This release features notable performance improvements in many areas. The 优化 section lists them in detail.
For a list of changes that may affect compatibility with previous Python releases please refer to the 移植到 Python 3.7 章节。
The advent of type hints in Python uncovered two glaring usability issues with the functionality of annotations added in PEP 3107 and refined further in PEP 526 :
annotations could only use names which were already available in the current scope, in other words they didn’t support forward references of any kind; and
annotating source code had adverse effects on startup time of Python programs.
Both of these issues are fixed by postponing the evaluation of annotations. Instead of compiling code which executes expressions in annotations at their definition time, the compiler stores the annotation in a string form equivalent to the AST of the expression in question. If needed, annotations can be resolved at runtime using typing.get_type_hints() . In the common case where this is not required, the annotations are cheaper to store (since short strings are interned by the interpreter) and make startup time faster.
typing.get_type_hints()
Usability-wise, annotations now support forward references, making the following syntax valid:
class C: @classmethod def from_string(cls, source: str) -> C: ... def validate_b(self, obj: B) -> bool: ... class B: ...
Since this change breaks compatibility, the new behavior needs to be enabled on a per-module basis in Python 3.7 using a __future__ import:
__future__
from __future__ import annotations
It will become the default in Python 3.10.

PEP written and implemented by Łukasz Langa.
An ongoing challenge within the Python 3 series has been determining a sensible default strategy for handling the “7-bit ASCII” text encoding assumption currently implied by the use of the default C or POSIX locale on non-Windows platforms.
PEP 538 updates the default interpreter command line interface to automatically coerce that locale to an available UTF-8 based locale as described in the documentation of the new PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE environment variable. Automatically setting LC_CTYPE this way means that both the core interpreter and locale-aware C extensions (such as readline ) will assume the use of UTF-8 as the default text encoding, rather than ASCII.
PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE
LC_CTYPE
readline
The platform support definition in PEP 11 has also been updated to limit full text handling support to suitably configured non-ASCII based locales.
As part of this change, the default error handler for stdin and stdout 现为 surrogateescape (rather than strict ) when using any of the defined coercion target locales (currently C.UTF-8 , C.utf8 ，和 UTF-8 ). The default error handler for stderr continues to be backslashreplace , regardless of locale.
stdin
stdout
surrogateescape
strict
C.UTF-8
C.utf8
UTF-8
stderr
backslashreplace
Locale coercion is silent by default, but to assist in debugging potentially locale related integration problems, explicit warnings (emitted directly on stderr ) can be requested by setting PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=warn . This setting will also cause the Python runtime to emit a warning if the legacy C locale remains active when the core interpreter is initialized.
PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=warn
While PEP 538 ’s locale coercion has the benefit of also affecting extension modules (such as GNU readline ), as well as child processes (including those running non-Python applications and older versions of Python), it has the downside of requiring that a suitable target locale be present on the running system. To better handle the case where no suitable target locale is available (as occurs on RHEL/CentOS 7, for example), Python 3.7 also implements PEP 540: Forced UTF-8 Runtime Mode .
PEP written and implemented by Nick Coghlan.
新的 -X utf8 命令行选项和 PYTHONUTF8 environment variable can be used to enable the Python UTF-8 模式 .
-X
utf8
PYTHONUTF8
When in UTF-8 mode, CPython ignores the locale settings, and uses the UTF-8 encoding by default. The error handlers for sys.stdin and sys.stdout streams are set to surrogateescape .
sys.stdin
sys.stdout
The forced UTF-8 mode can be used to change the text handling behavior in an embedded Python interpreter without changing the locale settings of an embedding application.
While PEP 540 ’s UTF-8 mode has the benefit of working regardless of which locales are available on the running system, it has the downside of having no effect on extension modules (such as GNU readline ), child processes running non-Python applications, and child processes running older versions of Python. To reduce the risk of corrupting text data when communicating with such components, Python 3.7 also implements PEP 540: Forced UTF-8 Runtime Mode ).
The UTF-8 mode is enabled by default when the locale is C or POSIX ，和 PEP 538 locale coercion feature fails to change it to a UTF-8 based alternative (whether that failure is due to PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=0 being set, LC_ALL being set, or the lack of a suitable target locale).

Python 3.7 includes the new built-in breakpoint() function as an easy and consistent way to enter the Python debugger.
内置 breakpoint() 调用 sys.breakpointhook() . By default, the latter imports pdb and then calls pdb.set_trace() , but by binding sys.breakpointhook() to the function of your choosing, breakpoint() can enter any debugger. Additionally, the environment variable PYTHONBREAKPOINT can be set to the callable of your debugger of choice. Set PYTHONBREAKPOINT=0 to completely disable built-in breakpoint() .
sys.breakpointhook()
pdb
pdb.set_trace()
PYTHONBREAKPOINT
PYTHONBREAKPOINT=0

While Python provides a C API for thread-local storage support; the existing TLS (线程本地存储) API has used int to represent TLS keys across all platforms. This has not generally been a problem for officially support platforms, but that is neither POSIX-compliant, nor portable in any practical sense.
PEP 539 changes this by providing a new TSS (线程特定存储) API to CPython which supersedes use of the existing TLS API within the CPython interpreter, while deprecating the existing API. The TSS API uses a new type Py_tss_t 而不是 int to represent TSS keys–an opaque type the definition of which may depend on the underlying TLS implementation. Therefore, this will allow to build CPython on platforms where the native TLS key is defined in a way that cannot be safely cast to int .
Py_tss_t
Note that on platforms where the native TLS key is defined in a way that cannot be safely cast to int , all functions of the existing TLS API will be no-op and immediately return failure. This indicates clearly that the old API is not supported on platforms where it cannot be used reliably, and that no effort will be made to add such support.

Python 3.7 允许定义 __getattr__() on modules and will call it whenever a module attribute is otherwise not found. Defining __dir__() on modules is now also allowed.
__getattr__()
__dir__()
A typical example of where this may be useful is module attribute deprecation and lazy loading.

The resolution of clocks in modern systems can exceed the limited precision of a floating point number returned by the time.time() function and its variants. To avoid loss of precision, PEP 564 adds six new “nanosecond” variants of the existing timer functions to the time 模块：
time.time()
time.clock_gettime_ns()
time.clock_settime_ns()
time.monotonic_ns()
time.perf_counter_ns()
time.process_time_ns()
time.time_ns()
The new functions return the number of nanoseconds as an integer value.
Measurements show that on Linux and Windows the resolution of time.time_ns() is approximately 3 times better than that of time.time() .
The default handling of DeprecationWarning has been changed such that these warnings are once more shown by default, but only when the code triggering them is running directly in the __main__ module. As a result, developers of single file scripts and those using Python interactively should once again start seeing deprecation warnings for the APIs they use, but deprecation warnings triggered by imported application, library and framework modules will continue to be hidden by default.
As a result of this change, the standard library now allows developers to choose between three different deprecation warning behaviours:
FutureWarning : always displayed by default, recommended for warnings intended to be seen by application end users (e.g. for deprecated application configuration settings).
FutureWarning
DeprecationWarning : displayed by default only in __main__ and when running tests, recommended for warnings intended to be seen by other Python developers where a version upgrade may result in changed behaviour or an error.
PendingDeprecationWarning : displayed by default only when running tests, intended for cases where a future version upgrade will change the warning category to DeprecationWarning or FutureWarning .
PendingDeprecationWarning
Previously both DeprecationWarning and PendingDeprecationWarning were only visible when running tests, which meant that developers primarily writing single file scripts or using Python interactively could be surprised by breaking changes in the APIs they used.
PEP written and implemented by Nick Coghlan
Initially PEP 484 was designed in such way that it would not introduce any changes to the core CPython interpreter. Now type hints and the typing module are extensively used by the community, so this restriction is removed. The PEP introduces two special methods __class_getitem__() and __mro_entries__ , these methods are now used by most classes and special constructs in typing . As a result, the speed of various operations with types increased up to 7 times, the generic types can be used without metaclass conflicts, and several long standing bugs in typing module are fixed.
__class_getitem__()
__mro_entries__
Python has traditionally checked the up-to-dateness of bytecode cache files (i.e., .pyc files) by comparing the source metadata (last-modified timestamp and size) with source metadata saved in the cache file header when it was generated. While effective, this invalidation method has its drawbacks. When filesystem timestamps are too coarse, Python can miss source updates, leading to user confusion. Additionally, having a timestamp in the cache file is problematic for build reproducibility and content-based build systems.
.pyc
PEP 552 extends the pyc format to allow the hash of the source file to be used for invalidation instead of the source timestamp. Such .pyc files are called “hash-based”. By default, Python still uses timestamp-based invalidation and does not generate hash-based .pyc files at runtime. Hash-based .pyc files may be generated with py_compile or compileall .
py_compile
compileall
Hash-based .pyc files come in two variants: checked and unchecked. Python validates checked hash-based .pyc files against the corresponding source files at runtime but doesn’t do so for unchecked hash-based pycs. Unchecked hash-based .pyc files are a useful performance optimization for environments where a system external to Python (e.g., the build system) is responsible for keeping .pyc files up-to-date.

新的 importlib.resources module provides several new APIs and one new ABC for access to, opening, and reading resources inside packages. Resources are roughly similar to files inside packages, but they needn’t be actual files on the physical file system.

Built-in file path loaders and zip file loaders both support this.

Yield expressions (both yield and yield from clauses) are now deprecated in comprehensions and generator expressions (aside from the iterable expression in the leftmost for clause). This ensures that comprehensions always immediately return a container of the appropriate type (rather than potentially returning a 生成器迭代器 object), while generator expressions won’t attempt to interleave their implicit output with the output from any explicit yield expressions.

OpenSSL 0.9.8 and 1.0.1 are no longer supported, which means building CPython 3.7 with SSL/TLS support on older platforms still using these versions requires custom build options that link to a more recent version of OpenSSL.
Notably, this issue affects the Debian 8 (aka “jessie”) and Ubuntu 14.04 (aka “Trusty”) LTS Linux distributions, as they still use OpenSSL 1.0.1 by default.
Debian 9 (“stretch”) and Ubuntu 16.04 (“xenial”), as well as recent releases of other LTS Linux releases (e.g. RHEL/CentOS 7.5, SLES 12-SP3), use OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later, and remain supported in the default build configuration.
CPython’s own CI configuration file provides an example of using the SSL compatibility testing infrastructure in CPython’s test suite to build and link against OpenSSL 1.1.0 rather than an outdated system provided OpenSSL.

当使用 -m switch, the initial working directory is now added to sys.path , rather than an empty string (which dynamically denoted the current working directory at the time of each import). Any programs that are checking for the empty string, or otherwise relying on the previous behaviour, will need to be updated accordingly (e.g. by also checking for os.getcwd() or os.path.dirname(__main__.__file__) , depending on why the code was checking for the empty string in the first place).

Support for nested sets and set operations in regular expressions as in Unicode Technical Standard #18 might be added in the future. This would change the syntax. To facilitate this future change a FutureWarning will be raised in ambiguous cases for the time being.

The result of splitting a string on a regular expression that could match an empty string has been changed. For example splitting on r'\s*' will now split not only on whitespaces as it did previously, but also on empty strings before all non-whitespace characters and just before the end of the string. The previous behavior can be restored by changing the pattern to r'\s+' 。 FutureWarning was emitted for such patterns since Python 3.5.

For patterns that match both empty and non-empty strings, the result of searching for all matches may also be changed in other cases. For example in the string 'a\n\n' , the pattern r'(?m)^\s*?$' will not only match empty strings at positions 2 and 3, but also the string '\n' at positions 2–3. To match only blank lines, the pattern should be rewritten as r'(?m)^[^\S\n]*$' .

re.sub() now replaces empty matches adjacent to a previous non-empty match. For example re.sub('x*', '-', 'abxd') returns now '-a-b--d-' 而不是 '-a-b-d-' (the first minus between ‘b’ and ‘d’ replaces ‘x’, and the second minus replaces an empty string between ‘x’ and ‘d’).

函数 PySlice_GetIndicesEx() is considered unsafe for resizable sequences. If the slice indices are not instances of int , but objects that implement the __index__() method, the sequence can be resized after passing its length to PySlice_GetIndicesEx() .

In preparation for potential future changes to the public CPython runtime initialization API (see PEP 432 for an initial, but somewhat outdated, draft), CPython’s internal startup and configuration management logic has been significantly refactored. While these updates are intended to be entirely transparent to both embedding applications and users of the regular CPython CLI, they’re being mentioned here as the refactoring changes the internal order of various operations during interpreter startup, and hence may uncover previously latent defects, either in embedding applications, or in CPython itself. (Initially contributed by Nick Coghlan and Eric Snow as part of bpo-22257 , and further updated by Nick, Eric, and Victor Stinner in a number of other issues). Some known details affected:
PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode() is not currently usable by embedding applications due to the requirement to create a Unicode object prior to calling Py_Initialize 。使用 PySys_AddWarnOption() 代替。
PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
Py_Initialize
PySys_AddWarnOption()
warnings filters added by an embedding application with PySys_AddWarnOption() should now more consistently take precedence over the default filters set by the interpreter
Due to changes in the way the default warnings filters are configured, setting Py_BytesWarningFlag to a value greater than one is no longer sufficient to both emit BytesWarning messages and have them converted to exceptions. Instead, the flag must be set (to cause the warnings to be emitted in the first place), and an explicit error::BytesWarning warnings filter added to convert them to exceptions.
Py_BytesWarningFlag
error::BytesWarning
Due to a change in the way docstrings are handled by the compiler, the implicit return None in a function body consisting solely of a docstring is now marked as occurring on the same line as the docstring, not on the function’s header line.

The current exception state has been moved from the frame object to the co-routine. This simplified the interpreter and fixed a couple of obscure bugs caused by having swap exception state when entering or exiting a generator. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in bpo-25612 )。
Starting in 3.7.1, Py_Initialize() now consistently reads and respects all of the same environment settings as Py_Main() (in earlier Python versions, it respected an ill-defined subset of those environment variables, while in Python 3.7.0 it didn’t read any of them due to bpo-34247 ).

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 )。

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.

A security fix alters the ftplib.FTP behavior to not trust the IPv4 address sent from the remote server when setting up a passive data channel. We reuse the ftp server IP address instead. For unusual code requiring the old behavior, set a trust_server_pasv_ipv4_address attribute on your FTP instance to True 。(见 gh-87451 )

The presence of newline or tab characters in parts of a URL allows for some forms of attacks. Following the WHATWG specification that updates RFC 3986, ASCII newline \n , \r and tab \t characters are stripped from the URL by the parser urllib.parse() preventing such attacks. The removal characters are controlled by a new module level variable urllib.parse._UNSAFE_URL_BYTES_TO_REMOVE 。(见 gh-88048 )

Converting between int and str in bases other than 2 (binary), 4, 8 (octal), 16 (hexadecimal), or 32 such as base 10 (decimal) now raises a ValueError if the number of digits in string form is above a limit to avoid potential denial of service attacks due to the algorithmic complexity. This is a mitigation for CVE-2020-10735 . This limit can be configured or disabled by environment variable, command line flag, or sys API。见 整数字符串转换长度局限性 documentation. The default limit is 4300 digits in string form.
