALLOC=malloc PYTHONDEVMODE=1 sets the memory
allocators to "malloc" (and not to "debug").
Add an unit test.
* _PyPreConfig_Write() now reallocates the pre-configuration with the
new memory allocator.
* It is no longer needed to force the "default raw memory allocator"
to clear pre-configuration and core configuration. Simplify the
code.
* _PyPreConfig_Write() now does nothing if called after
Py_Initialize(): no longer check if the allocator is the same.
* Remove _PyMem_GetDebugAllocatorsName(): dev mode sets again
allocator to "debug".
The development mode now uses the effective name of the debug memory
allocator ("pymalloc_debug" or "malloc_debug"). So the name doesn't
change after setting the memory allocator.
* Move 'allocator' and 'dev_mode' fields from _PyCoreConfig
to _PyPreConfig.
* Fix InitConfigTests of test_embed: dev_mode sets allocator to
"debug", add a new tests for env vars with dev mode enabled.
* Move fields from _PyMain to _PyCoreConfig:
* skip_first_line
* run_command
* run_module
* run_filename
* Replace _PyMain.stdin_is_interactive with a new
stdin_is_interactive(config) function
* Rename _PyMain to _PyArgv. Add "const _PyArgv *args" field
to _PyCmdline.
* The _PySys_EndInit() function now copies the
config->module_search_path list, so config is longer modified when
sys.path is updated.
* config->warnoptions list and config->xoptions dict are also copied
* test_embed: InitConfigTests now also tests
main_config['module_search_path']
* Fix _Py_InitializeMainInterpreter(): don't use config->warnoptions
but sys.warnoptions to decide if the warnings module should
be imported at startup.
test_embed.InitConfigTests tests more configuration variables.
Changes:
* InitConfigTests tests more core configuration variables:
* base_exec_prefix
* base_prefix
* exec_prefix
* home
* legacy_windows_fs_encoding
* legacy_windows_stdio
* module_search_path_env
* prefix
* "_testembed init_from_config" tests more variables:
* argv
* warnoptions
* xoptions
* InitConfigTests: add check_global_config(), check_core_config() and
check_main_config() subfunctions to cleanup the code. Move also
constants at the class level (ex: COPY_MAIN_CONFIG).
* Fix _PyCoreConfig_AsDict(): don't set stdio_encoding twice
* Use more macros in _PyCoreConfig_AsDict() and
_PyMainInterpreterConfig_AsDict() to reduce code duplication.
* Other minor cleanups.
* Fix _PyCoreConfig_SetGlobalConfig(): set also Py_FrozenFlag
* Fix _PyCoreConfig_AsDict(): export also xoptions
* Add _Py_GetGlobalVariablesAsDict() and _testcapi.get_global_config()
* test.pythoninfo: dump also global configuration variables
* _testembed now serializes global, core and main configurations
using JSON to reuse _Py_GetGlobalVariablesAsDict(),
_PyCoreConfig_AsDict() and _PyMainInterpreterConfig_AsDict(),
rather than duplicating code.
* test_embed.InitConfigTests now test much more configuration
variables
* Fix _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Copy():
copy 'install_signal_handlers' attribute
* Add _PyMainInterpreterConfig_AsDict()
* Add unit tests on the main interpreter configuration
to test_embed.InitConfigTests
* test.pythoninfo: log also main_config
* Revert "bpo-34589: Add -X coerce_c_locale command line option (GH-9378)"
This reverts commit dbdee0073c.
* Revert "bpo-34589: C locale coercion off by default (GH-9073)"
This reverts commit 7a0791b699.
* Revert "bpo-34589: Make _PyCoreConfig.coerce_c_locale private (GH-9371)"
This reverts commit 188ebfa475.
Py_Initialize() and Py_Main() cannot enable the C locale coercion
(PEP 538) anymore: it is always disabled. It can now only be enabled
by the Python program ("python3).
test_embed: get_filesystem_encoding() doesn't have to set PYTHONUTF8
nor PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE, these variables are already set in the
parent.
_PyCoreConfig:
* Rename coerce_c_locale to _coerce_c_locale
* Rename coerce_c_locale_warn to _coerce_c_locale_warn
These fields are now private (name prefixed by "_").
* Modify DEFAULT_CONFIG for AIX
* bedevere/news did not like old name
* Modify NEWS entry
* Modified per peer review
* Define and use NULL_STR constant to account for AIX libc behavior
* Modify per peer review
* Modify NEWS
Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding on
Windows if Py_LegacyWindowsFSEncodingFlag is zero.
pymain_read_conf() now sets Py_LegacyWindowsFSEncodingFlag in its
loop, but restore its value at exit.
_PyCoreConfig_Read() is now responsible to choose the filesystem
encoding and error handler. Using Py_Main(), the encoding is now
chosen even before calling Py_Initialize().
_PyCoreConfig.filesystem_encoding is now the reference, instead of
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, for the Python filesystem encoding.
Changes:
* Add filesystem_encoding and filesystem_errors to _PyCoreConfig
* _PyCoreConfig_Read() now reads the locale encoding for the file
system encoding.
* PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() and PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize()
now use the interpreter configuration rather than
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding and Py_FileSystemDefaultEncodeErrors
global configuration variables.
* Add _Py_SetFileSystemEncoding() and _Py_ClearFileSystemEncoding()
private functions to only modify Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding and
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncodeErrors in coreconfig.c.
* _Py_CoerceLegacyLocale() now takes an int rather than
_PyCoreConfig for the warning.
Python now gets the locale encoding with C code to initialize the encoding
of standard streams like sys.stdout. Moreover, the encoding is now
initialized to the Python codec name to get a normalized encoding name and
to ensure that the codec is loaded. The change avoids importing
_bootlocale and _locale modules at startup by default.
When the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable only contains an encoding,
the error handler is now is now set explicitly to "strict".
Rename also get_default_standard_stream_error_handler() to
get_stdio_errors().
Reduce the buffer to format the "cpXXX" string (Windows locale encoding).
Py_Main() can again be called after Py_Initialize(), as in Python
3.6. The new configuration is ignored, except of
_PyMainInterpreterConfig.argv which is used to update sys.argv.
- new test case for pre-initialization of sys.warnoptions and sys._xoptions
- restored ability to call these APIs prior to Py_Initialize
- updated the docs for the affected APIs to make it clear they can be
called before Py_Initialize
- also enhanced the existing embedding test cases
to check for expected settings in the sys module
Skip the test failing randomly because of known race condition.
Skip the test to fix macOS buildbots until a decision is made on the
proper fix for the race condition.
When PyGILState_Ensure() is called in a non-Python thread before
PyEval_InitThreads(), only call PyEval_InitThreads() after calling
PyThreadState_New() to fix a crash.
Add an unit test in test_embed.
Some parts of the C API are only relevant to larger
applications embedding CPython as a runtime engine.
The helpers to test those APIs are already separated
out into Programs/_testembed.c, this update moves
the associated test cases out into their own dedicated
test file.
