Georg Brandl | bad0925 | 2010-09-05 21:29:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 5 | What's New in Python 3.2 Alpha 3? |
| 6 | ================================= |
| 7 | |
| 8 | *Release date: XX-Oct-2010* |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Core and Builtins |
| 11 | ----------------- |
| 12 | |
Victor Stinner | 1205f27 | 2010-09-11 00:54:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 13 | - Issue #9738: PyUnicode_FromFormat() and PyErr_Format() raise an error on |
| 14 | a non-ASCII byte in the format string. |
| 15 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | ba117ef | 2010-09-10 21:39:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | - Issue #4617: Previously it was illegal to delete a name from the local |
| 17 | namespace if it occurs as a free variable in a nested block. This limitation |
| 18 | of the compiler has been lifted, and a new opcode introduced (DELETE_DEREF). |
| 19 | |
Antoine Pitrou | e4a1892 | 2010-09-09 20:30:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 20 | - Issue #9804: ascii() now always represents unicode surrogate pairs as |
| 21 | a single ``\UXXXXXXXX``, regardless of whether the character is printable |
| 22 | or not. Also, the "backslashreplace" error handler now joins surrogate |
| 23 | pairs into a single character on UCS-2 builds. |
| 24 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 6e6cc83 | 2010-09-09 12:59:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 25 | - Issue #9757: memoryview objects get a release() method to release the |
| 26 | underlying buffer (previously this was only done when deallocating the |
| 27 | memoryview), and gain support for the context management protocol. |
| 28 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 079ce54 | 2010-09-08 12:37:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 29 | - Issue #9797: pystate.c wrongly assumed that zero couldn't be a valid |
| 30 | thread-local storage key. |
| 31 | |
Georg Brandl | bad0925 | 2010-09-05 21:29:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 32 | Library |
| 33 | ------- |
| 34 | |
Raymond Hettinger | dc08a14 | 2010-09-12 05:15:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 35 | - Issue #9826: OrderedDict.__repr__ can now handle self-referential |
| 36 | values: d['x'] = d. |
| 37 | |
Raymond Hettinger | fa11db0 | 2010-09-12 04:12:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 38 | - Issue #9825: Using __del__ in the definition of collections.OrderedDict made |
| 39 | it possible for the user to create self-referencing ordered dictionaries |
| 40 | which become permanently uncollectable GC garbage. Reinstated the Py3.1 |
| 41 | approach of using weakref proxies so that reference cycles never get created |
| 42 | in the first place. |
| 43 | |
Victor Stinner | cb04352 | 2010-09-10 23:49:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 44 | - Issue #9579, #9580: Fix os.confstr() for value longer than 255 bytes and |
| 45 | encode the value with filesystem encoding and surrogateescape (instead of |
Victor Stinner | 6f7b783 | 2010-09-10 23:50:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 46 | utf-8 in strict mode). Patch written by David Watson. |
Victor Stinner | cb04352 | 2010-09-10 23:49:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 47 | |
Victor Stinner | 5b519e0 | 2010-09-10 21:57:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 48 | - Issue #9632: Remove sys.setfilesystemencoding() function: use |
| 49 | PYTHONFSENCODING environment variable to set the filesystem encoding at |
| 50 | Python startup. sys.setfilesystemencoding() creates inconsistencies because |
| 51 | it is unable to reencode all filenames in all objects. |
| 52 | |
Antoine Pitrou | ea99c5c | 2010-09-09 18:33:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 53 | - Issue #9410: Various optimizations to the pickle module, leading to |
| 54 | speedups up to 4x (depending on the benchmark). Mostly ported from |
| 55 | Unladen Swallow; initial patch by Alexandre Vassalotti. |
| 56 | |
Raymond Hettinger | bad3c88 | 2010-09-09 12:31:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 57 | - The pprint module now supports printing OrderedDicts in their given |
| 58 | order (formerly, it would sort the keys). |
| 59 | |
Vinay Sajip | 121a1c4 | 2010-09-08 10:46:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 60 | - Logging: Added QueueHandler class to facilitate logging usage with |
| 61 | multiprocessing. |
| 62 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 783eea7 | 2010-09-07 22:06:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 63 | - Issue #9707: Rewritten reference implementation of threading.local which |
| 64 | is friendlier towards reference cycles. This change is not normally |
| 65 | visible since an optimized C implementation (_thread._local) is used |
| 66 | instead. |
| 67 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 4b6fdf3 | 2010-09-07 21:31:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 68 | - Issue #6394: os.getppid() is now supported on Windows. Note that it will |
| 69 | still return the id of the parent process after it has exited. This process |
| 70 | id may even have been reused by another unrelated process. |
| 71 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 4b92b5f | 2010-09-07 21:05:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 72 | - Issue #9792: In case of connection failure, socket.create_connection() |
| 73 | would swallow the exception and raise a new one, making it impossible |
| 74 | to fetch the original errno, or to filter timeout errors. Now the |
| 75 | original error is re-raised. |
| 76 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 5e38aae | 2010-09-07 16:30:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 77 | - Issue #9758: When fcntl.ioctl() was called with mutable_flag set to True, |
| 78 | and the passed buffer was exactly 1024 bytes long, the buffer wouldn't |
| 79 | be updated back after the system call. Original patch by Brian Brazil. |
| 80 | |
Raymond Hettinger | 435cb0f | 2010-09-06 23:36:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 81 | - Updates to the random module: |
| 82 | |
| 83 | * Document which parts of the module are guaranteed to stay the same |
| 84 | across versions and which parts are subject to change. |
| 85 | |
Raymond Hettinger | f763a72 | 2010-09-07 00:38:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 86 | * Update the seed() method to use all of the bits in a string |
Raymond Hettinger | 0515661 | 2010-09-07 04:44:52 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 87 | instead of just the hash value. This makes better use of the |
| 88 | seed value and assures the seeding is platform independent. |
| 89 | Issue #7889. |
| 90 | |
| 91 | * Improved the random()-->integer algorithm used in choice(), |
| 92 | shuffle(), sample(), randrange(), and randint(). Formerly, it |
| 93 | used int(n*random()) which has a slight bias whenever n is not |
| 94 | a power of two. Issue #9025. |
| 95 | |
| 96 | * Improved documentation of arguments to randrange(). Issue #9379. |
Raymond Hettinger | f763a72 | 2010-09-07 00:38:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 97 | |
Raymond Hettinger | f45abc9 | 2010-09-06 21:26:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 98 | - collections.OrderedDict now supports a new method for repositioning |
| 99 | keys to either end. |
| 100 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 4bc12ef | 2010-09-06 19:25:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 101 | - Issue #9754: Similarly to assertRaises and assertRaisesRegexp, unittest |
| 102 | test cases now also have assertWarns and assertWarnsRegexp methods to |
| 103 | check that a given warning type was triggered by the code under test. |
| 104 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 972ee13 | 2010-09-06 18:48:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 105 | - Issue #5506: BytesIO objects now have a getbuffer() method exporting a |
| 106 | view of their contents without duplicating them. The view is both readable |
| 107 | and writable. |
| 108 | |
Brian Curtin | 6285774 | 2010-09-06 17:07:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 109 | - Issue #7566: Implement os.path.sameopenfile for Windows. |
| 110 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 0d739d7 | 2010-09-05 23:01:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 111 | - Issue #9293: I/O streams now raise ``io.UnsupportedOperation`` when an |
| 112 | unsupported operation is attempted (for example, writing to a file open |
| 113 | only for reading). |
| 114 | |
Gregory P. Smith | 13b5529 | 2010-09-06 08:30:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 115 | - hashlib has two new constant attributes: algorithms_guaranteed and |
| 116 | algorithms_avaiable that respectively list the names of hash algorithms |
| 117 | guaranteed to exist in all Python implementations and the names of hash |
| 118 | algorithms available in the current process. |
| 119 | |
Benjamin Peterson | 568867a | 2010-09-11 16:02:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 120 | C-API |
| 121 | ----- |
| 122 | |
| 123 | - Issue #9834: Don't segfault in PySequence_GetSlice, PySequence_SetSlice, or |
| 124 | PySequence_DelSlice when the object doesn't have any mapping operations |
| 125 | defined. |
| 126 | |
Antoine Pitrou | b41e128 | 2010-09-08 20:57:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 127 | Tools/Demos |
| 128 | ----------- |
| 129 | |
| 130 | - Issue #9188: The gdb extension now handles correctly narrow (UCS2) as well |
| 131 | as wide (UCS4) unicode builds for both the host interpreter (embedded |
| 132 | inside gdb) and the interpreter under test. |
| 133 | |

Antoine Pitrou | 8e6b407 | 2010-09-10 19:44:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 137 | - Issue #941346: Improve the build process under AIX and allow Python to |
| 138 | be built as a shared library. Patch by Sébastien Sablé. |
| 139 | |
Antoine Pitrou | a300007 | 2010-09-07 14:52:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 140 | - Issue #4026: Make the fcntl extension build under AIX. Patch by Sébastien |
| 141 | Sablé. |

| 153 | the new (and simpler) DUP_TOP_TWO. Performance isn't changed, but our |
| 154 | bytecode is a bit simplified. Patch by Demur Rumed. |
Antoine Pitrou | 74a69fa | 2010-09-04 18:43:52 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 155 | |
Brett Cannon | ef0e6c3 | 2010-09-04 18:24:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 156 | - Issue #9766: Rename poorly named variables exposed by _warnings to prevent |
| 157 | confusion with the proper variables names from 'warnings' itself. |
| 158 | |
Georg Brandl | 649971e | 2010-09-05 17:06:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 159 | - Issue #9212: dict_keys and dict_items now provide the isdisjoint() method, to |
| 160 | conform to the Set ABC. Patch by Daniel Urban. |

Georg Brandl | 649971e | 2010-09-05 17:06:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 165 | - Issue #9549: sys.setdefaultencoding() and PyUnicode_SetDefaultEncoding() are |
| 166 | now removed, since their effect was inexistent in 3.x (the default encoding is |
| 167 | hardcoded to utf-8 and cannot be changed). |
Antoine Pitrou | fce7fd6 | 2010-09-01 18:54:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 168 | |
Antoine Pitrou | b0fa831 | 2010-09-01 15:10:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 169 | - Issue #7415: PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() now uses the new buffer API |
| 170 | properly. Patch by Stefan Behnel. |
| 171 | |
Georg Brandl | 649971e | 2010-09-05 17:06:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 172 | - Issue #5553: The Py_LOCAL_INLINE macro now results in inlining on most |

| 180 | the pyconfig.h generated by configure on other systems. |
Daniel Stutzbach | 864078a | 2010-08-25 19:18:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 181 | |

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 324ac65 | 2010-08-18 20:44:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 188 | - Issue #5127: The C functions that access the Unicode Database now accept and |
| 189 | return characters from the full Unicode range, even on narrow unicode builds |
| 190 | (Py_UNICODE_TOLOWER, Py_UNICODE_ISDECIMAL, and others). A visible difference |
| 191 | in Python is that unicodedata.numeric() now returns the correct value for |
| 192 | large code points, and repr() may consider more characters as printable. |
| 193 | |
Victor Stinner | 6c00c14 | 2010-08-17 23:37:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 194 | - Issue #9425: Create PyModule_GetFilenameObject() function to get the filename |
| 195 | as a unicode object, instead of a byte string. Function needed to support |
| 196 | unencodable filenames. Deprecate PyModule_GetFilename() in favor on the new |
| 197 | function. |

| 202 | |
Georg Brandl | 649971e | 2010-09-05 17:06:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 203 | - Issue #8202: sys.argv[0] is now set to '-m' instead of '-c' when searching for |
| 204 | the module file to be executed with the -m command line option. |

Georg Brandl | 649971e | 2010-09-05 17:06:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 206 | - Issue #9599: Create PySys_FormatStdout() and PySys_FormatStderr() functions to |
| 207 | write a message formatted by PyUnicode_FromFormatV() to sys.stdout and |
Victor Stinner | 7976663 | 2010-08-16 17:36:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 208 | sys.stderr. |

Georg Brandl | 649971e | 2010-09-05 17:06:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 211 | decode bytes objects to unicode using PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize(); str |
| 212 | objects are output as-is. |

Georg Brandl | 649971e | 2010-09-05 17:06:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 214 | - Issue #9203: Computed gotos are now enabled by default on supported compilers |
| 215 | (which are detected by the configure script). They can still be disable |
| 216 | selectively by specifying --without-computed-gotos. |
Antoine Pitrou | 042b128 | 2010-08-13 21:15:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 217 | |
Georg Brandl | 649971e | 2010-09-05 17:06:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 218 | - Issue #9425: Create PyErr_WarnFormat() function, similar to PyErr_WarnEx() but |
| 219 | use PyUnicode_FromFormatV() to format the warning message. |

| 230 | type specifier failed to match the str output: |
Mark Dickinson | 5b65df7 | 2010-08-01 10:41:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 231 | |
| 232 | - format(complex(-0.0, 2.0), '-') omitted the real part from the output, |
| 233 | - format(complex(0.0, 2.0), '-') included a sign and parentheses. |

| 2704 | ----------------- |
| 2705 | |
Mark Dickinson | 865e01a | 2009-05-07 16:37:01 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2706 | - Issue #5914: Add new C API function PyOS_string_to_double, and |
| 2707 | deprecate PyOS_ascii_strtod and PyOS_ascii_atof. |
| 2708 | |
Eric Smith | 741191f | 2009-05-06 13:08:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2709 | - Issue #3382: float.__format__, complex.__format__, and %-formatting |
| 2710 | no longer map 'F' to 'f'. Because of issue #5859 (below), this only |
| 2711 | affects nan -> NAN and inf -> INF. |
| 2712 | |
Mark Hammond | 5a607a3 | 2009-05-06 08:04:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2713 | - Issue #5799: ntpath (ie, os.path on Windows) fully supports UNC pathnames |
| 2714 | in all operations, including splitdrive, split, etc. splitunc() now issues |
| 2715 | a PendingDeprecation warning. |
| 2716 | |
Eric Smith | 6337622 | 2009-05-05 14:04:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2717 | - Issue #5920: For float.__format__, change the behavior with the |
| 2718 | empty presentation type (that is, not one of 'e', 'f', 'g', or 'n') |
| 2719 | to be like 'g' but with at least one decimal point and with a |
| 2720 | default precision of 12. Previously, the behavior the same but with |
| 2721 | a default precision of 6. This more closely matches str(), and |
| 2722 | reduces surprises when adding alignment flags to the empty |
| 2723 | presentation type. This also affects the new complex.__format__ in |
| 2724 | the same way. |
| 2725 | |

R. David Murray | b18500d | 2009-05-04 22:59:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2728 | - Issue #5890: in subclasses of 'property' the __doc__ attribute was |
| 2729 | shadowed by classtype's, even if it was None. property now |
| 2730 | inserts the __doc__ into the subclass instance __dict__. |

Martin v. Löwis | db12d45 | 2009-05-02 18:52:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2736 | |
Benjamin Peterson | d2e0c79 | 2009-05-01 20:40:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2737 | - Issue #5883: In the io module, the BufferedIOBase and TextIOBase ABCs have |
| 2738 | received a new method, detach(). detach() disconnects the underlying stream |
| 2739 | from the buffer or text IO and returns it. |
| 2740 | |
Mark Dickinson | 33841c3 | 2009-05-01 15:37:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2741 | - Issue #5859: Remove switch from '%f' to '%g'-style formatting for |
| 2742 | floats with absolute value over 1e50. Also remove length |
| 2743 | restrictions for float formatting: '%.67f' % 12.34 and '%.120e' % |
| 2744 | 12.34 no longer raise an exception. |
Mark Dickinson | f489caf | 2009-05-01 11:42:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2745 | |
Eric Smith | 741191f | 2009-05-06 13:08:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2746 | - Issue #1588: Add complex.__format__. For example, |
Eric Smith | 58a4224 | 2009-04-30 01:00:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2747 | format(complex(1, 2./3), '.5') now produces a sensible result. |

| 2756 | |
Martin v. Löwis | 71efeb7 | 2009-04-26 01:02:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2757 | - Issue #4971: Fix titlecase for characters that are their own |
| 2758 | titlecase, but not their own uppercase. |
| 2759 | |
Benjamin Peterson | 193152c | 2009-04-25 01:08:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2760 | - Issue #5283: Setting __class__ in __del__ caused a segfault. |
| 2761 | |
Mark Dickinson | ad476da | 2009-04-23 19:14:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2762 | - Issue #5816: complex(repr(z)) now recovers z exactly, even when |
| 2763 | z involves nans, infs or negative zeros. |
| 2764 | |
Mark Dickinson | 4a16e3a | 2009-04-23 19:15:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2765 | - Issue #3166: Make int -> float conversions correctly rounded. |
Mark Dickinson | c630039 | 2009-04-20 21:38:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2766 | |
Mark Dickinson | e6a076d | 2009-04-18 11:48:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2767 | - Issue #1869 (and many duplicates): make round(x, n) correctly |
| 2768 | rounded for a float x, by using the decimal <-> binary conversions |
| 2769 | from Python/dtoa.c. As a consequence, (e.g.) round(x, 2) now |
| 2770 | consistently agrees with format(x, '.2f'). |
| 2771 | |
Benjamin Peterson | ae937c0 | 2009-04-18 20:54:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2772 | - Issue #5787: object.__getattribute__(some_type, "__bases__") segfaulted on |
| 2773 | some builtin types. |
| 2774 | |
Eric Smith | 0923d1d | 2009-04-16 20:16:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2775 | - Issue #5772: format(1e100, '<') produces '1e+100', not '1.0e+100'. |
| 2776 | |
Eric Smith | 35e8472 | 2009-04-16 20:21:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2777 | - Issue #5515: str.format() type 'n' combined with commas and leading |
| 2778 | zeros no longer gives odd results with ints and floats. |
Eric Smith | 0923d1d | 2009-04-16 20:16:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2779 | |
| 2780 | - Implement PEP 378, Format Specifier for Thousands Separator, for |
| 2781 | floats. |
| 2782 | |
Mark Dickinson | 3370cce | 2009-04-17 22:40:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2783 | - The str function switches to exponential notation at |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2784 | 1e11, not 1e12. This avoids printing 13 significant digits in |
| 2785 | situations where only 12 of them are correct. Example problem |
| 2786 | value: str(1e11 + 0.5). (This minor issue has existed in 2.x for a |
| 2787 | long time.) |
| 2788 | |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2789 | - Issue #1580: On most platforms, use a 'short' float repr: for a |
| 2790 | finite float x, repr(x) now outputs a string based on the shortest |
| 2791 | sequence of decimal digits that rounds to x. Previous behaviour was |
| 2792 | to output 17 significant digits and then strip trailing zeros. |
Mark Dickinson | 3370cce | 2009-04-17 22:40:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2793 | Another minor difference is that the new repr switches to |
| 2794 | exponential notation at 1e16 instead of the previous 1e17; this |
| 2795 | avoids misleading output in some cases. |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2796 | |
| 2797 | There's a new sys attribute sys.float_repr_style, which takes |
| 2798 | the value 'short' to indicate that we're using short float repr, |
| 2799 | and 'legacy' if the short float repr isn't available for one |
| 2800 | reason or another. |
| 2801 | |
| 2802 | The float repr change involves incorporating David Gay's 'perfect |
| 2803 | rounding' code into the Python core (it's in Python/dtoa.c). As a |
| 2804 | secondary consequence, all string-to-float and float-to-string |
| 2805 | conversions (including all float formatting operations) will be |
| 2806 | correctly rounded on these platforms. |
| 2807 | |

Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2809 | this change does not apply. |
| 2810 | |
Benjamin Peterson | 2808d3c | 2009-04-15 21:34:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2811 | - Issue #5759: float() didn't call __float__ on str subclasses. |
| 2812 | |
Georg Brandl | abc3877 | 2009-04-12 15:51:51 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2813 | - The string.maketrans() function is deprecated; there is a new static method |
| 2814 | maketrans() on the bytes and bytearray classes. This removes confusion about |
| 2815 | the types string.maketrans() is supposed to work with, and mirrors the |
| 2816 | methods available on the str class. |
| 2817 | |

Walter Dörwald | 8dc33d5 | 2009-05-06 14:41:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2824 | - Issue #3739: The unicode-internal encoder now reports the number of characters |
| 2825 | consumed like any other encoder (instead of the number of bytes). |
