| 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() |

| |
| - Issue #19744: the ensurepip installation step now just prints a warning to |

| |
| Build |
| ----- |

| |
| 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 |

| 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. |

| |
| - 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 |
| of the selector. The granuarility is used in the scheduler to round time and |
| deadline. |
| |
| - Issue #20311: selectors: Add a resolution attribute to BaseSelector. |
| |
| - Issue #20189: unittest.mock now no longer assumes that any object for |
| which it could get an inspect.Signature is a callable written in Python. |
| Fix courtesy of Michael Foord. |
| |
| - Issue #20317: ExitStack.__exit__ could create a self-referential loop if an |
| exception raised by a cleanup operation already had its context set |
| correctly (for example, by the @contextmanager decorator). The infinite |
| loop this caused is now avoided by checking if the expected context is |
| already set before trying to fix it. |
| |
| - Issue #20374: Fix build with GNU readline >= 6.3. |
| |
| - Issue #20262: Warnings are raised now when duplicate names are added in the |
| ZIP file or too long ZIP file comment is truncated. |
| |
| - Issue #20165: The unittest module no longer considers tests marked with |
| @expectedFailure successful if they pass. |
| |
| - Issue #18574: Added missing newline in 100-Continue reply from |

| with two new required arguments: "typedef" and "type_object". |
| |
| - Issue #20390: Argument Clinic: If __new__ or __init__ functions didn't use |

| optional parameters. |
| |

| (e.g. "sys.maxsize - 1") as default values for parameters. |
| |
| - Issue #19936: Added executable bits or shebang lines to Python scripts which |
| requires them. Disable executable bits and shebang lines in test and |

| 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. |
| |
| - Issue #19729: In str.format(), fix recursive expansion in format spec. |
| |
| - Issue #19638: Fix possible crash / undefined behaviour from huge (more than 2 |
| 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. |
| |
| - Implemented write flow control in asyncio for proactor event loop (Windows). |

| - Change write buffer in asyncio use to avoid O(N**2) behavior. Make |
| 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. |
| |
| - Issue #20026: Fix the sqlite module to handle correctly invalid isolation |
| 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 #19876: selectors unregister() no longer raises ValueError or OSError |
| if the FD is closed (as long as it was registered). |
| |

| |
| - 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. |
| |
| - Issue #19881: Fix pickling bug where cpickle would emit bad pickle data for |
| 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. |
| |
| - Issue #19784: poplib now supports SSLContext.check_hostname and server name |
| indication for TLS/SSL connections. |

| 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. |
| |

| What's New in Python 3.4.0 Beta 1? |
| ================================== |
| |
| Release date: 2013-11-24 |
| |
| Core and Builtins |
| ----------------- |
| |
| - 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 #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 #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 |

| compressed streams. |
| |

| reside in the os module. |
| |
| - Issue #19205: Don't import the 're' module in site and sysconfig module to |
| to speed up interpreter start. |
| |
| - Issue #9548: Add a minimal "_bootlocale" module that is imported by the |

| - 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 #18418: After fork(), reinit all threads states, not only active ones. |
| Patch by A. Jesse Jiryu Davis. |

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

| 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 #18489: Add tests for SearchEngine. Original patch by Phil Webster. |
| |

| |
| - 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 |
