Issue #23848: On Windows, faulthandler.enable() now also installs an exception
handler to dump the traceback of all Python threads on any Windows exception,
not only on UNIX signals (SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGABRT).
Issue #26567:
* Add a new function PyErr_ResourceWarning() function to pass the destroyed
object
* Add a source attribute to warnings.WarningMessage
* Add warnings._showwarnmsg() which uses tracemalloc to get the traceback where
source object was allocated.
Issue #26564: _PyObject_DebugDumpAddress() now dumps the traceback where a
memory block was allocated on memory block. Use the tracemalloc module to get
the traceback.
Issue #26516:
* Add PYTHONMALLOC environment variable to set the Python memory
allocators and/or install debug hooks.
* PyMem_SetupDebugHooks() can now also be used on Python compiled in release
mode.
* The PYTHONMALLOCSTATS environment variable can now also be used on Python
compiled in release mode. It now has no effect if set to an empty string.
* In debug mode, debug hooks are now also installed on Python memory allocators
when Python is configured without pymalloc.
with no known parent package.
Previously SystemError was raised if the parent package didn't exist
(e.g., __package__ was set to '').
Thanks to Florent Xicluna and Yongzhi Pan for reporting the issue.
In a previous change, __spec__.parent was prioritized over
__package__. That is a backwards-compatibility break, but we do
eventually want __spec__ to be the ground truth for module details. So
this change reverts the change in semantics and instead raises an
ImportWarning when __package__ != __spec__.parent to give people time
to adjust to using spec objects.
Issue #26107: The format of the co_lnotab attribute of code objects changes to
support negative line number delta.
Changes:
* assemble_lnotab(): if line number delta is less than -128 or greater than
127, emit multiple (offset_delta, lineno_delta) in co_lnotab
* update functions decoding co_lnotab to use signed 8-bit integers
- dis.findlinestarts()
- PyCode_Addr2Line()
- _PyCode_CheckLineNumber()
- frame_setlineno()
* update lnotab_notes.txt
* increase importlib MAGIC_NUMBER to 3361
* document the change in What's New in Python 3.6
* cleanup also PyCode_Optimize() to use better variable names
not defined for a relative import.
This is the start of work to try and clean up import semantics to rely
more on a module's spec than on the myriad attributes that get set on
a module. Thanks to Rose Ames for the patch.
