  • bpo-44022: mod:http.client now avoids infinitely reading potential HTTP headers after a 100 Continue status response from the server.

核心与内置

  • bpo-44114: Fix incorrect dictkeys_reversed and dictitems_reversed function signatures in C code, which broke webassembly builds.

  • bpo-44070: No longer eagerly makes import filenames absolute, except for extension modules, which was introduced in 3.9.5.

  • bpo-28146: Fix a confusing error message in str.format().

  • bpo-44145: hmac computations were not releasing the GIL while calling the OpenSSL HMAC_Update C API (a new feature in 3.9). This unintentionally prevented parallel computation as other hashlib algorithms support.

  • bpo-37788: Fix a reference leak when a Thread object is never joined.

  • bpo-44061: Fix regression in previous release when calling pkgutil.iter_modules() with a list of pathlib.Path objects

  • bpo-36515: The hashlib module no longer does unaligned memory accesses when compiled for ARM platforms.

  • bpo-44018: random.seed() no longer mutates bytearray inputs.

  • bpo-38352: Add IO, BinaryIO, TextIO, Match, and Pattern to typing.__all__. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.

  • bpo-43972: When http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler sends a 301 (Moved Permanently) for a directory path not ending with /, add a Content-Length: 0 header. This improves the behavior for certain clients.

  • bpo-28528: Fix a bug in pdb where checkline() raises AttributeError if it is called after reset().

  • bpo-43666: AIX: Lib/_aix_support.get_platform() may fail in an AIX WPAR. The fileset bos.rte appears to have a builddate in both LPAR and WPAR so this fileset is queried rather than bos.mp64. To prevent a similiar situation (no builddate in ODM) a value (9988) sufficient for completing a build is provided. Patch by M Felt.

  • bpo-43650: Fix MemoryError in shutil.unpack_archive() which fails inside shutil._unpack_zipfile() on large files. Patch by Igor Bolshakov.

文档

  • bpo-41963: Document that ConfigParser strips off comments when reading configuration files.

  • bpo-44072: Correct where in the numeric ABC hierarchy ** support is added, i.e., in numbers.Complex, not numbers.Integral.

  • bpo-43558: Add the remark to dataclasses documentation that the __init__() of any base class has to be called in __post_init__(), along with a code example.

工具/示例

  • bpo-44074: Make patchcheck automatically detect the correct base branch name (previously it was hardcoded to 'master')

C API

Python 3.9.5 final

Release date: 2021-05-03

安全

  • bpo-43434: Creating a sqlite3.Connection object now also produces a sqlite3.connect auditing event. Previously this event was only produced by sqlite3.connect() calls. Patch by Erlend E. Aasland.

  • bpo-43882: The presence of newline or tab characters in parts of a URL could allow some forms of attacks.

    Following the controlling specification for URLs defined by WHATWG urllib.parse() now removes ASCII newlines and tabs from URLs, preventing such attacks.

  • bpo-43472: Ensures interpreter-level audit hooks receive the cpython.PyInterpreterState_New event when called through the _xxsubinterpreters module.

  • bpo-36384: ipaddress module no longer accepts any leading zeros in IPv4 address strings. Leading zeros are ambiguous and interpreted as octal notation by some libraries. For example the legacy function socket.inet_aton() treats leading zeros as octal notatation. glibc implementation of modern inet_pton() does not accept any leading zeros. For a while the ipaddress module used to accept ambiguous leading zeros.

  • bpo-43075: 修复了 urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler 中的正则表达式拒绝服务(ReDoS)漏洞。易受 ReDoS 攻击的正则表达式在最坏情况下具有二次复杂度,并且在验证一个精心制作的无效 RFCs 时它会导致拒绝服务。这个 ReDoS 问题发生在客户端,需要远程攻击者控制 HTTP 服务器。

  • bpo-42800: Audit hooks are now fired for frame.f_code, traceback.tb_frame, and generator code/frame attribute access.

核心与内置

  • bpo-43105: Importlib now resolves relative paths when creating module spec objects from file locations.

  • bpo-42924: Fix bytearray repetition incorrectly copying data from the start of the buffer, even if the data is offset within the buffer (e.g. after reassigning a slice at the start of the bytearray to a shorter byte string).

  • bpo-43993: Update bundled pip to 21.1.1.

  • bpo-43937: Fixed the turtle module working with non-default root window.

  • bpo-43930: Update bundled pip to 21.1 and setuptools to 56.0.0

  • bpo-43920: OpenSSL 3.0.0: load_verify_locations() now returns a consistent error message when cadata contains no valid certificate.

  • bpo-43607: urllib can now convert Windows paths with \\?\ prefixes into URL paths.

  • bpo-43284: platform.win32_ver derives the windows version from sys.getwindowsversion().platform_version which in turn derives the version from kernel32.dll (which can be of a different version than Windows itself). Therefore change the platform.win32_ver to determine the version using the platform module's _syscmd_ver private function to return an accurate version.

  • bpo-42248: [Enum] ensure exceptions raised in _missing_ are released.

  • bpo-43799: OpenSSL 3.0.0: define OPENSSL_API_COMPAT 1.1.1 to suppress deprecation warnings. Python requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 APIs.

  • bpo-43794: Add ssl.OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF constants (OpenSSL 3.0.0)

  • bpo-43789: OpenSSL 3.0.0: Don't call the password callback function a second time when first call has signaled an error condition.

  • bpo-43788: The header files for ssl error codes are now OpenSSL version-specific. Exceptions will now show correct reason and library codes. The make_ssl_data.py script has been rewritten to use OpenSSL's text file with error codes.

  • bpo-43655: tkinter dialog windows are now recognized as dialogs by window managers on macOS and X Window.

  • bpo-43534: turtle.textinput() and turtle.numinput() create now a transient window working on behalf of the canvas window.

  • bpo-43522: Fix problem with hostname_checks_common_name. OpenSSL does not copy hostflags from struct SSL_CTX to struct SSL.

  • bpo-42967: Allow bytes separator argument in urllib.parse.parse_qs and urllib.parse.parse_qsl when parsing str query strings. Previously, this raised a TypeError.

  • bpo-43176: Fixed processing of a dataclass that inherits from a frozen dataclass with no fields. It is now correctly detected as an error.

  • bpo-41735: Fix thread locks in zlib module may go wrong in rare case. Patch by Ma Lin.

  • bpo-36470: Fix dataclasses with InitVars and replace(). Patch by Claudiu Popa.

  • bpo-32745: Fix a regression in the handling of ctypes' ctypes.c_wchar_p type: embedded null characters would cause a ValueError to be raised. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

文档

  • bpo-43959: The documentation on the PyContextVar C-API was clarified.

  • bpo-43938: Update dataclasses documentation to express that FrozenInstanceError is derived from AttributeError.

  • bpo-43755: Update documentation to reflect that unparenthesized lambda expressions can no longer be the expression part in an if clause in comprehensions and generator expressions since Python 3.9.

  • bpo-43739: Fixing the example code in Doc/extending/extending.rst to declare and initialize the pmodule variable to be of the right type.

测试

  • bpo-43961: Fix test_logging.test_namer_rotator_inheritance() on Windows: use os.replace() rather than os.rename(). Patch by Victor Stinner.

  • bpo-43842: Fix a race condition in the SMTP test of test_logging. Don't close a file descriptor (socket) from a different thread while asyncore.loop() is polling the file descriptor. Patch by Victor Stinner.

  • bpo-43811: Tests multiple OpenSSL versions on GitHub Actions. Use ccache to speed up testing.

  • bpo-43791: OpenSSL 3.0.0: Disable testing of legacy protocols TLS 1.0 and 1.1. Tests are failing with TLSV1_ALERT_INTERNAL_ERROR.

Windows

macOS

  • bpo-42119: Fix check for macOS SDK paths when building Python. Narrow search to match contents of SDKs, namely only files in /System/Library, /System/IOSSupport, and /usr other than /usr/local. Previously, anything under /System was assumed to be in an SDK which causes problems with the new file system layout in 10.15+ where user file systems may appear to be mounted under /System. Paths in /Library were also incorrectly treated as SDK locations.

  • bpo-44009: Provide "python3.x-intel64" executable to allow reliably forcing macOS universal2 framework builds to run under Rosetta 2 Intel-64 emulation on Apple Silicon Macs. This can be useful for testing or when universal2 wheels are not yet available.

  • bpo-43492: Update macOS installer to use SQLite 3.35.4.

IDLE

  • bpo-43655: IDLE dialog windows are now recognized as dialogs by window managers on macOS and X Window.

Python 3.9.4 final

Release date: 2021-04-04

核心与内置

  • bpo-43710: Reverted the fix for https://bugs.python.org/issue42500 as it changed the PyThreadState struct size and broke the 3.9.x ABI in the 3.9.3 release (visible on 32-bit platforms using binaries compiled using an earlier version of Python 3.9.x headers).

  • bpo-26053: Fixed bug where the pdb interactive run command echoed the args from the shell command line, even if those have been overridden at the pdb prompt.

Python 3.9.3 final

Release date: 2021-04-02

安全

  • bpo-42988: CVE-2021-3426: Remove the getfile feature of the pydoc module which could be abused to read arbitrary files on the disk (directory traversal vulnerability). Moreover, even source code of Python modules can contain sensitive data like passwords. Vulnerability reported by David Schwörer.

  • bpo-43285: ftplib no longer trusts the IP address value returned from the server in response to the PASV command by default. This prevents a malicious FTP server from using the response to probe IPv4 address and port combinations on the client network.

    Code that requires the former vulnerable behavior may set a trust_server_pasv_ipv4_address attribute on their ftplib.FTP instances to True to re-enable it.

  • bpo-43439: Add audit hooks for gc.get_objects(), gc.get_referrers() and gc.get_referents(). Patch by Pablo Galindo.

核心与内置

  • bpo-43660: Fix crash that happens when replacing sys.stderr with a callable that can remove the object while an exception is being printed. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-43555: Report the column offset for SyntaxError for invalid line continuation characters. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-43517: Fix misdetection of circular imports when using from pkg.mod import attr, which caused false positives in non-trivial multi-threaded code.

  • bpo-35883: Python no longer fails at startup with a fatal error if a command line argument contains an invalid Unicode character. The Py_DecodeLocale() function now escapes byte sequences which would be decoded as Unicode characters outside the [U+0000; U+10ffff] range.

  • bpo-43406: Fix a possible race condition where PyErr_CheckSignals tries to execute a non-Python signal handler.

  • bpo-42500: Improve handling of exceptions near recursion limit. Converts a number of Fatal Errors in RecursionErrors.

  • bpo-43433: xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy no longer ignores query and fragment in the URL of the server.

  • bpo-35930: Raising an exception raised in a "future" instance will create reference cycles.

  • bpo-43577: Fix deadlock when using ssl.SSLContext debug callback with ssl.SSLContext.sni_callback().

  • bpo-43521: ast.unparse can now render NaNs and empty sets.

  • bpo-43423: subprocess.communicate() no longer raises an IndexError when there is an empty stdout or stderr IO buffer during a timeout on Windows.

  • bpo-27820: Fixed long-standing bug of smtplib.SMTP where doing AUTH LOGIN with initial_response_ok=False will fail.

    The cause is that SMTP.auth_login _always_ returns a password if provided with a challenge string, thus non-compliant with the standard for AUTH LOGIN.

    Also fixes bug with the test for smtpd.

  • bpo-43332: Improves the networking efficiency of http.client when using a proxy via set_tunnel(). Fewer small send calls are made during connection setup.

  • bpo-43399: Fix ElementTree.extend not working on iterators when using the Python implementation

  • bpo-43316: The python -m gzip command line application now properly fails when detecting an unsupported extension. It exits with a non-zero exit code and prints an error message to stderr.

  • bpo-43260: Fix TextIOWrapper can not flush internal buffer forever after very large text is written.

  • bpo-42782: Fail fast in shutil.move() to avoid creating destination directories on failure.

  • bpo-37193: Fixed memory leak in socketserver.ThreadingMixIn introduced in Python 3.7.

文档

测试

  • bpo-37945: Fix test_getsetlocale_issue1813() of test_locale: skip the test if setlocale() fails. Patch by Victor Stinner.

  • bpo-41561: Add workaround for Ubuntu's custom OpenSSL security level policy.

  • bpo-43288: Fix test_importlib to correctly skip Unicode file tests if the fileystem does not support them.

构建

  • bpo-43631: Update macOS, Windows, and CI to OpenSSL 1.1.1k.

  • bpo-43617: Improve configure.ac: Check for presence of autoconf-archive package and remove our copies of M4 macros.

macOS

  • bpo-41837: Update macOS installer build to use OpenSSL 1.1.1j.

IDLE

  • bpo-42225: Document that IDLE can fail on Unix either from misconfigured IP masquerage rules or failure displaying complex colored (non-ascii) characters.

  • bpo-43283: Document why printing to IDLE's Shell is often slower than printing to a system terminal and that it can be made faster by pre-formatting a single string before printing.

Python 3.9.2 final

  • bpo-34463: Fixed discrepancy between traceback and the interpreter in formatting of SyntaxError with lineno not set (traceback was changed to match interpreter).

  • bpo-42375: subprocess module update for DragonFlyBSD support.

  • bpo-42384: Make pdb populate sys.path[0] exactly the same as regular python execution.

  • bpo-42383: pdb修复: 之前的 pdb 在指定路径时如果使用了相对路径,并且当前路径发生改变后重启调试目标会失败的问题。

  • bpo-42163: Restore compatibility for uname_result around deepcopy and _replace.

  • bpo-39825: Windows: Change sysconfig.get_config_var('EXT_SUFFIX') to the expected full platform_tag.extension format. Previously it was hard-coded to .pyd, now it is compatible with distutils.sysconfig and will result in something like .cp38-win_amd64.pyd. This brings windows into conformance with the other platforms.

  • bpo-42059: typing.TypedDict types created using the alternative call-style syntax now correctly respect the total keyword argument when setting their __required_keys__ and __optional_keys__ class attributes.

Python 3.9.1 final

Release date: 2020-12-07

核心与内置

  • bpo-42576: types.GenericAlias will now raise a TypeError when attempting to initialize with a keyword argument. Previously, this would cause the interpreter to crash if the interpreter was compiled with debug symbols. This does not affect interpreters compiled for release. Patch by Ken Jin.

  • bpo-5054: CGIHTTPRequestHandler.run_cgi() HTTP_ACCEPT improperly parsed. Replace the special purpose getallmatchingheaders with generic get_all method and add relevant tests.

    Original Patch by Martin Panter. Modified by Senthil Kumaran.

  • bpo-17735: inspect.findsource() now raises OSError instead of IndexError when co_lineno of a code object is greater than the file length. This can happen, for example, when a file is edited after it was imported. PR by Irit Katriel.

  • bpo-42116: Fix handling of trailing comments by inspect.getsource().

  • bpo-42487: ChainMap.__iter__ no longer calls __getitem__ on underlying maps

  • bpo-42482: TracebackException no longer holds a reference to the exception's traceback object. Consequently, instances of TracebackException for equivalent but non-equal exceptions now compare as equal.

  • bpo-42406: We fixed an issue in pickle.whichmodule in which importing multiprocessing could change the how pickle identifies which module an object belongs to, potentially breaking the unpickling of those objects.

  • bpo-34215: Clarify the error message for asyncio.IncompleteReadError when expected is None.

  • bpo-12800: Extracting a symlink from a tarball should succeed and overwrite the symlink if it already exists. The fix is to remove the existing file or symlink before extraction. Based on patch by Chris AtLee, Jeffrey Kintscher, and Senthil Kumaran.

测试

macOS

  • bpo-41116: If no explicit macOS SDK was specified, setup.py should check for Tcl and TK frameworks in /Library/Frameworks; the previous commit inadvertently broke that test.

  • bpo-42504: Fix build on macOS Big Sur when MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=11

IDLE

  • bpo-42508: Keep IDLE running on macOS. Remove obsolete workaround that prevented running files with shortcuts when using new universal2 installers built on macOS 11.

Python 3.9.1 release candidate 1

Release date: 2020-11-24

安全

  • bpo-42103: Prevented potential DoS attack via CPU and RAM exhaustion when processing malformed Apple Property List files in binary format.

  • bpo-42051:模块 plistlib 不再接受 XML 属性列表文件中的实体声明(避免引发 XML 脆弱性)。此更改不应该影响用户使用,因为实体声明在常规属性列表文件中不被使用。

  • bpo-40791: Add volatile to the accumulator variable in hmac.compare_digest, making constant-time-defeating optimizations less likely.

核心与内置

  • bpo-41686: On Windows, the SIGINT event, _PyOS_SigintEvent(), is now created even if Python is configured to not install signal handlers (if PyConfig.install_signal_handlers equals to 0, or Py_InitializeEx(0)).

  • bpo-42381: Allow assignment expressions in set literals and set comprehensions as per PEP 572. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-42374: Fix a regression introduced by the new parser, where an unparenthesized walrus operator was not allowed within generator expressions.

  • bpo-42296: On Windows, fix a regression in signal handling which prevented to interrupt a program using CTRL+C. The signal handler can be run in a thread different than the Python thread, in which case the test deciding if the thread can handle signals is wrong.

  • bpo-42332: types.GenericAlias objects can now be the targets of weakrefs.

  • bpo-42218:修正了PEG解析器中导致调试模式崩溃的错误。现在,在左递归规则中检查错误,以避免此类错误没有得到及时处理,并在其他地方出现长距离崩溃的情况。

  • bpo-42214:修正了PEG解析器在检查 barry_as_flufl 规则中的 “!=” 标记时可能的崩溃。由Pablo Galindo修正。

  • bpo-42143: Fix handling of errors during creation of PyFunctionObject, which resulted in operations on uninitialized memory. Patch by Yonatan Goldschmidt.

  • bpo-41659: Fix a bug in the parser, where a curly brace following a primary didn't fail immediately. This led to invalid expressions like a {b} to throw a SyntaxError with a wrong offset, or invalid expressions ending with a curly brace like a { to not fail immediately in the REPL.

  • bpo-42150: Fix possible buffer overflow in the new parser when checking for continuation lines. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-42123: Run the parser two times. On the first run, disable all the rules that only generate better error messages to gain performance. If there's a parse failure, run the parser a second time with those enabled.

  • bpo-42057: 修复窥孔优化程序对条件跳转 + JUMP_IF_NOT_EXC_MATCH 对的错误优化。

  • bpo-41984: 垃圾回收器现在会跟踪所有用户定义类。 由 Brandt Bucher 修复。

  • bpo-41993: Fixed potential issues with removing not completely initialized module from sys.modules when import fails.

  • bpo-41979: Star-unpacking is now allowed for with item's targets in the PEG parser.

  • bpo-41909: Fixed stack overflow in issubclass() and isinstance() when getting the __bases__ attribute leads to infinite recursion.

  • bpo-41894: When loading a native module and a load failure occurs, prevent a possible UnicodeDecodeError when not running in a UTF-8 locale by decoding the load error message using the current locale's encoding.

  • bpo-39934: Correctly count control blocks in 'except' in compiler. Ensures that a syntax error, rather a fatal error, occurs for deeply nested, named exception handlers.

  • bpo-42328: Fixed tkinter.ttk.Style.map(). The function accepts now the representation of the default state as empty sequence (as returned by Style.map()). The structure of the result is now the same on all platform and does not depend on the value of wantobjects.

  • bpo-42345: Fix various issues with typing.Literal parameter handling (flatten, deduplicate, use type to cache key). Patch provided by Yurii Karabas.

  • bpo-42350: Fix the threading.Thread class at fork: do nothing if the thread is already stopped (ex: fork called at Python exit). Previously, an error was logged in the child process.

  • bpo-40780: Fix a corner case where g-style string formatting of a float failed to remove trailing zeros.

  • bpo-38964: When there's a SyntaxError in the expression part of an fstring, the filename attribute of the SyntaxError gets correctly set to the name of the file the fstring resides in.

  • bpo-40750: Support the "-d" debug flag in the new PEG parser. Patch by Pablo Galindo

  • bpo-40217: Instances of types created with PyType_FromSpecWithBases() will no longer automatically visit their class object when traversing references in the garbage collector. The user is expected to manually visit the object's class. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-39791: Built-in loaders (SourceFileLoader and ZipImporter) now supply TraversableResources implementations for ResourceReader, and the fallback function has been removed.

  • bpo-17005: The topological sort functionality that was introduced initially in the functools module has been moved to a new graphlib module to better accommodate the new tools and keep the original scope of the functools module. Patch by Pablo Galindo

  • bpo-40777: Initialize PyDateTime_IsoCalendarDateType.tp_base at run-time to avoid errors on some compilers.

  • bpo-40767: webbrowser now properly finds the default browser in pure Wayland systems by checking the WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variable. Patch contributed by Jérémy Attali.

  • bpo-40791: hashlib.compare_digest() uses OpenSSL's CRYPTO_memcmp() function when OpenSSL is available.

  • bpo-40795: ctypes module: If ctypes fails to convert the result of a callback or if a ctypes callback function raises an exception, sys.unraisablehook is now called with an exception set. Previously, the error was logged into stderr by PyErr_Print().

Constructs like bg="#d00" if clear else"#fca" were failing to parse, which is not an acceptable breakage on such short notice.

  • bpo-40417: Fix imp module deprecation warning when PyImport_ReloadModule is called. Patch by Robert Rouhani.

  • bpo-39305: Update nntplib to merge nntplib.NNTP and nntplib._NNTPBase. Patch by Dong-hee Na.

  • bpo-32494: Update dbm.gnu to use gdbm_count if possible when calling len(). Patch by Dong-hee Na.

  • bpo-40453: Add isolated=True keyword-only parameter to _xxsubinterpreters.create(). An isolated subinterpreter cannot spawn threads, spawn a child process or call os.fork().

  • bpo-40286: Remove _random.Random.randbytes(): the C implementation of randbytes(). Implement the method in Python to ease subclassing: randbytes() now directly reuses getrandbits().

  • bpo-40458: Increase reserved stack space to prevent overflow crash on Windows.

  • bpo-39148: Add IPv6 support to asyncio datagram endpoints in ProactorEventLoop. Change the raised exception for unknown address families to ValueError as it's not coming from Windows API.

macOS

  • bpo-34956: When building Python on macOS from source, _tkinter now links with non-system Tcl and Tk frameworks if they are installed in /Library/Frameworks, as had been the case on older releases of macOS. If a macOS SDK is explicitly configured, by using --enable-universalsdk= or -isysroot, only the SDK itself is searched. The default behavior can still be overridden with --with-tcltk-includes and --with-tcltk-libs.

  • bpo-35569: Expose RFC 3542 IPv6 socket options.

核心与内置

  • bpo-40313: Improve the performance of bytes.hex().

  • bpo-40334: Switch to a new parser, based on PEG. For more details see PEP 617. To temporarily switch back to the old parser, use -X oldparser or PYTHONOLDPARSER=1. In Python 3.10 we will remove the old parser completely, including the parser module (already deprecated) and anything that depends on it.

  • bpo-40267: Fix the tokenizer to display the correct error message, when there is a SyntaxError on the last input character and no newline follows. It used to be unexpected EOF while parsing, while it should be invalid syntax.

  • bpo-39522: Correctly unparse explicit u prefix for strings when postponed evaluation for annotations activated. Patch by Batuhan Taskaya.

  • bpo-40246: Report a specialized error message, invalid string prefix, when the tokenizer encounters a string with an invalid prefix.

  • bpo-40082: Fix the signal handler: it now always uses the main interpreter, rather than trying to get the current Python thread state.

  • bpo-37388: str.encode() and str.decode() no longer check the encoding and errors in development mode or in debug mode during Python finalization. The codecs machinery can no longer work on very late calls to str.encode() and str.decode().

  • bpo-40077: Fix possible refleaks in _json, memo of PyScannerObject should be traversed.

  • bpo-37207: Speed up calls to dict() by using the PEP 590 vectorcall calling convention.

  • bpo-1635741: Port _functools module to multiphase initialization (PEP 489). Patch by Paulo Henrique Silva.

  • bpo-1635741: Port operator module to multiphase initialization (PEP 489). Patch by Paulo Henrique Silva.

  • bpo-20526: Fix PyThreadState_Clear(). PyThreadState.frame is a borrowed reference, not a strong reference: PyThreadState_Clear() must not call Py_CLEAR(tstate->frame).

  • bpo-1635741: Port time module to multiphase initialization (PEP 489). Patch by Paulo Henrique Silva.

  • bpo-1635741: Port _weakref extension module to multiphase initialization (PEP 489).

  • bpo-40396: Functions typing.get_origin(), typing.get_args() and typing.get_type_hints() support now generic aliases like list[int].

  • bpo-38061: Optimize the subprocess module on FreeBSD using closefrom(). A single close(fd) syscall is cheap, but when sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) is high, the loop calling close(fd) on each file descriptor can take several milliseconds.

    The workaround on FreeBSD to improve performance was to load and mount the fdescfs kernel module, but this is not enabled by default.

    Initial patch by Ed Maste (emaste), Conrad Meyer (cem), Kyle Evans (kevans) and Kubilay Kocak (koobs): https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242274

  • bpo-38061: On FreeBSD, os.closerange(fd_low, fd_high) now calls closefrom(fd_low) if fd_high is greater than or equal to sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX).

  • bpo-40148: Added pathlib.Path.with_stem() to create a new Path with the stem replaced.

  • bpo-40325: Deprecated support for set objects in random.sample().

  • bpo-40257: Improved help for the typing module. Docstrings are now shown for all special forms and special generic aliases (like Union and List). Using help() with generic alias like List[int] will show the help for the correspondent concrete type (list in this case).

  • bpo-40257: func:inspect.getdoc no longer returns docstring inherited from the type of the object or from parent class if it is a class if it is not defined in the object itself. In pydoc the documentation string is now shown not only for class, function, method etc, but for any object that has its own __doc__ attribute.

  • bpo-40287: Fixed SpooledTemporaryFile.seek() to return the position.

  • bpo-40290: Added zscore() to statistics.NormalDist().

  • bpo-40270: The included copy of sqlite3 on Windows is now compiled with the json extension. This allows the use of functions such as json_object.

  • bpo-29255: Wait in KqueueSelector.select when no fds are registered

  • bpo-40260: Ensure modulefinder uses io.open_code() and respects coding comments.

  • bpo-40234: Allow again to spawn daemon threads in subinterpreters (revert change which denied them).

  • bpo-39207: Workers in ProcessPoolExecutor are now spawned on demand, only when there are no available idle workers to reuse. This optimizes startup overhead and reduces the amount of lost CPU time to idle workers. Patch by Kyle Stanley.

  • bpo-40091: Fix a hang at fork in the logging module: the new private _at_fork_reinit() method is now used to reinitialize locks at fork in the child process.

  • bpo-40149: Implement traverse and clear slots in _abc._abc_data type.

  • bpo-40208: Remove deprecated symtable.SymbolTable.has_exec().

  • bpo-36517: Multiple inheritance with typing.NamedTuple now raises an error instead of silently ignoring other types.

  • bpo-40126: Fixed reverting multiple patches in unittest.mock. Patcher's __exit__() is now never called if its __enter__() is failed. Returning true from __exit__() silences now the exception.

  • bpo-40094: CGIHTTPRequestHandler of http.server now logs the CGI script exit code, rather than the CGI script exit status of os.waitpid(). For example, if the script is killed by signal 11, it now logs: "CGI script exit code -11."

  • bpo-40108: Improve the error message when triying to import a module using runpy and incorrently use the ".py" extension at the end of the module name. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-40094: Add os.waitstatus_to_exitcode() function: convert a wait status to an exit code.

  • bpo-40089: Fix threading._after_fork(): if fork was not called by a thread spawned by threading.Thread, threading._after_fork() now creates a _MainThread instance for _main_thread, instead of a _DummyThread instance.

  • bpo-40089: Add a private _at_fork_reinit() method to _thread.Lock, _thread.RLock, threading.RLock and threading.Condition classes: reinitialize the lock at fork in the child process, reset the lock to the unlocked state.

Python 3.9.0 alpha 5

Release date: 2020-03-23

安全

  • bpo-38576: Disallow control characters in hostnames in http.client, addressing CVE-2019-18348. Such potentially malicious header injection URLs now cause a InvalidURL to be raised.

核心与内置

  • bpo-40010: Optimize pending calls in multithreaded applications. If a thread different than the main thread schedules a pending call (Py_AddPendingCall()), the bytecode evaluation loop is no longer interrupted at each bytecode instruction to check for pending calls which cannot be executed. Only the main thread can execute pending calls.

    Previously, the bytecode evaluation loop was interrupted at each instruction until the main thread executes pending calls.

  • bpo-1635741: Port _weakref extension module to multiphase initialization (PEP 489).

  • bpo-1635741: Port _collections module to multiphase initialization (PEP 489).

  • bpo-40010: Optimize signal handling in multithreaded applications. If a thread different than the main thread gets a signal, the bytecode evaluation loop is no longer interrupted at each bytecode instruction to check for pending signals which cannot be handled. Only the main thread of the main interpreter can handle signals.

    Previously, the bytecode evaluation loop was interrupted at each instruction until the main thread handles signals.

  • bpo-39984: If Py_AddPendingCall() is called in a subinterpreter, the function is now scheduled to be called from the subinterpreter, rather than being called from the main interpreter. Each subinterpreter now has its own list of scheduled calls.

  • bpo-1635741: Port _heapq module to multiphase initialization.

  • bpo-1635741: Port itertools module to multiphase initialization (PEP 489).

  • bpo-37207: Speed up calls to frozenset() by using the PEP 590 vectorcall calling convention. Patch by Dong-hee Na.

  • bpo-39984: subinterpreters: Move _PyRuntimeState.ceval.tracing_possible to PyInterpreterState.ceval.tracing_possible: each interpreter now has its own variable.

  • bpo-39562: Allow executing asynchronous comprehensions on the top level when the PyCF_ALLOW_TOP_LEVEL_AWAIT flag is given. Patch by Batuhan Taskaya.

  • bpo-37207: Speed up calls to tuple() by using the PEP 590 vectorcall calling convention. Patch by Dong-hee Na.

  • bpo-38373: Chaged list overallocation strategy. It no longer overallocates if the new size is closer to overalocated size than to the old size and adds padding.

  • bpo-39926: Update Unicode database to Unicode version 13.0.0.

  • bpo-19466: Clear the frames of daemon threads earlier during the Python shutdown to call objects destructors. So "unclosed file" resource warnings are now emitted for daemon threads in a more reliable way.

  • bpo-38894: Fix a bug that was causing incomplete results when calling pathlib.Path.glob in the presence of symlinks that point to files where the user does not have read access. Patch by Pablo Galindo and Matt Wozniski.

  • bpo-39877: Fix PyEval_RestoreThread() random crash at exit with daemon threads. It now accesses the _PyRuntime variable directly instead of using tstate->interp->runtime, since tstate can be a dangling pointer after Py_Finalize() has been called. Moreover, the daemon thread now exits before trying to take the GIL.

  • bpo-39871: Fix a possible SystemError in math.{atan2,copysign,remainder}() when the first argument cannot be converted to a float. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

  • bpo-39776: Fix race condition where threads created by PyGILState_Ensure() could get a duplicate id.

    This affects consumers of tstate->id like the contextvar caching machinery, which could return invalid cached objects under heavy thread load (observed in embedded scenarios).

  • bpo-39778: Fixed a crash due to incorrect handling of weak references in collections.OrderedDict classes. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-40000: Improved error messages for validation of ast.Constant nodes. Patch by Batuhan Taskaya.

  • bpo-39999: __module__ of the AST node classes is now set to "ast" instead of "_ast". Added docstrings for dummy AST node classes and deprecated attributes.

  • bpo-39991: uuid.getnode() now skips IPv6 addresses with the same string length than a MAC address (17 characters): only use MAC addresses.

  • bpo-39988: Deprecated ast.AugLoad and ast.AugStore node classes because they are no longer used.

  • bpo-39656: Ensure bin/python3.# is always present in virtual environments on POSIX platforms - by Anthony Sottile.

  • bpo-39360: Ensure all workers exit when finalizing a multiprocessing.Pool implicitly via the module finalization handlers of multiprocessing. This fixes a deadlock situation that can be experienced when the Pool is not properly finalized via the context manager or a call to multiprocessing.Pool.terminate. Patch by Batuhan Taskaya and Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-35370: sys.settrace(), sys.setprofile() and _lsprof.Profiler.enable() now properly report PySys_Audit() error if "sys.setprofile" or "sys.settrace" audit event is denied.

  • bpo-39936: AIX: Fix _aix_support module when the subprocess is not available, when building Python from scratch. It now uses new private _bootsubprocess module, rather than having two implementations depending if subprocess is available or not. So _aix_support.aix_platform() result is now the same if subprocess is available or not.

  • bpo-36144: collections.OrderedDict now implements | and |= (PEP 584).

  • bpo-39652: The column name found in sqlite3.Cursor.description is now truncated on the first '[' only if the PARSE_COLNAMES option is set.

  • bpo-39915: Ensure unittest.mock.AsyncMock.await_args_list has call objects in the order of awaited arguments instead of using unittest.mock.Mock.call_args which has the last value of the call. Patch by Karthikeyan Singaravelan.

  • bpo-36144: Updated os.environ and os.environb to support PEP 584's merge (|) and update (|=) operators.

  • bpo-38662: The ensurepip module now invokes pip via the runpy module. Hence it is no longer tightly coupled with the internal API of the bundled pip version, allowing easier updates to a newer pip version both internally and for distributors.

  • bpo-38075: Fix the random.Random.seed() method when a bool is passed as the seed.

  • bpo-39916: More reliable use of os.scandir() in Path.glob(). It no longer emits a ResourceWarning when interrupted.

  • bpo-39850: multiprocessing now supports abstract socket addresses (if abstract sockets are supported in the running platform). When creating arbitrary addresses (like when default-constructing multiprocessing.connection.Listener objects) abstract sockets are preferred to avoid the case when the temporary-file-generated address is too large for an AF_UNIX socket address. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-36287: ast.dump() no longer outputs optional fields and attributes with default values. The default values for optional fields and attributes of AST nodes are now set as class attributes (e.g. Constant.kind is set to None).

  • bpo-39889: Fixed ast.unparse() for extended slices containing a single element (e.g. a[i:j,]). Remove redundant tuples when index with a tuple (e.g. a[i, j]).

  • bpo-39828: Fix json.tool to catch BrokenPipeError. Patch by Dong-hee Na.

  • bpo-13487: Avoid a possible "RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration" from inspect.getmodule() when it tried to loop through sys.modules.

  • bpo-39674: Revert "bpo-37330: open() no longer accept 'U' in file mode". The "U" mode of open() is kept in Python 3.9 to ease transition from Python 2.7, but will be removed in Python 3.10.

  • bpo-28577: The hosts method on 32-bit prefix length IPv4Networks and 128-bit prefix IPv6Networks now returns a list containing the single Address instead of an empty list.

  • bpo-39764: Fix AttributeError when calling get_stack on a PyAsyncGenObject Task

  • bpo-39769: The compileall.compile_dir() function's ddir parameter and the compileall command line flag -d no longer write the wrong pathname to the generated pyc file for submodules beneath the root of the directory tree being compiled. This fixes a regression introduced with Python 3.5.

  • bpo-36144: types.MappingProxyType objects now support the merge (|) operator from PEP 584.

  • bpo-38691: The importlib module now ignores the PYTHONCASEOK environment variable when the -E or -I command line options are being used.

  • bpo-39719: Remove tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile.softspace() as files no longer have the softspace attribute in Python 3. Patch by Shantanu.

  • bpo-38971: Open issue in the BPO indicated a desire to make the implementation of codecs.open() at parity with io.open(), which implements a try/except to assure file stream gets closed before an exception is raised.

  • bpo-38641: Added starred expressions support to return and yield statements for lib2to3. Patch by Vlad Emelianov.

  • bpo-37534: When using minidom module to generate XML documents the ability to add Standalone Document Declaration is added. All the changes are made to generate a document in compliance with Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth Edition) W3C Recommendation (available here: https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#sec-prolog-dtd).

  • bpo-34788: Add support for scoped IPv6 addresses to ipaddress. Patch by Oleksandr Pavliuk.

  • bpo-39349: Added a new cancel_futures parameter to concurrent.futures.Executor.shutdown() that cancels all pending futures which have not started running, instead of waiting for them to complete before shutting down the executor.

  • bpo-39274: bool(fraction.Fraction) now returns a boolean even if (numerator != 0) does not return a boolean (ex: numpy number).

  • bpo-34793: Remove support for with (await asyncio.lock): and with (yield from asyncio.lock):. The same is correct for asyncio.Condition and asyncio.Semaphore.

C API

  • bpo-35081: Move the bytes_methods.h header file to the internal C API as pycore_bytes_methods.h: it only contains private symbols (prefixed by _Py), except of the PyDoc_STRVAR_shared() macro.

  • bpo-35081: Move the dtoa.h header file to the internal C API as pycore_dtoa.h: it only contains private functions (prefixed by _Py). The math and cmath modules must now be compiled with the Py_BUILD_CORE macro defined.

  • bpo-39542: In the limited C API, PyObject_INIT() and PyObject_INIT_VAR() are now defined as aliases to PyObject_Init() and PyObject_InitVar() to make their implementation opaque. It avoids to leak implementation details in the limited C API. Exclude the following functions from the limited C API: _Py_NewReference(), _Py_ForgetReference(), _PyTraceMalloc_NewReference() and _Py_GetRefTotal().

  • bpo-39542: Exclude trashcan mechanism from the limited C API: it requires access to PyTypeObject and PyThreadState structure fields, whereas these structures are opaque in the limited C API.

  • bpo-29435: Allow tarfile.is_tarfile() to be used with file and file-like objects, like zipfile.is_zipfile(). Patch by William Woodruff.

  • bpo-39377: Removed encoding option from json.loads(). It has been deprecated since Python 3.1.

  • bpo-39389: Write accurate compression level metadata in gzip archives, rather than always signaling maximum compression.

  • bpo-39366: The previously deprecated xpath() and xgtitle() methods of nntplib.NNTP have been removed.

  • bpo-39357: Remove the buffering parameter of bz2.BZ2File. Since Python 3.0, it was ignored and using it was emitting DeprecationWarning. Pass an open file object, to control how the file is opened. The compresslevel parameter becomes keyword-only.

  • bpo-39353: Deprecate binhex4 and hexbin4 standards. Deprecate the binhex module and the following binascii functions: b2a_hqx(), a2b_hqx(), rlecode_hqx(), rledecode_hqx(), crc_hqx().

  • bpo-39297: Improved performance of importlib.metadata distribution discovery and resilients to inaccessible sys.path entries (importlib_metadata v1.4.0).

  • bpo-39259: NNTP and NNTP_SSL now raise a ValueError if the given timeout for their constructor is zero to prevent the creation of a non-blocking socket. Patch by Dong-hee Na.

  • bpo-38901: When you specify prompt='.' or equivalently python -m venv --prompt . ... the basename of the current directory is used to set the created venv's prompt when it's activated.

  • bpo-39288: Add math.nextafter(): return the next floating-point value after x towards y.

  • bpo-39259: POP3 and POP3_SSL now raise a ValueError if the given timeout for their constructor is zero to prevent the creation of a non-blocking socket. Patch by Dong-hee Na.

  • bpo-35292: Proxy the SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.guess_type to mimetypes.guess_type so the mimetypes.init is called lazily to avoid unnecessary costs when http.server module is imported.

  • bpo-39239: The select.epoll.unregister() method no longer ignores the EBADF error.

  • bpo-38907: In http.server script, restore binding to IPv4 on Windows.

  • bpo-39152: Fix ttk.Scale.configure([name]) to return configuration tuple for name or all options. Giovanni Lombardo contributed part of the patch.

  • bpo-39198: If an exception were to be thrown in Logger.isEnabledFor (say, by asyncio timeouts or stopit) , the logging global lock may not be released appropriately, resulting in deadlock. This change wraps that block of code with try...finally to ensure the lock is released.

  • bpo-39191: Perform a check for running loop before starting a new task in loop.run_until_complete() to fail fast; it prevents the side effect of new task spawning before exception raising.

  • bpo-38871: Correctly parenthesize filter-based statements that contain lambda expressions in mod:lib2to3. Patch by Dong-hee Na.

  • bpo-39142: A change was made to logging.config.dictConfig to avoid converting instances of named tuples to ConvertingTuple. It's assumed that named tuples are too specialised to be treated like ordinary tuples; if a user of named tuples requires ConvertingTuple functionality, they will have to implement that themselves in their named tuple class.

  • bpo-39158: ast.literal_eval() now supports empty sets.

  • bpo-39129: Fix import path for asyncio.TimeoutError

  • bpo-39057: urllib.request.proxy_bypass_environment() now ignores leading dots and no longer ignores a trailing newline.

  • bpo-39055: base64.b64decode() with validate=True raises now a binascii.Error if the input ends with a single \n.

  • bpo-21600: Fix mock.patch.stopall() to stop active patches that were created with mock.patch.dict().

  • bpo-39019: Implement dummy __class_getitem__ for tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile.

  • bpo-39019: Implement dummy __class_getitem__ for subprocess.Popen, subprocess.CompletedProcess

  • bpo-38914: Adjusted the wording of the warning issued by distutils' check command when the author and maintainer fields are supplied but no corresponding e-mail field (author_email or maintainer_email) is found. The wording now reflects the fact that these fields are suggested, but not required. Patch by Juergen Gmach.

  • bpo-38878: Fixed __subclasshook__ of os.PathLike to return a correct result upon inheritence. Patch by Bar Harel.

  • bpo-38615: IMAP4 and IMAP4_SSL now have an optional timeout parameter for their constructors. Also, the open() method now has an optional timeout parameter with this change. The overridden methods of IMAP4_SSL and IMAP4_stream were applied to this change. Patch by Dong-hee Na.

  • bpo-35182: Fixed Popen.communicate() subsequent call crash when the child process has already closed any piped standard stream, but still continues to be running. Patch by Andriy Maletsky.

  • bpo-38630: On Unix, subprocess.Popen.send_signal() now polls the process status. Polling reduces the risk of sending a signal to the wrong process if the process completed, the subprocess.Popen.returncode attribute is still None, and the pid has been reassigned (recycled) to a new different process.

  • bpo-38536: Removes trailing space in formatted currency with international=True and a locale with symbol following value. E.g. locale.currency(12.34, international=True) returned '12,34 EUR ' instead of '12,34 EUR'.

  • bpo-38473: Use signature from inner mock for autospecced methods attached with unittest.mock.attach_mock(). Patch by Karthikeyan Singaravelan.

  • bpo-38361: Fixed an issue where ident could include a leading path separator when syslog.openlog() was called without arguments.

  • bpo-38293: Add copy.copy() and copy.deepcopy() support to property() objects.

  • bpo-37958: Added the pstats.Stats.get_profile_dict() method to return the profile data as a StatsProfile instance.

  • bpo-28367: Termios magic constants for the following baud rates: - B500000 - B576000 - B921600 - B1000000 - B1152000 - B1500000 - B2000000 - B2500000 - B3000000 - B3500000 - B4000000 Patch by Andrey Smirnov

安全

  • bpo-38945: Newline characters have been escaped when performing uu encoding to prevent them from overflowing into to content section of the encoded file. This prevents malicious or accidental modification of data during the decoding process.

  • bpo-37228: Due to significant security concerns, the reuse_address parameter of asyncio.loop.create_datagram_endpoint() is no longer supported. This is because of the behavior of SO_REUSEADDR in UDP. For more details, see the documentation for loop.create_datagram_endpoint(). (Contributed by Kyle Stanley, Antoine Pitrou, and Yury Selivanov in bpo-37228.)

  • bpo-38804: Fixes a ReDoS vulnerability in http.cookiejar. Patch by Ben Caller.

核心与内置

  • bpo-39028: Slightly improve the speed of keyword argument parsing with many kwargs by strengthening the assumption that kwargs are interned strings.

  • bpo-39080: Fix the value of end_col_offset for Starred Expression AST nodes when they are among the elements in the args attribute of Call AST nodes.

  • bpo-39031: When parsing an "elif" node, lineno and col_offset of the node now point to the "elif" keyword and not to its condition, making it consistent with the "if" node. Patch by Lysandros Nikolaou.

  • bpo-20443: In Python 3.9.0a1, sys.argv[0] was made an absolute path if a filename was specified on the command line. Revert this change, since most users expect sys.argv to be unmodified.

  • bpo-39008: PySys_Audit() now requires Py_ssize_t to be used for size arguments in the format string, regardless of whether PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN was defined at include time.

  • bpo-38673: In REPL mode, don't switch to PS2 if the line starts with comment or whitespace. Based on work by Batuhan Taşkaya.

  • bpo-38922: Calling replace on a code object now raises the code.__new__ audit event.

  • bpo-38920: Add audit hooks for when sys.excepthook() and sys.unraisablehook() are invoked.

  • bpo-38892: Improve documentation for audit events table and functions.

  • bpo-38852: Set the thread stack size to 8 Mb for debug builds on android platforms.

  • bpo-38858: Each Python subinterpreter now has its own "small integer singletons": numbers in [-5; 257] range. It is no longer possible to change the number of small integers at build time by overriding NSMALLNEGINTS and NSMALLPOSINTS macros: macros should now be modified manually in pycore_pystate.h header file.

  • bpo-36854: The garbage collector state becomes per interpreter (PyInterpreterState.gc), rather than being global (_PyRuntimeState.gc).

  • bpo-38835: The PyFPE_START_PROTECT() and PyFPE_END_PROTECT() macros are empty: they have been doing nothing for the last year, so stop using them.

  • bpo-38328: Sped up the creation time of constant list and set displays. Patch by Brandt Bucher.

  • bpo-38707: MainThread.native_id is now correctly reset in child processes spawned using multiprocessing.Process, instead of retaining the parent's value.

  • bpo-38629: Added __floor__ and __ceil__ methods to float object. Patch by Batuhan Taşkaya.

  • bpo-27145: int + int and int - int operators can now return small integer singletons. Patch by hongweipeng.

  • bpo-38021: Provide a platform tag for AIX that is sufficient for PEP425 binary distribution identification. Patch by Michael Felt.

  • bpo-35409: Ignore GeneratorExit exceptions when throwing an exception into the aclose coroutine of an asynchronous generator.

  • bpo-33387: Removed WITH_CLEANUP_START, WITH_CLEANUP_FINISH, BEGIN_FINALLY, END_FINALLY, CALL_FINALLY and POP_FINALLY bytecodes. Replaced with RERAISE and WITH_EXCEPT_START bytecodes. The compiler now generates different code for exceptional and non-exceptional branches for 'with' and 'try-except' statements. For 'try-finally' statements the 'finally' block is replicated for each exit from the 'try' body.

  • bpo-39033: Fix NameError in zipimport. Patch by Karthikeyan Singaravelan.

  • bpo-39022: Update importlib.metadata to include improvements from importlib_metadata 1.3 including better serialization of EntryPoints and improved documentation for custom finders.

  • bpo-38708: Fix a potential IndexError in email parser when parsing an empty msg-id.

  • bpo-38698: Add a new InvalidMessageID token to email parser to represent invalid Message-ID headers. Also, add defects when there is remaining value after parsing the header.

  • bpo-38994: Implement __class_getitem__ for os.PathLike, pathlib.Path.

  • bpo-38979: Return class from ContextVar.__class_getitem__ to simplify subclassing.

  • bpo-38978: Implement __class_getitem__ on asyncio objects (Future, Task, Queue). Patch by Batuhan Taskaya.

  • bpo-38916: array.array: Remove tostring() and fromstring() methods. They were aliases to tobytes() and frombytes(), deprecated since Python 3.2.

  • bpo-38986: Make repr of C accelerated TaskWakeupMethWrapper the same as of pure Python version.

  • bpo-38982: Fix asyncio PidfdChildWatcher: handle waitpid() error. If waitpid() is called elsewhere, waitpid() call fails with ChildProcessError: use return code 255 in this case, and log a warning. It ensures that the pidfd file descriptor is closed if this error occurs.

  • bpo-38529: Drop too noisy asyncio warning about deletion of a stream without explicit .close() call.

  • bpo-27413: Added ability to pass through ensure_ascii options to json.dumps in the json.tool command-line interface.

  • bpo-38634: The readline module now detects if Python is linked to libedit at runtime on all platforms. Previously, the check was only done on macOS.

  • bpo-33684: Fix json.tool failed to read a JSON file with non-ASCII characters when locale encoding is not UTF-8.

  • bpo-38698: Prevent UnboundLocalError to pop up in parse_message_id.

  • bpo-38927: Use python -m pip instead of pip to upgrade dependencies in venv.

  • bpo-26730: Fix SpooledTemporaryFile.rollover() might corrupt the file when it is in text mode. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.

  • bpo-38881: random.choices() now raises a ValueError when all the weights are zero.

  • bpo-38876: Raise pickle.UnpicklingError when loading an item from memo for invalid input.

    The previous code was raising a KeyError for both the Python and C implementation. This was caused by the specified index of an invalid input which did not exist in the memo structure, where the pickle stores what objects it has seen. The malformed input would have caused either a BINGET or LONG_BINGET load from the memo, leading to a KeyError as the determined index was bogus. Patch by Claudiu Popa

  • bpo-38688: Calling func:shutil.copytree to copy a directory tree from one directory to another subdirectory resulted in an endless loop and a RecursionError. A fix was added to consume an iterator and create the list of the entries to be copied, avoiding the recursion for newly created directories. Patch by Bruno P. Kinoshita.

  • bpo-38863: Improve is_cgi() function in http.server, which enables processing the case that cgi directory is a child of another directory other than root.

  • bpo-37838: typing.get_type_hints() properly handles functions decorated with functools.wraps().

  • bpo-38870: Expose ast.unparse() as a function of the ast module that can be used to unparse an ast.AST object and produce a string with code that would produce an equivalent ast.AST object when parsed. Patch by Pablo Galindo and Batuhan Taskaya.

  • bpo-38859: AsyncMock now returns StopAsyncIteration on the exhaustion of a side_effects iterable. Since PEP-479 its Impossible to raise a StopIteration exception from a coroutine.

  • bpo-38857: AsyncMock fix for return values that are awaitable types. This also covers side_effect iterable values that happened to be awaitable, and wraps callables that return an awaitable type. Before these awaitables were being awaited instead of being returned as is.

  • bpo-38834: typing.TypedDict subclasses now track which keys are optional using the __required_keys__ and __optional_keys__ attributes, to enable runtime validation by downstream projects. Patch by Zac Hatfield-Dodds.

  • bpo-38821: Fix unhandled exceptions in argparse when internationalizing error messages for arguments with nargs set to special (non-integer) values. Patch by Federico Bond.

  • bpo-38820: Make Python compatible with OpenSSL 3.0.0. ssl.SSLSocket.getpeercert() no longer returns IPv6 addresses with a trailing new line.

  • bpo-38811: Fix an unhandled exception in pathlib when os.link() is missing. Patch by Toke Høiland-Jørgensen.

  • bpo-38686: Added support for multiple qop values in urllib.request.AbstractDigestAuthHandler.

  • bpo-38712: Add the Linux-specific signal.pidfd_send_signal() function, which allows sending a signal to a process identified by a file descriptor rather than a pid.

  • bpo-38348: Add -i and --indent (indentation level), and --no-type-comments (type comments) command line options to ast parsing tool.

  • bpo-37523: Change zipfile.ZipExtFile to raise ValueError when trying to access the underlying file object after it has been closed. This new behavior is consistent with how accessing closed files is handled in other parts of Python.

  • bpo-38045: Improve the performance of enum._decompose() in enum. Patch by hongweipeng.

  • bpo-36820: Break cycle generated when saving an exception in socket.py, codeop.py and dyld.py as they keep alive not only the exception but user objects through the __traceback__ attribute. Patch by Mario Corchero.

测试

  • bpo-38546: Fix test_ressources_gced_in_workers() of test_concurrent_futures: explicitly stop the manager to prevent leaking a child process running in the background after the test completes.

  • bpo-38546: Multiprocessing and concurrent.futures tests now stop the resource tracker process when tests complete.

  • bpo-38614: Replace hardcoded timeout constants in tests with new test.support constants: LOOPBACK_TIMEOUT, INTERNET_TIMEOUT, SHORT_TIMEOUT and LONG_TIMEOUT. It becomes easier to adjust these four timeout constants for all tests at once, rather than having to adjust every single test file.

  • bpo-38547: Fix test_pty: if the process is the session leader, closing the master file descriptor raises a SIGHUP signal: simply ignore SIGHUP when running the tests.

  • bpo-38992: Fix a test for math.fsum() that was failing due to constant folding.

  • bpo-38991: test.support: run_python_until_end(), assert_python_ok() and assert_python_failure() functions no longer strip whitespaces from stderr. Remove test.support.strip_python_stderr() function.

  • bpo-38965: Fix test_faulthandler on GCC 10. Use the "volatile" keyword in faulthandler._stack_overflow() to prevent tail call optimization on any compiler, rather than relying on compiler specific pragma.

  • bpo-38875: test_capi: trashcan tests now require the test "cpu" resource.

  • bpo-38841: Skip asyncio test_create_datagram_endpoint_existing_sock_unix on platforms lacking a functional bind() for named unix domain sockets.

  • bpo-38692: Skip the test_posix.test_pidfd_open() test if os.pidfd_open() fails with a PermissionError. This situation can happen in a Linux sandbox using a syscall whitelist which doesn't allow the pidfd_open() syscall yet.

  • bpo-38839: Fix some unused functions in tests. Patch by Adam Johnson.

  • bpo-38669: Raise TypeError when passing target as a string with unittest.mock.patch.object().

  • bpo-37957: test.regrtest now can receive a list of test patterns to ignore (using the -i/--ignore argument) or a file with a list of patterns to ignore (using the --ignore-file argument). Patch by Pablo Galindo.

构建

  • bpo-37404: asyncio now raises TyperError when calling incompatible methods with an ssl.SSLSocket socket. Patch by Ido Michael.

C API

  • bpo-38896: Remove PyUnicode_ClearFreeList() function: the Unicode free list has been removed in Python 3.3.

  • bpo-37340: Remove PyMethod_ClearFreeList() and PyCFunction_ClearFreeList() functions: the free lists of bound method objects have been removed.

  • bpo-38835: Exclude PyFPE_START_PROTECT() and PyFPE_END_PROTECT() macros of pyfpe.h from Py_LIMITED_API (stable API).

核心与内置

  • bpo-38631: Replace Py_FatalError() call with a regular RuntimeError exception in float.__getformat__().

  • bpo-38639: Optimized math.floor(), math.ceil() and math.trunc() for floats.

  • bpo-38640: Fixed a bug in the compiler that was causing to raise in the presence of break statements and continue statements inside always false while loops. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-38613: Optimized some set operations (e.g. |, ^, and -) of dict_keys. d.keys() | other was slower than set(d) | other but they are almost same performance for now.

  • bpo-28029: "".replace("", s, n) now returns s instead of an empty string for all non-zero n. There are similar changes for bytes and bytearray objects.

  • bpo-38535: 修复了装饰器中不带参数调用的AST节点的行号和列偏移量。

  • bpo-38525: 修复了使用空 dict 对象的反向迭代器时的分段错误。由 Dong-hee Na 和 Inada Naoki 补丁修复

  • bpo-38465: bytearray, array and mmap objects allow now to export more than 2**31 buffers at a time.

  • bpo-38469: Fixed a bug where the scope of named expressions was not being resolved correctly in the presence of the global keyword. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-38437: Activate the GC_DEBUG macro for debug builds of the interpreter (when Py_DEBUG is set). Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-38379: When the garbage collector makes a collection in which some objects resurrect (they are reachable from outside the isolated cycles after the finalizers have been executed), do not block the collection of all objects that are still unreachable. Patch by Pablo Galindo and Tim Peters.

  • bpo-38379: When cyclic garbage collection (gc) runs finalizers that resurrect unreachable objects, the current gc run ends, without collecting any cyclic trash. However, the statistics reported by collect() and get_stats() claimed that all cyclic trash found was collected, and that the resurrected objects were collected. Changed the stats to report that none were collected.

  • bpo-38392: In debug mode, PyObject_GC_Track() now calls tp_traverse() of the object type to ensure that the object is valid: test that objects visited by tp_traverse() are valid.

  • bpo-38210: Remove unecessary intersection and update set operation in dictview with empty set. (Contributed by Dong-hee Na in bpo-38210.)

  • bpo-38402: Check the error from the system's underlying crypt or crypt_r.

  • bpo-37474: On FreeBSD, Python no longer calls fedisableexcept() at startup to control the floating point control mode. The call became useless since FreeBSD 6: it became the default mode.

  • bpo-38006: Fix a bug due to the interaction of weakrefs and the cyclic garbage collector. We must clear any weakrefs in garbage in order to prevent their callbacks from executing and causing a crash.

  • bpo-38317: Fix warnings options priority: PyConfig.warnoptions has the highest priority, as stated in the PEP 587.

  • bpo-38310: Predict BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL -> CALL_FUNCTION_EX opcode pairs in the main interpreter loop. Patch by Brandt Bucher.

  • bpo-36871: 改进了 mock 的 assert_has_calls 和 assert_has_awaits 方法的错误处理。 修复了一个漏洞,它会在将预期的调用绑定到 mock 的规格时静默接收所遇到的任何错误,从而产生误导性的错误输出。

  • bpo-11410: Better control over symbol visibility is provided through use of the visibility attributes available in gcc >= 4.0, provided in a uniform way across POSIX and Windows. The POSIX build files have been updated to compile with -fvisibility=hidden, minimising exported symbols.

  • bpo-38219: Optimized the dict constructor and the update() method for the case when the argument is a dict.

  • bpo-38236: Python now dumps path configuration if it fails to import the Python codecs of the filesystem and stdio encodings.

  • bpo-38013: Allow to call async_generator_athrow().throw(...) even for non-started async generator helper. It fixes annoying warning at the end of asyncio.run() call.

  • bpo-38124: Fix an off-by-one error in PyState_AddModule that could cause out-of-bounds memory access.

  • bpo-38116: The select module is now PEP-384 compliant and no longer has static state

  • bpo-36946: Fix possible signed integer overflow when handling slices. Patch by hongweipeng.

  • bpo-37994: Fixed silencing arbitrary errors if an attribute lookup fails in several sites. Only AttributeError should be silenced.

  • bpo-8425: Optimize set difference_update for the case when the other set is much larger than the base set. (Suggested by Evgeny Kapun with code contributed by Michele Orrù).

  • bpo-37966: The implementation of is_normalized() has been greatly sped up on strings that aren't normalized, by implementing the full normalization-quick-check algorithm from the Unicode standard.

  • bpo-37947: Adjust correctly the recursion level in the symtable generation for named expressions. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-37812: The CHECK_SMALL_INT macro used inside Object/longobject.c has been replaced with an explicit return at each call site.

  • bpo-37751: Fix codecs.lookup() to normalize the encoding name the same way than encodings.normalize_encoding(), except that codecs.lookup() also converts the name to lower case.

  • bpo-37830: Fixed compilation of break and continue in the finally block when the corresponding try block contains return with a non-constant value.

  • bpo-20490: Improve import error message for partially initialized module on circular from imports - by Anthony Sottile.

  • bpo-37840: Fix handling of negative indices in sq_item of bytearray. Patch by Sergey Fedoseev.

  • bpo-37802: Slightly improve performance of PyLong_FromUnsignedLong(), PyLong_FromUnsignedLongLong() and PyLong_FromSize_t(). Patch by Sergey Fedoseev.

  • bpo-37409: Ensure explicit relative imports from interactive sessions and scripts (having no parent package) always raise ImportError, rather than treating the current module as the package. Patch by Ben Lewis.

  • bpo-32912: Reverted bpo-32912: emitting SyntaxWarning instead of DeprecationWarning for invalid escape sequences in string and bytes literals.

  • bpo-37757: PEP 572: As described in the PEP, assignment expressions now raise SyntaxError when their interaction with comprehension scoping results in an ambiguous target scope.

    The TargetScopeError subclass originally proposed by the PEP has been removed in favour of just raising regular syntax errors for the disallowed cases.

  • bpo-36279: Fix potential use of uninitialized memory in os.wait3().

  • bpo-36311: Decoding bytes objects larger than 2GiB is faster and no longer fails when a multibyte characters spans a chunk boundary.

  • bpo-34880: The assert statement now works properly if the AssertionError exception is being shadowed. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

  • bpo-37340: Removed object cache (free_list) for bound method objects. Temporary bound method objects are less used than before thanks to the LOAD_METHOD opcode and the _PyObject_VectorcallMethod C API.

  • bpo-37648: Fixed minor inconsistency in list.__contains__(), tuple.__contains__() and a few other places. The collection's item is now always at the left and the needle is on the right of ==.

  • bpo-37444: Update differing exception between builtins.__import__() and importlib.__import__().

  • bpo-37619: When adding a wrapper descriptor from one class to a different class (for example, setting __add__ = str.__add__ on an int subclass), an exception is correctly raised when the operator is called.

  • bpo-37593: Swap the positions of the posonlyargs and args parameters in the constructor of ast.parameters nodes.

  • bpo-37543: Optimized pymalloc for non PGO build.

  • bpo-37537: Compute allocated pymalloc blocks inside _Py_GetAllocatedBlocks(). This slows down _Py_GetAllocatedBlocks() but gives a small speedup to _PyObject_Malloc() and _PyObject_Free().

  • bpo-37467: Fix sys.excepthook() and PyErr_Display() if a filename is a bytes string. For example, for a SyntaxError exception where the filename attribute is a bytes string.

  • bpo-37433: Fix SyntaxError indicator printing too many spaces for multi-line strings - by Anthony Sottile.

  • bpo-37417: bytearray.extend() now correctly handles errors that arise during iteration. Patch by Brandt Bucher.

  • bpo-37414: The undocumented sys.callstats() function has been removed. Since Python 3.7, it was deprecated and always returned None. It required a special build option CALL_PROFILE which was already removed in Python 3.7.

  • bpo-37392: Remove sys.getcheckinterval() and sys.setcheckinterval() functions. They were deprecated since Python 3.2. Use sys.getswitchinterval() and sys.setswitchinterval() instead. Remove also check_interval field of the PyInterpreterState structure.

  • bpo-37388: In development mode and in debug build, encoding and errors arguments are now checked on string encoding and decoding operations. Examples: open(), str.encode() and bytes.decode().

    By default, for best performances, the errors argument is only checked at the first encoding/decoding error, and the encoding argument is sometimes ignored for empty strings.

  • bpo-37348: Optimized decoding short ASCII string with UTF-8 and ascii codecs. b"foo".decode() is about 15% faster. Patch by Inada Naoki.

  • bpo-24214: Improved support of the surrogatepass error handler in the UTF-8 and UTF-16 incremental decoders.

  • bpo-37330: open(), io.open(), codecs.open() and fileinput.FileInput no longer accept 'U' ("universal newline") in the file mode. This flag was deprecated since Python 3.3.

  • bpo-35224: Reverse evaluation order of key: value in dict comprehensions as proposed in PEP 572. I.e. in {k: v for ...}, k will be evaluated before v.

  • bpo-37316: Fix the PySys_Audit() call in mmap.mmap.

  • bpo-37300: Remove an unnecssary Py_XINCREF in classobject.c.

  • bpo-37269: Fix a bug in the peephole optimizer that was not treating correctly constant conditions with binary operators. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-20443: Python now gets the absolute path of the script filename specified on the command line (ex: "python3 script.py"): the __file__ attribute of the __main__ module and sys.path[0] become an absolute path, rather than a relative path.

  • bpo-37257: Python's small object allocator (obmalloc.c) now allows (no more than) one empty arena to remain available for immediate reuse, without returning it to the OS. This prevents thrashing in simple loops where an arena could be created and destroyed anew on each iteration.

  • bpo-37231: The dispatching of type slots to special methods (for example calling __mul__ when doing x * y) has been made faster.

  • bpo-36974: Implemented separate vectorcall functions for every calling convention of builtin functions and methods. This improves performance for calls.

  • bpo-37213: Handle correctly negative line offsets in the peephole optimizer. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-37219: Remove erroneous optimization for empty set differences.

  • bpo-15913: Implement PyBuffer_SizeFromFormat() function (previously documented but not implemented): call struct.calcsize(). Patch by Joannah Nanjekye.

  • bpo-36922: Slot functions optimize any callable with Py_TPFLAGS_METHOD_DESCRIPTOR instead of only instances of function.

  • bpo-36974: The slot tp_vectorcall_offset is inherited unconditionally to support super().__call__() when the base class uses vectorcall.

  • bpo-37160: threading.get_native_id() now also supports NetBSD.

  • bpo-37077: Add threading.get_native_id() support for AIX. Patch by M. Felt

  • bpo-36781: sum() has been optimized for boolean values.

  • bpo-34556: Add --upgrade-deps to venv module. Patch by Cooper Ry Lees

  • bpo-20523: pdb.Pdb supports ~/.pdbrc in Windows 7. Patch by Tim Hopper and Dan Lidral-Porter.

  • bpo-35551: Updated encodings: - Removed the "tis260" encoding, which was an alias for the nonexistent "tactis" codec. - Added "mac_centeuro" as an alias for the mac_latin2 encoding.

  • bpo-19072: The classmethod decorator can now wrap other descriptors such as property objects. Adapted from a patch written by Graham Dumpleton.

  • bpo-27575: Improve speed of dictview intersection by directly using set intersection logic. Patch by David Su.

  • bpo-30773: Prohibit parallel running of aclose() / asend() / athrow(). Fix ag_running to reflect the actual running status of the AG.

  • bpo-36589: The curses.update_lines_cols() function now returns None instead of 1 on success.

  • bpo-38807: Update TypeError messages for os.path.join() to include os.PathLike objects as acceptable input types.

  • bpo-38724: Add a repr for subprocess.Popen objects. Patch by Andrey Doroschenko.

  • bpo-38786: pydoc now recognizes and parses HTTPS URLs. Patch by python273.

  • bpo-38785: Prevent asyncio from crashing if parent __init__ is not called from a constructor of object derived from asyncio.Future.

  • bpo-38723: pdb now uses io.open_code() to trigger auditing events.

  • bpo-27805: Allow opening pipes and other non-seekable files in append mode with open().

  • bpo-38438: Simplify the argparse usage message for nargs="*".

  • bpo-38761: WeakSet is now registered as a collections.abc.MutableSet.

  • bpo-38716: logging: change RotatingHandler namer and rotator to class-level attributes. This stops __init__ from setting them to None in the case where a subclass defines them with eponymous methods.

  • bpo-38713: Add os.P_PIDFD constant, which may be passed to os.waitid() to wait on a Linux process file descriptor.

  • bpo-38692: Add asyncio.PidfdChildWatcher, a Linux-specific child watcher implementation that polls process file descriptors.

  • bpo-38692: Expose the Linux pidfd_open syscall as os.pidfd_open().

  • bpo-38602: Added constants F_OFD_GETLK, F_OFD_SETLK and F_OFD_SETLKW to the fcntl module. Patch by Dong-hee Na.

  • bpo-38334: 修复了在加密的 zipfile.ZipExtFile 上向后搜索的问题。

  • bpo-38312: Add curses.get_escdelay(), curses.set_escdelay(), curses.get_tabsize(), and curses.set_tabsize() functions - by Anthony Sottile.

  • bpo-38521: Fixed erroneous equality comparison in statistics.NormalDist().

  • bpo-38493: Added CLD_KILLED and CLD_STOPPED for si_code. Patch by Dong-hee Na.

  • bpo-38478: Fixed a bug in inspect.signature.bind() that was causing it to fail when handling a keyword argument with same name as positional-only parameter. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-33604: Fixed hmac.new and hmac.HMAC to raise TypeError instead of ValueError when the digestmod parameter, now required in 3.8, is omitted. Also clarified the hmac module documentation and docstrings.

  • bpo-38378: Parameters out and in of os.sendfile() was renamed to out_fd and in_fd.

  • bpo-38417: Added support for setting the umask in the child process to the subprocess module on POSIX systems.

  • bpo-38449: Revert GH-15522, which introduces a regression in mimetypes.guess_type() due to improper handling of filenames as urls.

  • bpo-38405: Nested subclasses of typing.NamedTuple are now pickleable.

  • bpo-38332: Prevent KeyError thrown by _encoded_words.decode() when given an encoded-word with invalid content-type encoding from propagating all the way to email.message.get().

  • bpo-38371: Deprecated the split() method in _tkinter.TkappType in favour of the splitlist() method which has more consistent and predicable behavior.

  • bpo-38341: Add smtplib.SMTPNotSupportedError to the smtplib exported names.

  • bpo-38319: 修复 套接字 和 shutil 模块中使用的sendfile() 在 32-bit 架构上会产生 OverflowError for files >= 2GiB . (补丁由Giampaolo Rodola提供)

  • bpo-38242: 回滚新的 asyncio Streams API

  • bpo-13153: OS native encoding is now used for converting between Python strings and Tcl objects. This allows to display, copy and paste to clipboard emoji and other non-BMP characters. Converting strings from Tcl to Python and back now never fails (except MemoryError).

  • bpo-38019: Correctly handle pause/resume reading of closed asyncio unix pipe.

  • bpo-38163: Child mocks will now detect their type as either synchronous or asynchronous, asynchronous child mocks will be AsyncMocks and synchronous child mocks will be either MagicMock or Mock (depending on their parent type).

  • bpo-38161: Removes _AwaitEvent from AsyncMock.

  • bpo-38216: Allow the rare code that wants to send invalid http requests from the http.client library a way to do so. The fixes for bpo-30458 led to breakage for some projects that were relying on this ability to test their own behavior in the face of bad requests.

  • bpo-28286: Deprecate opening GzipFile for writing implicitly. Always specify the mode argument for writing.

  • bpo-38108: Any synchronous magic methods on an AsyncMock now return a MagicMock. Any asynchronous magic methods on a MagicMock now return an AsyncMock.

  • bpo-38112: compileall has a higher default recursion limit and new command-line arguments for path manipulation, symlinks handling, and multiple optimization levels.

  • bpo-38248: asyncio: Fix inconsistent immediate Task cancellation

  • bpo-38237: The arguments for the builtin pow function are more descriptive. They can now also be passed in as keywords.

  • bpo-34002: Improve efficiency in parts of email package by changing while-pop to a for loop, using isdisjoint instead of set intersections.

  • bpo-38191: Constructors of NamedTuple and TypedDict types now accept arbitrary keyword argument names, including "cls", "self", "typename", "_typename", "fields" and "_fields".

  • bpo-38155: Add __all__ to datetime. Patch by Tahia Khan.

  • bpo-38185: Fixed case-insensitive string comparison in sqlite3.Row indexing.

  • bpo-38136: Changes AsyncMock call count and await count to be two different counters. Now await count only counts when a coroutine has been awaited, not when it has been called, and vice-versa. Update the documentation around this.

  • bpo-37828: Fix default mock name in unittest.mock.Mock.assert_called() exceptions. Patch by Abraham Toriz Cruz.

  • bpo-38175: Fix a memory leak in comparison of sqlite3.Row objects.

  • bpo-34706: Preserve subclassing in inspect.Signature.from_callable.

  • bpo-38153: Names of hashing algorithms frome OpenSSL are now normalized to follow Python's naming conventions. For example OpenSSL uses sha3-512 instead of sha3_512 or blake2b512 instead of blake2b.

  • bpo-38115: Fix a bug in dis.findlinestarts() where it would return invalid bytecode offsets. Document that a code object's co_lnotab can contain invalid bytecode offsets.

  • bpo-38148: Add slots to asyncio transport classes, which can reduce memory usage.

  • bpo-38142: The _hashlib OpenSSL wrapper extension module is now PEP-384 compliant.

  • bpo-36991: Fixes a potential incorrect AttributeError exception escaping ZipFile.extract() in some unsupported input error situations.

  • bpo-38134: Remove obsolete copy of PBKDF2_HMAC_fast. All supported OpenSSL versions contain a fast implementation.

  • bpo-38132: The OpenSSL hashlib wrapper uses a simpler implementation. Several Macros and pointless caches are gone. The hash name now comes from OpenSSL's EVP. The algorithm name stays the same, except it is now always lower case.

  • bpo-38008: Fix parent class check in protocols to correctly identify the module that provides a builtin protocol, instead of assuming they all come from the collections.abc module

  • bpo-34037: For asyncio, add a new coroutine loop.shutdown_default_executor(). The new coroutine provides an API to schedule an executor shutdown that waits on the threadpool to finish closing. Also, asyncio.run() has been updated to utilize the new coroutine. Patch by Kyle Stanley.

  • bpo-37405: Fixed regression bug for socket.getsockname() for non-CAN_ISOTP AF_CAN address family sockets by returning a 1-tuple instead of string.

  • bpo-37863: Optimizations for Fraction.__hash__ suggested by Tim Peters.

  • bpo-21131: Fix faulthandler.register(chain=True) stack. faulthandler now allocates a dedicated stack of SIGSTKSZ*2 bytes, instead of just SIGSTKSZ bytes. Calling the previous signal handler in faulthandler signal handler uses more than SIGSTKSZ bytes of stack memory on some platforms.

  • bpo-37424: Fixes a possible hang when using a timeout on subprocess.run() while capturing output. If the child process spawned its own children or otherwise connected its stdout or stderr handles with another process, we could hang after the timeout was reached and our child was killed when attempting to read final output from the pipes.

  • bpo-37421: Fix multiprocessing.util.get_temp_dir() finalizer: clear also the 'tempdir' configuration of the current process, so next call to get_temp_dir() will create a new temporary directory, rather than reusing the removed temporary directory.

  • bpo-37481: The distutils bdist_wininst command is deprecated in Python 3.8, use bdist_wheel (wheel packages) instead.

  • bpo-37479: When Enum.__str__ is overridden in a derived class, the override will be used by Enum.__format__ regardless of whether mixin classes are present.

  • bpo-37347: sqlite3.Connection.create_aggregate(), sqlite3.Connection.create_function(), sqlite3.Connection.set_authorizer(), sqlite3.Connection.set_progress_handler() sqlite3.Connection.set_trace_callback() methods lead to segfaults if some of these methods are called twice with an equal object but not the same. Now callbacks are stored more carefully. Patch by Aleksandr Balezin.

  • bpo-37163: The obj argument of dataclasses.replace() is positional-only now.

  • bpo-37085: Add the optional Linux SocketCAN Broadcast Manager constants, used as flags to configure the BCM behaviour, in the socket module. Patch by Karl Ding.

  • bpo-37210: Allow pure Python implementation of pickle to work even when the C _pickle module is unavailable.

  • bpo-21872: Fix lzma: module decompresses data incompletely. When decompressing a FORMAT_ALONE format file, and it doesn't have the end marker, sometimes the last one to dozens bytes can't be output. Patch by Ma Lin.

  • bpo-35922: Fix RobotFileParser.crawl_delay() and RobotFileParser.request_rate() to return None rather than raise AttributeError when no relevant rule is defined in the robots.txt file. Patch by Rémi Lapeyre.

  • bpo-35998: Fix a race condition in test_asyncio.test_start_tls_server_1(). Previously, there was a race condition between the test main() function which replaces the protocol and the test ServerProto protocol which sends ANSWER once it gets HELLO. Now, only the test main() function is responsible to send data, ServerProto no longer sends data.

  • bpo-38470: Fix test_compileall.test_compile_dir_maxlevels() on Windows without long path support: only create 3 subdirectories instead of between 20 and 100 subdirectories.

  • bpo-37531: On timeout, regrtest no longer attempts to call popen.communicate() again: it can hang until all child processes using stdout and stderr pipes completes. Kill the worker process and ignores its output. Change also the faulthandler timeout of the main process from 1 minute to 5 minutes, for Python slowest buildbots.

  • bpo-38239: Fix test_gdb for Link Time Optimization (LTO) builds.

  • bpo-38275: test_ssl now handles disabled TLS/SSL versions better. OpenSSL's crypto policy and run-time settings are recognized and tests for disabled versions are skipped. Tests also accept more TLS minimum_versions for platforms that override OpenSSL's default with strict settings.

  • bpo-38271: The private keys for test_ssl were encrypted with 3DES in traditional PKCS#5 format. 3DES and the digest algorithm of PKCS#5 are blocked by some strict crypto policies. Use PKCS#8 format with AES256 encryption instead.

  • bpo-38270: test.support now has a helper function to check for availibility of a hash digest function. Several tests are refactored avoid MD5 and use SHA256 instead. Other tests are marked to use MD5 and skipped when MD5 is disabled.

  • bpo-37123: Multiprocessing test test_mymanager() now also expects -SIGTERM, not only exitcode 0. BaseManager._finalize_manager() sends SIGTERM to the manager process if it takes longer than 1 second to stop, which happens on slow buildbots.

  • bpo-38212: Multiprocessing tests: increase test_queue_feeder_donot_stop_onexc() timeout from 1 to 60 seconds.

  • bpo-38117: 使用OpenSSL 1.1.1d进行测试

  • bpo-38018: Increase code coverage for multiprocessing.shared_memory.

  • bpo-37805: Add tests for json.dump(..., skipkeys=True). Patch by Dong-hee Na.

  • bpo-37531: Enhance regrtest multiprocess timeout: write a message when killing a worker process, catch popen.kill() and popen.wait() exceptions, put a timeout on the second call to popen.communicate().

  • bpo-37876: Add tests for ROT-13 codec.

  • bpo-36833: Added tests for PyDateTime_xxx_GET_xxx() macros of the C API of the datetime module. Patch by Joannah Nanjekye.

  • bpo-37558: Fix test_shared_memory_cleaned_after_process_termination name handling

  • bpo-37526: Add test.support.catch_threading_exception(): context manager catching threading.Thread exception using threading.excepthook().

  • bpo-37421: test_concurrent_futures now explicitly stops the ForkServer instance if it's running.

  • bpo-37421: multiprocessing tests now stop the ForkServer instance if it's running: close the "alive" file descriptor to ask the server to stop and then remove its UNIX address.

  • bpo-37421: test_distutils.test_build_ext() is now able to remove the temporary directory on Windows: don't import the newly built C extension ("xx") in the current process, but test it in a separated process.

  • bpo-37421: test_concurrent_futures now cleans up multiprocessing to remove immediately temporary directories created by multiprocessing.util.get_temp_dir().

  • bpo-37421: test_winconsoleio doesn't leak a temporary file anymore: use tempfile.TemporaryFile() to remove it when the test completes.

  • bpo-37421: multiprocessing tests now explicitly call _run_finalizers() to immediately remove temporary directories created by tests.

  • bpo-37421: urllib.request tests now call urlcleanup() to remove temporary files created by urlretrieve() tests and to clear the _opener global variable set by urlopen() and functions calling indirectly urlopen().

  • bpo-37472: Remove Lib/test/outstanding_bugs.py.

  • bpo-37199: Fix test failures when IPv6 is unavailable or disabled.

  • bpo-19696: Replace deprecated method "random.choose" with "random.choice" in "test_pkg_import.py".

  • bpo-37335: Remove no longer necessary code from c locale coercion tests

  • bpo-37421: Fix test_shutil to no longer leak temporary files.

  • bpo-37411: Fix test_wsgiref.testEnviron() to no longer depend on the environment variables (don't fail if "X" variable is set).

  • bpo-37400: Fix test_os.test_chown(): use os.getgroups() rather than grp.getgrall() to get groups. Rename also the test to test_chown_gid().

  • bpo-37359: Add --cleanup option to python3 -m test to remove test_python_* directories of previous failed jobs. Add "make cleantest" to run python3 -m test --cleanup.

  • bpo-37362: test_gdb no longer fails if it gets an "unexpected" message on stderr: it now ignores stderr. The purpose of test_gdb is to test that python-gdb.py commands work as expected, not to test gdb.

  • bpo-35998: Avoid TimeoutError in test_asyncio: test_start_tls_server_1()

  • bpo-37278: Fix test_asyncio ProactorLoopCtrlC: join the thread to prevent leaking a running thread and leaking a reference.

  • bpo-37261: Fix test.support.catch_unraisable_exception(): its __exit__() method now ignores unraisable exception raised when clearing its unraisable attribute.

  • bpo-37069: regrtest now uses sys.unraisablehook() to mark a test as "environment altered" (ENV_CHANGED) if it emits an "unraisable exception". Moreover, regrtest logs a warning in this case.

    Use python3 -m test --fail-env-changed to catch unraisable exceptions in tests.

  • bpo-37252: Fix assertions in test_close and test_events_mask_overflow devpoll tests.

  • bpo-37169: Rewrite _PyObject_IsFreed() unit tests.

  • bpo-37153: test_venv.test_multiprocessing() now explicitly calls pool.terminate() to wait until the pool completes.

  • bpo-34001: Make test_ssl pass with LibreSSL. LibreSSL handles minimum and maximum TLS version differently than OpenSSL.

  • bpo-36919: Make test_source_encoding.test_issue2301 implementation independent. The test will work now for both CPython and IronPython.

  • bpo-30202: Update test.test_importlib.test_abc to test find_spec().

  • bpo-28009: Modify the test_uuid logic to test when a program is available AND can be used to obtain a MACADDR as basis for an UUID. Patch by M. Felt

  • bpo-34596: Fallback to a default reason when unittest.skip() is uncalled. Patch by Naitree Zhu.

构建

  • bpo-38809: On Windows, build scripts will now recognize and use python.exe from an active virtual env.

  • bpo-38684: Fix _hashlib build when Blake2 is disabled, but OpenSSL supports it.

  • bpo-38468: Misc/python-config.in now uses getvar() for all still existing sysconfig.get_config_var() calls. Patch by Joannah Nanjekye.

  • bpo-37415: Fix stdatomic.h header check for ICC compiler: the ICC implementation lacks atomic_uintptr_t type which is needed by Python.

  • bpo-38301: In Solaris family, we must be sure to use -D_REENTRANT. Patch by Jesús Cea Avión.

  • bpo-36002: Locate llvm-profdata and llvm-ar binaries using AC_PATH_TOOL rather than AC_PATH_TARGET_TOOL.

  • bpo-37936: The .gitignore file systematically keeps "rooted", with a non-trailing slash, all the rules that are meant to apply to files in a specific place in the repo. Previously, when the intended file to ignore happened to be at the root of the repo, we'd most often accidentally also ignore files and directories with the same name anywhere in the tree.

  • bpo-37760: The Tools/unicode/makeunicodedata.py script, which is used for converting information from the Unicode Character Database into generated code and data used by the methods of str and by the unicodedata module, now handles each character's data as a dataclass with named attributes, rather than a length-18 list of different fields.

  • bpo-37936: The .gitignore file no longer applies to any files that are in fact tracked in the Git repository. Patch by Greg Price.

  • bpo-37725: Change "clean" makefile target to also clean the program guided optimization (PGO) data. Previously you would have to use "make clean" and "make profile-removal", or "make clobber".

  • bpo-37707: Mark some individual tests to skip when --pgo is used. The tests marked increase the PGO task time significantly and likely don't help improve optimization of the final executable.

  • bpo-36044: Reduce the number of unit tests run for the PGO generation task. This speeds up the task by a factor of about 15x. Running the full unit test suite is slow. This change may result in a slightly less optimized build since not as many code branches will be executed. If you are willing to wait for the much slower build, the old behavior can be restored using './configure [..] PROFILE_TASK="-m test --pgo-extended"'. We make no guarantees as to which PGO task set produces a faster build. Users who care should run their own relevant benchmarks as results can depend on the environment, workload, and compiler tool chain.

  • bpo-37468: make install no longer installs wininst-*.exe files used by distutils bdist_wininst: bdist_wininst only works on Windows.

  • bpo-37189: Many PyRun_XXX() functions like PyRun_String() were no longer exported in libpython38.dll by mistake. Export them again to fix the ABI compatibility.

  • bpo-25361: Enables use of SSE2 instructions in Windows 32-bit build.

  • bpo-36210: Update optional extension module detection for AIX. ossaudiodev and spwd are not applicable for AIX, and are no longer reported as missing. 3rd-party packaging of ncurses (with ASIS support) conflicts with officially supported AIX curses library, so configure AIX to use libcurses.a. However, skip trying to build _curses_panel.

    patch by M Felt

Windows

  • bpo-38030: Fixes os.stat() failing for block devices on Windows

  • bpo-38020: Fixes potential crash when calling os.readlink() (or indirectly through realpath()) on a file that is not a supported link.

  • bpo-37705: Improve the implementation of winerror_to_errno().

  • bpo-37549: os.dup() no longer fails for standard streams on Windows 7.

  • bpo-9949: Enable support for following symlinks in os.realpath().

  • bpo-37834: Treat all name surrogate reparse points on Windows in os.lstat() and other reparse points as regular files in os.stat().

  • bpo-36266: Add the module name in the formatted error message when DLL load fail happens during module import in _PyImport_FindSharedFuncptrWindows(). Patch by Srinivas Nyayapati.

  • bpo-25172: Trying to import the crypt module on Windows will result in an ImportError with a message explaining that the module isn't supported on Windows. On other platforms, if the underlying _crypt module is not available, the ImportError will include a message explaining the problem.

  • bpo-37778: Fixes the icons used for file associations to the Microsoft Store package.

  • bpo-37734: Fix use of registry values to launch Python from Microsoft Store app.

  • bpo-37702: Fix memory leak on Windows in creating an SSLContext object or running urllib.request.urlopen('https://...').

  • bpo-10945: 正式取消对在非Windows系统上创建 bdist_wininst 安装程序的支持。

  • bpo-37445: Include the FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS flag in FormatMessageW() calls.

  • bpo-37369: Fixes path for sys.executable when running from the Microsoft Store.

  • bpo-37380: Don't collect unfinished processes with subprocess._active on Windows to cleanup later. Patch by Ruslan Kuprieiev.

  • bpo-37351: Removes libpython38.a from standard Windows distribution.

  • bpo-35360: 更新 Windows 构建以使用 SQLite 3.28.0.

  • bpo-37267: On Windows, os.dup() no longer creates an inheritable fd when handling a character file.

  • bpo-36779: Ensure time.tzname is correct on Windows when the active code page is set to CP_UTF7 or CP_UTF8.

  • bpo-32587: Make winreg.REG_MULTI_SZ support zero-length strings.

  • bpo-28269: Replace use of strcasecmp() for the system function _stricmp(). Patch by Minmin Gong.

  • bpo-36590: Add native Bluetooth RFCOMM support to socket module.

macOS

  • bpo-38117: 在MacOS安装程序中将OpenSSL更新为1.1.1d。

  • bpo-38089: Move Azure Pipelines to latest VM versions and make macOS tests optional

  • bpo-18049: Increase the default stack size of threads from 5MB to 16MB on macOS, to match the stack size of the main thread. This avoids crashes on deep recursion in threads.

  • bpo-34602: Avoid test suite failures on macOS by no longer calling resource.setrlimit to increase the process stack size limit at runtime. The runtime change is no longer needed since the interpreter is being built with a larger default stack size.

  • bpo-35360: 更新macOS安装程序以使用SQLite 3.28.0.

  • bpo-34631: 在MacOS安装程序中将OpenSSL更新为1.1.1c。

IDLE

  • bpo-26353: Stop adding newline when saving an IDLE shell window.

  • bpo-4630: Add an option to toggle IDLE's cursor blink for shell, editor, and output windows. See Settings, General, Window Preferences, Cursor Blink. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

  • bpo-38598: Do not try to compile IDLE shell or output windows

  • bpo-36698: IDLE no longer fails when write non-encodable characters to stderr. It now escapes them with a backslash, as the regular Python interpreter. Added the errors field to the standard streams.

  • bpo-35379: When exiting IDLE, catch any AttributeError. One happens when EditorWindow.close is called twice. Printing a traceback, when IDLE is run from a terminal, is useless and annoying.

  • bpo-38183: To avoid problems, test_idle ignores the user config directory. It no longer tries to create or access .idlerc or any files within. Users must run IDLE to discover problems with saving settings.

  • bpo-38077: IDLE no longer adds 'argv' to the user namespace when initializing it. This bug only affected 3.7.4 and 3.8.0b2 to 3.8.0b4.

  • bpo-38041: Shell restart lines now fill the window width, always start with '=', and avoid wrapping unnecessarily. The line will still wrap if the included file name is long relative to the width.

  • bpo-35771: To avoid occasional spurious test_idle failures on slower machines, increase the hover_delay in test_tooltip.

  • bpo-37824: Properly handle user input warnings in IDLE shell. Cease turning SyntaxWarnings into SyntaxErrors.

  • bpo-37929: IDLE Settings dialog now closes properly when there is no shell window.

  • bpo-37902: Add mousewheel scrolling for IDLE module, path, and stack browsers. Patch by George Zhang.

  • bpo-37849: Fixed completions list appearing too high or low when shown above the current line.

  • bpo-36419: Refactor IDLE autocomplete and improve testing.

  • bpo-37748: Reorder the Run menu. Put the most common choice, Run Module, at the top.

  • bpo-37692: Improve highlight config sample with example shell interaction and better labels for shell elements.

  • bpo-37628: Settings dialog no longer expands with font size.

  • bpo-37627: Initialize the Customize Run dialog with the command line arguments most recently entered before. The user can optionally edit before submitting them.

  • bpo-33610: Fix code context not showing the correct context when first toggled on.

  • bpo-37530: Optimize code context to reduce unneeded background activity. Font and highlight changes now occur along with text changes instead of after a random delay.

  • bpo-27452: Cleanup config.py by inlining RemoveFile and simplifying the handling of file in CreateConfigHandlers.

  • bpo-37325: Fix tab focus traversal order for help source and custom run dialogs.

  • bpo-37321: Both subprocess connection error messages now refer to the 'Startup failure' section of the IDLE doc.

  • bpo-17535: Add optional line numbers for IDLE editor windows. Windows open without line numbers unless set otherwise in the General tab of the configuration dialog.

  • bpo-26806: To compensate for stack frames added by IDLE and avoid possible problems with low recursion limits, add 30 to limits in the user code execution process. Subtract 30 when reporting recursion limits to make this addition mostly transparent.

  • bpo-37177: Properly 'attach' search dialogs to their main window so that they behave like other dialogs and do not get hidden behind their main window.

  • bpo-37039: Adjust "Zoom Height" to individual screens by momentarily maximizing the window on first use with a particular screen. Changing screen settings may invalidate the saved height. While a window is maximized, "Zoom Height" has no effect.

  • bpo-35763: Make calltip reminder about '/' meaning positional-only less obtrusive by only adding it when there is room on the first line.

  • bpo-5680: Add 'Run... Customized' to the Run menu to run a module with customized settings. Any 'command line arguments' entered are added to sys.argv. One can suppress the normal Shell main module restart.

  • bpo-36390: Gather Format menu functions into format.py. Combine paragraph.py, rstrip.py, and format methods from editor.py.

工具/示例

  • bpo-38118: Update Valgrind suppression file to ignore a false alarm in PyUnicode_Decode() when using GCC builtin strcmp().

  • bpo-38347: pathfix.py: Assume all files that end on '.py' are Python scripts when working recursively.

  • bpo-37803: pdb's --help and --version long options now work.

  • bpo-37942: Improve ArgumentClinic converter for floats.

  • bpo-37704: Remove Tools/scripts/h2py.py: use cffi to access a C API in Python.

  • bpo-37675: 2to3 now works when run from a zipped standard library.

  • bpo-37034: Argument Clinic now uses the argument name on errors with keyword-only argument instead of their position. Patch contributed by Rémi Lapeyre.

  • bpo-37064: Add option -k to pathscript.py script: preserve shebang flags. Add option -a to pathscript.py script: add flags.

C API

  • bpo-37633: Re-export some function compatibility wrappers for macros in pythonrun.h.

  • bpo-38644: Provide Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() as regular functions for the limited API. Previously, there were defined as macros, but these macros didn't work with the limited API which cannot access PyThreadState.recursion_depth field. Remove _Py_CheckRecursionLimit from the stable ABI.

  • bpo-38650: The global variable PyStructSequence_UnnamedField is now a constant and refers to a constant string.

  • bpo-38540: Fixed possible leak in PyArg_Parse() and similar functions for format units "es#" and "et#" when the macro PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN is not defined.

  • bpo-38395: Fix a crash in weakref.proxy objects due to incorrect lifetime management when calling some associated methods that may delete the last reference to object being referenced by the proxy. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-36389: The _PyObject_CheckConsistency() function is now also available in release mode. For example, it can be used to debug a crash in the visit_decref() function of the GC.

  • bpo-38266: Revert the removal of PyThreadState_DeleteCurrent() with documentation.

  • bpo-38303: Update audioop extension module to use the stable ABI (PEP-384). Patch by Tyler Kieft.

  • bpo-38234: Py_SetPath() now sets sys.executable to the program full path (Py_GetProgramFullPath()) rather than to the program name (Py_GetProgramName()).

  • bpo-38234: Python ignored arguments passed to Py_SetPath(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_SetProgramName(): fix Python initialization to use specified arguments.

  • bpo-38205: The Py_UNREACHABLE() macro now calls Py_FatalError().

  • bpo-38140: Make dict and weakref offsets opaque for C heap types by passing the offsets through PyMemberDef

  • bpo-15088: The C function PyGen_NeedsFinalizing has been removed. It was not documented, tested or used anywhere within CPython after the implementation of PEP 442. Patch by Joannah Nanjekye. (Patch by Joannah Nanjekye)

  • bpo-36763: Options added by PySys_AddXOption() are now handled the same way than PyConfig.xoptions and command line -X options.

  • bpo-37926: Fix a crash in PySys_SetArgvEx(0, NULL, 0).

  • bpo-37879: Fix subtype_dealloc to suppress the type decref when the base type is a C heap type

  • bpo-37645: Add _PyObject_FunctionStr() to get a user-friendly string representation of a function-like object. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.

  • bpo-29548: The functions PyEval_CallObject, PyEval_CallFunction, PyEval_CallMethod and PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords are deprecated. Use PyObject_Call() and its variants instead.

  • bpo-37151: PyCFunction_Call is now a deprecated alias of PyObject_Call().

  • bpo-37540: The vectorcall protocol now requires that the caller passes only strings as keyword names.

  • bpo-37207: The vectorcall protocol is now enabled for type objects: set tp_vectorcall to a vectorcall function to be used instead of tp_new and tp_init when calling the class itself.

  • bpo-21120: Exclude Python-ast.h, ast.h and asdl.h from the limited API.

  • bpo-37483: Add new function _PyObject_CallOneArg for calling an object with one positional argument.

  • bpo-36763: Add PyConfig_SetWideStringList() function.

  • bpo-37337: Add fast functions for calling methods: _PyObject_VectorcallMethod(), _PyObject_CallMethodNoArgs() and _PyObject_CallMethodOneArg().

  • bpo-28805: The METH_FASTCALL calling convention has been documented.

  • bpo-37221: The new function PyCode_NewWithPosOnlyArgs() allows to create code objects like PyCode_New(), but with an extra posonlyargcount parameter for indicating the number of positonal-only arguments.

  • bpo-37215: Fix dtrace issue introduce by bpo-36842

  • bpo-37194: Add a new public PyObject_CallNoArgs() function to the C API: call a callable Python object without any arguments. It is the most efficient way to call a callback without any argument. On x86-64, for example, PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL) allocates 960 bytes on the stack per call, whereas PyObject_CallNoArgs(func) only allocates 624 bytes per call.

  • bpo-37170: Fix the cast on error in PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLongMask().

  • bpo-35381: Convert posixmodule.c statically allocated types DirEntryType and ScandirIteratorType to heap-allocated types.

  • bpo-34331: Use singular/plural noun in error message when instantiating an abstract class with non-overriden abstract method(s).

Python 3.8.0 beta 1

发布日期: 2019-06-04

安全

  • bpo-35907: CVE-2019-9948: Avoid file reading by disallowing local-file:// and local_file:// URL schemes in URLopener().open() and URLopener().retrieve() of urllib.request.

  • bpo-33529: Prevent fold function used in email header encoding from entering infinite loop when there are too many non-ASCII characters in a header.

  • bpo-33164: Updated blake2 implementation which uses secure memset implementation provided by platform.

核心与内置

  • bpo-35814: Allow unpacking in the right hand side of annotated assignments. In particular, t: Tuple[int, ...] = x, y, *z is now allowed.

  • bpo-37126: All structseq objects are now tracked by the garbage collector. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-37122: Make the co_argcount attribute of code objects represent the total number of positional arguments (including positional-only arguments). The value of co_posonlyargcount can be used to distinguish which arguments are positional only, and the difference (co_argcount - co_posonlyargcount) is the number of positional-or-keyword arguments. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-20092: Constructors of int, float and complex will now use the __index__() special method, if available and the corresponding method __int__(), __float__() or __complex__() is not available.

  • bpo-37087: Add native thread ID (TID) support to OpenBSD.

  • bpo-26219: Implemented per opcode cache mechanism and LOAD_GLOBAL instruction use it. LOAD_GLOBAL is now about 40% faster. Contributed by Yury Selivanov, and Inada Naoki.

  • bpo-37072: Fix crash in PyAST_FromNodeObject() when flags is NULL.

  • bpo-37029: Freeing a great many small objects could take time quadratic in the number of arenas, due to using linear search to keep obmalloc.c's list of usable arenas sorted by order of number of free memory pools. This is accomplished without search now, leaving the worst-case time linear in the number of arenas. For programs where this quite visibly matters (typically with more than 100 thousand small objects alive simultaneously), this can greatly reduce the time needed to release their memory.

  • bpo-26423: Fix possible overflow in wrap_lenfunc() when sizeof(long) < sizeof(Py_ssize_t) (e.g., 64-bit Windows).

  • bpo-37050: Improve the AST for "debug" f-strings, which use '=' to print out the source of the expression being evaluated. Delete expr_text from the FormattedValue node, and instead use a Constant string node (possibly merged with adjacent constant expressions inside the f-string).

  • bpo-22385: The bytes.hex, bytearray.hex, and memoryview.hex methods as well as the binascii.hexlify and b2a_hex functions now have the ability to include an optional separator between hex bytes. This functionality was inspired by MicroPython's hexlify implementation.

  • bpo-26836: Add os.memfd_create().

  • bpo-37032: Added new replace() method to the code type (types.CodeType).

  • bpo-37007: Implement socket.if_nameindex(), socket.if_nametoindex(), and socket.if_indextoname() on Windows.

  • bpo-36829: PyErr_WriteUnraisable() now creates a traceback object if there is no current traceback. Moreover, call PyErr_NormalizeException() and PyException_SetTraceback() to normalize the exception value. Ignore any error.

  • bpo-36878: Only accept text after # type: ignore if the first character is ASCII. This is to disallow things like # type: ignoreé.

  • bpo-36878: Store text appearing after a # type: ignore comment in the AST. For example a type ignore like # type: ignore[E1000] will have the string "[E1000]" stored in its AST node.

  • bpo-2180: Treat line continuation at EOF as a SyntaxError by Anthony Sottile.

  • bpo-36907: Fix a crash when calling a C function with a keyword dict (f(**kwargs)) and changing the dict kwargs while that function is running.

  • bpo-36946: Fix possible signed integer overflow when handling slices.

  • bpo-36826: Add NamedExpression kind support to ast_unparse.c

  • bpo-1875: A SyntaxError is now raised if a code blocks that will be optimized away (e.g. if conditions that are always false) contains syntax errors. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-36027: Allow computation of modular inverses via three-argument pow: the second argument is now permitted to be negative in the case where the first and third arguments are relatively prime.

  • bpo-36861: Update the Unicode database to version 12.1.0.

  • bpo-28866: Avoid caching attributes of classes which type defines mro() to avoid a hard cache invalidation problem.

  • bpo-36851: The FrameType stack is now correctly cleaned up if the execution ends with a return and the stack is not empty.

  • bpo-34616: The compile() builtin functions now support the ast.PyCF_ALLOW_TOP_LEVEL_AWAIT flag, which allow to compile sources that contains top-level await, async with or async for. This is useful to evaluate async-code from with an already async functions; for example in a custom REPL.

  • bpo-36842: Implement PEP 578, adding sys.audit, io.open_code and related APIs.

  • bpo-27639: Correct return type for UserList slicing operations. Patch by Michael Blahay, Erick Cervantes, and vaultah

  • bpo-36737: Move PyRuntimeState.warnings into per-interpreter state (via "module state").

  • bpo-36793: Removed __str__ implementations from builtin types bool, int, float, complex and few classes from the standard library. They now inherit __str__() from object.

  • bpo-36817: Add a = feature f-strings for debugging. This can precede !s, !r, or !a. It produces the text of the expression, followed by an equal sign, followed by the repr of the value of the expression. So f'{3*9+15=}' would be equal to the string '3*9+15=42'. If = is specified, the default conversion is set to !r, unless a format spec is given, in which case the formatting behavior is unchanged, and __format__ will be used.

  • bpo-24048: Save the live exception during import.c's remove_module().

  • bpo-27987: pymalloc returns memory blocks aligned by 16 bytes, instead of 8 bytes, on 64-bit platforms to conform x86-64 ABI. Recent compilers assume this alignment more often. Patch by Inada Naoki.

  • bpo-36601: A long-since-meaningless check for getpid() == main_pid was removed from Python's internal C signal handler.

  • bpo-35983: Added new trashcan macros to deal with a double deallocation that could occur when the tp_dealloc of a subclass calls the tp_dealloc of a base class and that base class uses the trashcan mechanism. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.

  • bpo-20602: Do not clear sys.flags and sys.float_info during shutdown. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

  • bpo-26826: Expose copy_file_range() as a low level API in the os module.

  • bpo-35279: Change default max_workers of ThreadPoolExecutor from cpu_count() * 5 to min(32, cpu_count() + 4)). Previous value was unreasonably large on many cores machines.

  • bpo-37076: _thread.start_new_thread() now logs uncaught exception raised by the function using sys.unraisablehook(), rather than sys.excepthook(), so the hook gets access to the function which raised the exception.

  • bpo-33725: On macOS, the multiprocessing module now uses spawn start method by default.

  • bpo-37054: Fix destructor _pyio.BytesIO and _pyio.TextIOWrapper: initialize their _buffer attribute as soon as possible (in the class body), because it's used by __del__() which calls close().

  • bpo-37058: PEP 544: Add Protocol and @runtime_checkable to the typing module.

  • bpo-36933: The functions sys.set_coroutine_wrapper and sys.get_coroutine_wrapper that were deprecated and marked for removal in 3.8 have been removed.

  • bpo-37045: PEP 591: Add Final qualifier and @final decorator to the typing module.

  • bpo-37035: Don't log OSError based exceptions if a fatal error has occurred in asyncio transport. Peer can generate almost any OSError, user cannot avoid these exceptions by fixing own code. Errors are still propagated to user code, it's just logging them is pointless and pollute asyncio logs.

  • bpo-37001: symtable.symtable() now accepts the same input types for source code as the built-in compile() function. Patch by Dino Viehland.

  • bpo-37028: Implement asyncio REPL

  • bpo-37027: Return safe to use proxy socket object from transport.get_extra_info('socket')

  • bpo-32528: Make asyncio.CancelledError a BaseException.

    This will address the common mistake many asyncio users make: an "except Exception" clause breaking Tasks cancellation.

    In addition to this change, we stop inheriting asyncio.TimeoutError and asyncio.InvalidStateError from their concurrent.futures.* counterparts. There's no point for these exceptions to share the inheritance chain.

  • bpo-1230540: Add a new threading.excepthook() function which handles uncaught threading.Thread.run() exception. It can be overridden to control how uncaught threading.Thread.run() exceptions are handled.

  • bpo-36952: fileinput.input() and fileinput.FileInput bufsize argument has been removed (was deprecated and ignored since Python 3.6), and as a result the mode and openhook arguments have been made keyword-only.

  • bpo-36952: Starting with Python 3.3, importing ABCs from collections is deprecated, and import should be done from collections.abc. Still being able to import from collections was marked for removal in 3.8, but has been delayed to 3.9; documentation and DeprecationWarning clarified.

  • bpo-36949: Implement __repr__ for WeakSet objects.

  • bpo-36948: Fix NameError in urllib.request.URLopener.retrieve(). Patch by Karthikeyan Singaravelan.

  • bpo-33524: Fix the folding of email header when the max_line_length is 0 or None and the header contains non-ascii characters. Contributed by Licht Takeuchi (@Licht-T).

  • bpo-24564: shutil.copystat() now ignores errno.EINVAL on os.setxattr() which may occur when copying files on filesystems without extended attributes support.

  • bpo-36916: Remove a message about an unhandled exception in a task when writer.write() is used without await and writer.drain() fails with an exception.

  • bpo-36889: Introduce asyncio.Stream class that merges asyncio.StreamReader and asyncio.StreamWriter functionality. asyncio.Stream can work in readonly, writeonly and readwrite modes. Provide asyncio.connect(), asyncio.connect_unix(), asyncio.connect_read_pipe() and asyncio.connect_write_pipe() factories to open asyncio.Stream connections. Provide asyncio.StreamServer and UnixStreamServer to serve servers with asyncio.Stream API. Modify asyncio.create_subprocess_shell() and asyncio.create_subprocess_exec() to use asyncio.Stream instead of deprecated StreamReader and StreamWriter. Deprecate asyncio.StreamReader and asyncio.StreamWriter. Deprecate usage of private classes, e.g. asyncio.FlowControlMixing and asyncio.StreamReaderProtocol outside of asyncio package.

  • bpo-34632: Introduce the importlib.metadata module with (provisional) support for reading metadata from third-party packages.

  • bpo-36878: When using type_comments=True in ast.parse, treat # type: ignore followed by a non-alphanumeric character and then arbitrary text as a type ignore, instead of requiring nothing but whitespace or another comment. This is to permit formations such as # type: ignore[E1000].

  • bpo-36778: cp65001 encoding (Windows code page 65001) becomes an alias to utf_8 encoding.

  • bpo-36867: The multiprocessing.resource_tracker replaces the multiprocessing.semaphore_tracker module. Other than semaphores, resource_tracker also tracks shared_memory segments.

  • bpo-30262: The Cache and Statement objects of the sqlite3 module are not exposed to the user. Patch by Aviv Palivoda.

  • bpo-24538: In shutil.copystat(), first copy extended file attributes and then file permissions, since extended attributes can only be set on the destination while it is still writeable.

  • bpo-36829: Add new sys.unraisablehook() function which can be overridden to control how "unraisable exceptions" are handled. It is called when an exception has occurred but there is no way for Python to handle it. For example, when a destructor raises an exception or during garbage collection (gc.collect()).

  • bpo-36832: Introducing zipfile.Path, a pathlib-compatible wrapper for traversing zip files.

  • bpo-36814: Fix an issue where os.posix_spawnp() would incorrectly raise a TypeError when file_actions is None.

  • bpo-36542: The signature of Python functions can now be overridden by specifying the __text_signature__ attribute.

  • bpo-36533: Reinitialize logging.Handler locks in forked child processes instead of attempting to acquire them all in the parent before forking only to be released in the child process. The acquire/release pattern was leading to deadlocks in code that has implemented any form of chained logging handlers that depend upon one another as the lock acquisition order cannot be guaranteed.

  • bpo-35252: Throw a TypeError instead of an AssertionError when using an invalid type annotation with singledispatch.

  • bpo-35900: Allow reduction methods to return a 6-item tuple where the 6th item specifies a custom state-setting method that's called instead of the regular __setstate__ method.

  • bpo-22454: The shlex module now exposes shlex.join(), the inverse of shlex.split(). Patch by Bo Bayles.

  • bpo-31922: asyncio.AbstractEventLoop.create_datagram_endpoint(): Do not connect UDP socket when broadcast is allowed. This allows to receive replies after a UDP broadcast.

  • bpo-24882: Change ThreadPoolExecutor to use existing idle threads before spinning up new ones.

  • bpo-31961: Added support for bytes and path-like objects in subprocess.Popen() on Windows.

  • bpo-20285: Expand object.__doc__ (docstring) to make it clearer. Modify pydoc.py so that help(object) lists object methods (for other classes, help omits methods of the object base class.)

测试

  • bpo-37069: Modify test_coroutines, test_cprofile, test_generators, test_raise, test_ssl and test_yield_from to use test.support.catch_unraisable_exception() rather than test.support.captured_stderr().

  • bpo-37098: Fix test_memfd_create on older Linux Kernels.

  • bpo-37081: 使用OpenSSL 1.1.1c进行测试

  • bpo-36829: Add test.support.catch_unraisable_exception(): context manager catching unraisable exception using sys.unraisablehook().

  • bpo-36915: The main regrtest process now always removes all temporary directories of worker processes even if they crash or if they are killed on KeyboardInterrupt (CTRL+c).

  • bpo-36719: "python3 -m test -jN ..." now continues the execution of next tests when a worker process crash (CHILD_ERROR state). Previously, the test suite stopped immediately. Use --failfast to stop at the first error.

  • bpo-36816: Update Lib/test/selfsigned_pythontestdotnet.pem to match self-signed.pythontest.net's new TLS certificate.

  • bpo-35925: Skip httplib and nntplib networking tests when they would otherwise fail due to a modern OS or distro with a default OpenSSL policy of rejecting connections to servers with weak certificates.

  • bpo-36782: Add tests for several C API functions in the datetime module. Patch by Edison Abahurire.

  • bpo-36342: Fix test_multiprocessing in test_venv if platform lacks functioning sem_open.

构建

  • bpo-36721: To embed Python into an application, a new --embed option must be passed to python3-config --libs --embed to get -lpython3.8 (link the application to libpython). To support both 3.8 and older, try python3-config --libs --embed first and fallback to python3-config --libs (without --embed) if the previous command fails.

    增加一个 pkg-config python-3.8-embed 模块用来将 Python 嵌入到一个应用中: pkg-config python-3.8-embed --libs 包含 -lpython3.8。 要同时支持 3.8 和旧版本,请先尝试 pkg-config python-X.Y-embed --libs 并在此命令失败时回退到 pkg-config python-X.Y --libs (即不带 --embed) (请将 X.Y 替换为 Python 版本号)。

    On the other hand, pkg-config python3.8 --libs no longer contains -lpython3.8. C extensions must not be linked to libpython (except on Android, case handled by the script); this change is backward incompatible on purpose.

  • bpo-36786: "make install" now runs compileall in parallel.

Windows

IDLE

  • bpo-35610: Replace now redundant .context_use_ps1 with .prompt_last_line. This finishes change started in bpo-31858.

  • bpo-37038: Make idlelib.run runnable; add test clause.

  • bpo-36958: Print any argument other than None or int passed to SystemExit or sys.exit().

  • bpo-36807: When saving a file, call os.fsync() so bits are flushed to e.g. USB drive.

  • bpo-32411: In browser.py, remove extraneous sorting by line number since dictionary was created in line number order.

工具/示例

  • bpo-37053: Handle strings like u"bar" correctly in Tools/parser/unparse.py. Patch by Chih-Hsuan Yen.

C API

  • bpo-36379: Fix crashes when attempting to use the modulo parameter when __ipow__ is implemented in C.

  • bpo-37107: Update PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs() and _PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs to use _PyObject_GetMethod to avoid creating a bound method object in many cases. Patch by Michael J. Sullivan.

  • bpo-36974: Implement PEP 590: Vectorcall: a fast calling protocol for CPython. This is a new protocol to optimize calls of custom callable objects.

  • bpo-36763: Py_Main() now returns the exitcode rather than calling Py_Exit(exitcode) when calling PyErr_Print() if the current exception type is SystemExit.

  • bpo-36922: Add new type flag Py_TPFLAGS_METHOD_DESCRIPTOR for objects behaving like unbound methods. These are objects supporting the optimization given by the LOAD_METHOD/CALL_METHOD opcodes. See PEP 590.

  • bpo-36728: The PyEval_ReInitThreads() function has been removed from the C API. It should not be called explicitly: use PyOS_AfterFork_Child() instead.

Python 3.8.0 alpha 4

发布日期: 2019-05-06

安全

  • bpo-36742: 于函数 urlsplit() 中修复了对于预规格化字符的不当处理过程。

  • bpo-30458: Address CVE-2019-9740 by disallowing URL paths with embedded whitespace or control characters through into the underlying http client request. Such potentially malicious header injection URLs now cause an http.client.InvalidURL exception to be raised.

  • bpo-35755: shutil.which() now uses os.confstr("CS_PATH") if available and if the PATH environment variable is not set. Remove also the current directory from posixpath.defpath. On Unix, shutil.which() and the subprocess module no longer search the executable in the current directory if the PATH environment variable is not set.

核心与内置

  • bpo-36722: In debug build, import now also looks for C extensions compiled in release mode and for C extensions compiled in the stable ABI.

  • bpo-32849: Fix Python Initialization code on FreeBSD to detect properly when stdin file descriptor (fd 0) is invalid.

  • bpo-36623: Remove parser headers and related function declarations that lack implementations after the removal of pgen.

  • bpo-36611: Debug memory allocators: disable serialno field by default from debug hooks on Python memory allocators to reduce the memory footprint by 5%. Enable tracemalloc to get the traceback where a memory block has been allocated when a fatal memory error is logged to decide where to put a breakpoint. Compile Python with PYMEM_DEBUG_SERIALNO defined to get back the field.

  • bpo-36588: On AIX, sys.platform doesn't contain the major version anymore. Always return 'aix', instead of 'aix3' .. 'aix7'. Since older Python versions include the version number, it is recommended to always use sys.platform.startswith('aix'). Contributed by M. Felt.

  • bpo-28238: The .find*() methods of xml.etree.ElementTree can now search for wildcards like {*}tag and {ns}* that match a tag in any namespace or all tags in a namespace. Patch by Stefan Behnel.

  • bpo-26978: pathlib.path.link_to() is now implemented. It creates a hard link pointing to a path.

  • bpo-1613500: fileinput.FileInput now uses the input file mode to correctly set the output file mode (previously it was hardcoded to 'w') when inplace=True is passed to its constructor.

  • bpo-36734: Fix compilation of faulthandler.c on HP-UX. Initialize stack_t current_stack to zero using memset().

  • bpo-36673: The TreeBuilder and XMLPullParser in xml.etree.ElementTree gained support for parsing comments and processing instructions. Patch by Stefan Behnel.

  • bpo-36650: The C version of functools.lru_cache() was treating calls with an empty **kwargs dictionary as being distinct from calls with no keywords at all. This did not result in an incorrect answer, but it did trigger an unexpected cache miss.

  • bpo-28552: Fix distutils.sysconfig if sys.executable is None or an empty string: use os.getcwd() to initialize project_base. Fix also the distutils build command: don't use sys.executable if it is None or an empty string.

  • bpo-35755: shutil.which() and distutils.spawn.find_executable() now use os.confstr("CS_PATH") if available instead of os.defpath, if the PATH environment variable is not set. Moreover, don't use os.confstr("CS_PATH") nor os.defpath if the PATH environment variable is set to an empty string.

  • bpo-25430: improve performance of IPNetwork.__contains__()

  • bpo-30485: Path expressions in xml.etree.ElementTree can now avoid explicit namespace prefixes for tags (or the "{namespace}tag" notation) by passing a default namespace with an empty string prefix.

  • bpo-36598: Fix isinstance check for Mock objects with spec when the code is executed under tracing. Patch by Karthikeyan Singaravelan.

  • bpo-18748: In development mode (-X dev) and in debug build, the io.IOBase destructor now logs close() exceptions. These exceptions are silent by default in release mode.

  • bpo-36575: The _lsprof module now uses internal timer same to time.perf_counter() by default. gettimeofday(2) was used on Unix. New timer has better resolution on most Unix platforms and timings are no longer impacted by system clock updates since perf_counter() is monotonic. Patch by Inada Naoki.

  • bpo-33461: json.loads now emits DeprecationWarning when encoding option is specified. Patch by Matthias Bussonnier.

  • bpo-36559: The random module now prefers the lean internal _sha512 module over hashlib for seed(version=2) to optimize import time.

  • bpo-36492: Deprecated passing required arguments like func as keyword arguments in functions which should accept arbitrary keyword arguments and pass them to other function. Arbitrary keyword arguments (even with names "self" and "func") can now be passed to these functions if the required arguments are passed as positional arguments.

  • bpo-27181: Add statistics.geometric_mean().

  • bpo-30427: os.path.normcase() relies on os.fspath() to check the type of its argument. Redundant checks have been removed from its posixpath.normcase() and ntpath.normcase() implementations. Patch by Wolfgang Maier.

  • bpo-36385: Stop rejecting IPv4 octets for being ambiguously octal. Leading zeros are ignored, and no longer are assumed to specify octal octets. Octets are always decimal numbers. Octets must still be no more than three digits, including leading zeroes.

  • bpo-36434: Errors during writing to a ZIP file no longer prevent to properly close it.

  • bpo-31904: Add time module support and fix test_time faiures for VxWorks.

  • bpo-36227: Added support for keyword arguments default_namespace and xml_declaration in functions ElementTree.tostring() and ElementTree.tostringlist().

  • bpo-36004: Added new alternate constructors datetime.date.fromisocalendar() and datetime.datetime.fromisocalendar(), which construct date objects from ISO year, week number and weekday; these are the inverse of each class's isocalendar method. Patch by Paul Ganssle.

  • bpo-35936: modulefinder no longer depends on the deprecated imp module, and the initializer for modulefinder.ModuleFinder now has immutable default arguments. Patch by Brandt Bucher.

  • bpo-35376: modulefinder correctly handles modules that have the same name as a bad package. Patch by Brandt Bucher.

  • bpo-17396: modulefinder no longer crashes when encountering syntax errors in followed imports. Patch by Brandt Bucher.

  • bpo-36157: Added Documention for PyInterpreterState_Main().

  • bpo-33043: Updates the docs.python.org page with the addition of a 'Contributing to Docs' link at the end of the page (between 'Reporting Bugs' and 'About Documentation'). Updates the 'Found a Bug' page with additional links and information in the Documentation Bugs section.

  • bpo-35581: @typing.type_check_only now allows type stubs to mark functions and classes not available during runtime.

  • bpo-33832: Add glossary entry for 'magic method'.

  • bpo-32913: Added re.Match.groupdict example to regex HOWTO.

测试

  • bpo-36719: regrtest now always detects uncollectable objects. Previously, the check was only enabled by --findleaks. The check now also works with -jN/--multiprocess N. --findleaks becomes a deprecated alias to --fail-env-changed.

  • bpo-36725: When using multiprocessing mode (-jN), regrtest now better reports errors if a worker process fails, and it exits immediately on a worker thread failure or when interrupted.

  • bpo-36454: Change test_time.test_monotonic() to test only the lower bound of elapsed time after a sleep command rather than the upper bound. This prevents unnecessary test failures on slow buildbots. Patch by Victor Stinner.

  • bpo-32424: Improve test coverage for xml.etree.ElementTree. Patch by Gordon P. Hemsley.

  • bpo-32424: Fix typo in test_cyclic_gc() test for xml.etree.ElementTree. Patch by Gordon P. Hemsley.

  • bpo-36635: Add a new _testinternalcapi module to test the internal C API.

  • bpo-36629: Fix test_imap4_host_default_value() of test_imaplib: catch also errno.ENETUNREACH error.

  • bpo-36611: Fix test_sys.test_getallocatedblocks() when tracemalloc is enabled.

  • bpo-36560: Fix reference leak hunting in regrtest: compute also deltas (of reference count, allocated memory blocks, file descriptor count) during warmup, to ensure that everything is initialized before starting to hunt reference leaks.

  • bpo-36565: Fix reference hunting (python3 -m test -R 3:3) when Python has no built-in abc module.

  • bpo-31904: Port test_resource to VxWorks: skip tests cases setting RLIMIT_FSIZE and RLIMIT_CPU.

  • bpo-31904: Fix test_tabnanny on VxWorks: adjust ENOENT error message.

  • bpo-36436: Fix _testcapi.pymem_buffer_overflow(): handle memory allocation failure.

  • bpo-31904: Fix test_utf8_mode on VxWorks: Python always use UTF-8 on VxWorks.

  • bpo-36341: Fix tests that may fail with PermissionError upon calling bind() on AF_UNIX sockets.

构建

  • bpo-36747: Remove the stale scriptsinstall Makefile target.

  • bpo-21536: On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython except on Android and Cygwin.

    通过共享库的 Python 构建的 C 扩展现在可以被静态链接的 Python 加载了。

    When Python is embedded, libpython must not be loaded with RTLD_LOCAL, but RTLD_GLOBAL instead. Previously, using RTLD_LOCAL, it was already not possible to load C extensions which were not linked to libpython, such as C extensions of the standard library built by the *shared* section of Modules/Setup.

    distutils,python-config 和 python-config.py 已被修改。

  • bpo-36707: ./configure --with-pymalloc no longer adds the m flag to SOABI (sys.implementation.cache_tag). Enabling or disabling pymalloc has no impact on the ABI.

  • bpo-36635: Change PyAPI_FUNC(type), PyAPI_DATA(type) and PyMODINIT_FUNC macros of pyport.h when Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE is defined. The Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define must be now be used to build a C extension as a dynamic library accessing Python internals: export the PyInit_xxx() function in DLL exports on Windows.

  • bpo-31904: Don't build the _crypt extension on VxWorks.

  • bpo-36618: Add -fmax-type-align=8 to CFLAGS when clang compiler is detected. The pymalloc memory allocator aligns memory on 8 bytes. On x86-64, clang expects alignment on 16 bytes by default and so uses MOVAPS instruction which can lead to segmentation fault. Instruct clang that Python is limited to alignment on 8 bytes to use MOVUPS instruction instead: slower but don't trigger a SIGSEGV if the memory is not aligned on 16 bytes. Sadly, the flag must be added to CFLAGS and not just CFLAGS_NODIST, since third party C extensions can have the same issue.

  • bpo-36605: make tags and make TAGS now also parse Modules/_io/*.c and Modules/_io/*.h.

  • bpo-36465: Release builds and debug builds are now ABI compatible: defining the Py_DEBUG macro no longer implies the Py_TRACE_REFS macro, which introduces the only ABI incompatibility. The Py_TRACE_REFS macro, which adds the sys.getobjects() function and the PYTHONDUMPREFS environment variable, can be set using the new ./configure --with-trace-refs build option.

  • bpo-36577: setup.py now correctly reports missing OpenSSL headers and libraries again.

  • bpo-36544: Fix regression introduced in bpo-36146 refactoring setup.py

  • bpo-36508: python-config --ldflags no longer includes flags of the LINKFORSHARED variable. The LINKFORSHARED variable must only be used to build executables.

  • bpo-36503: Remove references to "aix3" and "aix4". Patch by M. Felt.

Windows

  • bpo-35920: Added platform.win32_edition() and platform.win32_is_iot(). Added support for cross-compiling packages for Windows ARM32. Skip tests that are not expected to work on Windows IoT Core ARM32.

  • bpo-36649: Remove trailing spaces for registry keys when installed via the Store.

  • bpo-34144: Fixed activate.bat to correctly update codepage when chcp.com returns dots in output. Patch by Lorenz Mende.

  • bpo-36509: Added preset-iot layout for Windows IoT ARM containers. This layout doesn't contain UI components like tkinter or IDLE. It also doesn't contain files to support on-target builds since Windows ARM32 builds must be cross-compiled when using MSVC.

  • bpo-35941: enum_certificates function of the ssl module now returns certificates from all available certificate stores inside windows in a query instead of returning only certificates from the system wide certificate store. This includes certificates from these certificate stores: local machine, local machine enterprise, local machine group policy, current user, current user group policy, services, users. ssl.enum_crls() function is changed in the same way to return all certificate revocation lists inside the windows certificate revocation list stores.

  • bpo-36441: Fixes creating a venv when debug binaries are installed.

  • bpo-36085: Enable better DLL resolution on Windows by using safe DLL search paths and adding os.add_dll_directory().

  • bpo-36010: Add the venv standard library module to the nuget distribution for Windows.

  • bpo-29515: Add the following socket module constants on Windows: IPPROTO_AH IPPROTO_CBT IPPROTO_DSTOPTS IPPROTO_EGP IPPROTO_ESP IPPROTO_FRAGMENT IPPROTO_GGP IPPROTO_HOPOPTS IPPROTO_ICLFXBM IPPROTO_ICMPV6 IPPROTO_IDP IPPROTO_IGMP IPPROTO_IGP IPPROTO_IPV4 IPPROTO_IPV6 IPPROTO_L2TP IPPROTO_MAX IPPROTO_ND IPPROTO_NONE IPPROTO_PGM IPPROTO_PIM IPPROTO_PUP IPPROTO_RDP IPPROTO_ROUTING IPPROTO_SCTP IPPROTO_ST

  • bpo-35947: Added current version of libffi to cpython-source-deps. Change _ctypes to use current version of libffi on Windows.

  • bpo-34060: Report system load when running test suite on Windows. Patch by Ammar Askar. Based on prior work by Jeremy Kloth.

  • bpo-31512: With the Windows 10 Creators Update, non-elevated users can now create symlinks as long as the computer has Developer Mode enabled.

macOS

  • bpo-34602: Avoid failures setting macOS stack resource limit with resource.setrlimit. This reverts an earlier fix for bpo-18075 which forced a non-default stack size when building the interpreter executable on macOS.

IDLE

  • bpo-36429: Fix starting IDLE with pyshell. Add idlelib.pyshell alias at top; remove pyshell alias at bottom. Remove obsolete __name__=='__main__' command.

工具/示例

  • bpo-14546: Fix the argument handling in Tools/scripts/lll.py.

C API

  • bpo-36763: Fix memory leak in Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding(): release memory if the function is called twice.

  • bpo-36641: PyDoc_VAR(name) and PyDoc_STRVAR(name,str) now create static const char name[] instead of static char name[]. Patch by Inada Naoki.

  • bpo-36389: Change the value of CLEANBYTE, DEADDYTE and FORBIDDENBYTE internal constants used by debug hooks on Python memory allocators (PyMem_SetupDebugHooks() function). Byte patterns 0xCB, 0xDB and 0xFB have been replaced with 0xCD, 0xDD and 0xFD to use the same values than Windows CRT debug malloc() and free().

  • bpo-36443: Since Python 3.7.0, calling Py_DecodeLocale() before Py_Initialize() produces mojibake if the LC_CTYPE locale is coerced and/or if the UTF-8 Mode is enabled by the user configuration. The LC_CTYPE coercion and UTF-8 Mode are now disabled by default to fix the mojibake issue. They must now be enabled explicitly (opt-in) using the new _Py_PreInitialize() API with _PyPreConfig.

  • bpo-36025: Fixed an accidental change to the datetime C API where the arguments to the PyDate_FromTimestamp() function were incorrectly interpreted as a single timestamp rather than an arguments tuple, which causes existing code to start raising TypeError. The backwards-incompatible change was only present in alpha releases of Python 3.8. Patch by Paul Ganssle.

  • bpo-35810: Modify PyObject_Init to correctly increase the refcount of heap- allocated Type objects. Also fix the refcounts of the heap-allocated types that were either doing this manually or not decreasing the type's refcount in tp_dealloc

Python 3.8.0 alpha 3

发布日期: 2019-03-25

安全

  • bpo-36216: Changes urlsplit() to raise ValueError when the URL contains characters that decompose under IDNA encoding (NFKC-normalization) into characters that affect how the URL is parsed.

  • bpo-35121: Don't send cookies of domain A without Domain attribute to domain B when domain A is a suffix match of domain B while using a cookiejar with http.cookiejar.DefaultCookiePolicy policy. Patch by Karthikeyan Singaravelan.

  • bpo-36282: Improved error message for too much positional arguments in some builtin functions.

  • bpo-30040: New empty dict uses fewer memory for now. It used more memory than empty dict created by dict.clear(). And empty dict creation and deletion is about 2x faster. Patch by Inada Naoki.

  • bpo-36262: 修复了在 float(str), complex(str), pickle.load(), marshal.load() 等所用的函数 _Py_dg_strtod() 中进行从字符串到浮点数的转换时偶有发生的一个内存泄漏问题。

  • bpo-36188: Cleaned up left-over vestiges of Python 2 unbound method handling in method objects and documentation. Patch by Martijn Pieters

  • bpo-36124: Add a new interpreter-specific dict and expose it in the C-API via PyInterpreterState_GetDict(). This parallels PyThreadState_GetDict(). However, extension modules should continue using PyModule_GetState() for their own internal per-interpreter state.

  • bpo-35975: Add a feature_version flag to ast.parse() (documented) and compile() (hidden) that allows tweaking the parser to support older versions of the grammar. In particular, if feature_version is 5 or 6, the hacks for the async and await keyword from PEP 492 are reinstated. (For 7 or higher, these are unconditionally treated as keywords, but they are still special tokens rather than NAME tokens that the parser driver recognizes.)

  • bpo-31904: Use UTF-8 as the system encoding on VxWorks.

  • bpo-36048: The __index__() special method will be used instead of __int__() for implicit conversion of Python numbers to C integers. Using the __int__() method in implicit conversions has been deprecated.

  • bpo-35808: Retire pgen and use a modified version of pgen2 to generate the parser. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-36401: The class documentation created by pydoc now has a separate section for readonly properties.

  • bpo-36320: The typing.NamedTuple() class has deprecated the _field_types attribute in favor of the __annotations__ attribute which carried the same information. Also, both attributes were converted from OrderedDict to a regular dict.

  • bpo-34745: Fix asyncio ssl memory issues caused by circular references

  • bpo-36324: Add method to statistics.NormalDist for computing the inverse cumulative normal distribution.

  • bpo-36321: collections.namedtuple() misspelled the name of an attribute. To be consistent with typing.NamedTuple, the attribute name should have been "_field_defaults" instead of "_fields_defaults". For backwards compatibility, both spellings are now created. The misspelled version may be removed in the future.

  • bpo-36297: "unicode_internal" codec is removed. It was deprecated since Python 3.3. Patch by Inada Naoki.

  • bpo-36298: Raise ModuleNotFoundError in pyclbr when a module can't be found. Thanks to 'mental' for the bug report.

  • bpo-36268: Switch the default format used for writing tars with mod:tarfile to the modern POSIX.1-2001 pax standard, from the vendor-specific GNU. Contributed by C.A.M. Gerlach.

  • bpo-36272: logging does not silently ignore RecursionError anymore. Patch contributed by Rémi Lapeyre.

  • bpo-36280: Add a kind field to ast.Constant. It is 'u' if the literal has a 'u' prefix (i.e. a Python 2 style unicode literal), else None.

  • bpo-35931: The pdb debug command now gracefully handles all exceptions.

  • bpo-36251: Fix format strings used for stderrprinter and re.Match reprs. Patch by Stephan Hohe.

  • bpo-35807: Update ensurepip to install pip 19.0.3 and setuptools 40.8.0.

  • bpo-36139: Release GIL when closing mmap objects.

  • bpo-36179: Fix two unlikely reference leaks in _hashopenssl. The leaks only occur in out-of-memory cases.

  • bpo-36169: Add overlap() method to statistics.NormalDist. Computes the overlapping coefficient for two normal distributions.

  • bpo-36103: Default buffer size used by shutil.copyfileobj() is changed from 16 KiB to 64 KiB on non-Windows platform to reduce system call overhead. Contributed by Inada Naoki.

  • bpo-36130: Fix pdb with skip=... when stepping into a frame without a __name__ global. Patch by Anthony Sottile.

  • bpo-35652: shutil.copytree(copy_function=...) erroneously pass DirEntry instead of a path string.

  • bpo-35178: Ensure custom warnings.formatwarning() function can receive line as positional argument. Based on patch by Tashrif Billah.

核心与内置

  • bpo-36052: Raise a SyntaxError when assigning a value to __debug__ with the Assignment Operator. Contributed by Stéphane Wirtel and Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-36012: Doubled the speed of class variable writes. When a non-dunder attribute was updated, there was an unnecessary call to update slots.

  • bpo-35942: The error message emitted when returning invalid types from __fspath__ in interfaces that allow passing PathLike objects has been improved and now it does explain the origin of the error.

  • bpo-36016: gc.get_objects can now receive an optional parameter indicating a generation to get objects from. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-1054041: When the main interpreter exits due to an uncaught KeyboardInterrupt, the process now exits in the appropriate manner for its parent process to detect that a SIGINT or ^C terminated the process. This allows shells and batch scripts to understand that the user has asked them to stop.

  • bpo-35992: Fix __class_getitem__() not being called on a class with a custom non-subscriptable metaclass.

  • bpo-35993: Fix a crash on fork when using subinterpreters. Contributed by Stéphane Wirtel

  • bpo-35911: Enable the creation of cell objects by adding a cell.__new__ method, and expose the type cell in Lib/types.py under the name CellType. Patch by Pierre Glaser.

  • bpo-12822: Use monotonic clock for pthread_cond_timedwait when pthread_condattr_setclock and CLOCK_MONOTONIC are available.

  • bpo-15248: The compiler emits now syntax warnings in the case when a comma is likely missed before tuple or list.

  • bpo-35886: The implementation of PyInterpreterState has been moved into the internal header files (guarded by Py_BUILD_CORE).

  • bpo-31506: Clarify the errors reported when object.__new__ and object.__init__ receive more than one argument. Contributed by Sanyam Khurana.

  • bpo-35724: Signal-handling is now guaranteed to happen relative to the main interpreter.

  • bpo-33608: We added a new internal _Py_AddPendingCall() that operates relative to the provided interpreter. This allows us to use the existing implementation to ask another interpreter to do work that cannot be done in the current interpreter, like decref an object the other interpreter owns. The existing Py_AddPendingCall() only operates relative to the main interpreter.

  • bpo-33989: Fix a possible crash in list.sort() when sorting objects with ob_type->tp_richcompare == NULL. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

  • bpo-35512: unittest.mock.patch.dict() used as a decorator with string target resolves the target during function call instead of during decorator construction. Patch by Karthikeyan Singaravelan.

  • bpo-36018: Add statistics.NormalDist, a tool for creating and manipulating normal distributions of random variable. Features a composite class that treats the mean and standard deviation of measurement data as single entity.

  • bpo-35904: Added statistics.fmean() as a faster, floating point variant of the existing mean() function.

  • bpo-35931: The pdb debug command now gracefully handles syntax errors.

  • bpo-24209: In http.server script, rely on getaddrinfo to bind to preferred address based on the bind parameter. Now default bind or binding to a name may bind to IPv6 or dual-stack, depending on the environment.

  • bpo-35321: Set __spec__.origin of _frozen_importlib to frozen so that it matches the behavior of _frozen_importlib_external. Patch by Nina Zakharenko.

  • bpo-35378: Fix a reference issue inside multiprocessing.Pool that caused the pool to remain alive if it was deleted without being closed or terminated explicitly. A new strong reference is added to the pool iterators to link the lifetime of the pool to the lifetime of its iterators so the pool does not get destroyed if a pool iterator is still alive.

  • bpo-34294: re module, fix wrong capturing groups in rare cases. re.search(), re.findall(), re.sub() and other functions that scan through string looking for a match, should reset capturing groups between two match attempts. Patch by Ma Lin.

  • bpo-35606: Implement math.prod() as analogous function to sum() that returns the product of a 'start' value (default: 1) times an iterable of numbers. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

  • bpo-32417: Performing arithmetic between datetime.datetime subclasses and datetime.timedelta now returns an object of the same type as the datetime.datetime subclass. As a result, datetime.datetime.astimezone() and alternate constructors like datetime.datetime.now() and datetime.fromtimestamp() called with a tz argument now also retain their subclass.

  • bpo-35153: Add headers optional keyword-only parameter to xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy, xmlrpc.client.Transport and xmlrpc.client.SafeTransport. Patch by Cédric Krier.

  • bpo-34572: Fix C implementation of pickle.loads to use importlib's locking mechanisms, and thereby avoid using partially-loaded modules. Patch by Tim Burgess.

  • bpo-35436: Fix various issues with memory allocation error handling. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

  • bpo-35423: Separate the signal handling trigger in the eval loop from the "pending calls" machinery. There is no semantic change and the difference in performance is insignificant.

  • bpo-35357: Internal attributes' names of unittest.mock._Call and unittest.mock.MagicProxy (name, parent & from_kall) are now prefixed with _mock_ in order to prevent clashes with widely used object attributes. Fixed minor typo in test function name.

  • bpo-35372: Fixed the code page decoder for input longer than 2 GiB containing undecodable bytes.

  • bpo-35336: Fix PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=1 environment variable: only coerce the C locale if the LC_CTYPE locale is "C".

  • bpo-31241: The lineno and col_offset attributes of AST nodes for list comprehensions, generator expressions and tuples are now point to the opening parenthesis or square brace. For tuples without parenthesis they point to the position of the first item.

  • bpo-33954: For str.format(), float.__format__() and complex.__format__() methods for non-ASCII decimal point when using the "n" formatter.

  • bpo-35269: Fix a possible segfault involving a newly-created coroutine. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

  • bpo-34973: Fixed crash in bytes() when the list argument is mutated while it is iterated.

  • bpo-34876: The lineno and col_offset attributes of the AST for decorated function and class refer now to the position of the corresponding def, async def and class instead of the position of the first decorator. This leads to more correct line reporting in tracing. This is the only case when the position of child AST nodes can precede the position of the parent AST node.

  • bpo-34879: Fix a possible null pointer dereference in bytesobject.c. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

  • bpo-34784: Fix the implementation of PyStructSequence_NewType in order to create heap allocated StructSequences.

  • bpo-34854: 修复问题——当编译包含一个没有默认值的关键字参数的 lambda 的字符串注解时可导致崩溃。

  • bpo-34850: The compiler now produces a SyntaxWarning when identity checks (is and is not) are used with certain types of literals (e.g. strings, ints). These can often work by accident in CPython, but are not guaranteed by the language spec. The warning advises users to use equality tests (== and !=) instead.

  • bpo-34824: Fix a possible null pointer dereference in Modules/_ssl.c. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

  • bpo-30156: The C function property_descr_get() uses a "cached" tuple to optimize function calls. But this tuple can be discovered in debug mode with sys.getobjects(). Remove the optimization, it's not really worth it and it causes 3 different crashes last years.

  • bpo-34762: Fix contextvars C API to use PyObject* pointer types.

  • bpo-34751: The hash function for tuples is now based on xxHash which gives better collision results on (formerly) pathological cases. Additionally, on 64-bit systems it improves tuple hashes in general. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer with substantial contributions by Tim Peters.

  • bpo-34735: Fix a memory leak in Modules/timemodule.c. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

  • bpo-34683: Fixed a bug where some SyntaxError error pointed to locations that were off-by-one.

  • bpo-34588: Fix an off-by-one in the recursive call pruning feature of traceback formatting.

  • bpo-34485: On Windows, the LC_CTYPE is now set to the user preferred locale at startup. Previously, the LC_CTYPE locale was "C" at startup, but changed when calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") or setlocale(LC_ALL, "").

  • bpo-34485: Standard streams like sys.stdout now use the "surrogateescape" error handler, instead of "strict", on the POSIX locale (when the C locale is not coerced and the UTF-8 Mode is disabled).

  • bpo-34485: Fix the error handler of standard streams like sys.stdout: PYTHONIOENCODING=":" is now ignored instead of setting the error handler to "strict".

  • bpo-34485: 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.

  • bpo-34527: On FreeBSD, Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now also forces the ASCII encoding if the LC_CTYPE locale is "POSIX", not only if the LC_CTYPE locale is "C".

  • bpo-34527: The UTF-8 Mode is now also enabled by the "POSIX" locale, not only by the "C" locale.

  • bpo-34403: On HP-UX with C or POSIX locale, sys.getfilesystemencoding() now returns "ascii" instead of "roman8" (when the UTF-8 Mode is disabled and the C locale is not coerced).

  • bpo-34523: The Python filesystem encoding is now read earlier during the Python initialization.

  • bpo-12458: Tracebacks show now correct line number for subexpressions in multiline expressions. Tracebacks show now the line number of the first line for multiline expressions instead of the line number of the last subexpression.

  • bpo-33451: 执行 PyEval_EvalCode() 前先关闭直接执行的pyc文件。

  • bpo-1617161: The hash of BuiltinMethodType instances (methods of built-in classes) now depends on the hash of the identity of __self__ instead of its value. The hash and equality of ModuleType and MethodWrapperType instances (methods of user-defined classes and some methods of built-in classes like str.__add__) now depend on the hash and equality of the identity of __self__ instead of its value. MethodWrapperType instances no longer support ordering.

  • bpo-33824: 修复"LC_ALL=C python3.7 -V":在读取Python配置后编码发生更改时,正确重置命令行解析器。

  • bpo-33803: Fix a crash in hamt.c caused by enabling GC tracking for an object that hadn't all of its fields set to NULL.

  • bpo-33738: Seven macro incompatibilities with the Limited API were fixed, and the macros PyIter_Check(), PyIndex_Check() and PyExceptionClass_Name() were added as functions. A script for automatic macro checks was added.

Fix handling of negative maxsize which should have been treated as zero. Fix errors in toggling the "full" status flag. Fix misordering of links when errors are encountered. Sync-up the C code and pure Python code for the space saving path in functions with a single positional argument. In this common case, the space overhead of an lru cache entry is reduced by almost half. Fix counting of cache misses. In error cases, the miss count was out of sync with the actual number of times the underlying user function was called.

  • bpo-30561: random.gammavariate(1.0, beta) now computes the same result as random.expovariate(1.0 / beta). This synchronizes the two algorithms and eliminates some idiosyncrasies in the old implementation. It does however produce a difference stream of random variables than it used to.

  • bpo-35537: The subprocess module can now use the os.posix_spawn() function in some cases for better performance.

  • bpo-35526: Delaying the 'joke' of barry_as_FLUFL.mandatory to Python version 4.0

  • bpo-35066: Previously, calling the strftime() method on a datetime object with a trailing '%' in the format string would result in an exception. However, this only occurred when the datetime C module was being used; the python implementation did not match this behavior. Datetime is now PEP-399 compliant, and will not throw an exception on a trailing '%'.

  • bpo-35345: The function platform.popen has been removed, it was deprecated since Python 3.3: use os.popen() instead.

  • bpo-35344: On macOS, platform.platform() now uses platform.mac_ver(), if it returns a non-empty release string, to get the macOS version rather than the darwin version.

  • bpo-34872: Fix self-cancellation in C implementation of asyncio.Task

  • bpo-34849: Don't log waiting for selector.select in asyncio loop iteration. The waiting is pretty normal for any asyncio program, logging its time just adds a noise to logs without any useful information provided.

  • bpo-34022: The SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable no longer overrides the value of the invalidation_mode argument to py_compile.compile(), and determines its default value instead.

  • bpo-34043: Optimize tarfile uncompress performance about 15% when gzip is used.

  • bpo-34044: subprocess.Popen now copies the startupinfo argument to leave it unchanged: it will modify the copy, so that the same STARTUPINFO object can be used multiple times.

  • bpo-34010: Fixed a performance regression for reading streams with tarfile. The buffered read should use a list, instead of appending to a bytes object.

  • bpo-34019: webbrowser: Correct the arguments passed to Opera Browser when opening a new URL using the webbrowser module. Patch by Bumsik Kim.

  • bpo-34003: csv.DictReader now creates dicts instead of OrderedDicts. Patch by Michael Selik.

  • bpo-27500: Fix getaddrinfo to resolve IPv6 addresses correctly.

  • bpo-24567: Improve random.choices() to handle subnormal input weights that could occasionally trigger an IndexError.

  • bpo-33871: Fixed integer overflow in os.readv(), os.writev(), os.preadv() and os.pwritev() and in os.sendfile() with headers or trailers arguments (on BSD-based OSes and macOS).

  • bpo-33929: multiprocessing: Fix a race condition in Popen of multiprocessing.popen_spawn_win32. The child process now duplicates the read end of pipe instead of "stealing" it. Previously, the read end of pipe was "stolen" by the child process, but it leaked a handle if the child process had been terminated before it could steal the handle from the parent process.

  • bpo-33899: Tokenize module now implicitly emits a NEWLINE when provided with input that does not have a trailing new line. This behavior now matches what the C tokenizer does internally. Contributed by Ammar Askar.

  • bpo-33897: Added a 'force' keyword argument to logging.basicConfig().

  • bpo-33695: shutil.copytree() uses os.scandir() function and all copy functions depending from it use cached os.stat() values. The speedup for copying a directory with 8000 files is around +9% on Linux, +20% on Windows and + 30% on a Windows SMB share. Also the number of os.stat() syscalls is reduced by 38% making shutil.copytree() especially faster on network filesystems. (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodola' in bpo-33695.)

  • bpo-33916: bz2 and lzma: When Decompressor.__init__() is called twice, free the old lock to not leak memory.

  • bpo-33833: Fixed bug in asyncio where ProactorSocketTransport logs AssertionError if force closed during write.

  • bpo-33663: Convert content length to string before putting to header.

  • bpo-33721: os.path functions that return a boolean result like exists(), lexists(), isdir(), isfile(), islink(), and ismount(), and pathlib.Path methods that return a boolean result like exists(), is_dir(), is_file(), is_mount(), is_symlink(), is_block_device(), is_char_device(), is_fifo(), is_socket() now return False instead of raising ValueError or its subclasses UnicodeEncodeError and UnicodeDecodeError for paths that contain characters or bytes unrepresentable at the OS level.

  • bpo-26544: Fixed implementation of platform.libc_ver(). It almost always returned version '2.9' for glibc.

  • bpo-33843: Remove deprecated cgi.escape, cgi.parse_qs and cgi.parse_qsl.

  • bpo-33842: Remove tarfile.filemode which is deprecated since Python 3.3.

  • bpo-32493: Correct test for uuid_enc_be availability in configure.ac. Patch by Michael Felt.

  • bpo-33792: Add asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy and asyncio.WindowsProactorEventLoopPolicy.

  • bpo-33274: W3C DOM Level 1 specifies return value of Element.removeAttributeNode() as "The Attr node that was removed." xml.dom.minidom now complies with this requirement.

  • bpo-33778: Update unicodedata's database to Unicode version 11.0.0.

  • bpo-33165: Added a stacklevel parameter to logging calls to allow use of wrapper/helper functions for logging APIs.

  • bpo-33770: improve base64 exception message for encoded inputs of invalid length

  • bpo-33769: asyncio/start_tls: Fix error message; cancel callbacks in case of an unhandled error; mark SSLTransport as closed if it is aborted.

  • bpo-33767: The concatenation (+) and repetition (*) sequence operations now raise TypeError instead of SystemError when performed on mmap.mmap objects. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

  • bpo-33734: asyncio/ssl: Fix AttributeError, increase default handshake timeout
