What's New In Python 3.11

****************************

|
|
.. Rules for maintenance:
|
|
|
|
* Anyone can add text to this document. Do not spend very much time
|
|
on the wording of your changes, because your text will probably
|
|
get rewritten to some degree.
|
|
|
|
* The maintainer will go through Misc/NEWS periodically and add
|
|
changes; it's therefore more important to add your changes to
|
|
Misc/NEWS than to this file.
|
|
|
|
* This is not a complete list of every single change; completeness
|
|
is the purpose of Misc/NEWS. Some changes I consider too small
|
|
or esoteric to include. If such a change is added to the text,
|
|
I'll just remove it. (This is another reason you shouldn't spend
|
|
too much time on writing your addition.)
|
|
|
|
* If you want to draw your new text to the attention of the
|
|
maintainer, add 'XXX' to the beginning of the paragraph or
|
|
section.
|
|
|
|
* It's OK to just add a fragmentary note about a change. For
|
|
example: "XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the
|
|
socket module." The maintainer will research the change and
|
|
write the necessary text.
|
|
|
|
* You can comment out your additions if you like, but it's not
|
|
necessary (especially when a final release is some months away).
|
|
|
|
* Credit the author of a patch or bugfix. Just the name is
|
|
sufficient; the e-mail address isn't necessary.
|
|
|
|
* It's helpful to add the bug/patch number as a comment:
|
|
|
|
XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the socket
|
|
module.
|
|
(Contributed by P.Y. Developer in :issue:`12345`.)
|
|
|
|
This saves the maintainer the effort of going through the Mercurial log
|
|
when researching a change.
|
|
|
|
This article explains the new features in Python 3.11, compared to 3.10.
|
|
|
|
For full details, see the :ref:`changelog <changelog>`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Prerelease users should be aware that this document is currently in draft
|
|
form. It will be updated substantially as Python 3.11 moves towards release,
|
|
so it's worth checking back even after reading earlier versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Summary -- Release highlights
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
.. This section singles out the most important changes in Python 3.11.
|
|
Brevity is key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. PEP-sized items next.

New Features
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
.. _whatsnew311-pep657:
|
|
|
|
Enhanced error locations in tracebacks
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When printing tracebacks, the interpreter will now point to the exact expression
|
|
that caused the error instead of just the line. For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
|
File "distance.py", line 11, in <module>
|
|
print(manhattan_distance(p1, p2))
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
File "distance.py", line 6, in manhattan_distance
|
|
return abs(point_1.x - point_2.x) + abs(point_1.y - point_2.y)
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'x'
|
|
|
|
Previous versions of the interpreter would point to just the line making it
|
|
ambiguous which object was ``None``. These enhanced errors can also be helpful
|
|
when dealing with deeply nested dictionary objects and multiple function calls,
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
|
File "query.py", line 37, in <module>
|
|
magic_arithmetic('foo')
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
File "query.py", line 18, in magic_arithmetic
|
|
return add_counts(x) / 25
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
File "query.py", line 24, in add_counts
|
|
return 25 + query_user(user1) + query_user(user2)
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
File "query.py", line 32, in query_user
|
|
return 1 + query_count(db, response['a']['b']['c']['user'], retry=True)
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^
|
|
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
|
|
|
|
as well as complex arithmetic expressions:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
|
File "calculation.py", line 54, in <module>
|
|
result = (x / y / z) * (a / b / c)
|
|
~~~~~~^~~
|
|
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
|
|
|
|
See :pep:`657` for more details. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo, Batuhan Taskaya
|
|
and Ammar Askar in :issue:`43950`.)
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This feature requires storing column positions in code objects which may
|
|
result in a small increase of disk usage of compiled Python files or
|
|
interpreter memory usage. To avoid storing the extra information and/or
|
|
deactivate printing the extra traceback information, the
|
|
:option:`-X` ``no_debug_ranges`` command line flag or the :envvar:`PYTHONNODEBUGRANGES`
|
|
environment variable can be used.
|
|
|
|
Column information for code objects
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The information used by the enhanced traceback feature is made available as a
|
|
general API that can be used to correlate bytecode instructions with source
|
|
code. This information can be retrieved using:
|
|
|
|
- The :meth:`codeobject.co_positions` method in Python.
|
|
- The :c:func:`PyCode_Addr2Location` function in the C-API.
|
|
|
|
The :option:`-X` ``no_debug_ranges`` option and the environment variable
|
|
:envvar:`PYTHONNODEBUGRANGES` can be used to disable this feature.
|
|
|
|
See :pep:`657` for more details. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo, Batuhan Taskaya
|
|
and Ammar Askar in :issue:`43950`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other Language Changes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
* Asynchronous comprehensions are now allowed inside comprehensions in
|
|
asynchronous functions. Outer comprehensions implicitly become
|
|
asynchronous. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`33346`.)
|
|
|
|
* A :exc:`TypeError` is now raised instead of an :exc:`AttributeError` in
|
|
:meth:`contextlib.ExitStack.enter_context` and
|
|
:meth:`contextlib.AsyncExitStack.enter_async_context` for objects which do not
|
|
support the :term:`context manager` or :term:`asynchronous context manager`
|
|
protocols correspondingly.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`44471`.)
|
|
|
|
* A :exc:`TypeError` is now raised instead of an :exc:`AttributeError` in
|
|
:keyword:`with` and :keyword:`async with` statements for objects which do not
|
|
support the :term:`context manager` or :term:`asynchronous context manager`
|
|
protocols correspondingly.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`12022`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other CPython Implementation Changes
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
* Special methods :meth:`complex.__complex__` and :meth:`bytes.__bytes__` are implemented to
|
|
support :class:`typing.SupportsComplex` and :class:`typing.SupportsBytes` protocols.
|
|
(Contributed by Mark Dickinson and Dong-hee Na in :issue:`24234`.)
|
|
|
|
* ``siphash13`` is added as a new internal hashing algorithms. It's has similar security
|
|
properties as ``siphash24`` but it is slightly faster for long inputs. ``str``, ``bytes``,
|
|
and some other types now use it as default algorithm for ``hash()``. :pep:`552`
|
|
hash-based pyc files now use ``siphash13``, too.
|
|
(Contributed by Inada Naoki in :issue:`29410`.)
|
|
|
|
New Modules
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
* None yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Improved Modules
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
fractions
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Support :PEP:`515`-style initialization of :class:`~fractions.Fraction` from
|
|
string. (Contributed by Sergey B Kirpichev in :issue:`44258`.)
|
|
|
|
* :class:`~fractions.Fraction` now implements an ``__int__`` method, so
|
|
that an ``isinstance(some_fraction, typing.SupportsInt)`` check passes.
|
|
(Contributed by Mark Dickinson in :issue:`44547`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
math
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* Add :func:`math.cbrt`: return the cube root of x.
|
|
(Contributed by Ajith Ramachandran in :issue:`44357`.)
|
|
|
|
* The behaviour of two :func:`math.pow` corner cases was changed, for
|
|
consistency with the IEEE 754 specification. The operations
|
|
``math.pow(0.0, -math.inf)`` and ``math.pow(-0.0, -math.inf)`` now return
|
|
``inf``. Previously they raised :exc:`ValueError`. (Contributed by Mark
|
|
Dickinson in :issue:`44339`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
operator
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* A new function ``operator.call`` has been added, such that
|
|
``operator.call(obj, *args, **kwargs) == obj(*args, **kwargs)``.
|
|
(Contributed by Antony Lee in :issue:`44019`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
os
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
* On Windows, :func:`os.urandom` now uses ``BCryptGenRandom()``,
|
|
instead of ``CryptGenRandom()`` which is deprecated.
|
|
(Contributed by Dong-hee Na in :issue:`44611`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
sqlite3
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* You can now disable the authorizer by passing :const:`None` to
|
|
:meth:`~sqlite3.Connection.set_authorizer`.
|
|
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :issue:`44491`.)
|
|
|
|
* Collation name :meth:`~sqlite3.Connection.create_collation` can now
|
|
contain any Unicode character. Collation names with invalid characters
|
|
now raise :exc:`UnicodeEncodeError` instead of :exc:`sqlite3.ProgrammingError`.
|
|
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :issue:`44688`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`sqlite3` exceptions now include the SQLite extended error code as
|
|
:attr:`~sqlite3.Error.sqlite_errorcode` and the SQLite error name as
|
|
:attr:`~sqlite3.Error.sqlite_errorname`.
|
|
(Contributed by Aviv Palivoda, Daniel Shahaf, and Erlend E. Aasland in
|
|
:issue:`16379` and :issue:`24139`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Add :meth:`~sqlite3.Connection.setlimit` and
|
|
:meth:`~sqlite3.Connection.getlimit` to :class:`sqlite3.Connection` for
|
|
setting and getting SQLite limits by connection basis.
|
|
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :issue:`45243`.)
|
|
|
|
* :mod:`sqlite3` now sets :attr:`sqlite3.threadsafety` based on the default
|
|
threading mode the underlying SQLite library has been compiled with.
|
|
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :issue:`45613`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
threading
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* On Unix, if the ``sem_clockwait()`` function is available in the C library
|
|
(glibc 2.30 and newer), the :meth:`threading.Lock.acquire` method now uses
|
|
the monotonic clock (:data:`time.CLOCK_MONOTONIC`) for the timeout, rather
|
|
than using the system clock (:data:`time.CLOCK_REALTIME`), to not be affected
|
|
by system clock changes.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`41710`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
time
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* On Unix, :func:`time.sleep` now uses the ``clock_nanosleep()`` or
|
|
``nanosleep()`` function, if available, which has a resolution of 1 nanosecond
|
|
(10\ :sup:`-9` seconds), rather than using ``select()`` which has a resolution
|
|
of 1 microsecond (10\ :sup:`-6` seconds).
|
|
(Contributed by Benjamin Szőke and Victor Stinner in :issue:`21302`.)
|
|
|
|
* On Windows 8.1 and newer, :func:`time.sleep` now uses a waitable timer based
|
|
on `high-resolution timers
|
|
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/kernel/high-resolution-timers>`_
|
|
which has a resolution of 100 nanoseconds (10\ :sup:`-7` seconds). Previously,
|
|
it had a resolution of 1 millisecond (10\ :sup:`-3` seconds).
|
|
(Contributed by Benjamin Szőke, Dong-hee Na, Eryk Sun and Victor Stinner in :issue:`21302` and :issue:`45429`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
unicodedata
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* The Unicode database has been updated to version 14.0.0. (:issue:`45190`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optimizations
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
* Compiler now optimizes simple C-style formatting with literal format
|
|
containing only format codes ``%s``, ``%r`` and ``%a`` and makes it as
|
|
fast as corresponding f-string expression.
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`28307`.)
|
|
|
|
* "Zero-cost" exceptions are implemented. The cost of ``try`` statements is
|
|
almost eliminated when no exception is raised.
|
|
(Contributed by Mark Shannon in :issue:`40222`.)
|
|
|
|
* Method calls with keywords are now faster due to bytecode
|
|
changes which avoid creating bound method instances. Previously, this
|
|
optimization was applied only to method calls with purely positional
|
|
arguments.
|
|
(Contributed by Ken Jin and Mark Shannon in :issue:`26110`, based on ideas
|
|
implemented in PyPy.)
|
|
|
|
* Pure ASCII strings are now normalized in constant time by :func:`unicodedata.normalize`.
|
|
(Contributed by Dong-hee Na in :issue:`44987`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
CPython bytecode changes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
* Replaced all numeric ``BINARY_*`` and ``INPLACE_*`` instructions with a single
|
|
:opcode:`BINARY_OP` implementation.
|
|
|
|
* Added a new :opcode:`CALL_METHOD_KW` opcode. Calls a method in a similar
|
|
fashion as :opcode:`CALL_METHOD`, but also supports keyword arguments. Works
|
|
in tandem with :opcode:`LOAD_METHOD`.
|
|
|
|
* Removed ``COPY_DICT_WITHOUT_KEYS``.
|
|
|
|
* :opcode:`MATCH_CLASS` and :opcode:`MATCH_KEYS` no longer push an additional
|
|
boolean value indicating whether the match succeeded or failed. Instead, they
|
|
indicate failure with :const:`None` (where a tuple of extracted values would
|
|
otherwise be).
|
|
|
|
* Added :opcode:`COPY`, which pushes the *i*-th item to the top of the stack.
|
|
The item is not removed from its original location.
|
|
|
|
* :opcode:`JUMP_IF_NOT_EXC_MATCH` no longer pops the active exception.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deprecated
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
* The :mod:`lib2to3` package and ``2to3`` tool are now deprecated and may not
|
|
be able to parse Python 3.10 or newer. See the :pep:`617` (New PEG parser for
|
|
CPython). (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`40360`.)
|
|
|
|
* :class:`webbrowser.MacOSX` is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.13.
|
|
It is untested and undocumented and also not used by webbrowser itself.
|
|
(Contributed by Dong-hee Na in :issue:`42255`.)
|
|
|
|
* The behavior of returning a value from a :class:`~unittest.TestCase` and
|
|
:class:`~unittest.IsolatedAsyncioTestCase` test methods (other than the
|
|
default ``None`` value), is now deprecated.
|
|
|
|
* Deprecated the following :mod:`unittest` functions, scheduled for removal in
|
|
Python 3.13:
|
|
|
|
* :func:`unittest.findTestCases`
|
|
* :func:`unittest.makeSuite`
|
|
* :func:`unittest.getTestCaseNames`
|
|
|
|
Use :class:`~unittest.TestLoader` method instead:
|
|
|
|
* :meth:`unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule`
|
|
* :meth:`unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromTestCase`
|
|
* :meth:`unittest.TestLoader.getTestCaseNames`
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :issue:`5846`.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Removed
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
* :class:`smtpd.MailmanProxy` is now removed as it is unusable without
|
|
an external module, ``mailman``. (Contributed by Dong-hee Na in :issue:`35800`.)
|
|
|
|
* The ``binhex`` module, deprecated in Python 3.9, is now removed.
|
|
The following :mod:`binascii` functions, deprecated in Python 3.9, are now
|
|
also removed:
|
|
|
|
* ``a2b_hqx()``, ``b2a_hqx()``;
|
|
* ``rlecode_hqx()``, ``rledecode_hqx()``.
|
|
|
|
The :func:`binascii.crc_hqx` function remains available.
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`45085`.)
|
|
|
|
* The distutils ``bdist_msi`` command, deprecated in Python 3.9, is now removed.
|
|
Use ``bdist_wheel`` (wheel packages) instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :issue:`45124`.)
|
|
|
|
* Due to significant security concerns, the *reuse_address* parameter of
|
|
:meth:`asyncio.loop.create_datagram_endpoint`, disabled in Python 3.9, is
|
|
now entirely removed. This is because of the behavior of the socket option
|
|
``SO_REUSEADDR`` in UDP.
|
|
(Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :issue:`45129`.)
|
|
|
|
* Removed :meth:`__getitem__` methods of
|
|
:class:`xml.dom.pulldom.DOMEventStream`, :class:`wsgiref.util.FileWrapper`
|
|
and :class:`fileinput.FileInput`, deprecated since Python 3.9.
|
|
(Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :issue:`45132`.)
|
|
|
|
* Removed many old deprecated :mod:`unittest` features:
|
|
|
|
- :class:`~unittest.TestCase` method aliases ``failUnlessEqual``,
|
|
``failIfEqual``, ``failUnless``, ``failIf``, ``failUnlessRaises``,
|
|
``failUnlessAlmostEqual``, ``failIfAlmostEqual`` (deprecated in Python 3.1),
|
|
``assertEquals``, ``assertNotEquals``, ``assert_``, ``assertAlmostEquals``,
|
|
``assertNotAlmostEquals``, ``assertRegexpMatches``, ``assertRaisesRegexp``
|
|
(deprecated in Python 3.2), and ``assertNotRegexpMatches`` (deprecated in
|
|
Python 3.5).
|
|
|
|
- Undocumented and broken :class:`~unittest.TestCase` method
|
|
``assertDictContainsSubset`` (deprecated in Python 3.2).
|
|
|
|
- Undocumented :meth:`<unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule>
|
|
TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule` parameter *use_load_tests* (deprecated
|
|
and ignored since Python 3.2).
|
|
|
|
- An alias of the :class:`~unittest.TextTestResult` class:
|
|
``_TextTestResult`` (deprecated in Python 3.2).
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`45162`.)
|
|
|
|
* The following deprecated functions and methods are removed in the :mod:`gettext`
|
|
module: :func:`~gettext.lgettext`, :func:`~gettext.ldgettext`,
|
|
:func:`~gettext.lngettext` and :func:`~gettext.ldngettext`.
|
|
|
|
Function :func:`~gettext.bind_textdomain_codeset`, methods
|
|
:meth:`~gettext.NullTranslations.output_charset` and
|
|
:meth:`~gettext.NullTranslations.set_output_charset`, and the *codeset*
|
|
parameter of functions :func:`~gettext.translation` and
|
|
:func:`~gettext.install` are also removed, since they are only used for
|
|
the ``l*gettext()`` functions.
|
|
(Contributed by Dong-hee Na and Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`44235`.)
|
|
|
|
* Removed from the :mod:`configparser` module:
|
|
the :class:`SafeConfigParser` class,
|
|
the :attr:`filename` property of the :class:`ParsingError` class,
|
|
the :meth:`readfp` method of the :class:`ConfigParser` class,
|
|
deprecated since Python 3.2.
|
|
(Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :issue:`45173`.)
|
|
|
|
* The :func:`@asyncio.coroutine <asyncio.coroutine>` :term:`decorator` enabling
|
|
legacy generator-based coroutines to be compatible with async/await code.
|
|
The function has been deprecated since Python 3.8 and the removal was
|
|
initially scheduled for Python 3.10. Use :keyword:`async def` instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Illia Volochii in :issue:`43216`.)
|
|
|
|
* :class:`asyncio.coroutines.CoroWrapper` used for wrapping legacy
|
|
generator-based coroutine objects in the debug mode.
|
|
(Contributed by Illia Volochii in :issue:`43216`.)
|
|
|
|
* Removed the deprecated ``split()`` method of :class:`_tkinter.TkappType`.
|
|
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :issue:`38371`.)
|
|
|
|
* Removed from the :mod:`inspect` module:
|
|
|
|
* the ``getargspec`` function, deprecated since Python 3.0;
|
|
use :func:`inspect.signature` or :func:`inspect.getfullargspec` instead.
|
|
|
|
* the ``formatargspec`` function, deprecated since Python 3.5;
|
|
use the :func:`inspect.signature` function and :class:`Signature` object
|
|
directly.
|
|
|
|
* the undocumented ``Signature.from_callable`` and ``Signature.from_function``
|
|
functions, deprecated since Python 3.5; use the
|
|
:meth:`Signature.from_callable() <inspect.Signature.from_callable>` method
|
|
instead.

* Remove the ``asyncore`` and ``asynchat`` modules, deprecated in Python 3.6:
|
|
use the :mod:`asyncio` module instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`28533`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove the ``smtpd`` module, deprecated in Python 3.6: the `aiosmtpd
|
|
<https://aiosmtpd.readthedocs.io/>`__ module can be used instead, it is based
|
|
on asyncio.

Porting to Python 3.11
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
This section lists previously described changes and other bugfixes
|
|
that may require changes to your code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in the Python API
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Prohibited passing non-:class:`concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor`
|
|
executors to :meth:`loop.set_default_executor` following a deprecation in
|
|
Python 3.8.
|
|
(Contributed by Illia Volochii in :issue:`43234`.)
|
|
|
|
* :func:`open`, :func:`io.open`, :func:`codecs.open` and
|
|
:class:`fileinput.FileInput` no longer accept ``'U'`` ("universal newline")
|
|
in the file mode. This flag was deprecated since Python 3.3. In Python 3, the
|
|
"universal newline" is used by default when a file is open in text mode. The
|
|
:ref:`newline parameter <open-newline-parameter>` of :func:`open` controls
|
|
how universal newlines works.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`37330`.)
|
|
|
|
* The :mod:`pdb` module now reads the :file:`.pdbrc` configuration file with
|
|
the ``'utf-8'`` encoding.
|
|
(Contributed by Srinivas Reddy Thatiparthy (శ్రీనివాస్ రెడ్డి తాటిపర్తి) in :issue:`41137`.)
|
|
|
|
* When sorting using tuples as keys, the order of the result may differ
|
|
from earlier releases if the tuple elements don't define a total
|
|
ordering (see :ref:`expressions-value-comparisons` for
|
|
information on total ordering). It's generally true that the result
|
|
of sorting simply isn't well-defined in the absence of a total ordering
|
|
on list elements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build Changes
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
* CPython can now be built with the ThinLTO option via ``--with-lto=thin``.
|
|
(Contributed by Dong-hee Na and Brett Holman in :issue:`44340`.)
|
|
|
|
* libpython is no longer linked against libcrypt.
|
|
(Contributed by Mike Gilbert in :issue:`45433`.)
|
|
|
|
* Building Python now requires a C99 ``<math.h>`` header file providing
|
|
the following functions: ``copysign()``, ``hypot()``, ``isfinite()``,
|
|
``isinf()``, ``isnan()``, ``round()``.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`45440`.)
|
|
|
|
* Freelists for object structs can now be disabled. A new :program:`configure`
|
|
option :option:`!--without-freelists` can be used to disable all freelists
|
|
except empty tuple singleton.
|
|
(Contributed by Christian Heimes in :issue:`45522`)
|
|
|
|
* ``Modules/Setup`` and ``Modules/makesetup`` have been improved and tied up.
|
|
Extension modules can now be built through ``makesetup``. All except some
|
|
test modules can be linked statically into main binary or library.
|
|
(Contributed by Brett Cannon and Christian Heimes in :issue:`45548`,
|
|
:issue:`45570`, :issue:`45571`, and :issue:`43974`.)
|
|
|
|
* The build dependencies for :mod:`zlib`, :mod:`bz2`, and :mod:`lzma` are now
|
|
detected by :program:`configure`.
|
|
(Contributed by Christian Heimes in :issue:`45763`.)
|
|
|
|
* Build dependencies for :mod:`dbm` are now detected by :program:`configure`.
|
|
``libdb`` 3.x and 4.x are no longer supported.
|
|
(Contributed by Christian Heimes in :issue:`45747`.)
|
|
|
|
C API Changes
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* Add a new :c:func:`PyType_GetName` function to get type's short name.
|
|
(Contributed by Hai Shi in :issue:`42035`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add a new :c:func:`PyType_GetQualName` function to get type's qualified name.
|
|
(Contributed by Hai Shi in :issue:`42035`.)
|
|
|
|
* Add new :c:func:`PyThreadState_EnterTracing` and
|
|
:c:func:`PyThreadState_LeaveTracing` functions to the limited C API to
|
|
suspend and resume tracing and profiling.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`43760`.)
|
|
|
|
Porting to Python 3.11
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
* The old trashcan macros (``Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN``/``Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END``)
|
|
are now deprecated. They should be replaced by the new macros
|
|
``Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN`` and ``Py_TRASHCAN_END``.
|
|
|
|
A tp_dealloc function that has the old macros, such as::
|
|
|
|
static void
|
|
mytype_dealloc(mytype *p)
|
|
{
|
|
PyObject_GC_UnTrack(p);
|
|
Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN(p);
|
|
...
|
|
Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
should migrate to the new macros as follows::
|
|
|
|
static void
|
|
mytype_dealloc(mytype *p)
|
|
{
|
|
PyObject_GC_UnTrack(p);
|
|
Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN(p, mytype_dealloc)
|
|
...
|
|
Py_TRASHCAN_END
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Note that ``Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN`` has a second argument which
|
|
should be the deallocation function it is in.
|
|
|
|
To support older Python versions in the same codebase, you
|
|
can define the following macros and use them throughout
|
|
the code (credit: these were copied from the ``mypy`` codebase)::
|
|
|
|
#if PY_MAJOR_VERSION >= 3 && PY_MINOR_VERSION >= 8
|
|
# define CPy_TRASHCAN_BEGIN(op, dealloc) Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN(op, dealloc)
|
|
# define CPy_TRASHCAN_END(op) Py_TRASHCAN_END
|
|
#else
|
|
# define CPy_TRASHCAN_BEGIN(op, dealloc) Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN(op)
|
|
# define CPy_TRASHCAN_END(op) Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END(op)
|
|
#endif
|
|
|
|
* The :c:func:`PyType_Ready` function now raises an error if a type is defined
|
|
with the :const:`Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC` flag set but has no traverse function
|
|
(:c:member:`PyTypeObject.tp_traverse`).
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`44263`.)
|
|
|
|
* Heap types with the :const:`Py_TPFLAGS_IMMUTABLETYPE` flag can now inherit
|
|
the :pep:`590` vectorcall protocol. Previously, this was only possible for
|
|
:ref:`static types <static-types>`.
|
|
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :issue:`43908`)
|
|
|
|
* Since :c:func:`Py_TYPE()` is changed to a inline static function,
|
|
``Py_TYPE(obj) = new_type`` must be replaced with
|
|
``Py_SET_TYPE(obj, new_type)``: see the :c:func:`Py_SET_TYPE()` function
|
|
(available since Python 3.9). For backward compatibility, this macro can be
|
|
used::
|
|
|
|
#if PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x030900A4 && !defined(Py_SET_TYPE)
|
|
static inline void _Py_SET_TYPE(PyObject *ob, PyTypeObject *type)
|
|
{ ob->ob_type = type; }
|
|
#define Py_SET_TYPE(ob, type) _Py_SET_TYPE((PyObject*)(ob), type)
|
|
#endif
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`39573`.)
|
|
|
|
* Since :c:func:`Py_SIZE()` is changed to a inline static function,
|
|
``Py_SIZE(obj) = new_size`` must be replaced with
|
|
``Py_SET_SIZE(obj, new_size)``: see the :c:func:`Py_SET_SIZE()` function
|
|
(available since Python 3.9). For backward compatibility, this macro can be
|
|
used::
|
|
|
|
#if PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x030900A4 && !defined(Py_SET_SIZE)
|
|
static inline void _Py_SET_SIZE(PyVarObject *ob, Py_ssize_t size)
|
|
{ ob->ob_size = size; }
|
|
#define Py_SET_SIZE(ob, size) _Py_SET_SIZE((PyVarObject*)(ob), size)
|
|
#endif
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`39573`.)
|
|
|
|
* ``<Python.h>`` no longer includes the header files ``<stdlib.h>``,
|
|
``<stdio.h>``, ``<errno.h>`` and ``<string.h>`` when the ``Py_LIMITED_API``
|
|
macro is set to ``0x030b0000`` (Python 3.11) or higher. C extensions should
|
|
explicitly include the header files after ``#include <Python.h>``.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`45434`.)
|
|
|
|
* The non-limited API files ``cellobject.h``, ``classobject.h``, ``context.h``,
|
|
``funcobject.h``, ``genobject.h`` and ``longintrepr.h`` have been moved to
|
|
the ``Include/cpython`` directory. Moreover, the ``eval.h`` header file was
|
|
removed. These files must not be included directly, as they are already
|
|
included in ``Python.h``: :ref:`Include Files <api-includes>`. If they have
|
|
been included directly, consider including ``Python.h`` instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`35134`.)
|
|
|
|
Deprecated
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* Deprecate the following functions to configure the Python initialization:
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode`
|
|
* :c:func:`PySys_AddWarnOption`
|
|
* :c:func:`PySys_AddXOption`
|
|
* :c:func:`PySys_HasWarnOptions`
|
|
* :c:func:`Py_SetPath`
|
|
* :c:func:`Py_SetProgramName`
|
|
* :c:func:`Py_SetPythonHome`
|
|
* :c:func:`Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding`
|
|
* :c:func:`_Py_SetProgramFullPath`
|
|
|
|
Use the new :c:type:`PyConfig` API of the :ref:`Python Initialization Configuration
|
|
<init-config>` instead (:pep:`587`).
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`44113`.)
|
|
|
|
Removed
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`PyFrame_BlockSetup` and :c:func:`PyFrame_BlockPop` have been
|
|
removed.
|
|
(Contributed by Mark Shannon in :issue:`40222`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove the following math macros using the ``errno`` variable:
|
|
|
|
* ``Py_ADJUST_ERANGE1()``
|
|
* ``Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2()``
|
|
* ``Py_OVERFLOWED()``
|
|
* ``Py_SET_ERANGE_IF_OVERFLOW()``
|
|
* ``Py_SET_ERRNO_ON_MATH_ERROR()``
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`45412`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove ``Py_UNICODE_COPY()`` and ``Py_UNICODE_FILL()`` macros, deprecated
|
|
since Python 3.3. Use ``PyUnicode_CopyCharacters()`` or ``memcpy()``
|
|
(``wchar_t*`` string), and ``PyUnicode_Fill()`` functions instead.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`41123`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove the ``pystrhex.h`` header file. It only contains private functions.
|
|
C extensions should only include the main ``<Python.h>`` header file.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`45434`.)
|
|
|
|
* Remove the ``Py_FORCE_DOUBLE()`` macro. It was used by the
|
|
``Py_IS_INFINITY()`` macro.
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`45440`.)
|
|
|
|
* The following items are no longer available when :c:macro:`Py_LIMITED_API`
|
|
is defined:
|
|
|
|
* :c:func:`PyMarshal_WriteLongToFile`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyMarshal_WriteObjectToFile`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyMarshal_ReadObjectFromString`
|
|
* :c:func:`PyMarshal_WriteObjectToString`
|
|
* the ``Py_MARSHAL_VERSION`` macro
|
|
|
|
These are not part of the :ref:`limited API <stable-abi-list>`.
|
|
|
|
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`45474`.)
|
|
|
|
* Exclude :c:func:`PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT` from the limited C API. It never
|
|
worked since the :c:type:`PyWeakReference` structure is opaque in the
|
|
limited C API.
|
|
