| What's New in Python 3.4.2? |
| =========================== |
| |
| Release date: XXXX-XX-XX |
| |
| Core and Builtins |
| ----------------- |
| |
| - Issue #22258: Fix the the internal function set_inheritable() on Illumos. |
| This platform exposes the function ``ioctl(FIOCLEX)``, but calling it fails |
| with errno is ENOTTY: "Inappropriate ioctl for device". set_inheritable() |
| now falls back to the slower ``fcntl()`` (``F_GETFD`` and then ``F_SETFD``). |
| |
| - Issue #21669: With the aid of heuristics in SyntaxError.__init__, the |
| parser now attempts to generate more meaningful (or at least more search |
| engine friendly) error messages when "exec" and "print" are used as |
| statements. |
| |
| - Issue #21642: If the conditional if-else expression, allow an integer written |
| with no space between itself and the ``else`` keyword (e.g. ``True if 42else |
| False``) to be valid syntax. |
| |
| - Issue #21523: Fix over-pessimistic computation of the stack effect of |
| some opcodes in the compiler. This also fixes a quadratic compilation |
| time issue noticeable when compiling code with a large number of "and" |
| and "or" operators. |
| |
| Library |
| ------- |
| |
| - Issue #22226: First letter no longer is stripped from the "status" key in |
| the result of Treeview.heading(). |
| |
| - Issue #19524: Fixed resource leak in the HTTP connection when an invalid |
| response is received. Patch by Martin Panter. |
| |
| - Issue #22051: turtledemo no longer reloads examples to re-run them. |
| Initialization of variables and gui setup should be done in main(), |
| which is called each time a demo is run, but not on import. |
| |
| - Issue #21933: Turtledemo users can change the code font size with a menu |
| selection or control(command) '-' or '+' or control-mousewheel. |
| Original patch by Lita Cho. |
| |
| _ Issue #21597: The separator between the turtledemo text pane and the drawing |
| canvas can now be grabbed and dragged with a mouse. The code text pane can |
| be widened to easily view or copy the full width of the text. The canvas |
| can be widened on small screens. Original patches by Jan Kanis and Lita Cho. |
| |
| - Issue #18132: Turtledemo buttons no longer disappear when the window is |
| shrunk. Original patches by Jan Kanis and Lita Cho. |
| |
| - Issue #22216: smtplib now resets its state more completely after a quit. The |
| most obvious consequence of the previous behavior was a STARTTLS failure |
| during a connect/starttls/quit/connect/starttls sequence. |
| |
| - Issue #22185: Fix an occasional RuntimeError in threading.Condition.wait() |
| caused by mutation of the waiters queue without holding the lock. Patch |
| by Doug Zongker. |
| |

| in the mailbox module. |
| |
| - Issue #21448: Changed FeedParser feed() to avoid O(N**2) behavior when |
| parsing long line. Original patch by Raymond Hettinger. |
| |
| - Issue #22184: The functools LRU Cache decorator factory now gives an earlier |
| and clearer error message when the user forgets the required parameters. |
| |
| - Issue #17923: glob() patterns ending with a slash no longer match non-dirs on |
| AIX. Based on patch by Delhallt. |
| |
| - Issue #21121: Don't force 3rd party C extensions to be built with |
| -Werror=declaration-after-statement. |
| |
| - Issue #21975: Fixed crash when using uninitialized sqlite3.Row (in particular |
| when unpickling pickled sqlite3.Row). sqlite3.Row is now initialized in the |
| __new__() method. |
| |
| - Issue #21580: Now Tkinter correctly handles bytes arguments passed to Tk. |
| In particular this allows to initialize images from binary data. |
| |

| subprocess. Patch by Lita Cho. |
| |
| - Issue #21704: Fix build error for _multiprocessing when semaphores |
| are not available. Patch by Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis. |
| |
| - Fix repr(_socket.socket) on Windows 64-bit: don't fail with OverflowError |

| BlockingIOError exceptions. |
| |
| - Issue #22044: Fixed premature DECREF in call_tzinfo_method. |
| Patch by Tom Flanagan. |
| |
| - Issue #19884: readline: Disable the meta modifier key if stdout is not |
| a terminal to not write the ANSI sequence "\033[1034h" into stdout. This |
| sequence is used on some terminal (ex: TERM=xterm-256color") to enable |
| support of 8 bit characters. |
| |
| - Issue #21888: plistlib's load() and loads() now work if the fmt parameter is |
| specified. |

| again. Patch by July Tikhonov. |
| |
| - Issue #21714: Disallow the construction of invalid paths using |

| as a ``REG_BINARY`` value to SetValueEx. Patch by John Ehresman. |
| |
| - Issue #21090: io.FileIO.readall() does not ignore I/O errors anymore. Before, |
| it ignored I/O errors if at least the first C call read() succeed. |
| |
| - Issue #21781: ssl.RAND_add() now supports strings longer than 2 GB. |
| |
| - Issue #11453: asyncore: emit a ResourceWarning when an unclosed file_wrapper |

| - Issue #21858: Better handling of Python exceptions in the sqlite3 module. |
| |
| - Issue #21476: Make sure the email.parser.BytesParser TextIOWrapper is |

| first call. (Issue identified and fixed by Lita Cho.) |
| |
| - Issue #21635: The difflib SequenceMatcher.get_matching_blocks() method |
| cache didn't match the actual result. The former was a list of tuples |
| and the latter was a list of named tuples. |
| |
| - Issue #21722: The distutils "upload" command now exits with a non-zero |
| return code when uploading fails. Patch by Martin Dengler. |

| limits would otherwise allow. On systems with a functioning /proc/self/fd |
| or /dev/fd interface the max is now ignored and all fds are closed. |
| |
| - Issue #21552: Fixed possible integer overflow of too long string lengths in |
| the tkinter module on 64-bit platforms. |
| |
| - Issue #14315: The zipfile module now ignores extra fields in the central |

| |
| - Issue #21402: tkinter.ttk now works when default root window is not set. |

| shutdown. |
| |
| Library |
| ------- |
| |
| - Issue #20710: The pydoc summary line no longer displays the "self" parameter |
| for bound methods. |
| |
| - Issue #20566: Change asyncio.as_completed() to use a Queue, to |
| avoid O(N**2) behavior. |
| |
| - Issue #20704: Implement new debug API in asyncio. Add new methods |
| BaseEventLoop.set_debug() and BaseEventLoop.get_debug(). |
| Add support for setting 'asyncio.tasks._DEBUG' variable with |
| 'PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG' environment variable. |
| |
| - asyncio: Refactoring and fixes: BaseEventLoop.sock_connect() raises an |
| error if the address is not resolved; use __slots__ in Handle and |
| TimerHandle; as_completed() and wait() raise TypeError if the passed |
| list of Futures is a single Future; call_soon() and other 'call_*()' |
| functions raise TypeError if the passed callback is a coroutine |
| function; _ProactorBasePipeTransport uses _FlowControlMixin; |
| WriteTransport.set_write_buffer_size() calls _maybe_pause_protocol() |

| What's New in Python 3.4.0 release candidate 1? |
| =============================================== |
| |
| Release date: 2014-02-10 |
| |
| Core and Builtins |
| ----------------- |
| |
| - Issue #19255: The builtins module is restored to initial value before |
| cleaning other modules. The sys and builtins modules are cleaned last. |
| |
| - Issue #20588: Make Python-ast.c C89 compliant. |
| |
| - Issue #20437: Fixed 22 potential bugs when deleting objects references. |
| |
| - Issue #20500: Displaying an exception at interpreter shutdown no longer |
| risks triggering an assertion failure in PyObject_Str. |
| |
| - Issue #20538: UTF-7 incremental decoder produced inconsistent string when |
| input was truncated in BASE64 section. |
| |
| - Issue #20404: io.TextIOWrapper (and hence the open() builtin) now uses the |
| internal codec marking system added for issue #19619 to throw LookupError |
| for known non-text encodings at stream construction time. The existing |
| output type checks remain in place to deal with unmarked third party |
| codecs. |
| |
| - Issue #17162: Add PyType_GetSlot. |
| |
| - Issue #20162: Fix an alignment issue in the siphash24() hash function which |
| caused a crash on PowerPC 64-bit (ppc64). |
| |
| Library |
| ------- |
| |
| - Issue #20530: The signatures for slot builtins have been updated |
| to reflect the fact that they only accept positional-only arguments. |
| |
| - Issue #20517: Functions in the os module that accept two filenames |
| now register both filenames in the exception on failure. |
| |
| - Issue #20563: The ipaddress module API is now considered stable. |
| |
| - Issue #14983: email.generator now always adds a line end after each MIME |
| boundary marker, instead of doing so only when there is an epilogue. This |
| fixes an RFC compliance bug and solves an issue with signed MIME parts. |
| |
| - Issue #20540: Fix a performance regression (vs. Python 3.2) when layering |
| a multiprocessing Connection over a TCP socket. For small payloads, Nagle's |
| algorithm would introduce idle delays before the entire transmission of a |
| message. |
| |
| - Issue #16983: the new email header parsing code will now decode encoded words |
| that are (incorrectly) surrounded by quotes, and register a defect. |
| |
| - Issue #19772: email.generator no longer mutates the message object when |
| doing a down-transform from 8bit to 7bit CTEs. |
| |
| - Issue #20536: the statistics module now correctly handle Decimal instances |
| with positive exponents |
| |
| - Issue #18805: the netmask/hostmask parsing in ipaddress now more reliably |
| filters out illegal values and correctly allows any valid prefix length. |
| |
| - Issue #20481: For at least Python 3.4, the statistics module will require |
| that all inputs for a single operation be of a single consistent type, or |
| else a mixed of ints and a single other consistent type. This avoids |
| some interoperability issues that arose with the previous approach of |
| coercing to a suitable common type. |
| |
| - Issue #20478: the statistics module now treats collections.Counter inputs |
| like any other iterable. |
| |
| - Issue #17369: get_filename was raising an exception if the filename |
| parameter's RFC2231 encoding was broken in certain ways. This was |
| a regression relative to python2. |
| |
| - Issue #20013: Some imap servers disconnect if the current mailbox is |
| deleted, and imaplib did not handle that case gracefully. Now it |
| handles the 'bye' correctly. |
| |
| - Issue #20531: Revert 3.4 version of fix for #19063, and apply the 3.3 |
| version. That is, do *not* raise an error if unicode is passed to |
| email.message.Message.set_payload. |
| |
| - Issue #20476: If a non-compat32 policy is used with any of the email parsers, |
| EmailMessage is now used as the factory class. The factory class should |
| really come from the policy; that will get fixed in 3.5. |
| |
| - Issue #19920: TarFile.list() no longer fails when outputs a listing |
| containing non-encodable characters. Based on patch by Vajrasky Kok. |
| |
| - Issue #20515: Fix NULL pointer dereference introduced by issue #20368. |
| |
| - Issue #19186: Restore namespacing of expat symbols inside the pyexpat module. |
| |
| - Issue #20053: ensurepip (and hence venv) are no longer affected by the |
| settings in the default pip configuration file. |
| |
| - Issue #20426: When passing the re.DEBUG flag, re.compile() displays the |
| debug output every time it is called, regardless of the compilation cache. |
| |
| - Issue #20368: The null character now correctly passed from Tcl to Python. |
| Improved error handling in variables-related commands. |
| |
| - Issue #20435: Fix _pyio.StringIO.getvalue() to take into account newline |
| translation settings. |
| |
| - tracemalloc: Fix slicing traces and fix slicing a traceback. |
| |
| - Issue #20354: Fix an alignment issue in the tracemalloc module on 64-bit |
| platforms. Bug seen on 64-bit Linux when using "make profile-opt". |
| |
| - Issue #17159: inspect.signature now accepts duck types of functions, |
| which adds support for Cython functions. Initial patch by Stefan Behnel. |
| |
| - Issue #18801: Fix inspect.classify_class_attrs to correctly classify |
| object.__new__ and object.__init__. |
| |
| - Fixed cmath.isinf's name in its argument parsing code. |
| |
| - Issue #20311, #20452: poll and epoll now round the timeout away from zero, |
| instead of rounding towards zero, in select and selectors modules: |
| select.epoll.poll(), selectors.PollSelector.poll() and |
| selectors.EpollSelector.poll(). For example, a timeout of one microsecond |
| (1e-6) is now rounded to one millisecondi (1e-3), instead of being rounded to |
| zero. However, the granularity property and asyncio's resolution feature |
| were removed again. |
| |
| - asyncio: Some refactoring; various fixes; add write flow control to |
| unix pipes; Future.set_exception() instantiates the exception |
| argument if it is a class; improved proactor pipe transport; support |
| wait_for(f, None); don't log broken/disconnected pipes; use |
| ValueError instead of assert for forbidden subprocess_{shell,exec} |
| arguments; added a convenience API for subprocess management; added |
| StreamReader.at_eof(); properly handle duplicate coroutines/futures |
| in gather(), wait(), as_completed(); use a bytearray for buffering |
| in StreamReader; and more. |
| |
| - Issue #20288: fix handling of invalid numeric charrefs in HTMLParser. |
| |
| - Issue #20424: Python implementation of io.StringIO now supports lone surrogates. |
| |
| - Issue #20308: inspect.signature now works on classes without user-defined |
| __init__ or __new__ methods. |
| |
| - Issue #20372: inspect.getfile (and a bunch of other inspect functions that |
| use it) doesn't crash with unexpected AttributeError on classes defined in C |
| without __module__. |
| |
| - Issue #20356: inspect.signature formatting uses '/' to separate |
| positional-only parameters from others. |
| |
| - Issue #20223: inspect.signature now supports methods defined with |
| functools.partialmethods. |
| |
| - Issue #19456: ntpath.join() now joins relative paths correctly when a drive |
| is present. |
| |
| - Issue #19077: tempfile.TemporaryDirectory cleanup no longer fails when |
| called during shutdown. Emitting resource warning in __del__ no longer fails. |
| Original patch by Antoine Pitrou. |
| |
| - Issue #20394: Silence Coverity warning in audioop module. |
| |
| - Issue #20367: Fix behavior of concurrent.futures.as_completed() for |
| duplicate arguments. Patch by Glenn Langford. |
| |
| - Issue #8260: The read(), readline() and readlines() methods of |
| codecs.StreamReader returned incomplete data when were called after |
| readline() or read(size). Based on patch by Amaury Forgeot d'Arc. |
| |
| - Issue #20105: the codec exception chaining now correctly sets the |
| traceback of the original exception as its __traceback__ attribute. |
| |
| - Issue #17481: inspect.getfullargspec() now uses inspect.signature() API. |
| |
| - Issue #15304: concurrent.futures.wait() can block forever even if |
| Futures have completed. Patch by Glenn Langford. |
| |
| - Issue #14455: plistlib: fix serializing integers integers in the range |
| of an unsigned long long but outside of the range of signed long long for |
| binary plist files. |
| |
| IDLE |
| ---- |
| |
| - Issue #20406: Use Python application icons for Idle window title bars. |
| Patch mostly by Serhiy Storchaka. |
| |
| - Update the python.gif icon for the Idle classbrowser and pathbowser |
| from the old green snake to the new new blue and yellow snakes. |
| |
| - Issue #17721: Remove non-functional configuration dialog help button until we |
| make it actually gives some help when clicked. Patch by Guilherme Simões. |

| |
| - Issue #19920: Added tests for TarFile.list(). Based on patch by Vajrasky Kok. |
| |
| - Issue #19990: Added tests for the imghdr module. Based on patch by |
| Claudiu Popa. |
| |
| - Issue #20474: Fix test_socket "unexpected success" failures on OS X 10.7+. |
| |
| Tools/Demos |
| ----------- |
| |
| - Issue #20530: Argument Clinic's signature format has been revised again. |
| The new syntax is highly human readable while still preventing false |
| positives. The syntax also extends Python syntax to denote "self" and |
| positional-only parameters, allowing inspect.Signature objects to be |
| totally accurate for all supported builtins in Python 3.4. |
| |
| - Issue #20456: Argument Clinic now observes the C preprocessor conditional |
| compilation statements of the C files it parses. When a Clinic block is |
| inside a conditional code, it adjusts its output to match, including |
| automatically generating an empty methoddef macro. |
| |
| - Issue #20456: Cloned functions in Argument Clinic now use the correct |
| name, not the name of the function they were cloned from, for text |
| strings inside generated code. |
| |
| - Issue #20456: Fixed Argument Clinic's test suite and "--converters" feature. |
| |
| - Issue #20456: Argument Clinic now allows specifying different names |
| for a parameter in Python and C, using "as" on the parameter line. |
| |
| - Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now uses a simple, unique signature to |
| annotate text signatures in docstrings, resulting in fewer false |
| positives. "self" parameters are also explicitly marked, allowing |
| inspect.Signature() to authoritatively detect (and skip) said parameters. |
| |
| - Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now generates separate checksums for the |
| input and output sections of the block, allowing external tools to verify |
| that the input has not changed (and thus the output is not out-of-date). |
| |
| Build |
| ----- |
| |
| - Issue #20465: Update SQLite shipped with OS X installer to 3.8.3. |
| |
| C-API |
| ----- |
| |
| - Issue #20517: Added new functions allowing OSError exceptions to reference |
| two filenames instead of one: PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObjects() and |
| PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObjects(). |
| |
| Documentation |
| ------------- |
| |
| - Issue #20488: Change wording to say importlib is *the* implementation of |
| import instead of just *an* implementation. |
| |
| - Issue #6386: Clarify in the tutorial that specifying a symlink to execute |
| means the directory containing the executed script and not the symlink is |
| added to sys.path. |
| |
| |
| What's New in Python 3.4.0 Beta 3? |
| ================================== |
| |
| Release date: 2014-01-26 |
| |
| Core and Builtins |
| ----------------- |
| |
| - Issue #20189: Four additional builtin types (PyTypeObject, |
| PyMethodDescr_Type, _PyMethodWrapper_Type, and PyWrapperDescr_Type) |
| have been modified to provide introspection information for builtins. |
| |
| - Issue #17825: Cursor "^" is correctly positioned for SyntaxError and |
| IndentationError. |
| |
| - Issue #2382: SyntaxError cursor "^" is now written at correct position in most |
| cases when multibyte characters are in line (before "^"). This still not |
| works correctly with wide East Asian characters. |
| |
| - Issue #18960: The first line of Python script could be executed twice when |
| the source encoding was specified on the second line. Now the source encoding |
| declaration on the second line isn't effective if the first line contains |
| anything except a comment. 'python -x' works now again with files with the |
| source encoding declarations, and can be used to make Python batch files |
| on Windows. |
| |
| Library |
| ------- |
| |
| - asyncio: Various improvements and small changes not all covered by |
| issues listed below. E.g. wait_for() now cancels the inner task if |
| the timeout occcurs; tweaked the set of exported symbols; renamed |
| Empty/Full to QueueEmpty/QueueFull; "with (yield from lock)" now |
| uses a separate context manager; readexactly() raises if not enough |
| data was read; PTY support tweaks. |
| |
| - Issue #20311: asyncio: Add a granularity attribute to BaseEventLoop: maximum |
| between the resolution of the BaseEventLoop.time() method and the resolution |

| What's New in Python 3.4.0 Beta 2? |
| ================================== |
| |
| Release date: 2014-01-05 |
| |
| Core and Builtins |
| ----------------- |
| |
| - Issue #17432: Drop UCS2 from names of Unicode functions in python3.def. |
| |
| - Issue #19526: Exclude all new API from the stable ABI. Exceptions can be |
| made if a need is demonstrated. |
| |
| - Issue #19969: PyBytes_FromFormatV() now raises an OverflowError if "%c" |
| argument is not in range [0; 255]. |
| |
| - Issue #19995: %c, %o, %x, and %X now issue a DeprecationWarning on non-integer |
| input; reworded docs to clarify that an integer type should define both __int__ |
| and __index__. |
| |
| - Issue #19787: PyThread_set_key_value() now always set the value. In Python |
| 3.3, the function did nothing if the key already exists (if the current value |
| is a non-NULL pointer). |
| |
| - Issue #14432: Remove the thread state field from the frame structure. Fix a |
| crash when a generator is created in a C thread that is destroyed while the |
| generator is still used. The issue was that a generator contains a frame, and |
| the frame kept a reference to the Python state of the destroyed C thread. The |
| crash occurs when a trace function is setup. |
| |
| - Issue #19576: PyGILState_Ensure() now initializes threads. At startup, Python |
| has no concrete GIL. If PyGILState_Ensure() is called from a new thread for |
| the first time and PyEval_InitThreads() was not called yet, a GIL needs to be |
| created. |
| |
| - Issue #17576: Deprecation warning emitted now when __int__() or __index__() |
| return not int instance. |
| |
| - Issue #19932: Fix typo in import.h, missing whitespaces in function prototypes. |
| |
| - Issue #19736: Add module-level statvfs constants defined for GNU/glibc |
| based systems. |
| |
| - Issue #20097: Fix bad use of "self" in importlib's WindowsRegistryFinder. |

| billion characters) input strings in _Py_dg_strtod. |
| |

| |
| - Issue #19918: Fix PurePath.relative_to() under Windows. |
| |
| - Issue #19422: Explicitly disallow non-SOCK_STREAM sockets in the ssl |
| module, rather than silently let them emit clear text data. |
| |
| - Issue #20046: Locale alias table no longer contains entities which can be |
| calculated. Generalized support of the euro modifier. |
| |
| - Issue #20027: Fixed locale aliases for devanagari locales. |
| |
| - Issue #20067: Tkinter variables now work when wantobjects is false. |
| |
| - Issue #19020: Tkinter now uses splitlist() instead of split() in configure |
| methods. |
| |
| - Issue #19744: ensurepip now provides a better error message when Python is |
| built without SSL/TLS support (pip currently requires that support to run, |
| even if only operating with local wheel files) |
| |
| - Issue #19734: ensurepip now ignores all pip environment variables to avoid |
| odd behaviour based on user configuration settings |
| |
| - Fix TypeError on "setup.py upload --show-response". |
| |
| - Issue #20045: Fix "setup.py register --list-classifiers". |
| |
| - Issue #18879: When a method is looked up on a temporary file, avoid closing |
| the file before the method is possibly called. |
| |
| - Issue #20037: Avoid crashes when opening a text file late at interpreter |
| shutdown. |
| |
| - Issue #19967: Thanks to the PEP 442, asyncio.Future now uses a |
| destructor to log uncaught exceptions, instead of the dedicated |
| _TracebackLogger class. |
| |
| - Added a Task.current_task() class method to asyncio. |
| |
| - Issue #19850: Set SA_RESTART in asyncio when registering a signal |
| handler to limit EINTR occurrences. |
| |

| write()/sendto() accept bytearray/memoryview. |
| |
| - Issue #20034: Updated alias mapping to most recent locale.alias file |
| from X.org distribution using makelocalealias.py. |
| |
| - Issue #5815: Fixed support for locales with modifiers. Fixed support for |
| locale encodings with hyphens. |

| level (wrong type). |
| |
| - Issue #18829: csv.Dialect() now checks type for delimiter, escapechar and |
| quotechar fields. Original patch by Vajrasky Kok. |
| |
| - Issue #19855: uuid.getnode() on Unix now looks on the PATH for the |
| executables used to find the mac address, with /sbin and /usr/sbin as |
| fallbacks. |
| |
| - Issue #20007: HTTPResponse.read(0) no more prematurely closes connection. |
| Original patch by Simon Sapin. |
| |
| - Issue #19946: multiprocessing now uses runpy to initialize __main__ in |
| child processes when necessary, allowing it to correctly handle scripts |
| without suffixes and submodules that use explicit relative imports or |
| otherwise rely on parent modules being correctly imported prior to |
| execution. |
| |
| - Issue #19921: When Path.mkdir() is called with parents=True, any missing |
| parent is created with the default permissions, ignoring the mode argument |
| (mimicking the POSIX "mkdir -p" command). |
| |
| - Issue #19887: Improve the Path.resolve() algorithm to support certain |
| symlink chains. |
| |
| - Issue #19912: Fixed numerous bugs in ntpath.splitunc(). |
| |
| - Issue #19911: ntpath.splitdrive() now correctly processes the 'İ' character |
| (U+0130, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE). |
| |
| - Issue #19532: python -m compileall with no filename/directory arguments now |
| respects the -f and -q flags instead of ignoring them. |
| |
| - Issue #19623: Fixed writing to unseekable files in the aifc module. |
| |
| - Issue #19946: multiprocessing.spawn now raises ImportError when the module to |
| be used as the main module cannot be imported. |
| |
| - Issue #17919: select.poll.register() again works with poll.POLLNVAL on AIX. |
| Fixed integer overflow in the eventmask parameter. |
| |
| - Issue #19063: if a Charset's body_encoding was set to None, the email |
| package would generate a message claiming the Content-Transfer-Encoding |
| was 7bit, and produce garbage output for the content. This now works. |
| A couple of other set_payload mishandlings of non-ASCII are also fixed. |
| In addition, calling set_payload with a string argument without |
| specifying a charset now raises an error (this is a new error in 3.4). |
| |
| - Issue #15475: Add __sizeof__ implementations for itertools objects. |
| |
| - Issue #19944: Fix importlib.find_spec() so it imports parents as needed |
| and move the function to importlib.util. |
| |
| - Issue #19880: Fix a reference leak in unittest.TestCase. Explicitly break |
| reference cycles between frames and the _Outcome instance. |
| |
| - Issue #17429: platform.linux_distribution() now decodes files from the UTF-8 |
| encoding with the surrogateescape error handler, instead of decoding from the |
| locale encoding in strict mode. It fixes the function on Fedora 19 which is |
| probably the first major distribution release with a non-ASCII name. Patch |
| written by Toshio Kuratomi. |
| |
| - Issue #19343: Expose FreeBSD-specific APIs in resource module. Original |
| patch by Koobs. |
| |
| - Issue #19929: Call os.read with 32768 within subprocess.Popen.communicate |
| rather than 4096 for efficiency. A microbenchmark shows Linux and OS X |
| both using ~50% less cpu time this way. |
| |
| - Issue #19506: Use a memoryview to avoid a data copy when piping data |
| to stdin within subprocess.Popen.communicate. 5-10% less cpu usage. |

| |
| - Issue #6784: Strings from Python 2 can now be unpickled as bytes |
| objects by setting the encoding argument of Unpickler to be 'bytes'. |
| Initial patch by Merlijn van Deen. |
| |
| - Issue #19839: Fix regression in bz2 module's handling of non-bzip2 data at |
| EOF, and analogous bug in lzma module. |
| |

| large bytes string (i.e., with size greater than 2**32-1). |
| |
| - Issue #19138: doctest's IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL now allows a match when |
| no exception detail exists (no colon following the exception's name, or |
| a colon does follow but no text follows the colon). |
| |
| - Issue #19927: Add __eq__ to path-based loaders in importlib. |
| |
| - Issue #19827: On UNIX, setblocking() and settimeout() methods of |
| socket.socket can now avoid a second syscall if the ioctl() function can be |
| used, or if the non-blocking flag of the socket is unchanged. |
| |
| - Issue #19785: smtplib now supports SSLContext.check_hostname and server name |
| indication for TLS/SSL connections. |

| indication for TLS/SSL connections. |
| |
| - Issue #19782: imaplib now supports SSLContext.check_hostname and server name |
| indication for TLS/SSL connections. |
| |
| - Issue 20123: Fix pydoc.synopsis() for "binary" modules. |

| |
| - Issue #19781: ftplib now supports SSLContext.check_hostname and server name |
| indication for TLS/SSL connections. |
| |

| constructor is given a str. Move the array module typecode documentation to |
| the docstring of the constructor. |
| |

| - Use the repr of a module name in more places in import, especially |
| exceptions. |
| |
| - Issue #19619: str.encode, bytes.decode and bytearray.decode now use an |
| internal API to throw LookupError for known non-text encodings, rather |
| than attempting the encoding or decoding operation and then throwing a |
| TypeError for an unexpected output type. (The latter mechanism remains |
| in place for third party non-text encodings) |
| |
| - Issue #19183: Implement PEP 456 'secure and interchangeable hash algorithm'. |
| Python now uses SipHash24 on all major platforms. |
| |
| - Issue #12892: The utf-16* and utf-32* encoders no longer allow surrogate code |
| points (U+D800-U+DFFF) to be encoded. The utf-32* decoders no longer decode |
| byte sequences that correspond to surrogate code points. The surrogatepass |
| error handler now works with the utf-16* and utf-32* codecs. Based on |
| patches by Victor Stinner and Kang-Hao (Kenny) Lu. |
| |
| - Issue #17806: Added keyword-argument support for "tabsize" to |
| str/bytes.expandtabs(). |
| |
| - Issue #17828: Output type errors in str.encode(), bytes.decode() and |
| bytearray.decode() now direct users to codecs.encode() or codecs.decode() |
| as appropriate. |
| |
| - Issue #17828: The interpreter now attempts to chain errors that occur in |
| codec processing with a replacement exception of the same type that |
| includes the codec name in the error message. It ensures it only does this |
| when the creation of the replacement exception won't lose any information. |
| |
| - Issue #19466: Clear the frames of daemon threads earlier during the |
| Python shutdown to call objects destructors. So "unclosed file" resource |
| warnings are now corretly emitted for daemon threads. |
| |
| - Issue #19514: Deduplicate some _Py_IDENTIFIER declarations. |
| Patch by Andrei Dorian Duma. |
| |
| - Issue #17936: Fix O(n**2) behaviour when adding or removing many subclasses |
| of a given type. |
| |
| - Issue #19428: zipimport now handles errors when reading truncated or invalid |
| ZIP archive. |
| |
| - Issue #18408: Add a new PyFrame_FastToLocalsWithError() function to handle |
| exceptions when merging fast locals into f_locals of a frame. |
| PyEval_GetLocals() now raises an exception and return NULL on failure. |
| |
| - Issue #19369: Optimized the usage of __length_hint__(). |
| |
| - Issue #18603: Ensure that PyOS_mystricmp and PyOS_mystrnicmp are in the |
| Python executable and not removed by the linker's optimizer. |
| |
| - Issue #19306: Add extra hints to the faulthandler module's stack |
| dumps that these are "upside down". |

| to load CA certificates and CRL from memory. It supports PEM and DER |
| encoded strings. |
| |
| - Issue #18775: Add name and block_size attribute to HMAC object. They now |
| provide the same API elements as non-keyed cryptographic hash functions. |
| |
| - Issue #17276: MD5 as default digestmod for HMAC is deprecated. The HMAC |
| module supports digestmod names, e.g. hmac.HMAC('sha1'). |

| |
| - Issue #19378: the "line_offset" parameter in the new "dis.get_instructions" |
| API has been renamed to "first_line" (and the default value and usage |

| of "offset" in the dis docs to refer to bytecode offsets. |
| |
| - Issue #18678: Corrected spwd struct member names in spwd module: |
| sp_nam->sp_namp, and sp_pwd->sp_pwdp. The old names are kept as extra |

| |
| - Issue #19553: PEP 453 - "make install" and "make altinstall" now install or |
| upgrade pip by default, using the bundled pip provided by the new ensurepip |
| module. A new configure option, --with-ensurepip[=upgrade|install|no], is |

| |
| What's New in Python 3.4.0 Alpha 4? |
| =================================== |
| |
| Release date: 2013-10-20 |
| |
| Core and Builtins |
| ----------------- |
| |
| - Issue #19301: Give classes and functions that are explicitly marked global a |
| global qualname. |
| |
| - Issue #19279: UTF-7 decoder no longer produces illegal strings. |
| |
| - Issue #16612: Add "Argument Clinic", a compile-time preprocessor for |
| C files to generate argument parsing code. (See PEP 436.) |
| |
| - Issue #18810: Shift stat calls in importlib.machinery.FileFinder such that |
| the code is optimistic that if something exists in a directory named exactly |
| like the possible package being searched for that it's in actuality a |
| directory. |
| |
| - Issue #18416: importlib.machinery.PathFinder now treats '' as the cwd and |
| importlib.machinery.FileFinder no longer special-cases '' to '.'. This leads |
| to modules imported from cwd to now possess an absolute file path for |
| __file__ (this does not affect modules specified by path on the CLI but it |
| does affect -m/runpy). It also allows FileFinder to be more consistent by not |
| having an edge case. |
| |
| - Issue #4555: All exported C symbols are now prefixed with either |
| "Py" or "_Py". |
| |
| - Issue #19219: Speed up marshal.loads(), and make pyc files slightly |
| (5% to 10%) smaller. |
| |
| - Issue #19221: Upgrade Unicode database to version 6.3.0. |
| |
| - Issue #16742: The result of the C callback PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer must |
| now be a string allocated by PyMem_RawMalloc() or PyMem_RawRealloc() (or NULL |
| if an error occurred), instead of a string allocated by PyMem_Malloc() or |
| PyMem_Realloc(). |
| |
| - Issue #19199: Remove ``PyThreadState.tick_counter`` field |
| |
| - Fix macro expansion of _PyErr_OCCURRED(), and make sure to use it in at |
| least one place so as to avoid regressions. |
| |
| - Issue #19087: Improve bytearray allocation in order to allow cheap popping |
| of data at the front (slice deletion). |
| |
| - Issue #19014: memoryview.cast() is now allowed on zero-length views. |
| |
| - Issue #18690: memoryview is now automatically registered with |
| collections.abc.Sequence |
| |
| - Issue #19078: memoryview now correctly supports the reversed builtin |

| |
| - Issue #19262: Initial check in of the 'asyncio' package (a.k.a. Tulip, |
| a.k.a. PEP 3156). There are no docs yet, and the PEP is slightly |
| out of date with the code. This module will have *provisional* status |
| in Python 3.4. |
| |
| - Issue #19276: Fixed the wave module on 64-bit big-endian platforms. |
| |
| - Issue #19266: Rename the new-in-3.4 ``contextlib.ignore`` context manager |

| descriptions of that operation elsewhere in the language and standard |
| library documentation (Patch by Zero Piraeus). |
| |
| - Issue #18891: Completed the new email package (provisional) API additions |
| by adding new classes EmailMessage, MIMEPart, and ContentManager. |

| of OPT for special build options. By setting OPT, some compiler-specific |
| options like -fwrapv were overridden and thus not used, which could result |
| in broken interpreters when building with clang. |

| - Issue #18942: sys._debugmallocstats() output was damaged on Windows. |
| |
| - Issue #18571: Implementation of the PEP 446: file descriptors and file |
| handles are now created non-inheritable; add functions |

| |
| Library |
| ------- |

| Patch by Claudiu Popa. |
| |
| - Issue #18756: os.urandom() now uses a lazily-opened persistent file |
| descriptor, so as to avoid using many file descriptors when run in |
| parallel from multiple threads. |
| |

| |
| - Issue #16809: Tkinter's splitlist() and split() methods now accept Tcl_Obj |
| argument. |
| |

| malloc weak symbols. |
| |

| strings for ``rfc822Name`` (email), ``dNSName`` (DNS) and |
| ``uniformResourceIdentifier`` (URI). |
| |

| existing directory caused mkstemp and related APIs to fail instead of |
| retrying. Report and fix by Vlad Shcherbina. |
| |
| - Issue #18920: argparse's default destination for the version action (-v, |
| --version) has also been changed to stdout, to match the Python executable. |

| test.support. Patch by Valerie Lambert. |
| |
| - Issue #12037: Fix test_email for desktop Windows. |
| |
| - Issue #15507: test_subprocess's test_send_signal could fail if the test |
| runner were run in an environment where the process inherited an ignore |
| setting for SIGINT. Restore the SIGINT handler to the desired |
| KeyboardInterrupt raising one during that test. |
| |
| - Issue #16799: Switched from getopt to argparse style in regrtest's argument |
| parsing. Added more tests for regrtest's argument parsing. |
| |
| - Issue #18792: Use "127.0.0.1" or "::1" instead of "localhost" as much as |
| possible, since "localhost" goes through a DNS lookup under recent Windows |
| versions. |
| |
| IDLE |
| ---- |

| |
| - Issue #15663: Tcl/Tk 8.5.14 is now included with the OS X 10.6+ 64-/32-bit |
| installer. It is no longer necessary to install a third-party version of |
| Tcl/Tk 8.5 to work around the problems in the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5 |
| shipped in OS X 10.6 and later releases. |
| |
| Tools/Demos |
| ----------- |
| |
| - Issue #18922: Now The Lib/smtpd.py and Tools/i18n/msgfmt.py scripts write |

| |
| Library |
| ------- |
| |
| - Issue #15882: Change `_decimal` to accept any coefficient tuple when |

| *Release date: 09-Sep-2012* |
| |
| Core and Builtins |
| ----------------- |
| |
| - Issue #13992: The trashcan mechanism is now thread-safe. This eliminates |
| sporadic crashes in multi-thread programs when several long deallocator chains |
| ran concurrently and involved subclasses of built-in container types. |
| |
| - Issue #15784: Modify `OSError`.__str__() to better distinguish between errno |
| error numbers and Windows error numbers. |

| method. |
| |
| - Issue #15785: Modify `window.get_wch()` API of the curses module: return a |
| character for most keys, and an integer for special keys, instead of always |
| returning an integer. So it is now possible to distinguish special keys like |
| keypad keys. |
| |
| - Issue #14223: Fix `window.addch()` of the curses module for special characters |
| like curses.ACS_HLINE: the Python function addch(int) and addch(bytes) is now |
| calling the C function waddch()/mvwaddch() (as it was done in Python 3.2), |
| instead of wadd_wch()/mvwadd_wch(). The Python function addch(str) is still |
| calling the C function wadd_wch()/mvwadd_wch() if the Python curses is linked |
| to libncursesw. |
| |
| Build |

| Patch by Chris Rebert. |
| |
| - Create a 'Concurrent Execution' section in the docs, and split up the |

| data. Patch by Kushal Das. |
| |
| Build |
| ----- |
| |
| - Output lib files for PGO build into PGO directory. |
| |
| - Pick up 32-bit launcher from PGO directory on 64-bit PGO build. |
| |
| - Drop ``PC\python_nt.h`` as it's not used. Add input dependency on custom |
| build step. |
| |
| - Issue #15511: Drop explicit dependency on pythonxy.lib from _decimal amd64 |
| configuration. |

| in contextlib.ExitStack (Initial patch by Alon Horev) |
| |
| Build |
| ----- |
| |
| - Issue #13590: Improve support for OS X Xcode 4: |
| * Try to avoid building Python or extension modules with problematic |
| llvm-gcc compiler. |
| * Since Xcode 4 removes ppc support, extension module builds now |
| check for ppc compiler support and automatically remove ppc and |
| ppc64 archs when not available. |
| * Since Xcode 4 no longer install SDKs in default locations, |
| extension module builds now revert to using installed headers |
| and libs if the SDK used to build the interpreter is not |
| available. |
| * Update ./configure to use better defaults for universal builds; |
| in particular, --enable-universalsdk=yes uses the Xcode default |
| SDK and --with-universal-archs now defaults to "intel" if ppc |
| not available. |

| |
| Core and Builtins |
| ----------------- |
| |
| - Issue #14172: Fix reference leak when marshalling a buffer-like object |
| (other than a bytes object). |
| |
| - Issue #13521: dict.setdefault() now does only one lookup for the given key, |
| making it "atomic" for many purposes. Patch by Filip Gruszczyński. |
| |
| - PEP 409, Issue #6210: "raise X from None" is now supported as a means of |
| suppressing the display of the chained exception context. The chained |
| context still remains available as the __context__ attribute. |
| |
| - Issue #10181: New memoryview implementation fixes multiple ownership |
| and lifetime issues of dynamically allocated Py_buffer members (#9990) |
| as well as crashes (#8305, #7433). Many new features have been added |
| (See whatsnew/3.3), and the documentation has been updated extensively. |
| The ndarray test object from _testbuffer.c implements all aspects of |
| PEP-3118, so further development towards the complete implementation |
| of the PEP can proceed in a test-driven manner. |
| |

| and many ideas. |
| |
| - Issue #12834: Fix incorrect results of memoryview.tobytes() for |

| |
| - Fix the builtin module initialization code to store the init function for |
| future reinitialization. |
| |
| - Issue #8052: The posix subprocess module would take a long time closing |
| all possible file descriptors in the child process rather than just open |
| file descriptors. It now closes only the open fds if possible for the |
| default close_fds=True behavior. |
| |
| - Issue #13629: Renumber the tokens in token.h so that they match the indexes |
| into _PyParser_TokenNames. |
| |
| - Issue #13752: Add a casefold() method to str. |
| |

| code, to avoid timestamp collisions (especially on filesystems with a low |
| timestamp resolution) when checking for freshness of the bytecode. |
| |
| - PEP 380, Issue #11682: Add "yield from <x>" to support easy delegation to |
| subgenerators (initial patch by Greg Ewing, integration into 3.3 by |
| Renaud Blanch, Ryan Kelly, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek and Nick Coghlan) |
| |
| - Issue #13748: Raw bytes literals can now be written with the ``rb`` prefix |

| given by Campbell Barton). |
| |
| - Issue #13503: Use a more efficient reduction format for bytearrays with |
| pickle protocol >= 3. The old reduction format is kept with older protocols |
| in order to allow unpickling under Python 2. Patch by Irmen de Jong. |
| |
| - Issue #7111: Python can now be run without a stdin, stdout or stderr |
| stream. It was already the case with Python 2. However, the corresponding |
| sys module entries are now set to None (instead of an unusable file object). |
| |
| - Issue #11849: Ensure that free()d memory arenas are really released |
| on POSIX systems supporting anonymous memory mappings. Patch by |
| Charles-François Natali. |
| |
| - PEP 3155 / issue #13448: Qualified name for classes and functions. |
| |
| - Issue #13436: Fix a bogus error message when an AST object was passed |
| an invalid integer value. |
| |

| Stefan Behnel. |
| |
| - Issue #13393: BufferedReader.read1() now asks the full requested size to |
| the raw stream instead of limiting itself to the buffer size. |
| |
| - Issue #13392: Writing a pyc file should now be atomic under Windows as well. |
| |
| - Issue #13333: The UTF-7 decoder now accepts lone surrogates (the encoder |
| already accepts them). |
| |
| - Issue #13389: Full garbage collection passes now clear the freelists for |
| list and dict objects. They already cleared other freelists in the |
| interpreter. |
| |
| - Issue #13327: Remove the need for an explicit None as the second argument |
| to os.utime, os.lutimes, os.futimes, os.futimens, os.futimesat, in |
| order to update to the current time. Also added keyword argument |
| handling to os.utimensat in order to remove the need for explicit None. |
| |
| - Issue #13350: Simplify some C code by replacing most usages of |
| PyUnicode_Format by PyUnicode_FromFormat. |
| |
| - Issue #13342: input() used to ignore sys.stdin's and sys.stdout's unicode |
| error handler in interactive mode (when calling into PyOS_Readline()). |
| |
| - Issue #9896: Add start, stop, and step attributes to range objects. |
| |
| - Issue #13343: Fix a SystemError when a lambda expression uses a global |
| variable in the default value of a keyword-only argument: ``lambda *, |

| the sequence of values they define (instead of comparing based on |
| object identity). |
| |
| - Issue #1294232: In a few cases involving metaclass inheritance, the |
| interpreter would sometimes invoke the wrong metaclass when building a new |
| class object. These cases now behave correctly. Patch by Daniel Urban. |

| warnings. Patch by Josh Triplett and Petri Lehtinen. |
| |
| - Issue #12281: Rewrite the MBCS codec to handle correctly replace and ignore |
| error handlers on all Windows versions. The MBCS codec is now supporting all |
| error handlers, instead of only replace to encode and ignore to decode. |
| |
| - Issue #13188: When called without an explicit traceback argument, |
| generator.throw() now gets the traceback from the passed exception's |
| ``__traceback__`` attribute. Patch by Petri Lehtinen. |
| |
| - Issue #13146: Writing a pyc file is now atomic under POSIX. |
| |
| - Issue #7833: Extension modules built using distutils on Windows will no |
| longer include a "manifest" to prevent them failing at import time in some |
| embedded situations. |

| and bytearray.split may now be passed as keyword arguments. |
| |
| - Issue #13012: The 'keepends' parameter to str.splitlines may now be passed |

| - Issue #13590: On OS X 10.7 and 10.6 with Xcode 4.2, building |
| Distutils-based packages with C extension modules may fail because |
| Apple has removed gcc-4.2, the version used to build python.org |
| 64-bit/32-bit Pythons. If the user does not explicitly override |
| the default C compiler by setting the CC environment variable, |
| Distutils will now attempt to compile extension modules with clang |
| if gcc-4.2 is required but not found. Also as a convenience, if |
| the user does explicitly set CC, substitute its value as the default |
| compiler in the Distutils LDSHARED configuration variable for OS X. |
| (Note, the python.org 32-bit-only Pythons use gcc-4.0 and the 10.4u |
| SDK, neither of which are available in Xcode 4. This change does not |
| attempt to override settings to support their use with Xcode 4.) |

| |
| - Issue #13846: Add time.monotonic(), monotonic clock. |
| |
| - Issue #8184: multiprocessing: On Windows, don't set SO_REUSEADDR on |

| in Python code) now finds the doc of the method. |
| |
| - Issue #10968: Remove indirection in threading. The public names (Event, |
| Condition, etc.) used to be factory functions returning instances of hidden |
| classes (_Event, _Condition, etc.), because (if Guido recalls correctly) this |
| code pre-dates the ability to subclass extension types. It is now possible |
| to inherit from these classes, without having to import the private |
| underscored names like multiprocessing did. |
| |
| - Issue #9723: Add shlex.quote functions, to escape filenames and command |
| lines. |

| of certain authentication mechanisms such as SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS. Patch by |
| Jacek Konieczny. |
| |
| - Issue #665194: email.utils now has format_datetime and parsedate_to_datetime |
| functions, allowing for round tripping of RFC2822 format dates. |

| directory, so that "import DLFCN" and other similar imports work on |
| Linux 3.0. |
| |

| checking sys.version_info or sys._mercurial. |
| |
| - Silence spurious "broken pipe" tracebacks when shutting down a |
| ProcessPoolExecutor. |
| |
| - Fix potential resource leaks in concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor |

| to make HTTP POST requests, and make sure it uses CRLF. |
| |
| - Issue #12016: Multibyte CJK decoders now resynchronize faster. They only |
| ignore the first byte of an invalid byte sequence. For example, |
| b'\xff\n'.decode('gb2312', 'replace') gives '\ufffd\n' instead of '\ufffd'. |
| |
| - Issue #12459: time.sleep() now raises a ValueError if the sleep length is |
| negative, instead of an infinite sleep on Windows or raising an IOError on |
| Linux for example, to have the same behaviour on all platforms. |
| |
| - Issue #12451: pydoc: html_getfile() now uses tokenize.open() to support |
| Python scripts using a encoding different than UTF-8 (read the coding cookie |
| of the script). |
| |
| - Issue #12493: subprocess: Popen.communicate() now also handles EINTR errors |
| if the process has only one pipe. |
| |
| - Issue #12467: warnings: fix a race condition if a warning is emitted at |
| shutdown, if globals()['__file__'] is None. |

| instead of text mode using the locale encoding, to avoid encoding issues. |
| |
| - Issue #12451: runpy: run_path() now opens the Python script in binary mode, |
| instead of text mode using the locale encoding, to support other encodings |
| than UTF-8 (scripts using the coding cookie). |
| |
| - Issue #12451: xml.dom.pulldom: parse() now opens files in binary mode instead |
| of the text mode (using the locale encoding) to avoid encoding issues. |
| |
| - Issue #12147: Adjust the new-in-3.2 smtplib.send_message method for better |

| |
| - Issue #12352: Fix a deadlock in multiprocessing.Heap when a block is freed by |
| the garbage collector while the Heap lock is held. |
| |
| - Issue #12462: time.sleep() now immediately calls the (Python) signal handler |
| if it is interrupted by a signal, instead of having to wait until the next |
| instruction. |
| |
| - Issue #12442: new shutil.disk_usage function, providing total, used and free |
| disk space statistics. |
| |
| - Issue #12451: The XInclude default loader of xml.etree now decodes files from |
| UTF-8 instead of the locale encoding if the encoding is not specified. It now |
| also opens XML files for the parser in binary mode instead of the text mode |
| to avoid encoding issues. |
| |
| - Issue #12451: doctest.debug_script() doesn't create a temporary file |
| anymore to avoid encoding issues. |
| |
| - Issue #12451: pydoc.synopsis() now reads the encoding cookie if available, |
| to read the Python script from the right encoding. |
| |
| - Issue #12451: distutils now opens the setup script in binary mode to read the |
| encoding cookie, instead of opening it in UTF-8. |
| |
| - Issue #9516: On Mac OS X, change Distutils to no longer globally attempt to |
| check or set the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable for the |
| interpreter process. This could cause failures in non-Distutils subprocesses |
| and was unreliable since tests or user programs could modify the interpreter |
| environment after Distutils set it. Instead, have Distutils set the |
| deployment target only in the environment of each build subprocess. It is |
| still possible to globally override the default by setting |
| MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET before launching the interpreter; its value must be |
| greater or equal to the default value, the value with which the interpreter |
| was built. Also, implement the same handling in packaging. |
| |
| - Issue #12422: In the copy module, don't store objects that are their own copy |

| - Issue #11637: Fix support for importing packaging setup hooks from the |
| project directory. |
| |
| - Issue #6771: Moved the curses.wrapper function from the single-function |
| wrapper module into __init__, eliminating the module. Since __init__ was |
| already importing the function to curses.wrapper, there is no API change. |
| |
| - Issue #11584: email.header.decode_header no longer fails if the header |
| passed to it is a Header object, and Header/make_header no longer fail |
| if given binary unknown-8bit input. |
| |

| more quickly. The --multiprocess option is now enabled by default, reducing |
| the amount of time needed to run the tests. "make test" and "make quicktest" |
| now include some resource-intensive tests, but no longer run the test suite |
| twice to check for bugs in .pyc generation. Tools/scripts/run_test.py provides |
| an easy platform-independent way to run test suite with sensible defaults. |

| such as test_io or test_subprocess. |
| |
| - Issue #12624: It is now possible to fail after the first failure when |
| running in verbose mode (``-v`` or ``-W``), by using the ``--failfast`` |
| (or ``-G``) option to regrtest. This is useful with long test suites |
| such as test_io or test_subprocess. |

| in test_telnetlib.py. |
| |
| - Solved a potential deadlock in test_telnetlib.py. Related to issue #11812. |
| |
| - Avoid failing in test_robotparser when mueblesmoraleda.com is flaky and |
| an overzealous DNS service (e.g. OpenDNS) redirects to a placeholder |
| Web site. |
| |
| - Avoid failing in test_urllibnet.test_bad_address when some overzealous |
| DNS service (e.g. OpenDNS) resolves a non-existent domain name. The test |
| is now skipped instead. |
| |
| - Issue #12440: When testing whether some bits in SSLContext.options can be |
| reset, check the version of the OpenSSL headers Python was compiled against, |
| rather than the runtime version of the OpenSSL library. |
| |
| - Issue #11512: Add a test suite for the cgitb module. Patch by Robbie Clemons. |
| |

| - Issue #12469: Run wakeup and pending signal tests in a subprocess to run the |
| test in a fresh process with only one thread and to not change signal |
| handling of the parent process. |
| |
| - Issue #8716: Avoid crashes caused by Aqua Tk on OSX when attempting to run |
| test_tk or test_ttk_guionly under a username that is not currently logged |
| in to the console windowserver (as may be the case under buildbot or ssh). |
| |
| - Issue #12407: Explicitly skip test_capi.EmbeddingTest under Windows. |
| |
| - Issue #12400: regrtest -W doesn't rerun the tests twice anymore, but captures |
| the output and displays it on failure instead. regrtest -v doesn't print the |
| error twice anymore if there is only one error. |
| |
| - Issue #12141: Install copies of template C module file so that |
| test_build_ext of test_distutils and test_command_build_ext of |
| test_packaging are no longer silently skipped when |
| run outside of a build directory. |
| |
| - Issue #8746: Add additional tests for os.chflags() and os.lchflags(). |
| Patch by Garrett Cooper. |

| ----- |
| |
| - Issue #13452: PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() doesn't support error handlers |
| different than "strict" anymore. The caller was unable to compute the |
| size of the output buffer: it depends on the error handler. |
| |
| - Issue #13560: Add PyUnicode_DecodeLocale(), PyUnicode_DecodeLocaleAndSize() |
| and PyUnicode_EncodeLocale() functions to the C API to decode/encode from/to |
