`os.path.is*()` can return False if the file can't be accessed.
The behaviour is documented in details in `os.path.exists()`.
Link to `os.path.exists()` from `os.path.is*()`.
- primary change is to add a new default filter entry for
'default::DeprecationWarning:__main__'
- secondary change is an internal one to cope with plain
strings in the warning module's internal filter list
(this avoids the need to create a compiled regex object
early on during interpreter startup)
- assorted documentation updates, including many more
examples of configuring the warnings settings
- additional tests to ensure that both the pure Python and
the C accelerated warnings modules have the expected
default configuration
Add a new argument "-m" to the pdb module to allow
users to run `python -m pdb -m my_module_name`.
This relies on private APIs in the runpy module to work,
but we can get away with that since they're both part of
the standard library and can be updated together if
the runpy internals get refactored.
This module has never been enabled by default, never worked correctly
on x86-64, and caused ABI problems that caused C extension
compatibility. See bpo-29137 for details/discussion.
* Make ssh_handshake_timeout None by default.
* Raise ValueError if ssl_handshake_timeout is used without ssl.
* Raise ValueError if ssl_handshake_timeout is not positive.
Even though Python marks any handles it opens as non-inheritable there
is still a race when using `subprocess.Popen` since creating a process
with redirected stdio requires temporarily creating inheritable handles.
By implementing support for `subprocess.Popen(close_fds=True)` we fix
this race.
In order to implement this we use PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST
which is available since Windows Vista. Which allows to pass an explicit
list of handles to inherit when creating a process.
This commit also adds `STARTUPINFO.lpAttributeList["handle_list"]`
which can be used to control PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST
directly.
* Add -X utf8 command line option, PYTHONUTF8 environment variable
and a new sys.flags.utf8_mode flag.
* If the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" at startup: enable automatically the
UTF-8 mode.
* Add _winapi.GetACP(). encodings._alias_mbcs() now calls
_winapi.GetACP() to get the ANSI code page
* locale.getpreferredencoding() now returns 'UTF-8' in the UTF-8
mode. As a side effect, open() now uses the UTF-8 encoding by
default in this mode.
* Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding
in the UTF-8 Mode.
* Update subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle -X utf8
* Skip some tests relying on the current locale if the UTF-8 mode is
enabled.
* Add test_utf8mode.py.
* _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape() gets a new optional parameter to
return also the length (number of wide characters).
* pymain_get_global_config() and pymain_set_global_config() now
always copy flag values, rather than only copying if the new value
is greater than the old value.
Python now supports checking bytecode cache up-to-dateness with a hash of the
source contents rather than volatile source metadata. See the PEP for details.
While a fairly straightforward idea, quite a lot of code had to be modified due
to the pervasiveness of pyc implementation details in the codebase. Changes in
this commit include:
- The core changes to importlib to understand how to read, validate, and
regenerate hash-based pycs.
- Support for generating hash-based pycs in py_compile and compileall.
- Modifications to our siphash implementation to support passing a custom
key. We then expose it to importlib through _imp.
- Updates to all places in the interpreter, standard library, and tests that
manually generate or parse pyc files to grok the new format.
- Support in the interpreter command line code for long options like
--check-hash-based-pycs.
- Tests and documentation for all of the above.
* fix issue32208: update threading.Semaphore docs and add unit test to validate correct behavior
* add test for blocking
* Update threading.rst
* semaphore: remove documentation validation tests and move 'return value' test to BaseSemaphore
* bpo-32101: Add sys.flags.dev_mode flag
Rename also the "Developer mode" to the "Development mode".
* bpo-32101: Add PYTHONDEVMODE environment variable
Mention it in the development chapiter.
* Add most_recent_first parameter to tracemalloc.Traceback.format to allow
reversing the order of the frames in the output
* Reversed default sorting of tracemalloc.Traceback frames
* Allowed negative limit, truncating from the other side.
``uuid.getnode()`` now preferentially returns universally administered MAC addresses if available, over locally administered MAC addresses. This makes a better guarantee for global uniqueness of UUIDs returned from ``uuid.uuid1()``. If only locally administered MAC addresses are available, the first such one found is returned.
Also improve internal code style by being explicit about ``return None`` rather than falling off the end of the function.
Improve the test robustness.
Adds a simpler and faster alternative to ExitStack for handling
single optional context managers without having to change the
lexical structure of your code.
`BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL` was duplicated as the opcode for both var-positional and var-keyword arguments. The opcode for the former was updated as `BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK_WITH_CALL`.
The openfp functions of aifp, sunau, and wave had pointed to the open
function of each module since 1993 as a matter of backwards
compatibility. In the case of aifc.openfp, it was both undocumented
and untested. This change begins the formal deprecation of those
openfp functions, with their removal coming in 3.9.
This additionally adds a TODO in test_pyclbr around using aifc.openfp,
though it shouldn't be changed until removal in 3.9.
kB (*kilo* byte) unit means 1000 bytes, whereas KiB ("kibibyte")
means 1024 bytes. KB was misused: replace kB or KB with KiB when
appropriate.
Same change for MB and GB which become MiB and GiB.
Change the output of Tools/iobench/iobench.py.
Round also the size of the documentation from 5.5 MB to 5 MiB.
