Python now supports checking bytecode cache up-to-dateness with a hash of the
source contents rather than volatile source metadata. See the PEP for details.
While a fairly straightforward idea, quite a lot of code had to be modified due
to the pervasiveness of pyc implementation details in the codebase. Changes in
this commit include:
- The core changes to importlib to understand how to read, validate, and
regenerate hash-based pycs.
- Support for generating hash-based pycs in py_compile and compileall.
- Modifications to our siphash implementation to support passing a custom
key. We then expose it to importlib through _imp.
- Updates to all places in the interpreter, standard library, and tests that
manually generate or parse pyc files to grok the new format.
- Support in the interpreter command line code for long options like
--check-hash-based-pycs.
- Tests and documentation for all of the above.
* fix issue32208: update threading.Semaphore docs and add unit test to validate correct behavior
* add test for blocking
* Update threading.rst
* semaphore: remove documentation validation tests and move 'return value' test to BaseSemaphore
* Rather than raise TypeError, warn and call list() on the value.
* Fix tests, revise NEWS and whatsnew text.
* Revise documentation, a string is okay as well.
* Ensure 'requires' and 'obsoletes' are real lists.
* Test that requires and obsoletes are turned to lists.
_PyPathConfig_Init() now also initialize home and program_name:
* Rename existing _PyPathConfig_Init() to _PyPathConfig_Calculate().
Add a new _PyPathConfig_Init() function in pathconfig.c which
handles the _Py_path_config variable and call
_PyPathConfig_Calculate().
* Add home and program_name fields to _PyPathConfig.home
* _PyPathConfig_Init() now initialize home and program_name
from main_config
* Py_SetProgramName(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_GetPythonHome() now
calls Py_FatalError() on failure, instead of silently ignoring
failures.
* config_init_home() now gets directly _Py_path_config.home to only
get the value set by Py_SetPythonHome(), or NULL if
Py_SetPythonHome() was not called.
* config_get_program_name() now gets directly
_Py_path_config.program_name to only get the value set by
Py_SetProgramName(), or NULL if Py_SetProgramName() was not called.
* pymain_init_python() doesn't call Py_SetProgramName() anymore,
_PyPathConfig_Init() now always sets the program name
* Call _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Read() in
pymain_parse_cmdline_envvars_impl() to control the memory allocator
* C API documentation: it's no more safe to call Py_GetProgramName()
before Py_Initialize().
The current behaviour of yield expressions inside comprehensions and
generator expressions is essentially an accident of implementation - it
arises implicitly from the way the compiler handles yield expressions inside
nested functions and generators.
Since the current behaviour wasn't deliberately designed, and is inherently
confusing, we're deprecating it, with no current plans to reintroduce it.
Instead, our advice will be to use a named nested generator definition
for cases where this behaviour is desired.
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.
* bpo-32101: Add sys.flags.dev_mode flag
Rename also the "Developer mode" to the "Development mode".
* bpo-32101: Add PYTHONDEVMODE environment variable
Mention it in the development chapiter.
* Add most_recent_first parameter to tracemalloc.Traceback.format to allow
reversing the order of the frames in the output
* Reversed default sorting of tracemalloc.Traceback frames
* Allowed negative limit, truncating from the other side.
* Fix _PyMem_SetupAllocators("debug"): always restore allocators to
the defaults, rather than only caling _PyMem_SetupDebugHooks().
* Add _PyMem_SetDefaultAllocator() helper to set the "default"
allocator.
* Add _PyMem_GetAllocatorsName(): get the name of the allocators
* main() now uses debug hooks on memory allocators if Py_DEBUG is
defined, rather than calling directly malloc()
* Document default memory allocators in C API documentation
* _Py_InitializeCore() now fails with a fatal user error if
PYTHONMALLOC value is an unknown memory allocator, instead of
failing with a fatal internal error.
* Add new tests on the PYTHONMALLOC environment variable
* Add support.with_pymalloc()
* Add the _testcapi.WITH_PYMALLOC constant and expose it as
support.with_pymalloc().
* sysconfig.get_config_var('WITH_PYMALLOC') doesn't work on Windows, so
replace it with support.with_pymalloc().
* pythoninfo: add _testcapi collector for pymem
``uuid.getnode()`` now preferentially returns universally administered MAC addresses if available, over locally administered MAC addresses. This makes a better guarantee for global uniqueness of UUIDs returned from ``uuid.uuid1()``. If only locally administered MAC addresses are available, the first such one found is returned.
Also improve internal code style by being explicit about ``return None`` rather than falling off the end of the function.
Improve the test robustness.
* Remove asyncio.selectors and asyncio._overlapped symbols from the
namespace of the asyncio module
* Replace "from asyncio import selectors" with "import selectors"
* Replace "from asyncio import _overlapped" with "import _overlapped"
asyncio.selectors was added to support Python 3.3, which doesn't have
selectors in its standard library, and Python 3.4 in the same code
base. Same rationale for asyncio._overlapped. Python 3.3 reached its
end of life, and asyncio is no more maintained as a third party
module on PyPI.
The paragraph that contains example of string literal concatenation was placed
after the section about concatenation using the '+' sign.
Moved the paragraph to the appropriate section.
Adds a simpler and faster alternative to ExitStack for handling
single optional context managers without having to change the
lexical structure of your code.
The developer mode (-X dev) now creates all default warnings filters
to order filters in the correct order to always show ResourceWarning
and make BytesWarning depend on the -b option.
Write a functional test to make sure that ResourceWarning is logged
twice at the same location in the developer mode.
Add a new 'dev_mode' field to _PyCoreConfig.
`BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL` was duplicated as the opcode for both var-positional and var-keyword arguments. The opcode for the former was updated as `BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK_WITH_CALL`.
Add a new "developer mode": new "-X dev" command line option to
enable debug checks at runtime.
Changes:
* Add unit tests for -X dev
* test_cmd_line: replace test.support with support.
* Fix _PyRuntimeState_Fini(): Use the same memory allocator
than _PyRuntimeState_Init().
* Fix _PyMem_GetDefaultRawAllocator()
The openfp functions of aifp, sunau, and wave had pointed to the open
function of each module since 1993 as a matter of backwards
compatibility. In the case of aifc.openfp, it was both undocumented
and untested. This change begins the formal deprecation of those
openfp functions, with their removal coming in 3.9.
This additionally adds a TODO in test_pyclbr around using aifc.openfp,
though it shouldn't be changed until removal in 3.9.
kB (*kilo* byte) unit means 1000 bytes, whereas KiB ("kibibyte")
means 1024 bytes. KB was misused: replace kB or KB with KiB when
appropriate.
Same change for MB and GB which become MiB and GiB.
Change the output of Tools/iobench/iobench.py.
Round also the size of the documentation from 5.5 MB to 5 MiB.
async and await keywords has been merged into upstream, but they are
all missing in the lexical analysis docs. This change adds them to the
appropriate keywords section in documentation.
Py_UNUSED has a public name, and is used in the wild outside CPython,
but was not documented. Rectify that.
The macro was added in bpo-19976 and referenced in bpo-26179.
blocksize was hardcoded to 8192, preventing efficient upload when using
file-like body. Add blocksize argument to __init__, so users can
configure the blocksize to fit their needs.
I tested this uploading data from /dev/zero to a web server dropping the
received data, to test the overhead of the HTTPConnection.send() with a
file-like object.
Here is an example 10g upload with the default buffer size (8192):
$ time ~/src/cpython/release/python upload-httplib.py 10 https://localhost:8000/
Uploaded 10.00g in 17.53 seconds (584.00m/s)
real 0m17.574s
user 0m8.887s
sys 0m5.971s
Same with 512k blocksize:
$ time ~/src/cpython/release/python upload-httplib.py 10 https://localhost:8000/
Uploaded 10.00g in 6.60 seconds (1551.15m/s)
real 0m6.641s
user 0m3.426s
sys 0m2.162s
In real world usage the difference will be smaller, depending on the
local and remote storage and the network.
See https://github.com/nirs/http-bench for more info.
While technically a purely internal change, bpo-31845 was
a fairly significant externally visible bug caused by
these changes (environment variable based configuration
was being ignored due to a change in the relative order
of reading the environment and reading command line settings,
and the test suite was only testing the command line options)
Hence this note to essentially say "If you see odd startup
problems in 3.7 that you've never seen in previous releases,
it's probably our fault, so let us know, and we'll fix it".
Add new time functions:
* time.clock_gettime_ns()
* time.clock_settime_ns()
* time.monotonic_ns()
* time.perf_counter_ns()
* time.process_time_ns()
* time.time_ns()
Add new _PyTime functions:
* _PyTime_FromTimespec()
* _PyTime_FromNanosecondsObject()
* _PyTime_FromTimeval()
Other changes:
* Add also os.times() tests to test_os.
* pytime_fromtimeval() and pytime_fromtimeval() now return
_PyTime_MAX or _PyTime_MIN on overflow, rather than undefined
behaviour
* _PyTime_FromNanoseconds() parameter type changes from long long to
_PyTime_t
Calendar.itermonthdates() will now consistently raise an exception when a date falls outside of the 0001-01-01 through 9999-12-31 range. To support applications that cannot tolerate such exceptions, the new methods itermonthdays3() and itermonthdays4() are added. The new methods return tuples and are not restricted by the range supported by datetime.date.
Thanks @serhiy-storchaka for suggesting the itermonthdays4() method and for the review.
Improve human friendliness of the Popen API: Add text=False as a
keyword-only argument to subprocess.Popen along with a Popen
attribute .text_mode and set this based on the
encoding/errors/universal_newlines/text arguments.
The universal_newlines parameter and attribute are maintained for
backwards compatibility.
bpo-31803: time.clock() and time.get_clock_info('clock') now emit a
DeprecationWarning warning.
Replace time.clock() with time.perf_counter() in tests and demos.
Remove also hasattr(time, 'monotonic') in test_time since time.monotonic()
is now always available since Python 3.5.
The new method allows the developer to control when to stop the
feature of mocks that automagically creates new mocks when accessing
an attribute that was not declared before

Freeze all the objects tracked by gc - move them to a permanent generation
and ignore all the future collections. This can be used before a POSIX
fork() call to make the gc copy-on-write friendly or to speed up collection.
Pattern `[a-z]` with `IGNORECASE` flag can match to some non-ASCII characters.
Straightforward solution for this is using `IGNORECASE | ASCII` flag.
But users may subclass `Template` and override only `idpattern`. So we want to
avoid changing `Template.flags`.
So this commit uses local flag `-i` for `idpattern` and change `[a-z]` to `[a-zA-Z]`.
* Separated functions and constants descriptions in sections.
* Added a note about the limitations of timezone constants.
* Removed redundant lists from the module docstring.
See PEP 539 for details.
Highlights of changes:
- Add Thread Specific Storage (TSS) API
- Document the Thread Local Storage (TLS) API as deprecated
- Update code that used TLS API to use TSS API
sre_compile does bit test (e.g. `flags & SRE_FLAG_IGNORECASE`) in loop.
`IntFlag.__and__` and `IntFlag.__new__` made it slower.
So this commit convert it to normal int before passing flags to `sre_compile()`.
Use prefixed macro names for the `authoraddress` function, add T2A to the font encoding in LaTeX sources to support Cyrillic characters in the PDF documentation, and replace the deprecated `font_size` config option with `pointsize`.
The concrete PyDict_* API is used to interact with PyInterpreterState.modules in a number of places. This isn't compatible with all dict subclasses, nor with other Mapping implementations. This patch switches the concrete API usage to the corresponding abstract API calls.
We also add a PyImport_GetModule() function (and some other helpers) to reduce a bunch of code duplication.
SSLSocket.wrap_bio() and SSLSocket.wrap_socket() hard-code SSLObject and
SSLSocket as return types. In the light of future deprecation of
ssl.wrap_socket() module function and direct instantiation of SSLSocket,
it is desirable to make the return type of SSLSocket.wrap_bio() and
SSLSocket.wrap_socket() customizable.

'Strip trailing whitespace' is not limited to spaces. Wording caters to beginners who
do know know the meaning of 'whitespace'. Multiline string literals are not skipped.
