Python 开发模式

3.7 版新增。

Python 开发模式引入默认情况下,启用非常昂贵的额外运行时校验。它不应该比默认更冗余,若代码正确;才发出新警告,当检测到问题时。

可以启用它使用 -X dev 命令行选项或通过设置 PYTHONDEVMODE 环境变量到 1 .

Python 开发模式的影响

启用 Python 开发模式类似于以下命令,但有额外效果如下所述:

PYTHONMALLOC=debug PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG=1 python3 -W default -X faulthandler
					

Python 开发模式的影响:

The Python Development Mode does not enable the tracemalloc module by default, because the overhead cost (to performance and memory) would be too large. Enabling the tracemalloc module provides additional information on the origin of some errors. For example, ResourceWarning logs the traceback where the resource was allocated, and a buffer overflow error logs the traceback where the memory block was allocated.

The Python Development Mode does not prevent the -O command line option from removing assert statements nor from setting __debug__ to False .

The Python Development Mode can only be enabled at the Python startup. Its value can be read from sys.flags.dev_mode .

3.8 版改变: io.IOBase destructor now logs close() 异常。

3.9 版改变: encoding and errors arguments are now checked for string encoding and decoding operations.

ResourceWarning 范例

Example of a script counting the number of lines of the text file specified in the command line:

import sys
def main():
    fp = open(sys.argv[1])
    nlines = len(fp.readlines())
    print(nlines)
    # The file is closed implicitly
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
					

The script does not close the file explicitly. By default, Python does not emit any warning. Example using README.txt, which has 269 lines:

$ python3 script.py README.txt
269
					

Enabling the Python Development Mode displays a ResourceWarning 警告:

$ python3 -X dev script.py README.txt
269
script.py:10: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.TextIOWrapper name='README.rst' mode='r' encoding='UTF-8'>
  main()
ResourceWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback
					

In addition, enabling tracemalloc shows the line where the file was opened:

$ python3 -X dev -X tracemalloc=5 script.py README.rst
269
script.py:10: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.TextIOWrapper name='README.rst' mode='r' encoding='UTF-8'>
  main()
Object allocated at (most recent call last):
  File "script.py", lineno 10
    main()
  File "script.py", lineno 4
    fp = open(sys.argv[1])
					

The fix is to close explicitly the file. Example using a context manager:

def main():
    # Close the file explicitly when exiting the with block
    with open(sys.argv[1]) as fp:
        nlines = len(fp.readlines())
    print(nlines)
					

Not closing a resource explicitly can leave a resource open for way longer than expected; it can cause severe issues upon exiting Python. It is bad in CPython, but it is even worse in PyPy. Closing resources explicitly makes an application more deterministic and more reliable.

坏的文件描述符错误范例

Script displaying the first line of itself:

import os
def main():
    fp = open(__file__)
    firstline = fp.readline()
    print(firstline.rstrip())
    os.close(fp.fileno())
    # The file is closed implicitly
main()
					

By default, Python does not emit any warning:

$ python3 script.py
import os
					

The Python Development Mode shows a ResourceWarning and logs a “Bad file descriptor” error when finalizing the file object:

$ python3 script.py
import os
script.py:10: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.TextIOWrapper name='script.py' mode='r' encoding='UTF-8'>
  main()
ResourceWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback
Exception ignored in: <_io.TextIOWrapper name='script.py' mode='r' encoding='UTF-8'>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "script.py", line 10, in <module>
    main()
OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor
					

os.close(fp.fileno()) closes the file descriptor. When the file object finalizer tries to close the file descriptor again, it fails with the Bad file descriptor error. A file descriptor must be closed only once. In the worst case scenario, closing it twice can lead to a crash (see bpo-18748 了解范例)。

The fix is to remove the os.close(fp.fileno()) line, or open the file with closefd=False .
