PyInterpreterState_New() is now responsible to create pending calls,
PyInterpreterState_Delete() now deletes pending calls.
* Rename _PyEval_InitThreads() to _PyEval_InitGIL() and rename
_PyEval_InitGIL() to _PyEval_FiniGIL().
* _PyEval_InitState() and PyEval_FiniState() now create and delete
pending calls. _PyEval_InitState() now returns -1 on memory
allocation failure.
* Add init_interp_create_gil() helper function: code shared by
Py_NewInterpreter() and Py_InitializeFromConfig().
* init_interp_create_gil() now also calls _PyEval_FiniGIL(),
_PyEval_InitGIL() and _PyGILState_Init() in subinterpreters, but
these functions now do nothing when called from a subinterpreter.
Always declare PyIndex_Check() as an opaque function to hide
implementation details: remove PyIndex_Check() macro. The macro
accessed directly the PyTypeObject.tp_as_number member.
Add _PyIndex_Check() function to the internal C API: fast inlined
verson of PyIndex_Check().
Add Include/internal/pycore_abstract.h header file.
Replace PyIndex_Check() with _PyIndex_Check() in C files of Objects
and Python subdirectories.
PyType_HasFeature() now always calls PyType_GetFlags() to hide
implementation details. Previously, it accessed directly the
PyTypeObject.tp_flags member when the limited C API was not used.
Add fast inlined version _PyType_HasFeature() and _PyType_IS_GC()
for object.c and typeobject.c.
The PyObject_NEW() macro becomes an alias to the PyObject_New()
macro, and the PyObject_NEW_VAR() macro becomes an alias to the
PyObject_NewVar() macro, to hide implementation details. They no
longer access directly the PyTypeObject.tp_basicsize member.
Exclude _PyObject_SIZE() and _PyObject_VAR_SIZE() macros from
the limited C API.
Replace PyObject_NEW() with PyObject_New() and replace
PyObject_NEW_VAR() with PyObject_NewVar().
Add a private _at_fork_reinit() method to _thread.Lock,
_thread.RLock, threading.RLock and threading.Condition classes:
reinitialize the lock after fork in the child process; reset the lock
to the unlocked state.
Rename also the private _reset_internal_locks() method of
threading.Event to _at_fork_reinit().
* Add _PyThread_at_fork_reinit() private function. It is excluded
from the limited C API.
* threading.Thread._reset_internal_locks() now calls
_at_fork_reinit() on self._tstate_lock rather than creating a new
Python lock object.
This implements things like `list[int]`,
which returns an object of type `types.GenericAlias`.
This object mostly acts as a proxy for `list`,
but has attributes `__origin__` and `__args__`
that allow recovering the parts (with values `list` and `(int,)`.
There is also an approximate notion of type variables;
e.g. `list[T]` has a `__parameters__` attribute equal to `(T,)`.
Type variables are objects of type `typing.TypeVar`.
str.encode() and str.decode() no longer check the encoding and errors
in development mode or in debug mode during Python finalization. The
codecs machinery can no longer work on very late calls to
str.encode() and str.decode().
This change should help to call _PyObject_Dump() to debug during late
Python finalization.
Convert the PyObject_GET_WEAKREFS_LISTPTR() macro to a function to
hide implementation details: the macro accessed directly to the
PyTypeObject.tp_weaklistoffset member.
Add _PyObject_GET_WEAKREFS_LISTPTR() static inline function to the
internal C API.
test_builtin.PtyTests now registers an handler for SIGHUP signal.
Closing the PTY file descriptor can emit a SIGHUP signal: just ignore
it.
run_child() now also closes the PTY file descriptor before waiting
for the process completition, otherwise the test hangs on AIX.
There are two copies of the grammar -- the one used by Python itself as
Grammar/Grammar, and the one used by lib2to3 which has necessarily diverged at
Lib/lib2to3/Grammar.txt because it needs to support older syntax an we want it
to be reasonable stable to avoid requiring fixer rewrites.
This brings suport for syntax like `if x:= foo():` to match what the live
Python grammar does.
This should've been added at the time of the walrus operator itself, but lib2to3 being
independent is often overlooked. So we do consider this a bugfix rather than enhancement.
CGIHTTPRequestHandler of http.server now logs the CGI script exit
code, rather than the CGI script exit status of os.waitpid().
For example, if the script is killed by signal 11, it now logs:
"CGI script exit code -11."
The AbstractBasicAuthHandler class of the urllib.request module uses
an inefficient regular expression which can be exploited by an
attacker to cause a denial of service. Fix the regex to prevent the
catastrophic backtracking. Vulnerability reported by Ben Caller
and Matt Schwager.
AbstractBasicAuthHandler of urllib.request now parses all
WWW-Authenticate HTTP headers and accepts multiple challenges per
header: use the realm of the first Basic challenge.
