Issue #26146: Add a new kind of AST node: ast.Constant. It can be used by
external AST optimizers, but the compiler does not emit directly such node.
An optimizer can replace the following AST nodes with ast.Constant:
* ast.NameConstant: None, False, True
* ast.Num: int, float, complex
* ast.Str: str
* ast.Bytes: bytes
* ast.Tuple if items are constants too: tuple
* frozenset
Update code to accept ast.Constant instead of ast.Num and/or ast.Str:
* compiler
* docstrings
* ast.literal_eval()
* Tools/parser/unparse.py
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 #25843: When compiling code, don't merge constants if they are equal but
have a different types. For example, "f1, f2 = lambda: 1, lambda: 1.0" is now
correctly compiled to two different functions: f1() returns 1 (int) and f2()
returns 1.0 (int), even if 1 and 1.0 are equal.
Add a new _PyCode_ConstantKey() private function.
Issue #26099: The site module now writes an error into stderr if sitecustomize
module can be imported but executing the module raise an ImportError. Same
change for usercustomize.
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
The previous test relied on a remote server, which currently seems to be
shutting the connection down once TLS has been set up, causing an EOFError.
Now the test is implemented using a minimal NNTP server running in a
background thread.
Issue #26100:
* Add subprocess._optim_args_from_interpreter_flags()
* Add test.support.optim_args_from_interpreter_flags()
* Use new functions in distutils, test_cmd_line_script, test_compileall and
test_inspect
The change enables test_details() test of test_inspect when -O or -OO command
line option is used.
Issue #26101: Exclude Lib/test/ from sys.path in test_compilepath(). The
directory contains invalid Python files like Lib/test/badsyntax_pep3120.py,
whereas the test ensures that all files can be compiled.
