The path configuration is now computed in the "main" initialization.
The core initialization no longer computes it.
* Add _PyConfig_Read() function to read the configuration without
computing the path configuration.
* pyinit_core() no longer computes the path configuration: it is now
computed by init_interp_main().
* The path configuration output members of PyConfig are now optional:
* executable
* base_executable
* prefix
* base_prefix
* exec_prefix
* base_exec_prefix
* _PySys_UpdateConfig() now skips NULL strings in PyConfig.
* _testembed: Rename test_set_config() to test_init_set_config() for
consistency with other tests.
* Inline _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig(): replace it with
_PyConfig_Copy().
* Add _PyErr_SetFromPyStatus()
* Add _PyInterpreterState_GetConfigCopy()
* Add a new _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig() function.
* Add an unit which gets, modifies, and sets the config.
When Py_Initialize() is called twice, the second call now updates
more sys attributes for the configuration, rather than only sys.argv.
* Rename _PySys_InitMain() to _PySys_UpdateConfig().
* _PySys_UpdateConfig() now modifies sys.flags in-place, instead of
creating a new flags object.
* Remove old commented sys.flags flags (unbuffered and skip_first).
* Add private _PySys_GetObject() function.
* When Py_Initialize(), Py_InitializeFromConfig() and
* Move orig_argv before argv
* Move program_name and platlibdir with other path configuration
inputs
Give a name to the PyPreConfig and PyConfig structures and separate
the type definitions.
Call _PyAST_Fini() on all interpreters, not only on the main
interpreter. Also, call it ealier to fix a reference leak.
Python types contain a reference to themselves in in their
PyTypeObject.tp_mro member. _PyAST_Fini() must called before the last
GC collection to destroy AST types.
_PyInterpreterState_Clear() now calls _PyAST_Fini(). It now also
calls _PyWarnings_Fini() on subinterpeters, not only on the main
interpreter.
Add an assertion in AST init_types() to ensure that the _ast module
is no longer used after _PyAST_Fini() has been called.
The ast module internal state is now per interpreter.
* Rename "astmodulestate" to "struct ast_state"
* Add pycore_ast.h internal header: the ast_state structure is now
declared in pycore_ast.h.
* Add PyInterpreterState.ast (struct ast_state)
* Remove get_ast_state()
* Rename get_global_ast_state() to get_ast_state()
* PyAST_obj2mod() now handles get_ast_state() failures
Enhance the documentation of the Python startup, filesystem encoding
and error handling, locale encoding. Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode"
section.
* Add "locale encoding" and "filesystem encoding and error handler"
to the glossary
* Remove documentation from Include/cpython/initconfig.h: move it to
Doc/c-api/init_config.rst.
* Doc/c-api/init_config.rst:
* Document command line options and environment variables
* Document default values.
* Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode" section in Doc/library/os.rst.
* Add warnings to Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() docs.
* Document how Python selects the filesystem encoding and error
handler at a single place: PyConfig.filesystem_encoding and
PyConfig.filesystem_errors.
* PyConfig: move orig_argv member at the right place.
This adds a new function named sys._current_exceptions() which is equivalent ot
sys._current_frames() except that it returns the exceptions currently handled
by other threads. It is equivalent to calling sys.exc_info() for each running
thread.
If the nl_langinfo(CODESET) function returns an empty string, Python
now uses UTF-8 as the filesystem encoding.
In May 2010 (commit b744ba1d14), I
modified Python to log a warning and use UTF-8 as the filesystem
encoding (instead of None) if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty
string.
In August 2020 (commit 94908bbc15), I
modified Python startup to fail with a fatal error and a specific
error message if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty string. The
intent was to prevent guessing the encoding and also investigate user
configuration where this case happens.
In 10 years (2010 to 2020), I saw zero user report about the error
message related to nl_langinfo(CODESET) returning an empty string.
Today, UTF-8 became the defacto standard and it's safe to make the
assumption that the user expects UTF-8. For example,
nl_langinfo(CODESET) can return an empty string on macOS if the
LC_CTYPE locale is not supported, and UTF-8 is the default encoding
on macOS.
While this change is likely to not affect anyone in practice, it
should make UTF-8 lover happy ;-)
Rewrite also the documentation explaining how Python selects the
filesystem encoding and error handler.
* Rename _Py_GetLocaleEncoding() to _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject()
* Add _Py_GetLocaleEncoding() which returns a wchar_t* string to
share code between _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject()
and config_get_locale_encoding().
* _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject() now decodes nl_langinfo(CODESET)
from the current locale encoding with surrogateescape,
rather than using UTF-8.
_io.TextIOWrapper no longer calls getpreferredencoding(False) of
_bootlocale to get the locale encoding, but calls
_Py_GetLocaleEncoding() instead.
Add config_get_fs_encoding() sub-function. Reorganize also
config_get_locale_encoding() code.
The last GC collection is now done before clearing builtins and sys
dictionaries. Add also assertions to ensure that gc.collect() is no
longer called after _PyGC_Fini().
Pass also the tstate to PyInterpreterState_Clear() to pass the
correct tstate to _PyGC_CollectNoFail() and _PyGC_Fini().
Move private _PyGC_CollectNoFail() to the internal C API.
Remove the private _PyGC_CollectIfEnabled() which was just an alias
to the public PyGC_Collect() function since Python 3.8.
Rename functions:
* collect() => gc_collect_main()
* collect_with_callback() => gc_collect_with_callback()
* collect_generations() => gc_collect_generations()
Use PyLong_FromLong(0) and PyLong_FromLong(1) of the public C API
instead. For Python internals, _PyLong_GetZero() and _PyLong_GetOne()
of pycore_long.h can be used.
Removed the unicodedata.ucnhash_CAPI attribute which was an internal
PyCapsule object. The related private _PyUnicode_Name_CAPI structure
was moved to the internal C API.
Rename unicodedata.ucnhash_CAPI as unicodedata._ucnhash_CAPI.
Add _PyLong_GetZero() and _PyLong_GetOne() functions and a new
internal pycore_long.h header file.
Python cannot be built without small integer singletons anymore.
* UCD_Check() uses PyModule_Check()
* Simplify the internal _PyUnicode_Name_CAPI structure:
* Remove size and state members
* Remove state and self parameters of getcode() and getname()
functions
* Remove global_module_state
The private _PyUnicode_Name_CAPI structure of the PyCapsule API
unicodedata.ucnhash_CAPI moves to the internal C API. Moreover, the
structure gets a new state member which must be passed to the
getcode() and getname() functions.
* Move Include/ucnhash.h to Include/internal/pycore_ucnhash.h
* unicodedata module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE.
* unicodedata: move hashAPI variable into unicodedata_module_state.
These functions are considered not safe because they suppress all internal errors
and can return wrong result. PyDict_GetItemString and _PyDict_GetItemId can
also silence current exception in rare cases.
Remove no longer used _PyDict_GetItemId.
Add _PyDict_ContainsId and rename _PyDict_Contains into
_PyDict_Contains_KnownHash.
It was moved out of the limited API in 7d95e40721.
This change re-enables it from 3.10, to avoid generating invalid extension modules for earlier versions.
This API is relatively lightweight and organizationally, given that it's
used by multiple modules, it makes sense to move it to fileutils.
Requires making sure that _posixsubprocess is compiled with the appropriate
Py_BUIILD_CORE_BUILTIN macro.
Remove the global _Py_CheckRecursionLimit variable: it has been
replaced by ceval.recursion_limit of the PyInterpreterState
structure.
There is no need to keep the variable for the stable ABI, since
Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() were not usable
in Python 3.8 and older: these macros accessed PyThreadState members,
whereas the PyThreadState structure is opaque in the limited C API.
The new API allows to efficiently send values into native generators
and coroutines avoiding use of StopIteration exceptions to signal
returns.
ceval loop now uses this method instead of the old "private"
_PyGen_Send C API. This translates to 1.6x increased performance
of 'await' calls in micro-benchmarks.
Aside from CPython core improvements, this new API will also allow
Cython to generate more efficient code, benefiting high-performance
IO libraries like uvloop.
