|
|
|
Core and Builtins
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
- Issue #24848: Fixed a number of bugs in UTF-7 decoding of misformed data.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #25280: Import trace messages emitted in verbose (-v) mode are no
|
|
longer formatted twice.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #25003: os.urandom() doesn't use getentropy() on Solaris because
|
|
getentropy() is blocking, whereas os.urandom() should not block. getentropy()
|
|
is supported since Solaris 11.3.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #25182: The stdprinter (used as sys.stderr before the io module is
|
|
imported at startup) now uses the backslashreplace error handler.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #24891: Fix a race condition at Python startup if the file descriptor
|
|
of stdin (0), stdout (1) or stderr (2) is closed while Python is creating
|
|
sys.stdin, sys.stdout and sys.stderr objects. These attributes are now set
|
|
to None if the creation of the object failed, instead of raising an OSError
|
|
exception. Initial patch written by Marco Paolini.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #21167: NAN operations are now handled correctly when python is
|
|
compiled with ICC even if -fp-model strict is not specified.

|
Patch by Martin Panter.
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
- Issue #23309: Avoid a deadlock at shutdown if a daemon thread is aborted
|
|
while it is holding a lock to a buffered I/O object, and the main thread
|
|
tries to use the same I/O object (typically stdout or stderr). A fatal
|
|
error is emitted instead.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #22977: Fixed formatting Windows error messages on Wine.
|
|
Patch by Martin Panter.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #23803: Fixed str.partition() and str.rpartition() when a separator

Library
|
|
-------
|

|
|
first question mark (?) rather than the last. Patch from Xiang Zhang.
|
|
|
|

|
|
query part of the URL as if it were a path. Patch from Xiang Zhang.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #22958: Constructor and update method of weakref.WeakValueDictionary
|
|
now accept the self and the dict keyword arguments.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #22609: Constructor of collections.UserDict now accepts the self keyword
|
|
argument.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #25262. Added support for BINBYTES8 opcode in Python implementation of
|
|
unpickler. Highest 32 bits of 64-bit size for BINUNICODE8 and BINBYTES8
|
|
opcodes no longer silently ignored on 32-bit platforms in C implementation.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #25034: Fix string.Formatter problem with auto-numbering and
|
|
nested format_specs. Patch by Anthon van der Neut.
|
|

|
|
asyncio.Semaphore to be more understandable and correct.

|
|
|

|
|
avoid compatibility shims.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #23517: Fix rounding in fromtimestamp() and utcfromtimestamp() methods
|
|
of datetime.datetime: microseconds are now rounded to nearest with ties
|
|
going to nearest even integer (ROUND_HALF_EVEN), instead of being rounding
|
|
towards zero (ROUND_DOWN). It's important that these methods use the same
|
|
rounding mode than datetime.timedelta to keep the property:
|
|
(datetime(1970,1,1) + timedelta(seconds=t)) == datetime.utcfromtimestamp(t).
|
|
It also the rounding mode used by round(float) for example.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #24684: socket.socket.getaddrinfo() now calls
|
|
PyUnicode_AsEncodedString() instead of calling the encode() method of the
|
|
host, to handle correctly custom string with an encode() method which doesn't
|
|
return a byte string. The encoder of the IDNA codec is now called directly
|
|
instead of calling the encode() method of the string.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #24982: shutil.make_archive() with the "zip" format now adds entries
|
|
for directories (including empty directories) in ZIP file.
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
in an infinite loop. Patch by Xavier de Gaye.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #21112: Fix regression in unittest.expectedFailure on subclasses.
|
|
Patch from Berker Peksag.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #24931: Instances of subclasses of namedtuples have their own __dict__
|
|
which breaks the inherited __dict__ property and breaks the _asdict() method.
|
|
Removed the __dict__ property to prevent the conflict and fixed _asdict().
|
|
|
|
- Issue #24764: cgi.FieldStorage.read_multi() now ignores the Content-Length
|
|
header in part headers. Patch written by Peter Landry and reviewed by Pierre

What's New in Python 3.4.2rc1?
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Release date: 2014-09-22
|
|
|
|
Core and Builtins
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
- Issue #22258: Fix the the internal function set_inheritable() on Illumos.
|
|
This platform exposes the function ``ioctl(FIOCLEX)``, but calling it fails
|
|
with errno is ENOTTY: "Inappropriate ioctl for device". set_inheritable()
|
|
now falls back to the slower ``fcntl()`` (``F_GETFD`` and then ``F_SETFD``).
|
|
|
|
- Issue #21669: With the aid of heuristics in SyntaxError.__init__, the
|
|
parser now attempts to generate more meaningful (or at least more search
|
|
engine friendly) error messages when "exec" and "print" are used as
|
|
statements.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #21642: If the conditional if-else expression, allow an integer written
|
|
with no space between itself and the ``else`` keyword (e.g. ``True if 42else
|
|
False``) to be valid syntax.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #21523: Fix over-pessimistic computation of the stack effect of
|
|
some opcodes in the compiler. This also fixes a quadratic compilation
|
|
time issue noticeable when compiling code with a large number of "and"
|
|
and "or" operators.
|
|
|
|
Library
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- Issue #21091: Fix API bug: email.message.EmailMessage.is_attachment is now
|
|
a method. Since EmailMessage is provisional, we can change the API in a
|
|
maintenance release, but we use a trick to remain backward compatible with
|
|
3.4.0/1.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #21079: Fix email.message.EmailMessage.is_attachment to return the
|
|
correct result when the header has parameters as well as a value.

|
|
empty string or tuple argument.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #21951: Tkinter now most likely raises MemoryError instead of crash

|
|
canvas can now be grabbed and dragged with a mouse. The code text pane can

can be widened on small screens. Original patches by Jan Kanis and Lita Cho.

shrunk. Original patches by Jan Kanis and Lita Cho.

Core and Builtins
|
|
-----------------
|
|

|
|
Library
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20710: The pydoc summary line no longer displays the "self" parameter
|
|
for bound methods.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20566: Change asyncio.as_completed() to use a Queue, to
|
|
avoid O(N**2) behavior.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20704: Implement new debug API in asyncio. Add new methods
|
|
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()
|
|
to consider pausing receiving if the watermark limits have changed;
|
|
fix _check_resolved_address() for IPv6 address; and other minor
|
|
improvements, along with multiple documentation updates.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20684: Fix inspect.getfullargspec() to not to follow __wrapped__

chains. Make its behaviour consistent with bound methods first argument.
|
|
Patch by Nick Coghlan and Yury Selivanov.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20681: Add new error handling API in asyncio. New APIs:
|
|
loop.set_exception_handler(), loop.default_exception_handler(), and
|
|
loop.call_exception_handler().
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20673: Implement support for UNIX Domain Sockets in asyncio.
|
|
New APIs: loop.create_unix_connection(), loop.create_unix_server(),
|
|
streams.open_unix_connection(), and streams.start_unix_server().
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20616: Add a format() method to tracemalloc.Traceback.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #19744: the ensurepip installation step now just prints a warning to
|
|
stderr rather than failing outright if SSL/TLS is unavailable. This allows
|
|
local installation of POSIX builds without SSL/TLS support.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20594: Avoid name clash with the libc function posix_close.
|
|
|

|
|
|
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
|
|
readline() or read(size). Based on patch by Amaury Forgeot d'Arc.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20105: the codec exception chaining now correctly sets the
|
|
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 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.
|
|
|
|
- Update the python.gif icon for the Idle classbrowser and pathbowser
|
|
from the old green snake to the new blue and yellow snakes.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #17721: Remove non-functional configuration dialog help button until we
|
|

|
|
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
|
|
http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler. Patch by Nikolaus Rath.

|
|
|
|
- Issue #20243: TarFile no longer raise ReadError when opened in write mode.

|
|
|
- Issue #20238: TarFile opened with external fileobj and "w:gz" mode didn't
|
|
write complete output on close.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20245: The open functions in the tarfile module now correctly handle
|
|
empty mode.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20242: Fixed basicConfig() format strings for the alternative
|
|
formatting styles. Thanks to kespindler for the bug report and patch.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20246: Fix buffer overflow in socket.recvfrom_into.
|
|
|
|
- Issues #20206 and #5803: Fix edge case in email.quoprimime.encode where it
|
|
truncated lines ending in a character needing encoding but no newline by
|
|
using a more efficient algorithm that doesn't have the bug.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #19082: Working xmlrpc.server and xmlrpc.client examples. Both in
|
|
modules and in documentation. Initial patch contributed by Vajrasky Kok.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #20138: The wsgiref.application_uri() and wsgiref.request_uri()
|
|
functions now conform to PEP 3333 when handle non-ASCII URLs.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #19097: Raise the correct Exception when cgi.FieldStorage is given an
|
|
invalid fileobj.
|
|

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.
|
|

|
|
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
|

|
|
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 #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 #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

|
|
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

|
|
|

|
|
if the FD is closed (as long as it was registered).

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 #19466: Clear the frames of daemon threads earlier during the
|
|
Python shutdown to call objects destructors. So "unclosed file" resource
|
|
warnings are now corretly emitted for daemon threads.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #19514: Deduplicate some _Py_IDENTIFIER declarations.
|
|
Patch by Andrei Dorian Duma.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #17936: Fix O(n**2) behaviour when adding or removing many subclasses
|
|
of a given type.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #19428: zipimport now handles errors when reading truncated or invalid
|
|
ZIP archive.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #18408: Add a new PyFrame_FastToLocalsWithError() function to handle
|
|
exceptions when merging fast locals into f_locals of a frame.
|
|
PyEval_GetLocals() now raises an exception and return NULL on failure.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #19369: Optimized the usage of __length_hint__().
|
|
|
|
- Issue #18603: Ensure that PyOS_mystricmp and PyOS_mystrnicmp are in the
|
|
Python executable and not removed by the linker's optimizer.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #19306: Add extra hints to the faulthandler module's stack
|
|
dumps that these are "upside down".
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
- Issue #19673: Add pathlib to the stdlib as a provisional module (PEP 428).
|
|
|
|
- Issue #16596: pdb in a generator now properly skips over yield and

|
|
|

|
|
dis.Bytecode.current_offset to easily display "current instruction"

|
|
|
|
- Issue #19552: venv now supports bootstrapping pip into virtual environments
|
|
|
|
- Issue #17134: Finalize interface to Windows' certificate store. Cert and
|
|
CRL enumeration are now two functions. enum_certificates() also returns
|
|
purpose flags as set of OIDs.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #19555: Restore sysconfig.get_config_var('SO'), (and the distutils
|
|
equivalent) with a DeprecationWarning pointing people at $EXT_SUFFIX.
|
|

|
|
module supports digestmod names, e.g. hmac.HMAC('sha1').

|
|
in bin directories for all configurations: non-framework vs framework,
|
|
and single arch vs universal builds. pythonx.y-32 is now always
|
|
installed for 64-bit/32-bit universal builds. The obsolete and
|
|
undocumented pythonw* symlinks are no longer installed anywhere.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #19553: PEP 453 - "make install" and "make altinstall" now install or
|
|
upgrade pip by default, using the bundled pip provided by the new ensurepip
|
|
module. A new configure option, --with-ensurepip[=upgrade|install|no], is
|
|
available to override the default ensurepip "--upgrade" option. The option
|
|
can also be set with "make [alt]install ENSUREPIP=[upgrade|install\no]".

What's New in Python 3.4.0 Alpha 4?
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Release date: 2013-10-20
|
|
|
|
Core and Builtins
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
- 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 #19221: Upgrade Unicode database to version 6.3.0.
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
- Issue #19078: memoryview now correctly supports the reversed builtin
|

|
|
|
- Issue #19262: Initial check in of the 'asyncio' package (a.k.a. Tulip,

|
|
and groups() methods of match object now always return a string or a bytes
|
|
object.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #18725: The textwrap module now supports truncating multiline text.

|
|
often.

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Issue #10712: 2to3 has a new "asserts" fixer that replaces deprecated names

|
|
|

|
when necessary. Patch by Oscar Benjamin.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #5845: In site.py, only load readline history from ~/.python_history
|
|
if no history has been read already. This avoids double writes to the

|
|
|
- Issue #14499: Fix several problems with OS X universal build support:
|
|
1. ppc arch detection for extension module builds broke with Xcode 5
|
|
2. ppc arch detection in configure did not work on OS X 10.4
|
|
3. -sysroot and -arch flags were unnecessarily duplicated
|
|
4. there was no obvious way to configure an intel-32 only build.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #19019: Change the OS X installer build script to use CFLAGS instead
|
|
of OPT for special build options. By setting OPT, some compiler-specific
|
|
options like -fwrapv were overridden and thus not used, which could result
|
|
in broken interpreters when building with clang.

|
|

|
|
Library
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- Issue #15882: Change `_decimal` to accept any coefficient tuple when

What's New in Python 3.3.0 Release Candidate 2?
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: 09-Sep-2012*
|
|
|
|
Core and Builtins
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
- Issue #13992: The trashcan mechanism is now thread-safe. This eliminates
|
|
sporadic crashes in multi-thread programs when several long deallocator chains
|
|
ran concurrently and involved subclasses of built-in container types.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #15784: Modify `OSError`.__str__() to better distinguish between errno
|
|
error numbers and Windows error numbers.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #15781: Fix two small race conditions in import's module locking.
|
|
|
|
Library
|
|
-------
|
|
|

- Issue #17158: Add 'symbols' to help() welcome message; clarify
|
|
'modules spam' messages.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #15847: Fix a regression in argparse, which did not accept tuples as
|
|
argument lists anymore.
|

|
|
opened. This was a regression caused by the hash randomization patch.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #10650: Deprecate the watchexp parameter of the `Decimal.quantize()`
|
|
method.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #15785: Modify `window.get_wch()` API of the curses module: return a
|
|
character for most keys, and an integer for special keys, instead of always
|
|
returning an integer. So it is now possible to distinguish special keys like
|
|
keypad keys.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #14223: Fix `window.addch()` of the curses module for special characters
|
|
like curses.ACS_HLINE: the Python function addch(int) and addch(bytes) is now
|
|
calling the C function waddch()/mvwaddch() (as it was done in Python 3.2),
|
|
instead of wadd_wch()/mvwadd_wch(). The Python function addch(str) is still
|
|
calling the C function wadd_wch()/mvwadd_wch() if the Python curses is linked
|
|
to libncursesw.

|
- Issue #15814: The memoryview enhancements in 3.3.0 accidentally permitted the
|

|
|
formats. The intended restrictions have now been documented - they will be
|
|
correctly enforced in 3.3.1.

|
|
'Optional Operating System Services' section to use a more user-centric
|
|
classification scheme (splitting them across the new CE section, IPC and text

processing). Operating system limitations can be reflected with the Sphinx

|
|
test_posix.py to account for this.

|
|
external hosts that have been configured specifically for this type of test.

|
|
|
- Pick up 32-bit launcher from PGO directory on 64-bit PGO build.

configuration.

|
|
able to decode a command-line argument.

|
|
preserve all 64 bits of hash on Win64.

|
- Issue #12268: File readline, readlines and read() or readall() methods
|
|

|
|
from within these methods.

|
locale encoding using locale.setlocale(), use the current locale encoding
|
|

Tests
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
- Issue #15187: Bugfix: remove temporary directories test_shutil was leaving
|
|
behind.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #14769: test_capi now has SkipitemTest, which cleverly checks
|
|
for "parity" between PyArg_ParseTuple() and the Python/getargs.c static
|
|
function skipitem() for all possible "format units".
|
|
|
|
- test_nntplib now tolerates being run from behind NNTP gateways that add
|
|
"X-Antivirus" headers to articles
|
|
|
|
- Issue #15043: test_gdb is now skipped entirely if gdb security settings
|
|
block loading of the gdb hooks
|
|
|
|
- Issue #14963: Add test cases for exception handling behaviour
|
|
in contextlib.ExitStack (Initial patch by Alon Horev)
|
|
|
|
Build
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
- Issue #13590: Improve support for OS X Xcode 4:
|
|
* Try to avoid building Python or extension modules with problematic
|
|
llvm-gcc compiler.
|
|
* Since Xcode 4 removes ppc support, extension module builds now
|
|
check for ppc compiler support and automatically remove ppc and
|
|
ppc64 archs when not available.
|
|
* Since Xcode 4 no longer install SDKs in default locations,
|
|
extension module builds now revert to using installed headers
|
|
and libs if the SDK used to build the interpreter is not
|
|
available.
|
|
* Update ./configure to use better defaults for universal builds;
|
|
in particular, --enable-universalsdk=yes uses the Xcode default
|
|
SDK and --with-universal-archs now defaults to "intel" if ppc
|
|
not available.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #14225: Fix Unicode support for curses (#12567) on OS X
|
|
|
|
- Issue #14928: Fix importlib bootstrap issues by using a custom executable
|
|
(Modules/_freeze_importlib) to build Python/importlib.h.

|
Core and Builtins

|
|
(other than a bytes object).
|
|
|
|
- Issue #13521: dict.setdefault() now does only one lookup for the given key,
|
|
making it "atomic" for many purposes. Patch by Filip Gruszczyński.
|
|
|
|
- PEP 409, Issue #6210: "raise X from None" is now supported as a means of
|
|
suppressing the display of the chained exception context. The chained
|
|
context still remains available as the __context__ attribute.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #10181: New memoryview implementation fixes multiple ownership
|
|
and lifetime issues of dynamically allocated Py_buffer members (#9990)
|
|
as well as crashes (#8305, #7433). Many new features have been added
|
|
(See whatsnew/3.3), and the documentation has been updated extensively.
|
|
The ndarray test object from _testbuffer.c implements all aspects of
|
|
PEP-3118, so further development towards the complete implementation
|
|
of the PEP can proceed in a test-driven manner.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Nick Coghlan, Antoine Pitrou and Pauli Virtanen for review
|
|
and many ideas.

|
|
bad encoding.
|
|

|
|
staticmethod.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Issue #8052: The posix subprocess module would take a long time closing
|
|
all possible file descriptors in the child process rather than just open
|
|
file descriptors. It now closes only the open fds if possible for the
|
|
default close_fds=True behavior.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #13629: Renumber the tokens in token.h so that they match the indexes
|
|
into _PyParser_TokenNames.
|
|
|
|

|
|
used to ensure flushing the output stream.

|
|
|

|
code, to avoid timestamp collisions (especially on filesystems with a low
|

|
|

|
|
pickle protocol >= 3. The old reduction format is kept with older protocols
|
|
in order to allow unpickling under Python 2. Patch by Irmen de Jong.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #7111: Python can now be run without a stdin, stdout or stderr
|
|
stream. It was already the case with Python 2. However, the corresponding
|
|
sys module entries are now set to None (instead of an unusable file object).
|
|
|
|
- Issue #11849: Ensure that free()d memory arenas are really released

|
object is hashable.

Initial patch by Floris Bruynooghe.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #10227: Add an allocation cache for a single slice object. Patch by
|

the raw stream instead of limiting itself to the buffer size.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #13392: Writing a pyc file should now be atomic under Windows as well.
|

already accepts them).
|
|

cleared by the garbage collector. This fixes a segfault when an instance
|
|
and its type get caught in a reference cycle, and the instance's
|
|
deallocator calls one of the methods on the type (e.g. when subclassing

- Issue #13590: On OS X 10.7 and 10.6 with Xcode 4.2, building
|
|
Distutils-based packages with C extension modules may fail because
|
|
Apple has removed gcc-4.2, the version used to build python.org
|
|
64-bit/32-bit Pythons. If the user does not explicitly override
|
|
the default C compiler by setting the CC environment variable,
|
|
Distutils will now attempt to compile extension modules with clang
|
|
if gcc-4.2 is required but not found. Also as a convenience, if
|
|
the user does explicitly set CC, substitute its value as the default
|
|
compiler in the Distutils LDSHARED configuration variable for OS X.
|
|
(Note, the python.org 32-bit-only Pythons use gcc-4.0 and the 10.4u
|
|
SDK, neither of which are available in Xcode 4. This change does not
|
|
attempt to override settings to support their use with Xcode 4.)

|
- Issue #10968: Remove indirection in threading. The public names (Event,
|
|
Condition, etc.) used to be factory functions returning instances of hidden
|
|
classes (_Event, _Condition, etc.), because (if Guido recalls correctly) this
|

to inherit from these classes, without having to import the private
|

underscored names like multiprocessing did.

|
|
|
|
- Issue #12551: Provide a get_channel_binding() method on SSL sockets so as
|
|
to get channel binding data for the current SSL session (only the
|
|
"tls-unique" channel binding is implemented). This allows the implementation
|
|
of certain authentication mechanisms such as SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS. Patch by
|
|
Jacek Konieczny.
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Issue #12016: Multibyte CJK decoders now resynchronize faster. They only
|
|
ignore the first byte of an invalid byte sequence. For example,
|
|
b'\xff\n'.decode('gb2312', 'replace') gives '\ufffd\n' instead of '\ufffd'.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #12459: time.sleep() now raises a ValueError if the sleep length is
|
|
negative, instead of an infinite sleep on Windows or raising an IOError on

|
|
- Issue #12451: pydoc: html_getfile() now uses tokenize.open() to support

|
|
instead of text mode using the locale encoding, to avoid encoding issues.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #12451: runpy: run_path() now opens the Python script in binary mode,
|
|
instead of text mode using the locale encoding, to support other encodings
|
|
than UTF-8 (scripts using the coding cookie).
|
|
|
|
- Issue #12451: xml.dom.pulldom: parse() now opens files in binary mode instead
|
|
of the text mode (using the locale encoding) to avoid encoding issues.

disk space statistics.

|
|
UTF-8 instead of the locale encoding if the encoding is not specified. It now
|
|
also opens XML files for the parser in binary mode instead of the text mode
|

to avoid encoding issues.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #12451: doctest.debug_script() doesn't create a temporary file
|
|
anymore to avoid encoding issues.
|
|
|

|
|
to read the Python script from the right encoding.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #12451: distutils now opens the setup script in binary mode to read the
|
|
encoding cookie, instead of opening it in UTF-8.

|
|
- Issue #9516: On Mac OS X, change Distutils to no longer globally attempt to
|
|
check or set the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable for the
|
|
interpreter process. This could cause failures in non-Distutils subprocesses
|
|
and was unreliable since tests or user programs could modify the interpreter
|
|
environment after Distutils set it. Instead, have Distutils set the
|
|
deployment target only in the environment of each build subprocess. It is
|
|
still possible to globally override the default by setting
|
|
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET before launching the interpreter; its value must be
|
|
greater or equal to the default value, the value with which the interpreter
|
|
was built. Also, implement the same handling in packaging.

|
|
wrapper module into __init__, eliminating the module. Since __init__ was

|
|
- Issue #11584: email.header.decode_header no longer fails if the header

- Issue #11651: Improve the Makefile test targets to run more of the test suite
|
|
more quickly. The --multiprocess option is now enabled by default, reducing
|
|
the amount of time needed to run the tests. "make test" and "make quicktest"
|
|
now include some resource-intensive tests, but no longer run the test suite
|
|
twice to check for bugs in .pyc generation. Tools/scripts/run_test.py provides
|

using the unittest module. This is useful with long test suites
|
|
such as test_io or test_subprocess.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #12624: It is now possible to fail after the first failure when
|
|
running in verbose mode (``-v`` or ``-W``), by using the ``--failfast``
|
|
(or ``-G``) option to regrtest. This is useful with long test suites
|
|
such as test_io or test_subprocess.

|
Web site.
|
|
|
|
- Avoid failing in test_urllibnet.test_bad_address when some overzealous
|
|
DNS service (e.g. OpenDNS) resolves a non-existent domain name. The test
|
|
is now skipped instead.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #12440: When testing whether some bits in SSLContext.options can be
|
|
reset, check the version of the OpenSSL headers Python was compiled against,
|
|
rather than the runtime version of the OpenSSL library.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #11512: Add a test suite for the cgitb module. Patch by Robbie Clemons.

|
|
|
|
- Issue #12407: Explicitly skip test_capi.EmbeddingTest under Windows.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #12400: regrtest -W doesn't rerun the tests twice anymore, but captures
|
|
the output and displays it on failure instead. regrtest -v doesn't print the
|
|
error twice anymore if there is only one error.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #12141: Install copies of template C module file so that
|
|
test_build_ext of test_distutils and test_command_build_ext of

|
run outside of a build directory.

C-API
|
|

|
|
- Issue #13452: PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() doesn't support error handlers
