See [PEP 597](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0597/).
* Add `-X warn_default_encoding` and `PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING`.
* Add EncodingWarning
* Add io.text_encoding()
* open(), TextIOWrapper() emits EncodingWarning when encoding is omitted and warn_default_encoding is enabled.
* _pyio.TextIOWrapper() uses UTF-8 as fallback default encoding used when failed to import locale module. (used during building Python)
* bz2, configparser, gzip, lzma, pathlib, tempfile modules use io.text_encoding().
* What's new entry
Pass the current interpreter (interp) rather than the current Python
thread state (tstate) to internal functions which only use the
interpreter.
Modified functions:
* _PyXXX_Fini() and _PyXXX_ClearFreeList() functions
* _PyEval_SignalAsyncExc(), make_pending_calls()
* _PySys_GetObject(), sys_set_object(), sys_set_object_id(), sys_set_object_str()
* should_audit(), set_flags_from_config(), make_flags()
* _PyAtExit_Call()
* init_stdio_encoding()
* etc.
Fix _PyConfig_Read() if compute_path_config=0: use values set by
Py_SetPath(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_SetProgramName(). Add
compute_path_config parameter to _PyConfig_InitPathConfig().
The following functions now return NULL if called before
Py_Initialize():
* Py_GetExecPrefix()
* Py_GetPath()
* Py_GetPrefix()
* Py_GetProgramFullPath()
* Py_GetProgramName()
* Py_GetPythonHome()
These functions no longer automatically computes the Python Path
Configuration. Moreover, Py_SetPath() no longer computes
program_full_path.
The path configuration is now computed in the "main" initialization.
The core initialization no longer computes it.
* Add _PyConfig_Read() function to read the configuration without
computing the path configuration.
* pyinit_core() no longer computes the path configuration: it is now
computed by init_interp_main().
* The path configuration output members of PyConfig are now optional:
* executable
* base_executable
* prefix
* base_prefix
* exec_prefix
* base_exec_prefix
* _PySys_UpdateConfig() now skips NULL strings in PyConfig.
* _testembed: Rename test_set_config() to test_init_set_config() for
consistency with other tests.
The PyConfig_Read() function now only parses PyConfig.argv arguments
once: PyConfig.parse_argv is set to 2 after arguments are parsed.
Since Python arguments are strippped from PyConfig.argv, parsing
arguments twice would parse the application options as Python
options.
* Rework the PyConfig documentation.
* Fix _testinternalcapi.set_config() error handling.
* SetConfigTests no longer needs parse_argv=0 when restoring the old
configuration.
* Inline _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig(): replace it with
_PyConfig_Copy().
* Add _PyErr_SetFromPyStatus()
* Add _PyInterpreterState_GetConfigCopy()
* Add a new _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig() function.
* Add an unit which gets, modifies, and sets the config.
Enhance the documentation of the Python startup, filesystem encoding
and error handling, locale encoding. Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode"
section.
* Add "locale encoding" and "filesystem encoding and error handler"
to the glossary
* Remove documentation from Include/cpython/initconfig.h: move it to
Doc/c-api/init_config.rst.
* Doc/c-api/init_config.rst:
* Document command line options and environment variables
* Document default values.
* Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode" section in Doc/library/os.rst.
* Add warnings to Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() docs.
* Document how Python selects the filesystem encoding and error
handler at a single place: PyConfig.filesystem_encoding and
PyConfig.filesystem_errors.
* PyConfig: move orig_argv member at the right place.
If the nl_langinfo(CODESET) function returns an empty string, Python
now uses UTF-8 as the filesystem encoding.
In May 2010 (commit b744ba1d14), I
modified Python to log a warning and use UTF-8 as the filesystem
encoding (instead of None) if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty
string.
In August 2020 (commit 94908bbc15), I
modified Python startup to fail with a fatal error and a specific
error message if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty string. The
intent was to prevent guessing the encoding and also investigate user
configuration where this case happens.
In 10 years (2010 to 2020), I saw zero user report about the error
message related to nl_langinfo(CODESET) returning an empty string.
Today, UTF-8 became the defacto standard and it's safe to make the
assumption that the user expects UTF-8. For example,
nl_langinfo(CODESET) can return an empty string on macOS if the
LC_CTYPE locale is not supported, and UTF-8 is the default encoding
on macOS.
While this change is likely to not affect anyone in practice, it
should make UTF-8 lover happy ;-)
Rewrite also the documentation explaining how Python selects the
filesystem encoding and error handler.
* Rename _Py_GetLocaleEncoding() to _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject()
* Add _Py_GetLocaleEncoding() which returns a wchar_t* string to
share code between _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject()
and config_get_locale_encoding().
* _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject() now decodes nl_langinfo(CODESET)
from the current locale encoding with surrogateescape,
rather than using UTF-8.
_io.TextIOWrapper no longer calls getpreferredencoding(False) of
_bootlocale to get the locale encoding, but calls
_Py_GetLocaleEncoding() instead.
Add config_get_fs_encoding() sub-function. Reorganize also
config_get_locale_encoding() code.
Fix GCC 9.3 (using -O3) warnings on x86:
initconfig.c: In function ‘init_dump_ascii_wstr’:
initconfig.c:2679:34: warning: format ‘%lc’ expects argument of type
‘wint_t’, but argument 2 has type ‘wchar_t’ {aka ‘long int’}
2679 | PySys_WriteStderr("%lc", ch);

initconfig.c:2686:38: warning: format ‘%x’ expects argument of type

2686 | PySys_WriteStderr("\\U%08x", ch);
initconfig.c:2690:38: warning: format ‘%x’ expects argument of type

Add sys.orig_argv attribute: the list of the original command line
arguments passed to the Python executable.
Rename also PyConfig._orig_argv to PyConfig.orig_argv and
document it.
This commit removes the old parser, the deprecated parser module, the old parser compatibility flags and environment variables and all associated support code and documentation.
Export explicitly the Py_GetArgcArgv() function to the C API and
document the function. Previously, it was exported implicitly which
no longer works since Python is built with -fvisibility=hidden.
* Add PyConfig._orig_argv member.
* Py_InitializeFromConfig() no longer calls _PyConfig_Write() twice.
* PyConfig_Read() no longer initializes Py_GetArgcArgv(): it is now
_PyConfig_Write() responsibility.
* _PyConfig_Write() result type becomes PyStatus instead of void.
* Write an unit test on Py_GetArgcArgv().
An isolated subinterpreter cannot spawn threads, spawn a child
process or call os.fork().
* Add private _Py_NewInterpreter(isolated_subinterpreter) function.
* Add isolated=True keyword-only parameter to
_xxsubinterpreters.create().
* Allow again os.fork() in "non-isolated" subinterpreters.
* Rename PyConfig.use_peg to _use_peg_parser
* Document PyConfig._use_peg_parser and mark it a deprecated
* Mark -X oldparser option and PYTHONOLDPARSER env var as deprecated
in the documentation.
* Add use_old_parser() and skip_if_new_parser() to test.support
* Remove sys.flags.use_peg: use_old_parser() uses
_testinternalcapi.get_configs() instead.
* Enhance test_embed tests
* subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() copies -X oldparser
Don't access PyInterpreterState.config member directly anymore, but
use new functions:
* _PyInterpreterState_GetConfig()
* _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig()
* _Py_GetConfig()
* bpo-22490: Remove "__PYVENV_LAUNCHER__" from the shell environment on macOS
This changeset removes the environment varialbe "__PYVENV_LAUNCHER__"
during interpreter launch as it is only needed to communicate between
the stub executable in framework installs and the actual interpreter.
Leaving the environment variable present may lead to misbehaviour when
launching other scripts.
* Actually commit the changes for issue 22490...
* Correct typo

Replace _PyInterpreterState_Get() function call with
_PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE() macro which is more efficient but
don't check if tstate or interp is NULL.
_Py_GetConfigsAsDict() now uses _PyThreadState_GET().
In Python 3.9.0a1, sys.argv[0] was made an asolute path if a filename
was specified on the command line. Revert this change, since most
users expect sys.argv to be unmodified.
For now, we'll rely on the fact that the config structures aren't covered by the stable ABI.
We may revisit this in the future if we further explore the idea of offering a stable embedding API.
(cherry picked from commit bdace21b76)
Fix warnings options priority: PyConfig.warnoptions has the highest
priority, as stated in the PEP 587.
* Document options order in PyConfig.warnoptions documentation.
* Make PyWideStringList_INIT macro private: replace "Py" prefix
with "_Py".
* test_embed: add test_init_warnoptions().
Add a new struct_size field to PyPreConfig and PyConfig structures to
allow to modify these structures in the future without breaking the
backward compatibility.
* Replace private _config_version field with public struct_size field
in PyPreConfig and PyConfig.
* Public PyPreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig() and
PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
return type becomes PyStatus, instead of void.
* Internal _PyConfig_InitCompatConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitCompatConfig(), _PyPreConfig_InitFromConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitFromPreConfig() return type becomes PyStatus,
instead of void.
* Remove _Py_CONFIG_VERSION
* Update the Initialization Configuration documentation.
PyConfig_Read() is now responsible to handle early calls to
PySys_AddXOption() and PySys_AddWarnOption().
Options added by PySys_AddXOption() are now handled the same way than
PyConfig.xoptions and command line -X options.
For example, PySys_AddXOption(L"faulthandler") enables faulthandler
as expected.
