Benjamin Peterson | a2f837f | 2008-04-28 21:05:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 95 | - All backslashes in raw strings are interpreted literally. This means that |

Neal Norwitz | 6cf49cf | 2008-03-24 06:22:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 145 | - The dl module was removed, use the ctypes module instead. |

Martin v. Löwis | 73a22f0 | 2008-03-22 00:35:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 152 | - The class distutils.commands.build_py.build_py_2to3 can be used |
| 153 | as a build_py replacement to automatically run 2to3 on modules |

| 155 | |
Guido van Rossum | f416981 | 2008-03-17 22:56:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 156 | - A new pickle protocol (protocol 3) is added with explicit support |
| 157 | for bytes. This is the default protocol. It intentionally cannot |
| 158 | be unpickled by Python 2.x. |
| 159 | |
| 160 | - When a pickle written by Python 2.x contains an (8-bit) str |
| 161 | instance, this is now decoded to a (Unicode) str instance. The |
| 162 | encoding used to do this defaults to ASCII, but can be overridden |
| 163 | via two new keyword arguments to the Unpickler class. Previously |
| 164 | this would create bytes instances, which is usually wrong: str |
| 165 | instances are often used to pickle attribute names etc., and text is |
| 166 | more common than binary data anyway. |
| 167 | |
Martin v. Löwis | 071ef77 | 2008-03-08 11:24:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 168 | - Default to ASCII as the locale.getpreferredencoding, if the POSIX |
| 169 | system doesn't support CODESET and LANG isn't set or doesn't |
| 170 | allow deduction of an encoding. |
| 171 | |
Gregory P. Smith | 425136b | 2008-03-17 20:45:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 172 | - Issue #1202: zlib.crc32 and zlib.adler32 now return an unsigned value. |
| 173 | |
Trent Nelson | 428de65 | 2008-03-18 22:41:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 174 | - Issue #719888: Updated tokenize to use a bytes API. generate_tokens has been |
| 175 | renamed tokenize and now works with bytes rather than strings. A new |
| 176 | detect_encoding function has been added for determining source file encoding |
| 177 | according to PEP-0263. Token sequences returned by tokenize always start |
| 178 | with an ENCODING token which specifies the encoding used to decode the file. |
| 179 | This token is used to encode the output of untokenize back to bytes. |

| 190 | |
Benjamin Peterson | ec79aad | 2008-04-02 22:44:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 191 | - Issue #2115: Important speedup in setting __slot__ attributes. Also |
| 192 | prevent a possible crash: an Abstract Base Class would try to access a slot |

| 196 | imaginary part. |
| 197 | |

| 203 | collections.defaultdict, if its default_factory is set to a bound method. |

| 207 | |
| 208 | - Limit free list of method and builtin function objects to 256 entries |
| 209 | each. |
| 210 | |

| 212 | ``PyInt_CompactFreeList`` and ``PyFloat_CompactFreeList`` |
| 213 | to compact the internal free lists of pre-allocted ints and floats. |
| 214 | |
| 215 | - Bug #1983: Fixed return type of fork(), fork1() and forkpty() calls. |
| 216 | Python expected the return type int but the fork familie returns pi_t. |
| 217 | |
| 218 | - Issue #1678380: Fix a bug that identifies 0j and -0j when they appear |
| 219 | in the same code unit. |

| 253 | |
Christian Heimes | a3534a6 | 2007-12-11 19:56:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 254 | - Issue #1587: Added instancemethod wrapper for PyCFunctions. The Python C API |
| 255 | has gained a new type *PyInstanceMethod_Type* and the functions |

| 340 | |
Brett Cannon | 37f7e6e | 2007-10-26 05:42:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 341 | - str8 now has the same construction signature as bytes. |
| 342 | |
Brett Cannon | 4043001 | 2007-10-22 20:24:51 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 343 | - Comparisons between str and str8 now return False/True for ==/!=. sqlite3 |
| 344 | returns str8 when recreating on object from it's __conform__ value. The |
| 345 | struct module returns str8 for all string-related formats. This was true |
| 346 | before this change, but becomes more apparent thanks to string comparisons |
| 347 | always being False. |
| 348 | |
Guido van Rossum | 40d20bc | 2007-10-22 00:09:51 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 349 | - Replaced `PyFile_FromFile()` with `PyFile_FromFd(fd, name. mode, buffer, |
| 350 | encoding, newline)` |
| 351 | |
| 352 | - Fixed `imp.find_module()` to obey the -*- coding: -*- header. |
| 353 | |
| 354 | - Changed `__file__` and `co_filename` to unicode. The path names are decoded |
| 355 | with `Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding` and a new API method |
| 356 | `PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault(char*)` was added. |
| 357 | |
Guido van Rossum | 2dced8b | 2007-10-30 17:27:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 358 | - io.open() and _fileio.FileIO have grown a new argument closefd. A false |
| 359 | value disables the closing of the file descriptor. |
| 360 | |
Guido van Rossum | 98297ee | 2007-11-06 21:34:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 361 | - Added a new option -b to issues warnings (-bb for errors) about certain |
| 362 | operations between bytes/buffer and str like str(b'') and comparsion. |
| 363 | |
Christian Heimes | 58cb1b8 | 2007-11-13 02:19:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 364 | - The standards streams sys.stdin, stdout and stderr may be None when the |
| 365 | when the C runtime library returns an invalid file descriptor for the |
| 366 | streams (fileno(stdin) < 0). For now this happens only for Windows GUI |
| 367 | apps and scripts started with `pythonw.exe`. |
| 368 | |
Christian Heimes | bce52be | 2007-11-17 19:08:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 369 | - Added PCbuild9 directory for VS 2008. |
| 370 | |
| 371 | - Renamed structmember.h WRITE_RESTRICTED to PY_WRITE_RESTRICTED to work |
| 372 | around a name clash with VS 2008 on Windows. |
| 373 | |
Christian Heimes | ff73795 | 2007-11-27 10:40:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 374 | - Unbound methods are gone for good. ClassObject.method returns an ordinary |
| 375 | function object, instance.method still returns a bound method object. |
| 376 | The API of bound methods is cleaned up, too. The im_class attribute is |
| 377 | removed and im_func + im_self are renamed to __func__ and __self__. The |
| 378 | factory PyMethod_New takes only func and instance as argument. |
| 379 | |
Christian Heimes | f78b1c6 | 2007-12-02 16:52:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 380 | - intobject.h is no longer included by Python.h. The remains were moved |
| 381 | to longobject.h. It still exists to define several aliases from PyInt_ |
| 382 | to PyLong_ functions. |
| 383 | |
Christian Heimes | a37d4c6 | 2007-12-04 23:02:19 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 384 | - Removed sys.maxint, use sys.maxsize instead. |

| 394 | ------- |
| 395 | |
| 396 | - When loading an external file using testfile(), the passed-in encoding |
| 397 | argument was being ignored if __loader__ is defined and forcing the source to |
| 398 | be UTF-8. |
| 399 | |
Guido van Rossum | 687b9c0 | 2007-10-25 23:18:51 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 400 | - The methods `os.tmpnam()`, `os.tempnam()` and `os.tmpfile()` have been |
| 401 | removed in favor of the tempfile module. |
| 402 | |
Christian Heimes | c9543e4 | 2007-11-28 08:28:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 403 | - Removed the 'new' module. |
| 404 | |
| 405 | - Removed all types from the 'types' module that are easily accessable through |
| 406 | builtins. |

| 416 | |
Martin v. Löwis | 4738340 | 2007-08-15 07:32:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 417 | - PEP 3131: Support non-ASCII identifiers. |

| 422 | |
Guido van Rossum | cd16bf6 | 2007-06-13 18:07:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 423 | - Removed the __oct__ and __hex__ special methods and added a bin() |
| 424 | builtin function. |
| 425 | |
| 426 | - PEP 3127: octal literals now start with "0o". Old-style octal literals |
| 427 | are invalid. There are binary literals with a prefix of "0b". |
| 428 | This also affects int(x, 0). |
| 429 | |
Guido van Rossum | e7ba495 | 2007-06-06 23:52:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 430 | - None, True, False are now keywords. |
| 431 | |
Guido van Rossum | 29478ef | 2007-05-29 00:39:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 432 | - PEP 3119: isinstance() and issubclass() can be overridden. |
| 433 | |
Guido van Rossum | ebe3e16 | 2007-05-17 18:20:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 434 | - Remove BaseException.message. |
| 435 | |
Guido van Rossum | 1bc535d | 2007-05-15 18:46:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 436 | - Remove tuple parameter unpacking (PEP 3113). |
| 437 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 2c7f314 | 2007-08-30 21:52:19 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 438 | - Remove the f_restricted attribute from frames. This naturally leads to the |
Guido van Rossum | a8add0e | 2007-05-14 22:03:55 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 439 | removal of PyEval_GetRestricted() and PyFrame_IsRestricted(). |
| 440 | |
Guido van Rossum | 0368b72 | 2007-05-11 16:50:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 441 | - PEP 3132 was accepted. That means that you can do ``a, *b = range(5)`` |
| 442 | to assign 0 to a and [1, 2, 3, 4] to b. |
| 443 | |
Guido van Rossum | 805365e | 2007-05-07 22:24:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 444 | - range() now returns an iterator rather than a list. Floats are not allowed. |
| 445 | xrange() is no longer defined. |
| 446 | |
Nick Coghlan | 650f0d0 | 2007-04-15 12:05:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 447 | - Patch #1660500: hide iteration variable in list comps, add set comps |
| 448 | and use common code to handle compilation of iterative expressions |
| 449 | |
Guido van Rossum | e27dc72 | 2007-03-27 22:37:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 450 | - By default, != returns the opposite of ==, unless the latter returns |
| 451 | NotImplemented. |
| 452 | |
Collin Winter | 670e692 | 2007-03-21 02:57:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 453 | - Patch #1680961: sys.exitfunc has been removed and replaced with a private |
| 454 | C-level API. |
| 455 | |
Georg Brandl | 801dd73 | 2007-03-18 20:18:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 456 | - PEP 3115: new metaclasses: the metaclass is now specified as a |
| 457 | keyword arg in the class statement, which can now use the full syntax of |
| 458 | a parameter list. Also, the metaclass can implement a __prepare__ function |
| 459 | which will be called to create the dictionary for the new class namespace. |
| 460 | |
Georg Brandl | 428f064 | 2007-03-18 18:35:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 461 | - The long-deprecated argument "pend" of PyFloat_FromString() has been |
| 462 | removed. |
| 463 | |
Georg Brandl | e32b422 | 2007-03-10 22:13:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 464 | - The dir() function has been extended to call the __dir__() method on |
| 465 | its argument, if it exists. If not, it will work like before. This allows |
| 466 | customizing the output of dir() in the presence of a __getattr__(). |
Brett Cannon | ba7bf49 | 2007-02-27 00:15:55 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 467 | |
Neal Norwitz | 8dfc4a9 | 2007-08-11 06:39:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 468 | - Removed support for __members__ and __methods__. |
| 469 | |

Neal Norwitz | 2633c69 | 2007-02-26 22:22:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 471 | |
Georg Brandl | e32b422 | 2007-03-10 22:13:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 472 | - input() became raw_input(): the name input() now implements the |
Guido van Rossum | 0240b92 | 2007-02-26 21:23:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 473 | functionality formerly known as raw_input(); the name raw_input() |
| 474 | is no longer defined. |
| 475 | |
Brett Cannon | 3959046 | 2007-02-26 22:01:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 476 | - Classes listed in an 'except' clause must inherit from BaseException. |
Brett Cannon | f74225d | 2007-02-26 21:10:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 477 | |
Guido van Rossum | cc2b016 | 2007-02-11 06:12:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 478 | - PEP 3106: dict.iterkeys(), .iteritems(), .itervalues() are now gone; |
Guido van Rossum | cf1be88 | 2007-08-30 22:07:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 479 | and .keys(), .items(), .values() return dict views, which behave |
| 480 | like sets. |
Guido van Rossum | cc2b016 | 2007-02-11 06:12:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 481 | |
Guido van Rossum | 8b54536 | 2007-02-09 23:52:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 482 | - PEP 3105: print is now a function. Also (not in the PEP) the |
| 483 | 'softspace' attribute of files is now gone (since print() doesn't use |
| 484 | it). A side effect of this change is that you can get incomplete |
| 485 | output lines in interactive sessions: |
| 486 | |
| 487 | >>> print(42, end="") |

Guido van Rossum | 4502c80 | 2007-02-09 05:42:38 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 491 | |
Brett Cannon | 398db8b | 2007-01-29 23:44:37 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 492 | - PEP 3102: keyword-only arguments. |

Guido van Rossum | d4588c1 | 2007-02-13 19:55:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 494 | - Int/Long unification is complete. The 'long' built-in type |
Guido van Rossum | ec7027f | 2007-01-30 00:00:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 495 | and literals with trailing 'L' or 'l' have been removed. |
| 496 | Performance may be sub-optimal (haven't really benchmarked). |
Guido van Rossum | ab18684 | 2007-01-14 03:42:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 497 | |
| 498 | - 'except E, V' must now be spelled as 'except E as V' and deletes V |
| 499 | at the end of the except clause; V must be a simple name. |
| 500 | |
Neal Norwitz | c150536 | 2006-12-28 06:47:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 501 | - Added function annotations per PEP 3107. |

| 506 | ... def inc(): |
| 507 | ... nonlocal x |
| 508 | ... x += 1 |
| 509 | ... return x |
| 510 | ... return inc |
| 511 | ... |
| 512 | >>> inc = f(0) |

| 520 | - exec is now a function. |
| 521 | |

Neal Norwitz | 4886cc3 | 2006-08-21 17:06:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 524 | - Classic classes are a thing of the past. All classes are new style. |
| 525 | |
| 526 | - Exceptions *must* derive from BaseException. |
| 527 | |
| 528 | - Integer division always returns a float. The -Q option is no more. |
| 529 | All the following are gone: |
| 530 | * PyNumber_Divide and PyNumber_InPlaceDivide |
| 531 | * __div__, __rdiv__, and __idiv__ |
| 532 | * nb_divide, nb_inplace_divide |
| 533 | * operator.div, operator.idiv, operator.__div__, operator.__idiv__ |
| 534 | (Only __truediv__ and __floordiv__ remain, not sure how to handle them |
| 535 | if we want to re-use __div__ and friends. If we do, it will make |
| 536 | it harder to write code for both 2.x and 3.x.) |
| 537 | |
| 538 | - 'as' and 'with' are keywords. |
| 539 | |
| 540 | - Absolute import is the default behavior for 'import foo' etc. |
| 541 | |
Neal Norwitz | 378b2c9 | 2006-08-29 07:57:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 542 | - Removed support for syntax: |

Guido van Rossum | cf1be88 | 2007-08-30 22:07:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 556 | - zip(), map() and filter() now return iterators, behaving like their |
| 557 | itertools counterparts. This also affect map()'s behavior on |
| 558 | sequences of unequal length -- it now stops after the shortest one |
| 559 | is exhausted. |
Guido van Rossum | d59da4b | 2007-05-22 18:11:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 560 | |
