新特征

赋值表达式

有新句法 := 将值赋值给变量作为更大表达式的一部分。它被亲切称为 "海象运算符"，由于形似 海象的眼睛和长牙 .

在此范例中，赋值表达式帮助避免调用 len() 两次： 

if (n := len(a)) > 10:
    print(f"List is too long ({n} elements, expected <= 10)")

A similar benefit arises during regular expression matching where match objects are needed twice, once to test whether a match occurred and another to extract a subgroup: 

discount = 0.0
if (mo := re.search(r'(\d+)% discount', advertisement)):
    discount = float(mo.group(1)) / 100.0

The operator is also useful with while-loops that compute a value to test loop termination and then need that same value again in the body of the loop: 

# Loop over fixed length blocks
while (block := f.read(256)) != '':
    process(block)

Another motivating use case arises in list comprehensions where a value computed in a filtering condition is also needed in the expression body: 

[clean_name.title() for name in names
 if (clean_name := normalize('NFC', name)) in allowed_names]

Try to limit use of the walrus operator to clean cases that reduce complexity and improve readability.

仅位置参数

There is a new function parameter syntax / to indicate that some function parameters must be specified positionally and cannot be used as keyword arguments. This is the same notation shown by help() for C functions annotated with Larry Hastings’ Argument Clinic 工具。

In the following example, parameters a and b are positional-only, while c or d can be positional or keyword, and e or f are required to be keywords: 

def f(a, b, /, c, d, *, e, f):
    print(a, b, c, d, e, f)

The following is a valid call: 

f(10, 20, 30, d=40, e=50, f=60)

However, these are invalid calls: 

f(10, b=20, c=30, d=40, e=50, f=60)   # b cannot be a keyword argument
f(10, 20, 30, 40, 50, f=60)           # e must be a keyword argument

One use case for this notation is that it allows pure Python functions to fully emulate behaviors of existing C coded functions. For example, the built-in divmod() function does not accept keyword arguments: 

def divmod(a, b, /):
    "Emulate the built in divmod() function"
    return (a // b, a % b)

Another use case is to preclude keyword arguments when the parameter name is not helpful. For example, the builtin len() function has the signature len(obj, /) . This precludes awkward calls such as: 

len(obj='hello')  # The "obj" keyword argument impairs readability

A further benefit of marking a parameter as positional-only is that it allows the parameter name to be changed in the future without risk of breaking client code. For example, in the statistics module, the parameter name dist may be changed in the future. This was made possible with the following function specification: 

def quantiles(dist, /, *, n=4, method='exclusive')
    ...

Since the parameters to the left of / are not exposed as possible keywords, the parameters names remain available for use in **kwargs : 

>>> def f(a, b, /, **kwargs):
...     print(a, b, kwargs)
...
>>> f(10, 20, a=1, b=2, c=3)         # a and b are used in two ways
10 20 {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

This greatly simplifies the implementation of functions and methods that need to accept arbitrary keyword arguments. For example, here is an excerpt from code in the collections 模块： 

class Counter(dict):
    def __init__(self, iterable=None, /, **kwds):
        # Note "iterable" is a possible keyword argument

用于编译字节码文件的平行文件系统缓存

新的 PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX 设置 (也可用作 -X pycache_prefix ) 将隐式字节码缓存配置为使用单独平行文件系统树，而不是默认 __pycache__ 子目录在各源目录。

缓存位置的报告在 sys.pycache_prefix ( None 指示默认位置在 __pycache__ 子目录)。

调试构建使用如发行构建的相同 ABI

Python 现在使用相同 ABI，不管是在发行模式，还是在调试模式下进行构建。在 Unix，当 Python 在调试模式下构建时，现在加载在发行模式下构建的 C 扩展和使用稳定 ABI 构建的 C 扩展是可能的。

Release builds and debug builds are now ABI compatible: defining the Py_DEBUG 宏不再隐含 Py_TRACE_REFS 宏， Py_TRACE_REFS macro, which adds the sys.getobjects() 函数和 PYTHONDUMPREFS environment variable, can be set using the new ./configure --with-trace-refs build option. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-36465 )。

On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython except on Android and Cygwin. It is now possible for a statically linked Python to load a C extension built using a shared library Python. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-21536 )。

On Unix, when Python is built in debug mode, import now also looks for C extensions compiled in release mode and for C extensions compiled with the stable ABI. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-36722 )。

To embed Python into an application, a new --embed option must be passed to python3-config --libs --embed to get -lpython3.8 (link the application to libpython). To support both 3.8 and older, try python3-config --libs --embed first and fallback to python3-config --libs (without --embed ) if the previous command fails.

Add a pkg-config python-3.8-embed module to embed Python into an application: pkg-config python-3.8-embed --libs 包括 -lpython3.8 . To support both 3.8 and older, try pkg-config python-X.Y-embed --libs first and fallback to pkg-config python-X.Y --libs (without --embed ) if the previous command fails (replace X.Y with the Python version).

On the other hand, pkg-config python3.8 --libs no longer contains -lpython3.8 . C extensions must not be linked to libpython (except on Android and Cygwin, whose cases are handled by the script); this change is backward incompatible on purpose. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-36721 )。

f-strings 支持 = for self-documenting expressions and debugging

Added an = specifier to f-string s. An f-string such as f'{expr=}' will expand to the text of the expression, an equal sign, then the representation of the evaluated expression. For example: 

>>> user = 'eric_idle'
>>> member_since = date(1975, 7, 31)
>>> f'{user=} {member_since=}'
"user='eric_idle' member_since=datetime.date(1975, 7, 31)"

The usual f-string format specifiers allow more control over how the result of the expression is displayed: 

>>> delta = date.today() - member_since
>>> f'{user=!s}  {delta.days=:,d}'
'user=eric_idle  delta.days=16,075'

= specifier will display the whole expression so that calculations can be shown: 

>>> print(f'{theta=}  {cos(radians(theta))=:.3f}')
theta=30  cos(radians(theta))=0.866

PEP 578: Python Runtime Audit Hooks

The PEP adds an Audit Hook and Verified Open Hook. Both are available from Python and native code, allowing applications and frameworks written in pure Python code to take advantage of extra notifications, while also allowing embedders or system administrators to deploy builds of Python where auditing is always enabled.

见 PEP 578 for full details.

PEP 587: Python Initialization Configuration

PEP 587 adds a new C API to configure the Python Initialization providing finer control on the whole configuration and better error reporting.

New structures:

New functions:

This PEP also adds _PyRuntimeState.preconfig ( PyPreConfig type) and PyInterpreterState.config ( PyConfig type) fields to these internal structures. PyInterpreterState.config becomes the new reference configuration, replacing global configuration variables and other private variables.

PEP 590: Vectorcall: a fast calling protocol for CPython

The Vectorcall Protocol is added to the Python/C API. It is meant to formalize existing optimizations which were already done for various classes. Any static type implementing a callable can use this protocol.

This is currently provisional. The aim is to make it fully public in Python 3.9.

Pickle protocol 5 with out-of-band data buffers

当 pickle is used to transfer large data between Python processes in order to take advantage of multi-core or multi-machine processing, it is important to optimize the transfer by reducing memory copies, and possibly by applying custom techniques such as data-dependent compression.

pickle protocol 5 introduces support for out-of-band buffers where PEP 3118 -compatible data can be transmitted separately from the main pickle stream, at the discretion of the communication layer.

其它语言变化

  • A continue statement was illegal in the finally clause due to a problem with the implementation. In Python 3.8 this restriction was lifted. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-32489 )。

  • bool , int ，和 fractions.Fraction types now have an as_integer_ratio() method like that found in float and decimal.Decimal . This minor API extension makes it possible to write numerator, denominator = x.as_integer_ratio() and have it work across multiple numeric types. (Contributed by Lisa Roach in bpo-33073 and Raymond Hettinger in bpo-37819 )。

  • Constructors of int , float and complex will now use the __index__() special method, if available and the corresponding method __int__() , __float__() or __complex__() is not available. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-20092 )。

  • 添加支持 \N{name} escapes in regular expressions : 

    >>> notice = 'Copyright © 2019'
>>> copyright_year_pattern = re.compile(r'\N{copyright sign}\s*(\d{4})')
>>> int(copyright_year_pattern.search(notice).group(1))
2019

    (Contributed by Jonathan Eunice and Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-30688 )。

  • Dict and dictviews are now iterable in reversed insertion order using reversed() . (Contributed by Rémi Lapeyre in bpo-33462 )。

  • The syntax allowed for keyword names in function calls was further restricted. In particular, f((keyword)=arg) is no longer allowed. It was never intended to permit more than a bare name on the left-hand side of a keyword argument assignment term. (Contributed by Benjamin Peterson in bpo-34641 )。

  • Generalized iterable unpacking in yield and return statements no longer requires enclosing parentheses. This brings the yield and return syntax into better agreement with normal assignment syntax: 

    >>> def parse(family):
        lastname, *members = family.split()
        return lastname.upper(), *members
>>> parse('simpsons homer marge bart lisa maggie')
('SIMPSONS', 'homer', 'marge', 'bart', 'lisa', 'maggie')

    (Contributed by David Cuthbert and Jordan Chapman in bpo-32117 )。

  • When a comma is missed in code such as [(10, 20) (30, 40)] , the compiler displays a SyntaxWarning with a helpful suggestion. This improves on just having a TypeError indicating that the first tuple was not callable. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-15248 )。

  • Arithmetic operations between subclasses of datetime.date or datetime.datetime and datetime.timedelta objects now return an instance of the subclass, rather than the base class. This also affects the return type of operations whose implementation (directly or indirectly) uses datetime.timedelta arithmetic, such as astimezone() . (Contributed by Paul Ganssle in bpo-32417 )。

  • When the Python interpreter is interrupted by Ctrl-C (SIGINT) and the resulting KeyboardInterrupt exception is not caught, the Python process now exits via a SIGINT signal or with the correct exit code such that the calling process can detect that it died due to a Ctrl-C. Shells on POSIX and Windows use this to properly terminate scripts in interactive sessions. (Contributed by Google via Gregory P. Smith in bpo-1054041 )。

  • Some advanced styles of programming require updating the types.CodeType object for an existing function. Since code objects are immutable, a new code object needs to be created, one that is modeled on the existing code object. With 19 parameters, this was somewhat tedious. Now, the new replace() method makes it possible to create a clone with a few altered parameters.

    Here’s an example that alters the statistics.mean() function to prevent the data parameter from being used as a keyword argument: 

    >>> from statistics import mean
>>> mean(data=[10, 20, 90])
40
>>> mean.__code__ = mean.__code__.replace(co_posonlyargcount=1)
>>> mean(data=[10, 20, 90])
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
TypeError: mean() got some positional-only arguments passed as keyword arguments: 'data'

    (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-37032 )。

  • For integers, the three-argument form of the pow() function now permits the exponent to be negative in the case where the base is relatively prime to the modulus. It then computes a modular inverse to the base when the exponent is -1 , and a suitable power of that inverse for other negative exponents. For example, to compute the modular multiplicative inverse of 38 modulo 137, write: 

    >>> pow(38, -1, 137)
119
>>> 119 * 38 % 137
1

    Modular inverses arise in the solution of linear Diophantine equations . For example, to find integer solutions for 4258𝑥 + 147𝑦 = 369 , first rewrite as 4258𝑥 ≡ 369 (mod 147) then solve: 

    >>> x = 369 * pow(4258, -1, 147) % 147
>>> y = (4258 * x - 369) // -147
>>> 4258 * x + 147 * y
369

    (Contributed by Mark Dickinson in bpo-36027 )。

  • Dict comprehensions have been synced-up with dict literals so that the key is computed first and the value second: 

    >>> # Dict comprehension
>>> cast = {input('role? '): input('actor? ') for i in range(2)}
role? King Arthur
actor? Chapman
role? Black Knight
actor? Cleese
>>> # Dict literal
>>> cast = {input('role? '): input('actor? ')}
role? Sir Robin
actor? Eric Idle

    The guaranteed execution order is helpful with assignment expressions because variables assigned in the key expression will be available in the value expression: 

    >>> names = ['Martin von Löwis', 'Łukasz Langa', 'Walter Dörwald']
>>> {(n := normalize('NFC', name)).casefold() : n for name in names}
{'martin von löwis': 'Martin von Löwis',
 'łukasz langa': 'Łukasz Langa',
 'walter dörwald': 'Walter Dörwald'}

    (Contributed by Jörn Heissler in bpo-35224 )。

  • object.__reduce__() method can now return a tuple from two to six elements long. Formerly, five was the limit. The new, optional sixth element is a callable with a (obj, state) signature. This allows the direct control over the state-updating behavior of a specific object. If not None , this callable will have priority over the object’s __setstate__() method. (Contributed by Pierre Glaser and Olivier Grisel in bpo-35900 )。

新模块

  • 新的 importlib.metadata module provides (provisional) support for reading metadata from third-party packages. For example, it can extract an installed package’s version number, list of entry points, and more: 

    >>> # Note following example requires that the popular "requests"
>>> # package has been installed.
>>>
>>> from importlib.metadata import version, requires, files
>>> version('requests')
'2.22.0'
>>> list(requires('requests'))
['chardet (<3.1.0,>=3.0.2)']
>>> list(files('requests'))[:5]
[PackagePath('requests-2.22.0.dist-info/INSTALLER'),
 PackagePath('requests-2.22.0.dist-info/LICENSE'),
 PackagePath('requests-2.22.0.dist-info/METADATA'),
 PackagePath('requests-2.22.0.dist-info/RECORD'),
 PackagePath('requests-2.22.0.dist-info/WHEEL')]

改进模块

ast

AST nodes now have end_lineno and end_col_offset attributes, which give the precise location of the end of the node. (This only applies to nodes that have lineno and col_offset attributes.)

New function ast.get_source_segment() returns the source code for a specific AST node.

(Contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi in bpo-33416 )。

ast.parse() function has some new flags:

  • type_comments=True causes it to return the text of PEP 484 and PEP 526 type comments associated with certain AST nodes;

  • mode='func_type' can be used to parse PEP 484 “signature type comments” (returned for function definition AST nodes);

  • feature_version=(3, N) allows specifying an earlier Python 3 version. For example, feature_version=(3, 4) will treat async and await as non-reserved words.

(Contributed by Guido van Rossum in bpo-35766 )。

asyncio

asyncio.run() has graduated from the provisional to stable API. This function can be used to execute a 协程 and return the result while automatically managing the event loop. For example: 

import asyncio
async def main():
    await asyncio.sleep(0)
    return 42
asyncio.run(main())

这为 roughly equivalent to: 

import asyncio
async def main():
    await asyncio.sleep(0)
    return 42
loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
try:
    loop.run_until_complete(main())
finally:
    asyncio.set_event_loop(None)
    loop.close()

The actual implementation is significantly more complex. Thus, asyncio.run() should be the preferred way of running asyncio programs.

(Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-32314 )。

运行 python -m asyncio launches a natively async REPL. This allows rapid experimentation with code that has a top-level await . There is no longer a need to directly call asyncio.run() which would spawn a new event loop on every invocation: 

$ python -m asyncio
asyncio REPL 3.8.0
Use "await" directly instead of "asyncio.run()".
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import asyncio
>>> await asyncio.sleep(10, result='hello')
hello

(Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-37028 )。

The exception asyncio.CancelledError now inherits from BaseException 而不是 Exception and no longer inherits from concurrent.futures.CancelledError . (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-32528 )。

On Windows, the default event loop is now ProactorEventLoop . (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-34687 )。

ProactorEventLoop now also supports UDP. (Contributed by Adam Meily and Andrew Svetlov in bpo-29883 )。

ProactorEventLoop can now be interrupted by KeyboardInterrupt (“CTRL+C”). (Contributed by Vladimir Matveev in bpo-23057 )。

添加 asyncio.Task.get_coro() for getting the wrapped coroutine within an asyncio.Task . (Contributed by Alex Grönholm in bpo-36999 )。

Asyncio tasks can now be named, either by passing the name keyword argument to asyncio.create_task() 或 create_task() event loop method, or by calling the set_name() method on the task object. The task name is visible in the repr() output of asyncio.Task and can also be retrieved using the get_name() method. (Contributed by Alex Grönholm in bpo-34270 )。

添加支持 Happy Eyeballs to asyncio.loop.create_connection() . To specify the behavior, two new parameters have been added: happy_eyeballs_delay and interleave . The Happy Eyeballs algorithm improves responsiveness in applications that support IPv4 and IPv6 by attempting to simultaneously connect using both. (Contributed by twisteroid ambassador in bpo-33530 )。

builtins

compile() built-in has been improved to accept the ast.PyCF_ALLOW_TOP_LEVEL_AWAIT flag. With this new flag passed, compile() will allow top-level await , async for and async with constructs that are usually considered invalid syntax. Asynchronous code object marked with the CO_COROUTINE flag may then be returned. (Contributed by Matthias Bussonnier in bpo-34616 )

collections

_asdict() 方法对于 collections.namedtuple() now returns a dict 而不是 collections.OrderedDict . This works because regular dicts have guaranteed ordering since Python 3.7. If the extra features of OrderedDict 是必需的，补救建议是将结果铸造成期望类型： OrderedDict(nt._asdict()) . (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-35864 )。

cProfile

cProfile.Profile class can now be used as a context manager. Profile a block of code by running: 

import cProfile
with cProfile.Profile() as profiler:
      # code to be profiled
      ...

(Contributed by Scott Sanderson in bpo-29235 )。

csv

csv.DictReader now returns instances of dict 而不是 collections.OrderedDict . The tool is now faster and uses less memory while still preserving the field order. (Contributed by Michael Selik in bpo-34003 )。

curses

Added a new variable holding structured version information for the underlying ncurses library: ncurses_version . (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-31680 )。

ctypes

在 Windows， CDLL 和子类现在接受 winmode 参数以指定标志为底层 LoadLibraryEx 调用。默认标志被设为仅从受信任位置加载 DLL 依赖，包括 DLL 存储路径 (若使用完整或部分路径来加载初始 DLL) 和添加路径通过 add_dll_directory() 。(由 Steve Dower 史蒂夫·道尔提供在 bpo-36085 )。

datetime

Added new alternate constructors datetime.date.fromisocalendar() and datetime.datetime.fromisocalendar() , which construct date and datetime objects respectively from ISO year, week number, and weekday; these are the inverse of each class’s isocalendar method. (Contributed by Paul Ganssle in bpo-36004 )。

functools

functools.lru_cache() can now be used as a straight decorator rather than as a function returning a decorator. So both of these are now supported: 

@lru_cache
def f(x):
    ...
@lru_cache(maxsize=256)
def f(x):
    ...

(Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-36772 )。

添加新 functools.cached_property() decorator, for computed properties cached for the life of the instance. 

import functools
import statistics
class Dataset:
   def __init__(self, sequence_of_numbers):
      self.data = sequence_of_numbers
   @functools.cached_property
   def variance(self):
      return statistics.variance(self.data)

(由 Carl Meyer 贡献于 bpo-21145 )

添加新 functools.singledispatchmethod() decorator that converts methods into generic functions 使用 单次分派 : 

from functools import singledispatchmethod
from contextlib import suppress
class TaskManager:
    def __init__(self, tasks):
        self.tasks = list(tasks)
    @singledispatchmethod
    def discard(self, value):
        with suppress(ValueError):
            self.tasks.remove(value)
    @discard.register(list)
    def _(self, tasks):
        targets = set(tasks)
        self.tasks = [x for x in self.tasks if x not in targets]

(Contributed by Ethan Smith in bpo-32380 )

gc

get_objects() can now receive an optional generation parameter indicating a generation to get objects from. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in bpo-36016 )。

gettext

添加 pgettext() and its variants. (Contributed by Franz Glasner, Éric Araujo, and Cheryl Sabella in bpo-2504 )。

gzip

添加 mtime 参数用于 gzip.compress() for reproducible output. (Contributed by Guo Ci Teo in bpo-34898 )。

A BadGzipFile exception is now raised instead of OSError for certain types of invalid or corrupt gzip files. (Contributed by Filip Gruszczyński, Michele Orrù, and Zackery Spytz in bpo-6584 )。

IDLE and idlelib

Output over N lines (50 by default) is squeezed down to a button. N can be changed in the PyShell section of the General page of the Settings dialog. Fewer, but possibly extra long, lines can be squeezed by right clicking on the output. Squeezed output can be expanded in place by double-clicking the button or into the clipboard or a separate window by right-clicking the button. (Contributed by Tal Einat in bpo-1529353 )。

Add “Run Customized” to the Run menu to run a module with customized settings. Any command line arguments entered are added to sys.argv. They also re-appear in the box for the next customized run. One can also suppress the normal Shell main module restart. (Contributed by Cheryl Sabella, Terry Jan Reedy, and others in bpo-5680 and bpo-37627 )。

Added optional line numbers for IDLE editor windows. Windows open without line numbers unless set otherwise in the General tab of the configuration dialog. Line numbers for an existing window are shown and hidden in the Options menu. (Contributed by Tal Einat and Saimadhav Heblikar in bpo-17535 )。

OS native encoding is now used for converting between Python strings and Tcl objects. This allows IDLE to work with emoji and other non-BMP characters. These characters can be displayed or copied and pasted to or from the clipboard. Converting strings from Tcl to Python and back now never fails. (Many people worked on this for eight years but the problem was finally solved by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-13153 )。

New in 3.8.1:

Add option to toggle cursor blink off. (Contributed by Zackery Spytz in bpo-4603 )。

Escape key now closes IDLE completion windows. (Contributed by Johnny Najera in bpo-38944 )。

The changes above have been backported to 3.7 maintenance releases.

Add keywords to module name completion list. (Contributed by Terry J. Reedy in bpo-37765 )。

inspect

inspect.getdoc() function can now find docstrings for __slots__ if that attribute is a dict where the values are docstrings. This provides documentation options similar to what we already have for property() , classmethod() ，和 staticmethod() : 

class AudioClip:
    __slots__ = {'bit_rate': 'expressed in kilohertz to one decimal place',
                 'duration': 'in seconds, rounded up to an integer'}
    def __init__(self, bit_rate, duration):
        self.bit_rate = round(bit_rate / 1000.0, 1)
        self.duration = ceil(duration)

(Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-36326 )。

io

In development mode ( -X env ) and in 调试构建 ， io.IOBase finalizer now logs the exception if the close() method fails. The exception is ignored silently by default in release build. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-18748 )。

itertools

itertools.accumulate() function added an option initial keyword argument to specify an initial value: 

>>> from itertools import accumulate
>>> list(accumulate([10, 5, 30, 15], initial=1000))
[1000, 1010, 1015, 1045, 1060]

(Contributed by Lisa Roach in bpo-34659 )。

json.tool

Add option --json-lines to parse every input line as a separate JSON object. (Contributed by Weipeng Hong in bpo-31553 )。

logging

添加 force keyword argument to logging.basicConfig() When set to true, any existing handlers attached to the root logger are removed and closed before carrying out the configuration specified by the other arguments.

This solves a long-standing problem. Once a logger or basicConfig() had been called, subsequent calls to basicConfig() were silently ignored. This made it difficult to update, experiment with, or teach the various logging configuration options using the interactive prompt or a Jupyter notebook.

(Suggested by Raymond Hettinger, implemented by Dong-hee Na, and reviewed by Vinay Sajip in bpo-33897 )。

math

添加新的函数 math.dist() for computing Euclidean distance between two points. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-33089 )。

Expanded the math.hypot() function to handle multiple dimensions. Formerly, it only supported the 2-D case. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-33089 )。

Added new function, math.prod() , as analogous function to sum() that returns the product of a ‘start’ value (default: 1) times an iterable of numbers: 

>>> prior = 0.8
>>> likelihoods = [0.625, 0.84, 0.30]
>>> math.prod(likelihoods, start=prior)
0.126

Added two new combinatoric functions math.perm() and math.comb() : 

>>> math.perm(10, 3)    # Permutations of 10 things taken 3 at a time
720
>>> math.comb(10, 3)    # Combinations of 10 things taken 3 at a time
120

添加新函数 math.isqrt() for computing accurate integer square roots without conversion to floating point. The new function supports arbitrarily large integers. It is faster than floor(sqrt(n)) but slower than math.sqrt() : 

>>> r = 650320427
>>> s = r ** 2
>>> isqrt(s - 1)         # correct
650320426
>>> floor(sqrt(s - 1))   # incorrect
650320427

函数 math.factorial() no longer accepts arguments that are not int-like. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in bpo-33083 )。

mmap

mmap.mmap class now has an madvise() method to access the madvise() system call. (Contributed by Zackery Spytz in bpo-32941 )。

multiprocessing

添加新 multiprocessing.shared_memory module. (Contributed by Davin Potts in bpo-35813 )。

在 macOS， spawn start method is now used by default. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-33725 )。

os

添加新的函数 add_dll_directory() 在 Windows 用于为本机依赖提供额外搜索路径，当导入扩展模块时或加载 DLL 使用 ctypes 。(由 Steve Dower 史蒂夫·道尔提供在 bpo-36085 )。

新的 os.memfd_create() function was added to wrap the memfd_create() syscall. (Contributed by Zackery Spytz and Christian Heimes in bpo-26836 )。

On Windows, much of the manual logic for handling reparse points (including symlinks and directory junctions) has been delegated to the operating system. Specifically, os.stat() will now traverse anything supported by the operating system, while os.lstat() will only open reparse points that identify as “name surrogates” while others are opened as for os.stat() . In all cases, stat_result.st_mode will only have S_IFLNK set for symbolic links and not other kinds of reparse points. To identify other kinds of reparse point, check the new stat_result.st_reparse_tag 属性。

在 Windows， os.readlink() is now able to read directory junctions. Note that islink() 将返回 False for directory junctions, and so code that checks islink first will continue to treat junctions as directories, while code that handles errors from os.readlink() may now treat junctions as links.

(Contributed by Steve Dower in bpo-37834 )。

os.path

os.path functions that return a boolean result like exists() , lexists() , isdir() , isfile() , islink() ，和 ismount() 现在返回 False 而不是引发 ValueError or its subclasses UnicodeEncodeError and UnicodeDecodeError for paths that contain characters or bytes unrepresentable at the OS level. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-33721 )。

expanduser() on Windows now prefers the USERPROFILE environment variable and does not use HOME , which is not normally set for regular user accounts. (Contributed by Anthony Sottile in bpo-36264 )。

isdir() on Windows no longer returns True for a link to a non-existent directory.

realpath() on Windows now resolves reparse points, including symlinks and directory junctions.

pathlib

pathlib.Path methods that return a boolean result like exists() , is_dir() , is_file() , is_mount() , is_symlink() , is_block_device() , is_char_device() , is_fifo() , is_socket() 现在返回 False 而不是引发 ValueError or its subclass UnicodeEncodeError for paths that contain characters unrepresentable at the OS level. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-33721 )。

添加 pathlib.Path.link_to() which creates a hard link pointing to a path. (Contributed by Joannah Nanjekye in bpo-26978 )

pickle

pickle extensions subclassing the C-optimized Pickler can now override the pickling logic of functions and classes by defining the special reducer_override() method. (Contributed by Pierre Glaser and Olivier Grisel in bpo-35900 )。

plistlib

添加新 plistlib.UID and enabled support for reading and writing NSKeyedArchiver-encoded binary plists. (Contributed by Jon Janzen in bpo-26707 )。

pprint

pprint module added a sort_dicts parameter to several functions. By default, those functions continue to sort dictionaries before rendering or printing. However, if sort_dicts is set to false, the dictionaries retain the order that keys were inserted. This can be useful for comparison to JSON inputs during debugging.

In addition, there is a convenience new function, pprint.pp() that is like pprint.pprint() but with sort_dicts defaulting to False : 

>>> from pprint import pprint, pp
>>> d = dict(source='input.txt', operation='filter', destination='output.txt')
>>> pp(d, width=40)                  # Original order
{'source': 'input.txt',
 'operation': 'filter',
 'destination': 'output.txt'}
>>> pprint(d, width=40)              # Keys sorted alphabetically
{'destination': 'output.txt',
 'operation': 'filter',
 'source': 'input.txt'}

shutil

shutil.copytree() now accepts a new dirs_exist_ok keyword argument. (Contributed by Josh Bronson in bpo-20849 )。

shutil.make_archive() now defaults to the modern pax (POSIX.1-2001) format for new archives to improve portability and standards conformance, inherited from the corresponding change to the tarfile module. (Contributed by C.A.M. Gerlach in bpo-30661 )。

shutil.rmtree() on Windows now removes directory junctions without recursively removing their contents first. (Contributed by Steve Dower in bpo-37834 )。

添加 create_server() and has_dualstack_ipv6() convenience functions to automate the necessary tasks usually involved when creating a server socket, including accepting both IPv4 and IPv6 connections on the same socket. (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodolà in bpo-17561 )。

socket.if_nameindex() , socket.if_nametoindex() ，和 socket.if_indextoname() functions have been implemented on Windows. (Contributed by Zackery Spytz in bpo-37007 )。

sys

Add new sys.unraisablehook() function which can be overridden to control how “unraisable exceptions” are handled. It is called when an exception has occurred but there is no way for Python to handle it. For example, when a destructor raises an exception or during garbage collection ( gc.collect() ). (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-36829 )。

tarfile

tarfile module now defaults to the modern pax (POSIX.1-2001) format for new archives, instead of the previous GNU-specific one. This improves cross-platform portability with a consistent encoding (UTF-8) in a standardized and extensible format, and offers several other benefits. (Contributed by C.A.M. Gerlach in bpo-36268 )。

threading

Add a new threading.excepthook() function which handles uncaught threading.Thread.run() exception. It can be overridden to control how uncaught threading.Thread.run() exceptions are handled. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-1230540 )。

Add a new threading.get_native_id() function and a native_id 属性到 threading.Thread class. These return the native integral Thread ID of the current thread assigned by the kernel. This feature is only available on certain platforms, see get_native_id for more information. (Contributed by Jake Tesler in bpo-36084 )。

tokenize

tokenize module now implicitly emits a NEWLINE token when provided with input that does not have a trailing new line. This behavior now matches what the C tokenizer does internally. (Contributed by Ammar Askar in bpo-33899 )。

typing

typing module incorporates several new features:

unicodedata

unicodedata module has been upgraded to use the Unicode 12.1.0 release.

New function is_normalized() can be used to verify a string is in a specific normal form, often much faster than by actually normalizing the string. (Contributed by Max Belanger, David Euresti, and Greg Price in bpo-32285 and bpo-37966 ).

unittest

添加 AsyncMock to support an asynchronous version of Mock . Appropriate new assert functions for testing have been added as well. (Contributed by Lisa Roach in bpo-26467 ).

添加 addModuleCleanup() and addClassCleanup() to unittest to support cleanups for setUpModule() and setUpClass() . (Contributed by Lisa Roach in bpo-24412 )。

Several mock assert functions now also print a list of actual calls upon failure. (Contributed by Petter Strandmark in bpo-35047 )。

unittest module gained support for coroutines to be used as test cases with unittest.IsolatedAsyncioTestCase . (Contributed by Andrew Svetlov in bpo-32972 )。

venv

venv now includes an Activate.ps1 script on all platforms for activating virtual environments under PowerShell Core 6.1. (Contributed by Brett Cannon in bpo-32718 )。

weakref

The proxy objects returned by weakref.proxy() now support the matrix multiplication operators @ and @= in addition to the other numeric operators. (Contributed by Mark Dickinson in bpo-36669 )。

xml

As mitigation against DTD and external entity retrieval, the xml.dom.minidom and xml.sax modules no longer process external entities by default. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-17239 )。

.find*() methods in the xml.etree.ElementTree module support wildcard searches like {*}tag which ignores the namespace and {namespace}* which returns all tags in the given namespace. (Contributed by Stefan Behnel in bpo-28238 )。

xml.etree.ElementTree module provides a new function –xml.etree.ElementTree.canonicalize() that implements C14N 2.0. (Contributed by Stefan Behnel in bpo-13611 )。

The target object of xml.etree.ElementTree.XMLParser can receive namespace declaration events through the new callback methods start_ns() and end_ns() 。此外， xml.etree.ElementTree.TreeBuilder target can be configured to process events about comments and processing instructions to include them in the generated tree. (Contributed by Stefan Behnel in bpo-36676 and bpo-36673 )。

xmlrpc

xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy now supports an optional headers keyword argument for a sequence of HTTP headers to be sent with each request. Among other things, this makes it possible to upgrade from default basic authentication to faster session authentication. (Contributed by Cédric Krier in bpo-35153 )。

优化

  • subprocess module can now use the os.posix_spawn() function in some cases for better performance. Currently, it is only used on macOS and Linux (using glibc 2.24 or newer) if all these conditions are met:

    • close_fds is false;

    • preexec_fn , pass_fds , cwd and start_new_session parameters are not set;

    • executable path contains a directory.

    (Contributed by Joannah Nanjekye and Victor Stinner in bpo-35537 )。

  • shutil.copyfile() , shutil.copy() , shutil.copy2() , shutil.copytree() and shutil.move() use platform-specific “fast-copy” syscalls on Linux and macOS in order to copy the file more efficiently. “fast-copy” means that the copying operation occurs within the kernel, avoiding the use of userspace buffers in Python as in “ outfd.write(infd.read()) ”. On Windows shutil.copyfile() uses a bigger default buffer size (1 MiB instead of 16 KiB) and a memoryview() -based variant of shutil.copyfileobj() is used. The speedup for copying a 512 MiB file within the same partition is about +26% on Linux, +50% on macOS and +40% on Windows. Also, much less CPU cycles are consumed. See 从属平台的高效拷贝操作 section. (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodolà in bpo-33671 )。

  • shutil.copytree() 使用 os.scandir() function and all copy functions depending from it use cached os.stat() values. The speedup for copying a directory with 8000 files is around +9% on Linux, +20% on Windows and +30% on a Windows SMB share. Also the number of os.stat() syscalls is reduced by 38% making shutil.copytree() especially faster on network filesystems. (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodolà in bpo-33695 )。

  • The default protocol in the pickle module is now Protocol 4, first introduced in Python 3.4. It offers better performance and smaller size compared to Protocol 3 available since Python 3.0.

  • Removed one Py_ssize_t member from PyGC_Head . All GC tracked objects (e.g. tuple, list, dict) size is reduced 4 or 8 bytes. (Contributed by Inada Naoki in bpo-33597 )。

  • uuid.UUID 现在使用 __slots__ to reduce its memory footprint. (Contributed by Wouter Bolsterlee and Tal Einat in bpo-30977 )

  • Improved performance of operator.itemgetter() by 33%. Optimized argument handling and added a fast path for the common case of a single non-negative integer index into a tuple (which is the typical use case in the standard library). (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-35664 )。

  • Sped-up field lookups in collections.namedtuple() . They are now more than two times faster, making them the fastest form of instance variable lookup in Python. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger, Pablo Galindo, and Joe Jevnik, Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-32492 )。

  • list constructor does not overallocate the internal item buffer if the input iterable has a known length (the input implements __len__ ). This makes the created list 12% smaller on average. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger and Pablo Galindo in bpo-33234 )。

  • Doubled the speed of class variable writes. When a non-dunder attribute was updated, there was an unnecessary call to update slots. (Contributed by Stefan Behnel, Pablo Galindo Salgado, Raymond Hettinger, Neil Schemenauer, and Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-36012 )。

  • Reduced an overhead of converting arguments passed to many builtin functions and methods. This sped up calling some simple builtin functions and methods up to 20–50%. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-23867 , bpo-35582 and bpo-36127 )。

  • LOAD_GLOBAL instruction now uses new “per opcode cache” mechanism. It is about 40% faster now. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov and Inada Naoki in bpo-26219 )。

构建和 C API 变化

  • 默认 sys.abiflags became an empty string: the m flag for pymalloc became useless (builds with and without pymalloc are ABI compatible) and so has been removed. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-36707 )。

    Example of changes:

    • 仅 python3.8 program is installed, python3.8m program is gone.

    • 仅 python3.8-config script is installed, python3.8m-config script is gone.

    • m flag has been removed from the suffix of dynamic library filenames: extension modules in the standard library as well as those produced and installed by third-party packages, like those downloaded from PyPI. On Linux, for example, the Python 3.7 suffix .cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so became .cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so in Python 3.8.

  • The header files have been reorganized to better separate the different kinds of APIs:

    • Include/*.h should be the portable public stable C API.

    • Include/cpython/*.h should be the unstable C API specific to CPython; public API, with some private API prefixed by _Py or _PY .

    • Include/internal/*.h is the private internal C API very specific to CPython. This API comes with no backward compatibility warranty and should not be used outside CPython. It is only exposed for very specific needs like debuggers and profiles which has to access to CPython internals without calling functions. This API is now installed by make install .

    (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-35134 and bpo-35081 , work initiated by Eric Snow in Python 3.7.)

  • Some macros have been converted to static inline functions: parameter types and return type are well defined, they don’t have issues specific to macros, variables have a local scopes. Examples:

    (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-35059 )。

  • PyByteArray_Init() and PyByteArray_Fini() functions have been removed. They did nothing since Python 2.7.4 and Python 3.2.0, were excluded from the limited API (stable ABI), and were not documented. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-35713 )。

  • The result of PyExceptionClass_Name() is now of type const char * rather of char * . (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-33818 )。

  • The duality of Modules/Setup.dist and Modules/Setup has been removed. Previously, when updating the CPython source tree, one had to manually copy Modules/Setup.dist (inside the source tree) to Modules/Setup (inside the build tree) in order to reflect any changes upstream. This was of a small benefit to packagers at the expense of a frequent annoyance to developers following CPython development, as forgetting to copy the file could produce build failures.

    Now the build system always reads from Modules/Setup inside the source tree. People who want to customize that file are encouraged to maintain their changes in a git fork of CPython or as patch files, as they would do for any other change to the source tree.

    (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-32430 )。

  • Functions that convert Python number to C integer like PyLong_AsLong() and argument parsing functions like PyArg_ParseTuple() with integer converting format units like 'i' will now use the __index__() special method instead of __int__() , if available. The deprecation warning will be emitted for objects with the __int__() method but without the __index__() method (like Decimal and Fraction ). PyNumber_Check() will now return 1 for objects implementing __index__() . PyNumber_Long() , PyNumber_Float() and PyFloat_AsDouble() also now use the __index__() method if available. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-36048 and bpo-20092 )。

  • Heap-allocated type objects will now increase their reference count in PyObject_Init() (and its parallel macro PyObject_INIT ) instead of in PyType_GenericAlloc() . Types that modify instance allocation or deallocation may need to be adjusted. (Contributed by Eddie Elizondo in bpo-35810 )。

  • The new function PyCode_NewWithPosOnlyArgs() allows to create code objects like PyCode_New() , but with an extra posonlyargcount parameter for indicating the number of positional-only arguments. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in bpo-37221 )。

  • Py_SetPath() now sets sys.executable to the program full path ( Py_GetProgramFullPath() ) rather than to the program name ( Py_GetProgramName() ). (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-38234 )。

弃用

API 和特征移除

The following features and APIs have been removed from Python 3.8:

  • Starting with Python 3.3, importing ABCs from collections was deprecated, and importing should be done from collections.abc . Being able to import from collections was marked for removal in 3.8, but has been delayed to 3.9. (See bpo-36952 )。

  • macpath module, deprecated in Python 3.7, has been removed. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-35471 )。

  • 函数 platform.popen() has been removed, after having been deprecated since Python 3.3: use os.popen() instead. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-35345 )。

  • 函数 time.clock() has been removed, after having been deprecated since Python 3.3: use time.perf_counter() or time.process_time() instead, depending on your requirements, to have well-defined behavior. (Contributed by Matthias Bussonnier in bpo-36895 )。

  • pyvenv script has been removed in favor of python3.8 -m venv to help eliminate confusion as to what Python interpreter the pyvenv script is tied to. (Contributed by Brett Cannon in bpo-25427 )。

  • parse_qs , parse_qsl ，和 escape are removed from the cgi module. They are deprecated in Python 3.2 or older. They should be imported from the urllib.parse and html modules instead.

  • filemode function is removed from the tarfile module. It is not documented and deprecated since Python 3.3.

  • XMLParser constructor no longer accepts the html argument. It never had an effect and was deprecated in Python 3.4. All other parameters are now 仅关键词 . (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-29209 )。

  • 移除 doctype() 方法为 XMLParser . (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-29209 )。

  • “unicode_internal” codec is removed. (Contributed by Inada Naoki in bpo-36297 )。

  • Cache and Statement objects of the sqlite3 module are not exposed to the user. (Contributed by Aviv Palivoda in bpo-30262 )。

  • bufsize keyword argument of fileinput.input() and fileinput.FileInput() which was ignored and deprecated since Python 3.6 has been removed. bpo-36952 (Contributed by Matthias Bussonnier.)

  • 函数 sys.set_coroutine_wrapper() and sys.get_coroutine_wrapper() deprecated in Python 3.7 have been removed; bpo-36933 (Contributed by Matthias Bussonnier.)

移植到 Python 3.8

This section lists previously described changes and other bugfixes that may require changes to your code.

Python 行为变化

  • Yield expressions (both yield and yield from clauses) are now disallowed in comprehensions and generator expressions (aside from the iterable expression in the leftmost for clause). (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-10544 )。

  • The compiler now produces a SyntaxWarning when identity checks ( is and is not ) are used with certain types of literals (e.g. strings, numbers). These can often work by accident in CPython, but are not guaranteed by the language spec. The warning advises users to use equality tests ( == and != ) instead. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-34850 )。

  • The CPython interpreter can swallow exceptions in some circumstances. In Python 3.8 this happens in fewer cases. In particular, exceptions raised when getting the attribute from the type dictionary are no longer ignored. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-35459 )。

  • 移除 __str__ implementations from builtin types bool , int , float , complex and few classes from the standard library. They now inherit __str__() from object . As result, defining the __repr__() method in the subclass of these classes will affect their string representation. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-36793 )。

  • On AIX, sys.platform 不再包含主要版本。它始终是 'aix' ，而不是 'aix3' .. 'aix7' . Since older Python versions include the version number, so it is recommended to always use sys.platform.startswith('aix') . (Contributed by M. Felt in bpo-36588 )。

  • PyEval_AcquireLock() and PyEval_AcquireThread() now terminate the current thread if called while the interpreter is finalizing, making them consistent with PyEval_RestoreThread() , Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS() ，和 PyGILState_Ensure() . If this behavior is not desired, guard the call by checking _Py_IsFinalizing() or sys.is_finalizing() . (Contributed by Joannah Nanjekye in bpo-36475 )。

Python API 变化

  • os.getcwdb() function now uses the UTF-8 encoding on Windows, rather than the ANSI code page: see PEP 529 for the rationale. The function is no longer deprecated on Windows. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-37412 )。

  • subprocess.Popen can now use os.posix_spawn() in some cases for better performance. On Windows Subsystem for Linux and QEMU User Emulation, the Popen constructor using os.posix_spawn() no longer raises an exception on errors like “missing program”. Instead the child process fails with a non-zero returncode . (Contributed by Joannah Nanjekye and Victor Stinner in bpo-35537 )。

  • preexec_fn argument of * subprocess.Popen is no longer compatible with subinterpreters. The use of the parameter in a subinterpreter now raises RuntimeError . (Contributed by Eric Snow in bpo-34651 , modified by Christian Heimes in bpo-37951 )。

  • imap.IMAP4.logout() method no longer silently ignores arbitrary exceptions. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-36348 )。

  • 函数 platform.popen() has been removed, after having been deprecated since Python 3.3: use os.popen() instead. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-35345 )。

  • statistics.mode() function no longer raises an exception when given multimodal data. Instead, it returns the first mode encountered in the input data. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-35892 )。

  • selection() 方法在 tkinter.ttk.Treeview class no longer takes arguments. Using it with arguments for changing the selection was deprecated in Python 3.6. Use specialized methods like selection_set() for changing the selection. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-31508 )。

  • writexml() , toxml() and toprettyxml() methods of xml.dom.minidom ，和 write() 方法为 xml.etree , now preserve the attribute order specified by the user. (Contributed by Diego Rojas and Raymond Hettinger in bpo-34160 )。

  • A dbm.dumb database opened with flags 'r' is now read-only. dbm.dumb.open() with flags 'r' and 'w' no longer creates a database if it does not exist. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-32749 )。

  • doctype() method defined in a subclass of XMLParser will no longer be called and will emit a RuntimeWarning 而不是 DeprecationWarning . Define the doctype() method on a target for handling an XML doctype declaration. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-29209 )。

  • A RuntimeError is now raised when the custom metaclass doesn’t provide the __classcell__ entry in the namespace passed to type.__new__ 。 DeprecationWarning was emitted in Python 3.6–3.7. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-23722 )。

  • cProfile.Profile class can now be used as a context manager. (Contributed by Scott Sanderson in bpo-29235 )。

  • shutil.copyfile() , shutil.copy() , shutil.copy2() , shutil.copytree() and shutil.move() use platform-specific “fast-copy” syscalls (see 从属平台的高效拷贝操作 section).

  • shutil.copyfile() default buffer size on Windows was changed from 16 KiB to 1 MiB.

  • PyGC_Head struct has changed completely. All code that touched the struct member should be rewritten. (See bpo-33597 )。

  • PyInterpreterState struct has been moved into the “internal” header files (specifically Include/internal/pycore_pystate.h). An opaque PyInterpreterState is still available as part of the public API (and stable ABI). The docs indicate that none of the struct’s fields are public, so we hope no one has been using them. However, if you do rely on one or more of those private fields and have no alternative then please open a BPO issue. We’ll work on helping you adjust (possibly including adding accessor functions to the public API). (See bpo-35886 )。

  • mmap.flush() method now returns None on success and raises an exception on error under all platforms. Previously, its behavior was platform-dependent: a nonzero value was returned on success; zero was returned on error under Windows. A zero value was returned on success; an exception was raised on error under Unix. (Contributed by Berker Peksag in bpo-2122 )。

  • xml.dom.minidom and xml.sax modules no longer process external entities by default. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-17239 )。

  • Deleting a key from a read-only dbm database ( dbm.dumb , dbm.gnu or dbm.ndbm ) raises error ( dbm.dumb.error , dbm.gnu.error or dbm.ndbm.error ) instead of KeyError . (Contributed by Xiang Zhang in bpo-33106 )。

  • Simplified AST for literals. All constants will be represented as ast.Constant instances. Instantiating old classes Num , Str , Bytes , NameConstant and Ellipsis will return an instance of Constant . (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-32892 )。

  • expanduser() on Windows now prefers the USERPROFILE environment variable and does not use HOME , which is not normally set for regular user accounts. (Contributed by Anthony Sottile in bpo-36264 )。

  • The exception asyncio.CancelledError now inherits from BaseException 而不是 Exception and no longer inherits from concurrent.futures.CancelledError . (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-32528 )。

  • 函数 asyncio.wait_for() now correctly waits for cancellation when using an instance of asyncio.Task . Previously, upon reaching timeout , it was cancelled and immediately returned. (Contributed by Elvis Pranskevichus in bpo-32751 )。

  • 函数 asyncio.BaseTransport.get_extra_info() now returns a safe to use socket object when ‘socket’ is passed to the name parameter. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-37027 )。

  • asyncio.BufferedProtocol has graduated to the stable API.

  • DLL dependencies for extension modules and DLLs loaded with ctypes on Windows are now resolved more securely. Only the system paths, the directory containing the DLL or PYD file, and directories added with add_dll_directory() are searched for load-time dependencies. Specifically, PATH and the current working directory are no longer used, and modifications to these will no longer have any effect on normal DLL resolution. If your application relies on these mechanisms, you should check for add_dll_directory() and if it exists, use it to add your DLLs directory while loading your library. Note that Windows 7 users will need to ensure that Windows Update KB2533623 has been installed (this is also verified by the installer). (Contributed by Steve Dower in bpo-36085 )。

  • The header files and functions related to pgen have been removed after its replacement by a pure Python implementation. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in bpo-36623 )。

  • types.CodeType has a new parameter in the second position of the constructor ( posonlyargcount ) to support positional-only arguments defined in PEP 570 . The first argument ( argcount ) now represents the total number of positional arguments (including positional-only arguments). The new replace() 方法为 types.CodeType can be used to make the code future-proof.

  • 参数 digestmod for hmac.new() no longer uses the MD5 digest by default.

C API 变化

  • PyCompilerFlags structure got a new cf_feature_version field. It should be initialized to PY_MINOR_VERSION . The field is ignored by default, and is used if and only if PyCF_ONLY_AST flag is set in cf_flags . (Contributed by Guido van Rossum in bpo-35766 )。

  • PyEval_ReInitThreads() function has been removed from the C API. It should not be called explicitly: use PyOS_AfterFork_Child() instead. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-36728 )。

  • On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython except on Android and Cygwin. When Python is embedded, libpython must not be loaded with RTLD_LOCAL ，但 RTLD_GLOBAL instead. Previously, using RTLD_LOCAL , it was already not possible to load C extensions which were not linked to libpython , like C extensions of the standard library built by the *shared* section of Modules/Setup . (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-21536 )。

  • 使用 # variants of formats in parsing or building value (e.g. PyArg_ParseTuple() , Py_BuildValue() , PyObject_CallFunction() , etc.) without PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN defined raises DeprecationWarning now. It will be removed in 3.10 or 4.0. Read 解析自变量和构建值 for detail. (Contributed by Inada Naoki in bpo-36381 )。

  • Instances of heap-allocated types (such as those created with PyType_FromSpec() ) hold a reference to their type object. Increasing the reference count of these type objects has been moved from PyType_GenericAlloc() to the more low-level functions, PyObject_Init() and PyObject_INIT() . This makes types created through PyType_FromSpec() behave like other classes in managed code.

    Statically allocated types are not affected.

    For the vast majority of cases, there should be no side effect. However, types that manually increase the reference count after allocating an instance (perhaps to work around the bug) may now become immortal. To avoid this, these classes need to call Py_DECREF on the type object during instance deallocation.

    To correctly port these types into 3.8, please apply the following changes:

    • 移除 Py_INCREF on the type object after allocating an instance - if any. This may happen after calling PyObject_New() , PyObject_NewVar() , PyObject_GC_New() , PyObject_GC_NewVar() , or any other custom allocator that uses PyObject_Init() or PyObject_INIT() .

      范例： 

      static foo_struct *
foo_new(PyObject *type) {
    foo_struct *foo = PyObject_GC_New(foo_struct, (PyTypeObject *) type);
    if (foo == NULL)
        return NULL;
#if PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x03080000
    // Workaround for Python issue 35810; no longer necessary in Python 3.8
    PY_INCREF(type)
#endif
    return foo;
}

    • Ensure that all custom tp_dealloc functions of heap-allocated types decrease the type’s reference count.

      范例： 

      static void
foo_dealloc(foo_struct *instance) {
    PyObject *type = Py_TYPE(instance);
    PyObject_GC_Del(instance);
#if PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x03080000
    // This was not needed before Python 3.8 (Python issue 35810)
    Py_DECREF(type);
#endif
}

  • Py_DEPRECATED() macro has been implemented for MSVC. The macro now must be placed before the symbol name.

    范例： 

    Py_DEPRECATED(3.8) PyAPI_FUNC(int) Py_OldFunction(void);

    (Contributed by Zackery Spytz in bpo-33407 )。

  • The interpreter does not pretend to support binary compatibility of extension types across feature releases, anymore. A PyTypeObject exported by a third-party extension module is supposed to have all the slots expected in the current Python version, including tp_finalize ( Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_FINALIZE is not checked anymore before reading tp_finalize ).

    (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-32388 )。

  • 函数 PyNode_AddChild() and PyParser_AddToken() now accept two additional int arguments end_lineno and end_col_offset .

  • libpython38.a file to allow MinGW tools to link directly against python38.dll is no longer included in the regular Windows distribution. If you require this file, it may be generated with the gendef and dlltool tools, which are part of the MinGW binutils package: 

    gendef - python38.dll > tmp.def
dlltool --dllname python38.dll --def tmp.def --output-lib libpython38.a

    The location of an installed pythonXY.dll will depend on the installation options and the version and language of Windows. See 在 Windows 使用 Python for more information. The resulting library should be placed in the same directory as pythonXY.lib , which is generally the libs directory under your Python installation.

CPython 字节码变化

  • The interpreter loop has been simplified by moving the logic of unrolling the stack of blocks into the compiler. The compiler emits now explicit instructions for adjusting the stack of values and calling the cleaning-up code for break , continue and return .

    Removed opcodes BREAK_LOOP , CONTINUE_LOOP , SETUP_LOOP and SETUP_EXCEPT . Added new opcodes ROT_FOUR , BEGIN_FINALLY , CALL_FINALLY and POP_FINALLY . Changed the behavior of END_FINALLY and WITH_CLEANUP_START .

    (Contributed by Mark Shannon, Antoine Pitrou and Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-17611 )。

  • Added new opcode END_ASYNC_FOR for handling exceptions raised when awaiting a next item in an async for loop. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-33041 )。

  • MAP_ADD now expects the value as the first element in the stack and the key as the second element. This change was made so the key is always evaluated before the value in dictionary comprehensions, as proposed by PEP 572 . (Contributed by Jörn Heissler in bpo-35224 )。

Python 3.8.1 值得注意的变化

Due to significant security concerns, the reuse_address 参数对于 asyncio.loop.create_datagram_endpoint() is no longer supported. This is because of the behavior of the socket option SO_REUSEADDR in UDP. For more details, see the documentation for loop.create_datagram_endpoint() . (Contributed by Kyle Stanley, Antoine Pitrou, and Yury Selivanov in bpo-37228 )。

Python 3.8.8 值得注意的变化

Earlier Python versions allowed using both ; and & as query parameter separators in urllib.parse.parse_qs() and urllib.parse.parse_qsl() . Due to security concerns, and to conform with newer W3C recommendations, this has been changed to allow only a single separator key, with & as the default. This change also affects cgi.parse() and cgi.parse_multipart() as they use the affected functions internally. For more details, please see their respective documentation. (Contributed by Adam Goldschmidt, Senthil Kumaran and Ken Jin in bpo-42967 )。

Python 3.8.12 值得注意的变化

Starting with Python 3.8.12 the ipaddress module no longer accepts any leading zeros in IPv4 address strings. Leading zeros are ambiguous and interpreted as octal notation by some libraries. For example the legacy function socket.inet_aton() treats leading zeros as octal notation. glibc implementation of modern inet_pton() does not accept any leading zeros.
