_PyCoreConfig_Read() is now responsible to choose the filesystem
encoding and error handler. Using Py_Main(), the encoding is now
chosen even before calling Py_Initialize().
_PyCoreConfig.filesystem_encoding is now the reference, instead of
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, for the Python filesystem encoding.
Changes:
* Add filesystem_encoding and filesystem_errors to _PyCoreConfig
* _PyCoreConfig_Read() now reads the locale encoding for the file
system encoding.
* PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() and PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize()
now use the interpreter configuration rather than
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding and Py_FileSystemDefaultEncodeErrors
global configuration variables.
* Add _Py_SetFileSystemEncoding() and _Py_ClearFileSystemEncoding()
private functions to only modify Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding and
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncodeErrors in coreconfig.c.
* _Py_CoerceLegacyLocale() now takes an int rather than
_PyCoreConfig for the warning.
Python now gets the locale encoding with C code to initialize the encoding
of standard streams like sys.stdout. Moreover, the encoding is now
initialized to the Python codec name to get a normalized encoding name and
to ensure that the codec is loaded. The change avoids importing
_bootlocale and _locale modules at startup by default.
When the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable only contains an encoding,
the error handler is now is now set explicitly to "strict".
Rename also get_default_standard_stream_error_handler() to
get_stdio_errors().
Reduce the buffer to format the "cpXXX" string (Windows locale encoding).
Py_Main() can again be called after Py_Initialize(), as in Python
3.6. The new configuration is ignored, except of
_PyMainInterpreterConfig.argv which is used to update sys.argv.
- new test case for pre-initialization of sys.warnoptions and sys._xoptions
- restored ability to call these APIs prior to Py_Initialize
- updated the docs for the affected APIs to make it clear they can be
called before Py_Initialize
- also enhanced the existing embedding test cases
to check for expected settings in the sys module
Skip the test failing randomly because of known race condition.
Skip the test to fix macOS buildbots until a decision is made on the
proper fix for the race condition.
When PyGILState_Ensure() is called in a non-Python thread before
PyEval_InitThreads(), only call PyEval_InitThreads() after calling
PyThreadState_New() to fix a crash.
Add an unit test in test_embed.
Some parts of the C API are only relevant to larger
applications embedding CPython as a runtime engine.
The helpers to test those APIs are already separated
out into Programs/_testembed.c, this update moves
the associated test cases out into their own dedicated
test file.
