| What's New in Python 3.0a3? |
| =========================== |
| |
| *Release date: XX-XXX-2008* |
| |
| Core and Builtins |
| ----------------- |
| |
| <<<<<<< .working |
| - Issue #1762972: __file__ points to the source file instead of the pyc/pyo |
| file if the py file exists. |
| ======= |
| - Patch #1668: renamed THREADDEBUG envvar to PYTHONTHREADDEBUG. |
| |
| - Patch #602345: Add -B command line option, PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE envvar |
| and sys.dont_write_bytecode attribute. All these can be set to forbid Python |
| to attempt to write compiled bytecode files. |
| |
| - Improve some exception messages when Windows fails to load an extension |
| module. Now we get for example '%1 is not a valid Win32 application' instead |
| of 'error code 193'. |
| >>>>>>> .merge-right.r59840 |
| |
| - Issue #1393: object_richcompare() returns NotImplemented instead of |
| False if the objects aren't equal, to give the other side a chance. |
| |
| - Issue #1692: Interpreter was not displaying location of SyntaxError. |
| |
| - Improve some exception messages when Windows fails to load an extension |
| module. Now we get for example '%1 is not a valid Win32 application' instead |
| of 'error code 193'. Also use Unicode strings to deal with non-English |
| locales. |
| |
| - Issue #1587: Added instancemethod wrapper for PyCFunctions. The Python C API |
| has gained a new type *PyInstanceMethod_Type* and the functions |
| *PyInstanceMethod_Check(o)*, *PyInstanceMethod_New(func)* and |
| *PyInstanceMethod_Function(im)*. |
| |
| - Constants gc.DEBUG_OBJECT and gc.DEBUG_INSTANCE have been removed from the |
| gc module; gc.DEBUG_COLLECTABLE or gc.DEBUG_UNCOLLECTABLE are now enough to |
| print the corresponding list of objects considered by the garbage collector. |
| |
| - Issue #1580: New free format floating point representation based on |
| "Floating-Point Printer Sample Code", by Robert G. Burger. For example |
| repr(11./5) now returns '2.2' instead of '2.2000000000000002'. |
| |
| - Issue #1573: Improper use of the keyword-only syntax makes the parser crash. |
| |
| - Issue #1564: The set implementation should special-case PyUnicode instead |
| of PyString. |
| |
| |
| <<<<<<< .working |
| ======= |
| - Issue #1534: Added ``PyFloat_GetMax()``, ``PyFloat_GetMin()`` and |
| ``PyFloat_GetInfo()`` to the float API. |
| |
| - Issue #1521: On 64bit platforms, using PyArgs_ParseTuple with the t# of w# |
| format code incorrectly truncated the length to an int, even when |
| PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN is set. The str.decode method used to return incorrect |
| results with huge strings. |
| |
| - Issue #1402: Fix a crash on exit, when another thread is still running, and |
| if the deallocation of its frames somehow calls the PyGILState_Ensure() / |
| PyGILState_Release() functions. |
| |
| - Expose the Py_Py3kWarningFlag as sys.py3kwarning. |
| |
| - Issue #1445: Fix a SystemError when accessing the ``cell_contents`` |
| attribute of an empty cell object. |
| |
| - Issue #1460: The utf-7 incremental decoder did not accept truncated input. |
| It now correctly saves its state between chunks of data. |
| |
| - Patch #1739468: Directories and zipfiles containing a __main__.py file can |
| now be directly executed by passing their name to the interpreter. The |
| directory/zipfile is automatically inserted as the first entry in sys.path. |
| |
| - Issue #1265: Fix a problem with sys.settrace, if the tracing function uses a |
| generator expression when at the same time the executed code is closing a |
| paused generator. |
| |
| - sets and frozensets now have an isdisjoint() method. |
| |
| - optimize the performance of builtin.sum(). |
| |
| - Fix warnings found by the new version of the Coverity checker. |
| |
| - The enumerate() builtin function is no longer bounded to sequences smaller |
| than LONG_MAX. Formerly, it raised an OverflowError. Now, automatically |
| shifts from ints to longs. |
| |
| - Issue #1686386: Tuple's tp_repr did not take into account the possibility of |
| having a self-referential tuple, which is possible from C code. Nor did |
| object's tp_str consider that a type's tp_str could do something that could |
| lead to an inifinite recursion. Py_ReprEnter() and Py_EnterRecursiveCall(), |
| respectively, fixed the issues. |
| |
| - Issue #1164: It was possible to trigger deadlock when using the 'print' |
| statement to write to a file since the GIL was not released as needed. Now |
| PyObject_Print() does the right thing along with various tp_print |
| implementations of the built-in types and those in the collections module. |
| |
| - Issue #1147: Exceptions were directly allowing string exceptions in their |
| throw() method even though string exceptions no longer allowed. |
| |
| - Issue #1096: Prevent a segfault from getting the repr of a very deeply nested |
| list by using the recursion counter. |
| |
| - Issue #1202533: Fix infinite recursion calls triggered by calls to |
| PyObject_Call() never calling back out to Python code to trigger recursion |
| depth updates/checks. Required the creation of a static RuntimeError |
| instance in case normalizing an exception put the recursion check value past |
| its limit. Fixes crashers infinite_rec_(1|2|4|5).py. |
| |
| - Patch #1031213: Decode source line in SyntaxErrors back to its original source |
| encoding. |
| |
| - Py_ssize_t fields work in structmember when HAVE_LONG_LONG is not defined. |
| |
| - PEP 3123: Provide forward compatibility with Python 3.0, while keeping |
| backwards compatibility. Add Py_Refcnt, Py_Type, Py_Size, and |
| PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT. |
| |
| - Patch #1673759: add a missing overflow check when formatting floats |
| with %G. |
| |
| - Patch #1733960: Allow T_LONGLONG to accept ints. |
| |
| - T_PYSSIZET can now be used in PyMemberDef lists for Py_ssize_t members. |
| |
| - Prevent expandtabs() on string and unicode objects from causing a segfault |
| when a large width is passed on 32-bit platforms. |
| |
| - Bug #1733488: Fix compilation of bufferobject.c on AIX. |
| |
| - Bug #1722485: remove docstrings again when running with -OO. |
| |
| - Add new attribute names for function objects. All the func_* become |
| __*__ attributes. (Some already existed, e.g., __doc__ and __name__.) |
| |
| - Add -3 option to the interpreter to warn about features that are |
| deprecated and will be changed/removed in Python 3.0. |
| |
| - Patch #1686487: you can now pass any mapping after '**' in function |
| calls. |
| |
| - except clauses may now be spelled either "except E, target:" or |
| "except E as target:". This is to provide forwards compatibility with |
| Python 3.0. |
| |
| - Deprecate BaseException.message as per PEP 352. |
| |
| - Bug #1303614: don't expose object's __dict__ when the dict is |
| inherited from a builtin base. |
| |
| - When __slots__ are set to a unicode string, make it work the same as |
| setting a plain string, ie don't expand to single letter identifiers. |
| |
| - Request #1191699: Slices can now be pickled. |
| |
| - Request #1193128: str.translate() now allows a None argument for |
| translations that only remove characters without re-mapping the |
| remaining characters. |
| |
| - Patch #1682205: a TypeError while unpacking an iterable is no longer |
| masked by a generic one with the message "unpack non-sequence". |
| |
| - Remove unused file Python/fmod.c. |
| |
| - Bug #1683368: The object.__init__() and object.__new__() methods are |
| now stricter in rejecting excess arguments. The only time when |
| either allows excess arguments is when it is not overridden and the |
| other one is. For backwards compatibility, when both are |
| overridden, it is a deprecation warning (for now; maybe a Py3k |
| warning later). Also, type.__init__() insists on the same signature |
| as supported by type.__new__(). |
| |
| - Patch #1675423: PyComplex_AsCComplex() now tries to convert an object |
| to complex using its __complex__() method before falling back to the |
| __float__() method. Therefore, the functions in the cmath module now |
| can operate on objects that define a __complex__() method. |
| |
| - Patch #1623563: allow __class__ assignment for classes with __slots__. |
| The old and the new class are still required to have the same slot names. |
| |
| - Patch #1642547: Fix an error/crash when encountering syntax errors in |
| complex if statements. |
| |
| - Patch #1462488: Python no longer segfaults when ``object.__reduce_ex__()`` |
| is called with an object that is faking its type. |
| |
| - Patch #1680015: Don't modify __slots__ tuple if it contains an unicode |
| name. |
| |
| - Patch #1444529: the builtin compile() now accepts keyword arguments. |
| |
| - Bug #1678647: write a newline after printing an exception in any |
| case, even when converting the value to a string failed. |
| |
| - The dir() function has been extended to call the __dir__() method on |
| its argument, if it exists. If not, it will work like before. This allows |
| customizing the output of dir() in the presence of a __getattr__(). |
| |
| - Patch #922167: Python no longer segfaults when faced with infinitely |
| self-recursive reload() calls (as reported by bug #742342). |
| |
| - Patch #1675981: remove unreachable code from ``type.__new__()`` method. |
| |
| - Patch #1491866: change the complex() constructor to allow parthensized |
| forms. This means complex(repr(x)) now works instead of raising a |
| ValueError. |
| |
| - Patch #703779: unset __file__ in __main__ after running a file. This |
| makes the filenames the warning module prints much more sensible when |
| a PYTHONSTARTUP file is used. |
| |
| - Variant of patch #697613: don't exit the interpreter on a SystemExit |
| exception if the -i command line option or PYTHONINSPECT environment |
| variable is given, but break into the interactive interpreter just like |
| on other exceptions or normal program exit. |
| |
| - Patch #1638879: don't accept strings with embedded NUL bytes in long(). |
| |
| - Bug #1674503: close the file opened by execfile() in an error condition. |
| |
| - Patch #1674228: when assigning a slice (old-style), check for the |
| sq_ass_slice instead of the sq_slice slot. |
| |
| - When printing an unraisable error, don't print exceptions. before the name. |
| This duplicates the behavior whening normally printing exceptions. |
| |
| - Bug #1653736: Properly discard third argument to slot_nb_inplace_power. |
| |
| - PEP 352: Raising a string exception now triggers a TypeError. Attempting to |
| catch a string exception raises DeprecationWarning. |
| |
| - Bug #1377858: Fix the segfaulting of the interpreter when an object created |
| a weakref on itself during a __del__ call for new-style classes (classic |
| classes still have the bug). |
| |
| - Bug #1579370: Make PyTraceBack_Here use the current thread, not the |
| frame's thread state. |
| |
| - patch #1630975: Fix crash when replacing sys.stdout in sitecustomize.py |
| |
| - Bug #1637022: Prefix AST symbols with _Py_. |
| |
| - Prevent seg fault on shutdown which could occur if an object |
| raised a warning. |
| |
| - Bug #1566280: Explicitly invoke threading._shutdown from Py_Main, |
| to avoid relying on atexit. |
| |
| - Bug #1590891: random.randrange don't return correct value for big number |
| |
| - Patch #1586791: Better exception messages for some operations on strings, |
| tuples and lists. |
| |
| - Bug #1067760: Deprecate passing floats to file.seek. |
| |
| - Bug #1591996: Correctly forward exception in instance_contains(). |
| |
| - Bug #1588287: fix invalid assertion for `1,2` in debug builds. |
| |
| - Bug #1576657: when setting a KeyError for a tuple key, make sure that |
| the tuple isn't used as the "exception arguments tuple". |
| |
| - Bug #1565514, SystemError not raised on too many nested blocks. |
| |
| - Bug #1576174: WindowsError now displays the windows error code |
| again, no longer the posix error code. |
| |
| - Patch #1549049: Support long values in structmember, issue warnings |
| if the assigned value for structmember fields gets truncated. |
| |
| - Update the peephole optimizer to remove more dead code (jumps after returns) |
| and inline unconditional jumps to returns. |
| |
| - Bug #1545497: when given an explicit base, int() did ignore NULs |
| embedded in the string to convert. |
| |
| - Bug #1569998: break inside a try statement (outside a loop) is now |
| recognized and rejected. |
| |
| - list.pop(x) accepts any object x following the __index__ protocol. |
| |
| - Fix some leftovers from the conversion from int to Py_ssize_t |
| (relevant to strings and sequences of more than 2**31 items). |
| |
| - A number of places, including integer negation and absolute value, |
| were fixed to not rely on undefined behaviour of the C compiler |
| anymore. |
| |
| - Bug #1566800: make sure that EnvironmentError can be called with any |
| number of arguments, as was the case in Python 2.4. |
| |
| - Patch #1567691: super() and new.instancemethod() now don't accept |
| keyword arguments any more (previously they accepted them, but didn't |
| use them). |
| |
| - Fix a bug in the parser's future statement handling that led to "with" |
| not being recognized as a keyword after, e.g., this statement: |
| from __future__ import division, with_statement |
| |
| - Bug #1557232: fix seg fault with def f((((x)))) and def f(((x),)). |
| |
| - Fix %zd string formatting on Mac OS X so it prints negative numbers. |
| |
| - Allow exception instances to be directly sliced again. |
| |
| - Bug #1551432: Exceptions do not define an explicit __unicode__ method. This |
| allows calling unicode() on exceptions classes directly to succeed. |
| |
| - Make _PyGILState_NoteThreadState() static, it was not used anywhere |
| outside of pystate.c and should not be necessary. |
| |
| - Bug #1542051: Exceptions now correctly call PyObject_GC_UnTrack. |
| Also make sure that every exception class has __module__ set to |
| 'exceptions'. |
| |
| - Bug #1550983: emit better error messages for erroneous relative |
| imports (if not in package and if beyond toplevel package). |
| |
| - Overflow checking code in integer division ran afoul of new gcc |
| optimizations. Changed to be more standard-conforming. |
| |
| - Patch #1542451: disallow continue anywhere under a finally. |
| |
| - Patch #1546288: fix seg fault in dict_equal due to ref counting bug. |
| |
| - The return tuple from str.rpartition(sep) is (tail, sep, head) where |
| head is the original string if sep was not found. |
| |
| - Bug #1520864: unpacking singleton tuples in list comprehensions and |
| generator expressions (x for x, in ... ) works again. Fixing this problem |
| required changing the .pyc magic number. This means that .pyc files |
| generated before 2.5c2 will be regenerated. |
| |
| - with and as are now keywords. |
| |
| - Bug #1664966: Fix crash in exec if Unicode filename can't be decoded. |
| |
| - Issue #1537: Changed GeneratorExit's base class from Exception to BaseException. |
| |

| zipfile module. |
| |
| - Issue #1646: Make socket support the TIPC protocol. |
| |
| - Bug #1742: return os.curdir from os.path.relpath() if both arguments are |
| equal instead of raising an exception. |

| |
| - Issue #1727780: Support loading pickles of random.Random objects created |
| on 32-bit systems on 64-bit systems, and vice versa. As a consequence |
| of the change, Random pickles created by Python 2.6 cannot be loaded |
| in Python 2.5. |
| |
| - Issue #1455: The distutils package now supports VS 2005 and VS 2008 for |
| both the msvccompiler and cygwincompiler. |
| |
| - Issue #1531: tarfile.py: Read fileobj from the current offset, do not |
| seek to the start. |
| |
| - Issue #1534: Added a dictionary sys.float_info with information about the |
| internal floating point type to the sys module. |
| |
| - Issue 1429818: patch for trace and doctest modules so they play nicely |
| together. |
| |
| - doctest made a bad assumption that a package's __loader__.get_data() |
| method used universal newlines. |
| |
| - Issue #1705170: contextlib.contextmanager was still swallowing |
| StopIteration in some cases. This should no longer happen. |
| |
| - Issue #1292: On alpha, arm, ppc, and s390 linux systems the |
| --with-system-ffi configure option defaults to "yes". |
| |
| - IN module for FreeBSD 8 is added and preexisting FreeBSD 6 and 7 |
| files are updated. |
| |

| --disable-toolbox-glue. |
| |
| - collections.deque() now supports a "maxlen" argument. |
| |
| - itertools.count() is no longer bounded to LONG_MAX. Formerly, it raised |
| an OverflowError. Now, automatically shifts from ints to longs. |
| |
| - Patch #1541463: optimize performance of cgi.FieldStorage operations. |
| |
| - Decimal is fully updated to the latest Decimal Specification (v1.66). |
| |

| no longer prompts interactively for a username and password (bug 813986). |
| |
| - TarFile.__init__() no longer fails if no name argument is passed and |
| the fileobj argument has no usable name attribute (e.g. StringIO). |
| |
| - The functools module now provides 'reduce', for forward compatibility |
| with Python 3000. |
| |
| - Server-side SSL support and cert verification added, by Bill Janssen. |
| |
| - socket.ssl deprecated; use new ssl module instead. |
| |
| - uuid creation is now threadsafe. |
| |

| |
| - Bug #1701409: Fix a segfault in printing ctypes.c_char_p and |
| ctypes.c_wchar_p when they point to an invalid location. As a |
| sideeffect the representation of these instances has changed. |
| |
| - tarfile.py: Added "exclude" keyword argument to TarFile.add(). |
| |
| - Bug #1734723: Fix repr.Repr() so it doesn't ignore the maxtuple attribute. |
| |
| - The urlopen function of urllib2 now has an optional timeout parameter (note |
| that it actually works with HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS connections). |
| |
| - In ftplib, the FTP.ntransfercmd method, when in passive mode, now uses |
| the socket.create_connection function, using the timeout specified at |
| connection time. |
| |
| - Bug #1728403: Fix a bug that CJKCodecs StreamReader hangs when it |
| reads a file that ends with incomplete sequence and sizehint argument |
| for .read() is specified. |
| |
| - Bug #1730389: Change time.strptime() to use ``\s+`` instead of ``\s*`` when |
| matching spaces in the specified format argument. |
| |
| - SF 1668596/1720897: distutils now copies data files |
| even if package_dir is empty. |
| |
| - sha now raises a DeprecationWarning upon import. |
| |
| - md5 now raises a DeprecationWarning upon import. |
| |
| - Issue1385: The hmac module now computes the correct hmac when using hashes |
| with a block size other than 64 bytes (such as sha384 and sha512). |
| |
| - mimify now raises a DeprecationWarning upon import. |
| |
| - MimeWriter now raises a DeprecationWarning upon import. |

| |
| - urllib.ftpwrapper class now accepts an optional timeout. |
| |
| - shlex.split() now has an optional "posix" parameter. |
| |
| - The posixfile module now raises a DeprecationWarning. |

| |
| - Fix bug in marshal where bad data would cause a segfault due to |
| lack of an infinite recursion check. |
| |
| - Removed plat-freebsd2 and plat-freebsd3 directories (and IN.py in |
| the directories). |
| |
| - HTML-escape the plain traceback in cgitb's HTML output, to prevent |
| the traceback inadvertently or maliciously closing the comment and |
| injecting HTML into the error page. |
| |
| - The popen2 module and os.popen* are deprecated. Use the subprocess module. |
| |
| - Added an optional credentials argument to SMTPHandler, for use with SMTP |
| servers which require authentication. |
| |
| - Patch #1695948: Added optional timeout parameter to SocketHandler. |
| |
| - Bug #1652788: Minor fix for currentframe. |
| |
| - Patch #1598415: Added WatchedFileHandler to better support external |
| log file rotation using e.g. newsyslog or logrotate. This handler is |
| only useful in Unix/Linux environments. |
| |
| - Bug #1706381: Specifying the SWIG option "-c++" in the setup.py file |
| (as opposed to the command line) will now write file names ending in |
| ".cpp" too. |
| |
| - As specified in RFC 2616, an HTTP response like 2xx indicates that |
| the client's request was successfully received, understood, and accepted. |
| Now in these cases no error is raised in urllib (issue #1177) and urllib2. |
| |
| - Bug #1290505: time.strptime's internal cache of locale information is now |
| properly recreated when the locale is changed. |
| |
| - Patch #1685563: remove (don't add) duplicate paths in distutils.MSVCCompiler. |
| |
| - Added a timeout parameter to the constructor of other protocols |
| (telnetlib, ftplib, smtplib and poplib). This is second part of the |
| work started with create_connection() and timeout in httplib, and |
| closes patch #723312. |
| |
| - Patch #1676823: Added create_connection() to socket.py, which may be |
| called with a timeout, and use it from httplib (whose HTTPConnection |
| and HTTPSConnection now accept an optional timeout). |
| |
| - Bug #978833: Revert r50844, as it broke _socketobject.dup. |
| |
| - Bug #1675967: re patterns pickled with Python 2.4 and earlier can |
| now be unpickled with Python 2.5 and newer. |
| |
| - Patch #1630118: add a SpooledTemporaryFile class to tempfile.py. |
| |
| - Patch #1273829: os.walk() now has a "followlinks" parameter. If set to |
| True (which is not the default), it visits symlinks pointing to |
| directories. |
| |
| - Bug #1681228: the webbrowser module now correctly uses the default |
| GNOME or KDE browser, depending on whether there is a session of one |
| of those present. Also, it tries the Windows default browser before |
| trying Mozilla variants. |
| |
| - Patch #1339796: add a relpath() function to os.path. |
| |
| - Patch #1681153: the wave module now closes a file object it opened if |
| initialization failed. |
| |

| AttributeError instead of an IOError when the server's response didn't |
| contain a valid HTTP status line. |
| |

| expanded in ntpath.expandvars(), also "~user" home directory references |
| are recognized and handled on Windows. |
| |

| for a thing instead of paging it to stdout, which pydoc.doc() does. |
| |
| - Patch #1533909: the timeit module now accepts callables in addition to |
| strings for the code to time and the setup code. Also added two |
| convenience functions for instantiating a Timer and calling its methods. |
| |

| which can be set to False to prevent the default delete-on-close |
| behavior. |
| |
| - Patch #1581073: add a flag to textwrap that prevents the dropping of |
| whitespace while wrapping. |

| |
| - Bug #1651235: When a tuple was passed to a ctypes function call, |
| Python would crash instead of raising an error. |
| |
| - Bug #1646630: ctypes.string_at(buf, 0) and ctypes.wstring_at(buf, 0) |
| returned string up to the first NUL character. |
| |
| - Patch #957003: Implement smtplib.LMTP. |
| |
| - Patch #1481079: add support for HTTP_REFERER to CGIHTTPServer. |

| a descriptive message. |
| |
| - Bug #1115886: os.path.splitext('.cshrc') gives now ('.cshrc', ''). |
| |
| - unittest now verifies more of its assumptions. In particular, TestCase |
| and TestSuite subclasses (not instances) are no longer accepted in |
| TestSuite.addTest(). This should cause no incompatibility since it |
| never made sense with ordinary subclasses -- the failure just occurred |
| later, with a more cumbersome exception. |
| |
| - Patch #787789: allow to pass custom TestRunner instances to unittest's |
| main() function. |
| |
| - Patches #1550273, #1550272: fix a few bugs in unittest and add a |
| comprehensive test suite for the module. |
| |

| to build and those it knows how to build but that fail to build. |
| |
| - Patch #912410: Replace HTML entity references for attribute values |
| in HTMLParser. |

| iso8859_16. |
| |
| - Patch #1638243: the compiler package is now able to correctly compile |
| a with statement; previously, executing code containing a with statement |
| compiled by the compiler package crashed the interpreter. |
| |
| - Bug #1643943: Fix time.strptime's support for the %U directive. |
| |
| - Patch #1507247: tarfile.py: use current umask for intermediate |

| |
| - Bug #494589: make ntpath.expandvars behave according to its docstring. |

| |
| - The version number of the ctypes package changed to "1.1.0". |
| |
| - Bug #1627575: logging: Added _open() method to FileHandler which can |
| be used to reopen files. The FileHandler instance now saves the |
| encoding (which can be None) in an attribute called "encoding". |
| |
| - Bug #411881: logging.handlers: bare except clause removed from |
| SMTPHandler.emit. Now, only ImportError is trapped. |
| |
| - Bug #411881: logging.handlers: bare except clause removed from |
| SocketHandler.createSocket. Now, only socket.error is trapped. |

| weren't passing the message factory on to newly created Maildir/MH |
| objects. |
| |
| - Patch #1514543: mailbox.py: In the Maildir class, report errors if there's |
| a filename clash instead of possibly losing a message. (Patch by David |
| Watson.) |
| |

| correctly. |
| |
| - Patch #1567274: Support SMTP over TLS. |
| |
| - Patch #1560695: Add .note.GNU-stack to ctypes' sysv.S so that |
| ctypes isn't considered as requiring executable stacks. |
| |
| - ctypes callback functions only support 'fundamental' data types as |
| result type. Raise an error when something else is used. This is a |
| partial fix for Bug #1574584. |
| |
| - Fix turtle so that time.sleep is imported for the entire library. Allows |
| the demo2 function to be executed on its own instead of only when the |

| |
| - Bug #813342: Start the IDLE subprocess with -Qnew if the parent |
| is started with that option. |

| |
| - Fix a bug in traceback.format_exception_only() that led to an error |

| In version 2.4, this printed "None", restored that behavior. |
| |
| - Make webbrowser.BackgroundBrowser usable in Windows (it wasn't because |
| the close_fds arg to subprocess.Popen is not supported). |
| |
| - Reverted patch #1504333 to sgmllib because it introduced an infinite loop. |

| |
| - The implementation of UnicodeError objects has been simplified (start and end |
| attributes are now stored directly as Py_ssize_t members). |
| |

| |
| What's New in Python 3.0a2? |
| =========================== |
| |
| *Release date: 07-Dec-2007* |
| |
| (Note: this list is incomplete.) |
| |
| Core and Builtins |
| ----------------- |
| |
| - str8 now has the same construction signature as bytes. |
| |
| - Comparisons between str and str8 now return False/True for ==/!=. sqlite3 |
| returns str8 when recreating on object from it's __conform__ value. The |
| struct module returns str8 for all string-related formats. This was true |
| before this change, but becomes more apparent thanks to string comparisons |
| always being False. |
| |
| - Replaced `PyFile_FromFile()` with `PyFile_FromFd(fd, name. mode, buffer, |
| encoding, newline)` |
| |
| - Fixed `imp.find_module()` to obey the -*- coding: -*- header. |
| |
| - Changed `__file__` and `co_filename` to unicode. The path names are decoded |
| with `Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding` and a new API method |
| `PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault(char*)` was added. |
| |
| - io.open() and _fileio.FileIO have grown a new argument closefd. A false |
| value disables the closing of the file descriptor. |
| |
| - Added a new option -b to issues warnings (-bb for errors) about certain |
| operations between bytes/buffer and str like str(b'') and comparsion. |
| |
| - The standards streams sys.stdin, stdout and stderr may be None when the |
| when the C runtime library returns an invalid file descriptor for the |
| streams (fileno(stdin) < 0). For now this happens only for Windows GUI |
| apps and scripts started with `pythonw.exe`. |
| |
| - Added PCbuild9 directory for VS 2008. |
| |
| - Renamed structmember.h WRITE_RESTRICTED to PY_WRITE_RESTRICTED to work |
| around a name clash with VS 2008 on Windows. |
| |
| - Unbound methods are gone for good. ClassObject.method returns an ordinary |
| function object, instance.method still returns a bound method object. |
| The API of bound methods is cleaned up, too. The im_class attribute is |
| removed and im_func + im_self are renamed to __func__ and __self__. The |
| factory PyMethod_New takes only func and instance as argument. |
| |
| - intobject.h is no longer included by Python.h. The remains were moved |
| to longobject.h. It still exists to define several aliases from PyInt_ |
| to PyLong_ functions. |
| |
| - Removed sys.maxint, use sys.maxsize instead. |
| |
| |
| Extension Modules |
| ----------------- |
| |
| - The `hotshot` profiler has been removed; use `cProfile` instead. |
| |
| |
| Library |
| ------- |
| |
| - When loading an external file using testfile(), the passed-in encoding |
| argument was being ignored if __loader__ is defined and forcing the source to |
| be UTF-8. |
| |
| - The methods `os.tmpnam()`, `os.tempnam()` and `os.tmpfile()` have been |
| removed in favor of the tempfile module. |
| |
| - Removed the 'new' module. |
| |
| - Removed all types from the 'types' module that are easily accessable through |
| builtins. |
| |
| |
| What's New in Python 3.0a1? |
| ========================== |
| |
| *Release date: 31-Aug-2007* |
| |
| Core and Builtins |
| ----------------- |
| |
| - PEP 3131: Support non-ASCII identifiers. |
| |
| - PEP 3120: Change default encoding to UTF-8. |
| |
| - PEP 3123: Use proper C inheritance for PyObject. |
| |
| - Removed the __oct__ and __hex__ special methods and added a bin() |
| builtin function. |
| |
| - PEP 3127: octal literals now start with "0o". Old-style octal literals |
| are invalid. There are binary literals with a prefix of "0b". |
| This also affects int(x, 0). |
| |
| - None, True, False are now keywords. |
| |
| - PEP 3119: isinstance() and issubclass() can be overridden. |
| |
| - Remove BaseException.message. |
| |
| - Remove tuple parameter unpacking (PEP 3113). |
| |
| - Remove the f_restricted attribute from frames. This naturally leads to the |
| removal of PyEval_GetRestricted() and PyFrame_IsRestricted(). |
| |
| - PEP 3132 was accepted. That means that you can do ``a, *b = range(5)`` |
| to assign 0 to a and [1, 2, 3, 4] to b. |
| |
| - range() now returns an iterator rather than a list. Floats are not allowed. |
| xrange() is no longer defined. |
| |
| - Patch #1660500: hide iteration variable in list comps, add set comps |
| and use common code to handle compilation of iterative expressions |
| |
| - By default, != returns the opposite of ==, unless the latter returns |
| NotImplemented. |
| |
| - Patch #1680961: sys.exitfunc has been removed and replaced with a private |
| C-level API. |
| |
| - PEP 3115: new metaclasses: the metaclass is now specified as a |
| keyword arg in the class statement, which can now use the full syntax of |
| a parameter list. Also, the metaclass can implement a __prepare__ function |
| which will be called to create the dictionary for the new class namespace. |
| |
| - The long-deprecated argument "pend" of PyFloat_FromString() has been |
| removed. |
| |
| - The dir() function has been extended to call the __dir__() method on |
| its argument, if it exists. If not, it will work like before. This allows |
| customizing the output of dir() in the presence of a __getattr__(). |
| |
| - Removed support for __members__ and __methods__. |
| |
| - Removed indexing/slicing on BaseException. |
| |
| - input() became raw_input(): the name input() now implements the |
| functionality formerly known as raw_input(); the name raw_input() |
| is no longer defined. |
| |
| - Classes listed in an 'except' clause must inherit from BaseException. |
| |
| - PEP 3106: dict.iterkeys(), .iteritems(), .itervalues() are now gone; |
| and .keys(), .items(), .values() return dict views, which behave |
| like sets. |
| |
| - PEP 3105: print is now a function. Also (not in the PEP) the |
| 'softspace' attribute of files is now gone (since print() doesn't use |
| it). A side effect of this change is that you can get incomplete |
| output lines in interactive sessions: |
| |
| >>> print(42, end="") |
| 42>>> |
| |
| We may be able to fix this after the I/O library rewrite. |
| |
| - PEP 3102: keyword-only arguments. |
| |
| - Int/Long unification is complete. The 'long' built-in type |
| and literals with trailing 'L' or 'l' have been removed. |
| Performance may be sub-optimal (haven't really benchmarked). |
| |
| - 'except E, V' must now be spelled as 'except E as V' and deletes V |
| at the end of the except clause; V must be a simple name. |
| |
| - Added function annotations per PEP 3107. |
| |
| - Added nonlocal declaration from PEP 3104 |
| |
| >>> def f(x): |
| ... def inc(): |
| ... nonlocal x |
| ... x += 1 |
| ... return x |
| ... return inc |
| ... |
| >>> inc = f(0) |
| >>> inc() |
| 1 |
| >>> inc() |
| 2 |
| |
| - Moved intern() to sys.intern(). |
| |
| - exec is now a function. |
| |
| - Renamed nb_nonzero to nb_bool and __nonzero__ to __bool__. |
| |
| - Classic classes are a thing of the past. All classes are new style. |
| |
| - Exceptions *must* derive from BaseException. |
| |
| - Integer division always returns a float. The -Q option is no more. |
| All the following are gone: |
| * PyNumber_Divide and PyNumber_InPlaceDivide |
| * __div__, __rdiv__, and __idiv__ |
| * nb_divide, nb_inplace_divide |
| * operator.div, operator.idiv, operator.__div__, operator.__idiv__ |
| (Only __truediv__ and __floordiv__ remain, not sure how to handle them |
| if we want to re-use __div__ and friends. If we do, it will make |
| it harder to write code for both 2.x and 3.x.) |
| |
| - 'as' and 'with' are keywords. |
| |
| - Absolute import is the default behavior for 'import foo' etc. |
| |
| - Removed support for syntax: |
| backticks (ie, `x`), <> |
| |
| - Removed these Python builtins: |
| apply(), callable(), coerce(), execfile(), file(), reduce(), reload() |
| |
| - Removed these Python methods: |
| {}.has_key |
| |
| - Removed these opcodes: |
| BINARY_DIVIDE, INPLACE_DIVIDE, UNARY_CONVERT |
| |
| - Remove C API support for restricted execution. |
| |
| - zip(), map() and filter() now return iterators, behaving like their |
| itertools counterparts. This also affect map()'s behavior on |
| sequences of unequal length -- it now stops after the shortest one |
| is exhausted. |
