新特征 ¶

PEP 453: Explicit Bootstrapping of PIP in Python Installations ¶

Bootstrapping pip By Default ¶

新的 ensurepip module (defined in PEP 453 ) provides a standard cross-platform mechanism to bootstrap the pip installer into Python installations and virtual environments. The version of pip included with Python 3.4.0 is pip 1.5.4, and future 3.4.x maintenance releases will update the bundled version to the latest version of pip that is available at the time of creating the release candidate.

By default, the commands pipX and pipX.Y will be installed on all platforms (where X.Y stands for the version of the Python installation), along with the pip Python package and its dependencies. On Windows and in virtual environments on all platforms, the unversioned pip command will also be installed. On other platforms, the system wide unversioned pip command typically refers to the separately installed Python 2 version.

The pyvenv command line utility and the venv module make use of the ensurepip module to make pip readily available in virtual environments. When using the command line utility, pip is installed by default, while when using the venv 模块 API installation of pip must be requested explicitly.

For CPython source builds on POSIX systems ， make install and make altinstall commands bootstrap pip by default. This behaviour can be controlled through configure options, and overridden through Makefile options.

On Windows and Mac OS X, the CPython installers now default to installing pip along with CPython itself (users may opt out of installing it during the installation process). Window users will need to opt in to the automatic PATH modifications to have pip available from the command line by default, otherwise it can still be accessed through the Python launcher for Windows as py -m pip .

As discussed in the PEP , platform packagers may choose not to install these commands by default, as long as, when invoked, they provide clear and simple directions on how to install them on that platform (usually using the system package manager).

注意

To avoid conflicts between parallel Python 2 and Python 3 installations, only the versioned pip3 and pip3.4 commands are bootstrapped by default when ensurepip is invoked directly - the --default-pip option is needed to also request the unversioned pip 命令。 pyvenv and the Windows installer ensure that the unqualified pip command is made available in those environments, and pip can always be invoked via the -m switch rather than directly to avoid ambiguity on systems with multiple Python installations.

文档编制变化 ¶

As part of this change, the 安装 Python 模块 and 分发 Python 模块 sections of the documentation have been completely redesigned as short getting started and FAQ documents. Most packaging documentation has now been moved out to the Python Packaging Authority maintained Python 打包用户指南 and the documentation of the individual projects.

However, as this migration is currently still incomplete, the legacy versions of those guides remaining available as 安装 Python 模块 (旧版) and 分发 Python 模块 (旧版) .

PEP 446: Newly Created File Descriptors Are Non-Inheritable ¶

PEP 446 makes newly created file descriptors 不可继承 . In general, this is the behavior an application will want: when launching a new process, having currently open files also open in the new process can lead to all sorts of hard to find bugs, and potentially to security issues.

However, there are occasions when inheritance is desired. To support these cases, the following new functions and methods are available:

• os.get_inheritable() , os.set_inheritable()
• os.get_handle_inheritable() , os.set_handle_inheritable()
• socket.socket.get_inheritable() , socket.socket.set_inheritable()

Improvements to Codec Handling ¶

Since it was first introduced, the codecs module has always been intended to operate as a type-neutral dynamic encoding and decoding system. However, its close coupling with the Python text model, especially the type restricted convenience methods on the builtin str , bytes and bytearray types, has historically obscured that fact.

As a key step in clarifying the situation, the codecs.encode() and codecs.decode() convenience functions are now properly documented in Python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4. These functions have existed in the codecs module (and have been covered by the regression test suite) since Python 2.4, but were previously only discoverable through runtime introspection.

Unlike the convenience methods on str , bytes and bytearray ， codecs convenience functions support arbitrary codecs in both Python 2 and Python 3, rather than being limited to Unicode text encodings (in Python 3) or basestring <-> basestring conversions (in Python 2).

In Python 3.4, the interpreter is able to identify the known non-text encodings provided in the standard library and direct users towards these general purpose convenience functions when appropriate:

>>> b"abcdef".decode("hex")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
LookupError: 'hex' is not a text encoding; use codecs.decode() to handle arbitrary codecs
>>> "hello".encode("rot13")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
LookupError: 'rot13' is not a text encoding; use codecs.encode() to handle arbitrary codecs
>>> open("foo.txt", encoding="hex")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
LookupError: 'hex' is not a text encoding; use codecs.open() to handle arbitrary codecs
					

In a related change, whenever it is feasible without breaking backwards compatibility, exceptions raised during encoding and decoding operations are wrapped in a chained exception of the same type that mentions the name of the codec responsible for producing the error:

>>> import codecs
>>> codecs.decode(b"abcdefgh", "hex")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/encodings/hex_codec.py", line 20, in hex_decode
    return (binascii.a2b_hex(input), len(input))
binascii.Error: Non-hexadecimal digit found
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
binascii.Error: decoding with 'hex' codec failed (Error: Non-hexadecimal digit found)
>>> codecs.encode("hello", "bz2")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/encodings/bz2_codec.py", line 17, in bz2_encode
    return (bz2.compress(input), len(input))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/bz2.py", line 498, in compress
    return comp.compress(data) + comp.flush()
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: encoding with 'bz2' codec failed (TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface)
					

Finally, as the examples above show, these improvements have permitted the restoration of the convenience aliases for the non-Unicode codecs that were themselves restored in Python 3.2. This means that encoding binary data to and from its hexadecimal representation (for example) can now be written as:

>>> from codecs import encode, decode
>>> encode(b"hello", "hex")
b'68656c6c6f'
>>> decode(b"68656c6c6f", "hex")
b'hello'
					

The binary and text transforms provided in the standard library are detailed in 二进制变换 and 文本变换 .

PEP 451: A ModuleSpec Type for the Import System ¶

PEP 451 provides an encapsulation of the information about a module that the import machinery will use to load it (that is, a module specification). This helps simplify both the import implementation and several import-related APIs. The change is also a stepping stone for several future import-related improvements .

The public-facing changes from the PEP are entirely backward-compatible. Furthermore, they should be transparent to everyone but importer authors. Key finder and loader methods have been deprecated, but they will continue working. New importers should use the new methods described in the PEP. Existing importers should be updated to implement the new methods. See the 弃用 section for a list of methods that should be replaced and their replacements.

其它语言变化 ¶

Some smaller changes made to the core Python language are:

• Unicode database updated to UCD version 6.3.
• min() and max() now accept a default keyword-only argument that can be used to specify the value they return if the iterable they are evaluating has no elements. (Contributed by Julian Berman in bpo-18111 )。
• Module objects are now weakref ‘able.
• 模块 __file__ attributes (and related values) should now always contain absolute paths by default, with the sole exception of __main__.__file__ when a script has been executed directly using a relative path. (Contributed by Brett Cannon in bpo-18416 )。
• All the UTF-* codecs (except UTF-7) now reject surrogates during both encoding and decoding unless the surrogatepass error handler is used, with the exception of the UTF-16 decoder (which accepts valid surrogate pairs) and the UTF-16 encoder (which produces them while encoding non-BMP characters). (Contributed by Victor Stinner, Kang-Hao (Kenny) Lu and Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-12892 )。
• New German EBCDIC codec cp273 . (Contributed by Michael Bierenfeld and Andrew Kuchling in bpo-1097797 )。
• New Ukrainian codec cp1125 . (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-19668 )。
• bytes .join() and bytearray .join() now accept arbitrary buffer objects as arguments. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-15958 )。
• The int constructor now accepts any object that has an __index__ method for its base argument. (Contributed by Mark Dickinson in bpo-16772 )。
• Frame objects now have a clear() method that clears all references to local variables from the frame. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-17934 )。
• memoryview is now registered as a Sequence , and supports the reversed() builtin. (Contributed by Nick Coghlan and Claudiu Popa in bpo-18690 and bpo-19078 )。
• Signatures reported by help() have been modified and improved in several cases as a result of the introduction of Argument Clinic and other changes to the inspect and pydoc 模块。
• __length_hint__() is now part of the formal language specification (see PEP 424 ). (Contributed by Armin Ronacher in bpo-16148 )。

新模块 ¶

asyncio ¶

新的 asyncio module (defined in PEP 3156 ) provides a standard pluggable event loop model for Python, providing solid asynchronous IO support in the standard library, and making it easier for other event loop implementations to interoperate with the standard library and each other.

For Python 3.4, this module is considered a provisional API .

PEP written and implementation led by Guido van Rossum.

ensurepip ¶

新的 ensurepip module is the primary infrastructure for the PEP 453 implementation. In the normal course of events end users will not need to interact with this module, but it can be used to manually bootstrap pip if the automated bootstrapping into an installation or virtual environment was declined.

ensurepip includes a bundled copy of pip , up-to-date as of the first release candidate of the release of CPython with which it ships (this applies to both maintenance releases and feature releases). ensurepip does not access the internet. If the installation has Internet access, after ensurepip is run the bundled pip can be used to upgrade pip to a more recent release than the bundled one. (Note that such an upgraded version of pip is considered to be a separately installed package and will not be removed if Python is uninstalled.)

The module is named ensure pip because if called when pip is already installed, it does nothing. It also has an --upgrade option that will cause it to install the bundled copy of pip if the existing installed version of pip is older than the bundled copy.

enum ¶

新的 enum module (defined in PEP 435 ) provides a standard implementation of enumeration types, allowing other modules (such as socket ) to provide more informative error messages and better debugging support by replacing opaque integer constants with backwards compatible enumeration values.

PEP 435 – Adding an Enum type to the Python standard library

PEP written by Barry Warsaw, Eli Bendersky and Ethan Furman, implemented by Ethan Furman.

pathlib ¶

新的 pathlib module offers classes representing filesystem paths with semantics appropriate for different operating systems. Path classes are divided between 纯路径 ，提供没有 I/O 的纯计算操作，和 具体路径 ，继承自纯路径但还提供 I/O 操作。

For Python 3.4, this module is considered a provisional API .

selectors ¶

新的 selectors module (created as part of implementing PEP 3156 ) allows high-level and efficient I/O multiplexing, built upon the select module primitives.

statistics ¶

新的 statistics module (defined in PEP 450 ) offers some core statistics functionality directly in the standard library. This module supports calculation of the mean, median, mode, variance and standard deviation of a data series.

tracemalloc ¶

新的 tracemalloc module (defined in PEP 454 ) is a debug tool to trace memory blocks allocated by Python. It provides the following information:

• Trace where an object was allocated
• Statistics on allocated memory blocks per filename and per line number: total size, number and average size of allocated memory blocks
• 计算 2 快照间差异以检测内存泄漏

改进模块 ¶

abc ¶

New function abc.get_cache_token() can be used to know when to invalidate caches that are affected by changes in the object graph. (Contributed by Łukasz Langa in bpo-16832 )。

New class ABC has ABCMeta as its meta class. Using ABC as a base class has essentially the same effect as specifying metaclass=abc.ABCMeta , but is simpler to type and easier to read. (Contributed by Bruno Dupuis in bpo-16049 )。

aifc ¶

The getparams() method now returns a namedtuple rather than a plain tuple. (Contributed by Claudiu Popa in bpo-17818 )。

aifc.open() now supports the context management protocol: when used in a with block, the close() method of the returned object will be called automatically at the end of the block. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchacha in bpo-16486 )。

The writeframesraw() and writeframes() methods now accept any 像字节对象 . (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-8311 )。

argparse ¶

The FileType class now accepts encoding and errors arguments, which are passed through to open() . (Contributed by Lucas Maystre in bpo-11175 )。

audioop ¶

audioop now supports 24-bit samples. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-12866 )。

New byteswap() function converts big-endian samples to little-endian and vice versa. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-19641 )。

所有 audioop functions now accept any 像字节对象 . Strings are not accepted: they didn’t work before, now they raise an error right away. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-16685 )。

base64 ¶

The encoding and decoding functions in base64 now accept any 像字节对象 in cases where it previously required a bytes or bytearray instance. (Contributed by Nick Coghlan in bpo-17839 )。

New functions a85encode() , a85decode() , b85encode() ，和 b85decode() provide the ability to encode and decode binary data from and to Ascii85 and the git/mercurial Base85 formats, respectively. The a85 functions have options that can be used to make them compatible with the variants of the Ascii85 encoding, including the Adobe variant. (Contributed by Martin Morrison, the Mercurial project, Serhiy Storchaka, and Antoine Pitrou in bpo-17618 )。

collections ¶

The ChainMap.new_child() method now accepts an m argument specifying the child map to add to the chain. This allows an existing mapping and/or a custom mapping type to be used for the child. (Contributed by Vinay Sajip in bpo-16613 )。

colorsys ¶

The number of digits in the coefficients for the RGB — YIQ conversions have been expanded so that they match the FCC NTSC versions. The change in results should be less than 1% and may better match results found elsewhere. (Contributed by Brian Landers and Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-14323 )。

contextlib ¶

新的 contextlib.suppress context manager helps to clarify the intent of code that deliberately suppresses exceptions from a single statement. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-15806 and Zero Piraeus in bpo-19266 )。

新的 contextlib.redirect_stdout() context manager makes it easier for utility scripts to handle inflexible APIs that write their output to sys.stdout and don’t provide any options to redirect it. Using the context manager, the sys.stdout output can be redirected to any other stream or, in conjunction with io.StringIO , to a string. The latter can be especially useful, for example, to capture output from a function that was written to implement a command line interface. It is recommended only for utility scripts because it affects the global state of sys.stdout . (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-15805 )。

The contextlib documentation has also been updated to include a discussion of the differences between single use, reusable and reentrant context managers.

dbm ¶

dbm.open() objects now support the context management protocol. When used in a with statement, the close method of the database object will be called automatically at the end of the block. (Contributed by Claudiu Popa and Nick Coghlan in bpo-19282 )。

dis ¶

函数 show_code() , dis() , distb() ，和 disassemble() now accept a keyword-only file argument that controls where they write their output.

The dis module is now built around an Instruction class that provides object oriented access to the details of each individual bytecode operation.

A new method, get_instructions() , provides an iterator that emits the Instruction stream for a given piece of Python code. Thus it is now possible to write a program that inspects and manipulates a bytecode object in ways different from those provided by the dis module itself. For example:

>>> import dis
>>> for instr in dis.get_instructions(lambda x: x + 1):
...     print(instr.opname)
LOAD_FAST
LOAD_CONST
BINARY_ADD
RETURN_VALUE
					

The various display tools in the dis module have been rewritten to use these new components.

In addition, a new application-friendly class Bytecode provides an object-oriented API for inspecting bytecode in both in human-readable form and for iterating over instructions. The Bytecode constructor takes the same arguments that get_instruction() does (plus an optional current_offset ), and the resulting object can be iterated to produce Instruction objects. But it also has a dis method, equivalent to calling dis on the constructor argument, but returned as a multi-line string:

>>> bytecode = dis.Bytecode(lambda x: x + 1, current_offset=3)
>>> for instr in bytecode:
...     print('{} ({})'.format(instr.opname, instr.opcode))
LOAD_FAST (124)
LOAD_CONST (100)
BINARY_ADD (23)
RETURN_VALUE (83)
>>> bytecode.dis().splitlines()
['  1           0 LOAD_FAST                0 (x)',
 '      -->     3 LOAD_CONST               1 (1)',
 '              6 BINARY_ADD',
 '              7 RETURN_VALUE']
					

Bytecode also has a class method, from_traceback() , that provides the ability to manipulate a traceback (that is, print(Bytecode.from_traceback(tb).dis()) 相当于 distb(tb) ).

(Contributed by Nick Coghlan, Ryan Kelly and Thomas Kluyver in bpo-11816 and Claudiu Popa in bpo-17916 )。

New function stack_effect() computes the effect on the Python stack of a given opcode and argument, information that is not otherwise available. (Contributed by Larry Hastings in bpo-19722 )。

doctest ¶

新的 option flag , FAIL_FAST , halts test running as soon as the first failure is detected. (Contributed by R. David Murray and Daniel Urban in bpo-16522 )。

The doctest command line interface now uses argparse , and has two new options, -o and -f . -o allows doctest options to be specified on the command line, and -f is a shorthand for -o FAIL_FAST (to parallel the similar option supported by the unittest CLI). (Contributed by R. David Murray in bpo-11390 )。

doctest will now find doctests in extension module __doc__ strings. (Contributed by Zachary Ware in bpo-3158 )。

email ¶

as_string() 现在接受 policy argument to override the default policy of the message when generating a string representation of it. This means that as_string can now be used in more circumstances, instead of having to create and use a generator in order to pass formatting parameters to its flatten method. (Contributed by R. David Murray in bpo-18600 )。

New method as_bytes() added to produce a bytes representation of the message in a fashion similar to how as_string produces a string representation. It does not accept the maxheaderlen argument, but does accept the unixfrom and policy arguments. The Message __bytes__() method calls it, meaning that bytes(mymsg) will now produce the intuitive result: a bytes object containing the fully formatted message. (Contributed by R. David Murray in bpo-18600 )。

The Message.set_param() message now accepts a replace keyword argument. When specified, the associated header will be updated without changing its location in the list of headers. For backward compatibility, the default is False . (Contributed by R. David Murray in bpo-18891 )。

A pair of new subclasses of Message have been added ( EmailMessage and MIMEPart ), along with a new sub-module, contentmanager 和新的 policy 属性 content_manager . All documentation is currently in the new module, which is being added as part of email’s new provisional API . These classes provide a number of new methods that make extracting content from and inserting content into email messages much easier. For details, see the contentmanager documentation and the Examples using the Provisional API . These API additions complete the bulk of the work that was planned as part of the email6 project. The currently provisional API is scheduled to become final in Python 3.5 (possibly with a few minor additions in the area of error handling). (Contributed by R. David Murray in bpo-18891 )。

filecmp ¶

新的 clear_cache() function provides the ability to clear the filecmp comparison cache, which uses os.stat() information to determine if the file has changed since the last compare. This can be used, for example, if the file might have been changed and re-checked in less time than the resolution of a particular filesystem’s file modification time field. (Contributed by Mark Levitt in bpo-18149 )。

New module attribute DEFAULT_IGNORES provides the list of directories that are used as the default value for the ignore 参数为 dircmp() function. (Contributed by Eli Bendersky in bpo-15442 )。

functools ¶

新的 partialmethod() descriptor brings partial argument application to descriptors, just as partial() provides for normal callables. The new descriptor also makes it easier to get arbitrary callables (including partial() instances) to behave like normal instance methods when included in a class definition. (Contributed by Alon Horev and Nick Coghlan in bpo-4331 )。

新的 singledispatch() decorator brings support for single-dispatch generic functions to the Python standard library. Where object oriented programming focuses on grouping multiple operations on a common set of data into a class, a generic function focuses on grouping multiple implementations of an operation that allows it to work with different kinds of data.

total_ordering() now supports a return value of NotImplemented from the underlying comparison function. (Contributed by Katie Miller in bpo-10042 )。

A pure-python version of the partial() function is now in the stdlib; in CPython it is overridden by the C accelerated version, but it is available for other implementations to use. (Contributed by Brian Thorne in bpo-12428 )。

gc ¶

New function get_stats() returns a list of three per-generation dictionaries containing the collections statistics since interpreter startup. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-16351 )。

glob ¶

A new function escape() provides a way to escape special characters in a filename so that they do not become part of the globbing expansion but are instead matched literally. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-8402 )。

hashlib ¶

新的 hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac() function provides the PKCS#5 password-based key derivation function 2 . (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-18582 )。

The name attribute of hashlib hash objects is now a formally supported interface. It has always existed in CPython’s hashlib (although it did not return lower case names for all supported hashes), but it was not a public interface and so some other Python implementations have not previously supported it. (Contributed by Jason R. Coombs in bpo-18532 )。

hmac ¶

hmac now accepts bytearray 及 bytes 为 key 自变量到 new() function, and the msg parameter to both the new() 函数和 update() method now accepts any type supported by the hashlib module. (Contributed by Jonas Borgström in bpo-18240 )。

The digestmod 自变量到 hmac.new() function may now be any hash digest name recognized by hashlib . In addition, the current behavior in which the value of digestmod 默认为 MD5 is deprecated: in a future version of Python there will be no default value. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-17276 )。

With the addition of block_size and name attributes (and the formal documentation of the digest_size attribute), the hmac module now conforms fully to the PEP 247 API. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-18775 )。

html ¶

New function unescape() function converts HTML5 character references to the corresponding Unicode characters. (Contributed by Ezio Melotti in bpo-2927 )。

HTMLParser accepts a new keyword argument convert_charrefs that, when True , automatically converts all character references. For backward-compatibility, its value defaults to False , but it will change to True in a future version of Python, so you are invited to set it explicitly and update your code to use this new feature. (Contributed by Ezio Melotti in bpo-13633 )。

The strict 自变量 HTMLParser is now deprecated. (Contributed by Ezio Melotti in bpo-15114 )。

http ¶

send_error() now accepts an optional additional explain parameter which can be used to provide an extended error description, overriding the hardcoded default if there is one. This extended error description will be formatted using the error_message_format attribute and sent as the body of the error response. (Contributed by Karl Cow in bpo-12921 )。

The http.server command line interface now has a -b/--bind option that causes the server to listen on a specific address. (Contributed by Malte Swart in bpo-17764 )。

idlelib and IDLE ¶

Since idlelib implements the IDLE shell and editor and is not intended for import by other programs, it gets improvements with every release. See Lib/idlelib/NEWS.txt for a cumulative list of changes since 3.3.0, as well as changes made in future 3.4.x releases. This file is also available from the IDLE Help ‣ About IDLE 对话框。

importlib ¶

The InspectLoader ABC defines a new method, source_to_code() that accepts source data and a path and returns a code object. The default implementation is equivalent to compile(data, path, 'exec', dont_inherit=True) . (Contributed by Eric Snow and Brett Cannon in bpo-15627 )。

InspectLoader also now has a default implementation for the get_code() method. However, it will normally be desirable to override the default implementation for performance reasons. (Contributed by Brett Cannon in bpo-18072 )。

The reload() function has been moved from imp to importlib as part of the imp module deprecation. (Contributed by Berker Peksag in bpo-18193 )。

importlib.util now has a MAGIC_NUMBER attribute providing access to the bytecode version number. This replaces the get_magic() function in the deprecated imp module. (Contributed by Brett Cannon in bpo-18192 )。

New importlib.util 函数 cache_from_source() and source_from_cache() replace the same-named functions in the deprecated imp module. (Contributed by Brett Cannon in bpo-18194 )。

The importlib bootstrap NamespaceLoader now conforms to the InspectLoader ABC, which means that runpy and python -m can now be used with namespace packages. (Contributed by Brett Cannon in bpo-18058 )。

importlib.util has a new function decode_source() that decodes source from bytes using universal newline processing. This is useful for implementing InspectLoader.get_source() 方法。

importlib.machinery.ExtensionFileLoader now has a get_filename() method. This was inadvertently omitted in the original implementation. (Contributed by Eric Snow in bpo-19152 )。

inspect ¶

The inspect module now offers a basic command line interface to quickly display source code and other information for modules, classes and functions. (Contributed by Claudiu Popa and Nick Coghlan in bpo-18626 )。

unwrap() makes it easy to unravel wrapper function chains created by functools.wraps() (and any other API that sets the __wrapped__ attribute on a wrapper function). (Contributed by Daniel Urban, Aaron Iles and Nick Coghlan in bpo-13266 )。

As part of the implementation of the new enum module, the inspect module now has substantially better support for custom __dir__ methods and dynamic class attributes provided through metaclasses. (Contributed by Ethan Furman in bpo-18929 and bpo-19030 )。

getfullargspec() and getargspec() now use the signature() API. This allows them to support a much broader range of callables, including those with __signature__ attributes, those with metadata provided by argument clinic, functools.partial() objects and more. Note that, unlike signature() , these functions still ignore __wrapped__ attributes, and report the already bound first argument for bound methods, so it is still necessary to update your code to use signature() directly if those features are desired. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-17481 )。

signature() now supports duck types of CPython functions, which adds support for functions compiled with Cython. (Contributed by Stefan Behnel and Yury Selivanov in bpo-17159 )。

ipaddress ¶

ipaddress was added to the standard library in Python 3.3 as a provisional API . With the release of Python 3.4, this qualification has been removed: ipaddress is now considered a stable API, covered by the normal standard library requirements to maintain backwards compatibility.

新的 is_global 特性为 True if an address is globally routeable. (Contributed by Peter Moody in bpo-17400 )。

logging ¶

The TimedRotatingFileHandler 拥有新的 atTime parameter that can be used to specify the time of day when rollover should happen. (Contributed by Ronald Oussoren in bpo-9556 )。

SocketHandler and DatagramHandler now support Unix domain sockets (by setting port to None ). (Contributed by Vinay Sajip in commit ce46195b56a9.)

fileConfig() 现在接受 configparser.RawConfigParser subclass instance for the fname parameter. This facilitates using a configuration file when logging configuration is just a part of the overall application configuration, or where the application modifies the configuration before passing it to fileConfig() . (Contributed by Vinay Sajip in bpo-16110 )。

Logging configuration data received from a socket via the logging.config.listen() function can now be validated before being processed by supplying a verification function as the argument to the new verify keyword argument. (Contributed by Vinay Sajip in bpo-15452 )。

marshal ¶

默认 marshal version has been bumped to 3. The code implementing the new version restores the Python2 behavior of recording only one copy of interned strings and preserving the interning on deserialization, and extends this “one copy” ability to any object type (including handling recursive references). This reduces both the size of .pyc files and the amount of memory a module occupies in memory when it is loaded from a .pyc (或 .pyo ) file. (Contributed by Kristján Valur Jónsson in bpo-16475 , with additional speedups by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-19219 )。

mmap ¶

mmap objects can now be weakref ed. (Contributed by Valerie Lambert in bpo-4885 )。

multiprocessing ¶

On Unix two new 启动方法 , spawn and forkserver , have been added for starting processes using multiprocessing . These make the mixing of processes with threads more robust, and the spawn method matches the semantics that multiprocessing has always used on Windows. New function get_all_start_methods() reports all start methods available on the platform, get_start_method() reports the current start method, and set_start_method() sets the start method. (Contributed by Richard Oudkerk in bpo-8713 )。

multiprocessing also now has the concept of a context , which determines how child processes are created. New function get_context() returns a context that uses a specified start method. It has the same API as the multiprocessing module itself, so you can use it to create Pool s and other objects that will operate within that context. This allows a framework and an application or different parts of the same application to use multiprocessing without interfering with each other. (Contributed by Richard Oudkerk in bpo-18999 )。

Except when using the old fork start method, child processes no longer inherit unneeded handles/file descriptors from their parents (part of bpo-8713 ).

multiprocessing now relies on runpy (which implements the -m switch) to initialise __main__ appropriately in child processes when using the spawn or forkserver start methods. This resolves some edge cases where combining multiprocessing, the -m command line switch, and explicit relative imports could cause obscure failures in child processes. (Contributed by Nick Coghlan in bpo-19946 )。

operator ¶

New function length_hint() provides an implementation of the specification for how the __length_hint__() special method should be used, as part of the PEP 424 formal specification of this language feature. (Contributed by Armin Ronacher in bpo-16148 )。

There is now a pure-python version of the operator module available for reference and for use by alternate implementations of Python. (Contributed by Zachary Ware in bpo-16694 )。

os ¶

There are new functions to get and set the 可继承标志 of a file descriptor ( os.get_inheritable() , os.set_inheritable() ) or a Windows handle ( os.get_handle_inheritable() , os.set_handle_inheritable() ).

New function cpu_count() reports the number of CPUs available on the platform on which Python is running (or None if the count can’t be determined). The multiprocessing.cpu_count() function is now implemented in terms of this function). (Contributed by Trent Nelson, Yogesh Chaudhari, Victor Stinner, and Charles-François Natali in bpo-17914 )。

os.path.samestat() is now available on the Windows platform (and the os.path.samefile() implementation is now shared between Unix and Windows). (Contributed by Brian Curtin in bpo-11939 )。

os.path.ismount() now recognizes volumes mounted below a drive root on Windows. (Contributed by Tim Golden in bpo-9035 )。

os.open() supports two new flags on platforms that provide them, O_PATH (un-opened file descriptor), and O_TMPFILE (unnamed temporary file; as of 3.4.0 release available only on Linux systems with a kernel version of 3.11 or newer that have uapi headers). (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-18673 and Benjamin Peterson, respectively.)

pdb ¶

pdb has been enhanced to handle generators, yield ，和 yield from in a more useful fashion. This is especially helpful when debugging asyncio based programs. (Contributed by Andrew Svetlov and Xavier de Gaye in bpo-16596 )。

The print command has been removed from pdb , restoring access to the Python print() function from the pdb command line. Python2’s pdb did not have a print command; instead, entering print executed the print statement. In Python3 print was mistakenly made an alias for the pdb p 命令。 p , however, prints the repr of its argument, not the str like the Python2 print command did. Worse, the Python3 pdb print command shadowed the Python3 print function, making it inaccessible at the pdb prompt. (Contributed by Connor Osborn in bpo-18764 )。

pickle ¶

pickle now supports (but does not use by default) a new pickle protocol, protocol 4. This new protocol addresses a number of issues that were present in previous protocols, such as the serialization of nested classes, very large strings and containers, and classes whose __new__() method takes keyword-only arguments. It also provides some efficiency improvements.

PEP written by Antoine Pitrou and implemented by Alexandre Vassalotti.

plistlib ¶

plistlib now has an API that is similar to the standard pattern for stdlib serialization protocols, with new load() , dump() , loads() ，和 dumps() functions. (The older API is now deprecated.) In addition to the already supported XML plist format ( FMT_XML ), it also now supports the binary plist format ( FMT_BINARY ). (Contributed by Ronald Oussoren and others in bpo-14455 )。

poplib ¶

Two new methods have been added to poplib : capa() , which returns the list of capabilities advertised by the POP server, and stls() , which switches a clear-text POP3 session into an encrypted POP3 session if the POP server supports it. (Contributed by Lorenzo Catucci in bpo-4473 )。

pprint ¶

The pprint 模块的 PrettyPrinter class and its pformat() ，和 pprint() functions have a new option, compact , that controls how the output is formatted. Currently setting compact to True means that sequences will be printed with as many sequence elements as will fit within width on each (indented) line. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-19132 )。

Long strings are now wrapped using Python’s normal line continuation syntax. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-17150 )。

pty ¶

pty.spawn() now returns the status value from os.waitpid() on the child process, instead of None . (Contributed by Gregory P. Smith.)

pydoc ¶

The pydoc module is now based directly on the inspect.signature() introspection API, allowing it to provide signature information for a wider variety of callable objects. This change also means that __wrapped__ attributes are now taken into account when displaying help information. (Contributed by Larry Hastings in bpo-19674 )。

The pydoc module no longer displays the self parameter for already bound methods. Instead, it aims to always display the exact current signature of the supplied callable. (Contributed by Larry Hastings in bpo-20710 )。

In addition to the changes that have been made to pydoc directly, its handling of custom __dir__ methods and various descriptor behaviours has also been improved substantially by the underlying changes in the inspect 模块。

As the help() builtin is based on pydoc , the above changes also affect the behaviour of help() .

re ¶

New fullmatch() 函数和 regex.fullmatch() method anchor the pattern at both ends of the string to match. This provides a way to be explicit about the goal of the match, which avoids a class of subtle bugs where $ characters get lost during code changes or the addition of alternatives to an existing regular expression. (Contributed by Matthew Barnett in bpo-16203 )。

The repr of 正则对象 now includes the pattern and the flags; the repr of 匹配对象 now includes the start, end, and the part of the string that matched. (Contributed by Hugo Lopes Tavares and Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-13592 and bpo-17087 )。

resource ¶

New prlimit() function, available on Linux platforms with a kernel version of 2.6.36 or later and glibc of 2.13 or later, provides the ability to query or set the resource limits for processes other than the one making the call. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-16595 )。

On Linux kernel version 2.6.36 or later, there are also some new Linux specific constants: RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE , RLIMIT_NICE , RLIMIT_RTPRIO , RLIMIT_RTTIME ，和 RLIMIT_SIGPENDING . (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-19324 )。

On FreeBSD version 9 and later, there some new FreeBSD specific constants: RLIMIT_SBSIZE , RLIMIT_SWAP ，和 RLIMIT_NPTS . (Contributed by Claudiu Popa in bpo-19343 )。

select ¶

epoll objects now support the context management protocol. When used in a with statement, the close() method will be called automatically at the end of the block. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-16488 )。

devpoll objects now have fileno() and close() methods, as well as a new attribute closed . (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-18794 )。

shelve ¶

Shelf instances may now be used in with statements, and will be automatically closed at the end of the with block. (Contributed by Filip Gruszczyński in bpo-13896 )。

shutil ¶

copyfile() now raises a specific Error 子类， SameFileError , when the source and destination are the same file, which allows an application to take appropriate action on this specific error. (Contributed by Atsuo Ishimoto and Hynek Schlawack in bpo-1492704 )。

smtpd ¶

The SMTPServer and SMTPChannel classes now accept a map keyword argument which, if specified, is passed in to asynchat.async_chat as its map argument. This allows an application to avoid affecting the global socket map. (Contributed by Vinay Sajip in bpo-11959 )。

smtplib ¶

SMTPException 现在是子类化的 OSError , which allows both socket level errors and SMTP protocol level errors to be caught in one try/except statement by code that only cares whether or not an error occurred. (Contributed by Ned Jackson Lovely in bpo-2118 )。

socket ¶

The socket module now supports the CAN_BCM protocol on platforms that support it. (Contributed by Brian Thorne in bpo-15359 )。

Socket objects have new methods to get or set their 可继承标志 , get_inheritable() and set_inheritable() .

The socket.AF_* and socket.SOCK_* constants are now enumeration values using the new enum module. This allows meaningful names to be printed during debugging, instead of integer “magic numbers”.

The AF_LINK constant is now available on BSD and OSX.

inet_pton() and inet_ntop() are now supported on Windows. (Contributed by Atsuo Ishimoto in bpo-7171 )。

sqlite3 ¶

A new boolean parameter to the connect() 函数， uri , can be used to indicate that the database parameter is a uri (见 SQLite URI documentation ). (Contributed by poq in bpo-13773 )。

ssl ¶

PROTOCOL_TLSv1_1 and PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2 (TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 support) have been added; support for these protocols is only available if Python is linked with OpenSSL 1.0.1 or later. (Contributed by Michele Orrù and Antoine Pitrou in bpo-16692 )。

New function create_default_context() provides a standard way to obtain an SSLContext whose settings are intended to be a reasonable balance between compatibility and security. These settings are more stringent than the defaults provided by the SSLContext constructor, and may be adjusted in the future, without prior deprecation, if best-practice security requirements change. The new recommended best practice for using stdlib libraries that support SSL is to use create_default_context() to obtain an SSLContext object, modify it if needed, and then pass it as the context argument of the appropriate stdlib API. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-19689 )。

SSLContext 方法 load_verify_locations() accepts a new optional argument cadata , which can be used to provide PEM or DER encoded certificates directly via strings or bytes, respectively. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-18138 )。

New function get_default_verify_paths() returns a named tuple of the paths and environment variables that the set_default_verify_paths() method uses to set OpenSSL’s default cafile and capath . This can be an aid in debugging default verification issues. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-18143 )。

SSLContext has a new method, cert_store_stats() , that reports the number of loaded X.509 certs, X.509 CA certs, and certificate revocation lists ( crl s), as well as a get_ca_certs() method that returns a list of the loaded CA certificates. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-18147 )。

If OpenSSL 0.9.8 or later is available, SSLContext has a new attribute verify_flags that can be used to control the certificate verification process by setting it to some combination of the new constants VERIFY_DEFAULT , VERIFY_CRL_CHECK_LEAF , VERIFY_CRL_CHECK_CHAIN ，或 VERIFY_X509_STRICT . OpenSSL does not do any CRL verification by default. (Contributed by Christien Heimes in bpo-8813 )。

New SSLContext 方法 load_default_certs() loads a set of default “certificate authority” (CA) certificates from default locations, which vary according to the platform. It can be used to load both TLS web server authentication certificates ( purpose= SERVER_AUTH ) for a client to use to verify a server, and certificates for a server to use in verifying client certificates ( purpose= CLIENT_AUTH ). (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-19292 )。

Two new windows-only functions, enum_certificates() and enum_crls() provide the ability to retrieve certificates, certificate information, and CRLs from the Windows cert store. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-17134 )。

Support for server-side SNI (Server Name Indication) using the new ssl.SSLContext.set_servername_callback() method. (Contributed by Daniel Black in bpo-8109 )。

The dictionary returned by SSLSocket.getpeercert() contains additional X509v3 extension items: crlDistributionPoints , calIssuers ，和 OCSP URIs. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-18379 )。

stat ¶

The stat module is now backed by a C implementation in _stat . A C implementation is required as most of the values aren’t standardized and are platform-dependent. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-11016 )。

The module supports new ST_MODE flags, S_IFDOOR , S_IFPORT ，和 S_IFWHT . (Contributed by Christian Hiemes in bpo-11016 )。

struct ¶

New function iter_unpack 和新的 struct.Struct.iter_unpack() method on compiled formats provide streamed unpacking of a buffer containing repeated instances of a given format of data. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-17804 )。

subprocess ¶

check_output() now accepts an input argument that can be used to provide the contents of stdin for the command that is run. (Contributed by Zack Weinberg in bpo-16624 )。

getstatus() and getstatusoutput() now work on Windows. This change was actually inadvertently made in 3.3.4. (Contributed by Tim Golden in bpo-10197 )。

sunau ¶

The getparams() method now returns a namedtuple rather than a plain tuple. (Contributed by Claudiu Popa in bpo-18901 )。

sunau.open() now supports the context management protocol: when used in a with block, the close method of the returned object will be called automatically at the end of the block. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-18878 )。

AU_write.setsampwidth() now supports 24 bit samples, thus adding support for writing 24 sample using the module. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-19261 )。

The writeframesraw() and writeframes() methods now accept any 像字节对象 . (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-8311 )。

sys ¶

New function sys.getallocatedblocks() returns the current number of blocks allocated by the interpreter. (In CPython with the default --with-pymalloc setting, this is allocations made through the PyObject_Malloc() API.) This can be useful for tracking memory leaks, especially if automated via a test suite. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-13390 )。

When the Python interpreter starts in 交互模式 , it checks for an __interactivehook__ 属性在 sys module. If the attribute exists, its value is called with no arguments just before interactive mode is started. The check is made after the PYTHONSTARTUP file is read, so it can be set there. The site 模块 sets it to a function that enables tab completion and history saving (in ~/.python-history ) if the platform supports readline . If you do not want this (new) behavior, you can override it in PYTHONSTARTUP , sitecustomize ，或 usercustomize by deleting this attribute from sys (or setting it to some other callable). (Contributed by Éric Araujo and Antoine Pitrou in bpo-5845 )。

tarfile ¶

The tarfile module now supports a simple 命令行接口 when called as a script directly or via -m . This can be used to create and extract tarfile archives. (Contributed by Berker Peksag in bpo-13477 )。

textwrap ¶

The TextWrapper class has two new attributes/constructor arguments: max_lines , which limits the number of lines in the output, and placeholder , which is a string that will appear at the end of the output if it has been truncated because of max_lines . Building on these capabilities, a new convenience function shorten() collapses all of the whitespace in the input to single spaces and produces a single line of a given width that ends with the placeholder (by default, [...] ). (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou and Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-18585 and bpo-18725 )。

threading ¶

The Thread object representing the main thread can be obtained from the new main_thread() function. In normal conditions this will be the thread from which the Python interpreter was started. (Contributed by Andrew Svetlov in bpo-18882 )。

traceback ¶

新的 traceback.clear_frames() function takes a traceback object and clears the local variables in all of the frames it references, reducing the amount of memory consumed. (Contributed by Andrew Kuchling in bpo-1565525 )。

类型 ¶

新的 DynamicClassAttribute() descriptor provides a way to define an attribute that acts normally when looked up through an instance object, but which is routed to the class __getattr__ when looked up through the class. This allows one to have properties active on a class, and have virtual attributes on the class with the same name (see Enum for an example). (Contributed by Ethan Furman in bpo-19030 )。

urllib ¶

urllib.request 现在支持 data: URLs via the DataHandler class. (Contributed by Mathias Panzenböck in bpo-16423 )。

The http method that will be used by a Request class can now be specified by setting a method class attribute on the subclass. (Contributed by Jason R Coombs in bpo-18978 )。

Request objects are now reusable: if the full_url or data attributes are modified, all relevant internal properties are updated. This means, for example, that it is now possible to use the same Request object in more than one OpenerDirector.open() call with different data arguments, or to modify a Request ‘s url rather than recomputing it from scratch. There is also a new remove_header() method that can be used to remove headers from a Request . (Contributed by Alexey Kachayev in bpo-16464 , Daniel Wozniak in bpo-17485 , and Damien Brecht and Senthil Kumaran in bpo-17272 )。

HTTPError objects now have a headers attribute that provides access to the HTTP response headers associated with the error. (Contributed by Berker Peksag in bpo-15701 )。

unittest ¶

The TestCase class has a new method, subTest() , that produces a context manager whose with block becomes a “sub-test”. This context manager allows a test method to dynamically generate subtests by, say, calling the subTest context manager inside a loop. A single test method can thereby produce an indefinite number of separately-identified and separately-counted tests, all of which will run even if one or more of them fail. For example:

class NumbersTest(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_even(self):
        for i in range(6):
            with self.subTest(i=i):
                self.assertEqual(i % 2, 0)
					

will result in six subtests, each identified in the unittest verbose output with a label consisting of the variable name i and a particular value for that variable ( i=0 , i=1 , etc). See Distinguishing test iterations using subtests for the full version of this example. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-16997 )。

unittest.main() now accepts an iterable of test names for defaultTest , where previously it only accepted a single test name as a string. (Contributed by Jyrki Pulliainen in bpo-15132 )。

若 SkipTest is raised during test discovery (that is, at the module level in the test file), it is now reported as a skip instead of an error. (Contributed by Zach Ware in bpo-16935 )。

discover() now sorts the discovered files to provide consistent test ordering. (Contributed by Martin Melin and Jeff Ramnani in bpo-16709 )。

TestSuite now drops references to tests as soon as the test has been run, if the test is successful. On Python interpreters that do garbage collection, this allows the tests to be garbage collected if nothing else is holding a reference to the test. It is possible to override this behavior by creating a TestSuite subclass that defines a custom _removeTestAtIndex method. (Contributed by Tom Wardill, Matt McClure, and Andrew Svetlov in bpo-11798 )。

A new test assertion context-manager, assertLogs() , will ensure that a given block of code emits a log message using the logging module. By default the message can come from any logger and have a priority of INFO or higher, but both the logger name and an alternative minimum logging level may be specified. The object returned by the context manager can be queried for the LogRecord s and/or formatted messages that were logged. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-18937 )。

Test discovery now works with namespace packages (Contributed by Claudiu Popa in bpo-17457 )。

unittest.mock objects now inspect their specification signatures when matching calls, which means an argument can now be matched by either position or name, instead of only by position. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-17015 )。

mock_open() objects now have readline and readlines methods. (Contributed by Toshio Kuratomi in bpo-17467 )。

venv ¶

venv now includes activation scripts for the csh and fish shells. (Contributed by Andrew Svetlov in bpo-15417 )。

EnvBuilder 和 create() convenience function take a new keyword argument with_pip ，其默认为 False , that controls whether or not EnvBuilder ensures that pip is installed in the virtual environment. (Contributed by Nick Coghlan in bpo-19552 as part of the PEP 453 implementation.)

wave ¶

The getparams() method now returns a namedtuple rather than a plain tuple. (Contributed by Claudiu Popa in bpo-17487 )。

wave.open() now supports the context management protocol. (Contributed by Claudiu Popa in bpo-17616 )。

wave can now write output to unseekable files . (Contributed by David Jones, Guilherme Polo, and Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-5202 )。

The writeframesraw() and writeframes() methods now accept any 像字节对象 . (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-8311 )。

weakref ¶

New WeakMethod class simulates weak references to bound methods. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-14631 )。

New finalize class makes it possible to register a callback to be invoked when an object is garbage collected, without needing to carefully manage the lifecycle of the weak reference itself. (Contributed by Richard Oudkerk in bpo-15528 )。

The callback, if any, associated with a ref is now exposed via the __callback__ attribute. (Contributed by Mark Dickinson in bpo-17643 )。

xml.etree ¶

A new parser, XMLPullParser , allows a non-blocking applications to parse XML documents. An example can be seen at Pull API for non-blocking parsing . (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-17741 )。

The xml.etree.ElementTree tostring() and tostringlist() functions, and the ElementTree write() method, now have a short_empty_elements keyword-only parameter providing control over whether elements with no content are written in abbreviated ( <tag /> ) or expanded ( <tag></tag> ) form. (Contributed by Ariel Poliak and Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-14377 )。

zipfile ¶

The writepy() 方法在 PyZipFile class has a new filterfunc option that can be used to control which directories and files are added to the archive. For example, this could be used to exclude test files from the archive. (Contributed by Christian Tismer in bpo-19274 )。

The allowZip64 参数用于 ZipFile and PyZipfile 现为 True by default. (Contributed by William Mallard in bpo-17201 )。

CPython 实现变化 ¶

PEP 445: Customization of CPython Memory Allocators ¶

PEP 445 adds new C level interfaces to customize memory allocation in the CPython interpreter.

PEP 445 – Add new APIs to customize Python memory allocators

PEP written and implemented by Victor Stinner.

PEP 442: Safe Object Finalization ¶

PEP 442 removes the current limitations and quirks of object finalization in CPython. With it, objects with __del__() methods, as well as generators with finally clauses, can be finalized when they are part of a reference cycle.

As part of this change, module globals are no longer forcibly set to None during interpreter shutdown in most cases, instead relying on the normal operation of the cyclic garbage collector. This avoids a whole class of interpreter-shutdown-time errors, usually involving __del__ methods, that have plagued Python since the cyclic GC was first introduced.

PEP 442 – Safe object finalization

PEP written and implemented by Antoine Pitrou.

PEP 456: Secure and Interchangeable Hash Algorithm ¶

PEP 456 follows up on earlier security fix work done on Python’s hash algorithm to address certain DOS attacks to which public facing APIs backed by dictionary lookups may be subject. (See bpo-14621 for the start of the current round of improvements.) The PEP unifies CPython’s hash code to make it easier for a packager to substitute a different hash algorithm, and switches Python’s default implementation to a SipHash implementation on platforms that have a 64 bit data type. Any performance differences in comparison with the older FNV algorithm are trivial.

The PEP adds additional fields to the sys.hash_info struct sequence to describe the hash algorithm in use by the currently executing binary. Otherwise, the PEP does not alter any existing CPython APIs.

PEP 436: Argument Clinic ¶

“Argument Clinic” ( PEP 436 ) is now part of the CPython build process and can be used to simplify the process of defining and maintaining accurate signatures for builtins and standard library extension modules implemented in C.

Some standard library extension modules have been converted to use Argument Clinic in Python 3.4, and pydoc and inspect have been updated accordingly.

It is expected that signature metadata for programmatic introspection will be added to additional callables implemented in C as part of Python 3.4 maintenance releases.

注意

The Argument Clinic PEP is not fully up to date with the state of the implementation. This has been deemed acceptable by the release manager and core development team in this case, as Argument Clinic will not be made available as a public API for third party use in Python 3.4.

• 新的 Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding() pre-initialization API allows applications embedding the CPython interpreter to reliably force a particular encoding and error handler for the standard streams. (Contributed by Bastien Montagne and Nick Coghlan in bpo-16129 )。

• A new shell version of python-config can be used even when a python interpreter is not available (for example, in cross compilation scenarios).
• PyUnicode_FromFormat() now supports width and precision specifications for %s , %A , %U , %V , %S ，和 %R . (Contributed by Ysj Ray and Victor Stinner in bpo-7330 )。
• New function PyStructSequence_InitType2() supplements the existing PyStructSequence_InitType() function. The difference is that it returns 0 on success and -1 当故障时。
• The CPython source can now be compiled using the address sanity checking features of recent versions of GCC and clang: the false alarms in the small object allocator have been silenced. (Contributed by Dhiru Kholia in bpo-18596 )。
• The Windows build now uses Address Space Layout Randomization and Data Execution Prevention . (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-16632 )。
• New function PyObject_LengthHint() is the C API equivalent of operator.length_hint() . (Contributed by Armin Ronacher in bpo-16148 )。

其它改进 ¶

• The python command has a new option , -I , which causes it to run in “isolated mode”, which means that sys.path contains neither the script’s directory nor the user’s site-packages directory, and all PYTHON* environment variables are ignored (it implies both -s and -E ). Other restrictions may also be applied in the future, with the goal being to isolate the execution of a script from the user’s environment. This is appropriate, for example, when Python is used to run a system script. On most POSIX systems it can and should be used in the #! line of system scripts. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-16499 )。
• Tab-completion is now enabled by default in the interactive interpreter on systems that support readline . History is also enabled by default, and is written to (and read from) the file ~/.python-history . (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou and Éric Araujo in bpo-5845 )。
• Invoking the Python interpreter with --version now outputs the version to standard output instead of standard error ( bpo-18338 ). Similar changes were made to argparse ( bpo-18920 ) and other modules that have script-like invocation capabilities ( bpo-18922 ).
• The CPython Windows installer now adds .py 到 PATHEXT variable when extensions are registered, allowing users to run a python script at the windows command prompt by just typing its name without the .py extension. (Contributed by Paul Moore in bpo-18569 )。
• 新的 make target coverage-report will build python, run the test suite, and generate an HTML coverage report for the C codebase using gcov and lcov .
• The -R 选项到 python regression test suite now also checks for memory allocation leaks, using sys.getallocatedblocks() . (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-13390 )。
• python -m now works with namespace packages.
• The stat module is now implemented in C, which means it gets the values for its constants from the C header files, instead of having the values hard-coded in the python module as was previously the case.
• Loading multiple python modules from a single OS module ( .so , .dll ) now works correctly (previously it silently returned the first python module in the file). (Contributed by Václav Šmilauer in bpo-16421 )。
• A new opcode, LOAD_CLASSDEREF , has been added to fix a bug in the loading of free variables in class bodies that could be triggered by certain uses of __prepare__ . (Contributed by Benjamin Peterson in bpo-17853 )。
• A number of MemoryError-related crashes were identified and fixed by Victor Stinner using his PEP 445 -based pyfailmalloc tool ( bpo-18408 , bpo-18520 ).
• The pyvenv command now accepts a --copies option to use copies rather than symlinks even on systems where symlinks are the default. (Contributed by Vinay Sajip in bpo-18807 )。
• The pyvenv command also accepts a --without-pip option to suppress the otherwise-automatic bootstrapping of pip into the virtual environment. (Contributed by Nick Coghlan in bpo-19552 as part of the PEP 453 implementation.)
• The encoding name is now optional in the value set for the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable. This makes it possible to set just the error handler, without changing the default encoding. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-18818 )。
• The bz2 , lzma ，和 gzip 模块 open functions now support x (exclusive creation) mode. (Contributed by Tim Heaney and Vajrasky Kok in bpo-19201 , bpo-19222 ，和 bpo-19223 )。

Significant Optimizations ¶

• The UTF-32 decoder is now 3x to 4x faster. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-14625 )。
• The cost of hash collisions for sets is now reduced. Each hash table probe now checks a series of consecutive, adjacent key/hash pairs before continuing to make random probes through the hash table. This exploits cache locality to make collision resolution less expensive. The collision resolution scheme can be described as a hybrid of linear probing and open addressing. The number of additional linear probes defaults to nine. This can be changed at compile-time by defining LINEAR_PROBES to be any value. Set LINEAR_PROBES=0 to turn-off linear probing entirely. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-18771 )。
• The interpreter starts about 30% faster. A couple of measures lead to the speedup. The interpreter loads fewer modules on startup, e.g. the re , collections and locale modules and their dependencies are no longer imported by default. The marshal module has been improved to load compiled Python code faster. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou, Christian Heimes and Victor Stinner in bpo-19219 , bpo-19218 , bpo-19209 , bpo-19205 and bpo-9548 )。
• bz2.BZ2File is now as fast or faster than the Python2 version for most cases. lzma.LZMAFile has also been optimized. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka and Nadeem Vawda in bpo-16034 )。
• random.getrandbits() is 20%-40% faster for small integers (the most common use case). (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-16674 )。
• By taking advantage of the new storage format for strings, pickling of strings is now significantly faster. (Contributed by Victor Stinner and Antoine Pitrou in bpo-15596 )。
• A performance issue in io.FileIO.readall() has been solved. This particularly affects Windows, and significantly speeds up the case of piping significant amounts of data through subprocess . (Contributed by Richard Oudkerk in bpo-15758 )。
• html.escape() is now 10x faster. (Contributed by Matt Bryant in bpo-18020 )。
• On Windows, the native VirtualAlloc is now used instead of the CRT malloc in obmalloc . Artificial benchmarks show about a 3% memory savings.
• os.urandom() now uses a lazily-opened persistent file descriptor so as to avoid using many file descriptors when run in parallel from multiple threads. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-18756 )。

弃用 ¶

This section covers various APIs and other features that have been deprecated in Python 3.4, and will be removed in Python 3.5 or later. In most (but not all) cases, using the deprecated APIs will produce a DeprecationWarning when the interpreter is run with deprecation warnings enabled (for example, by using -Wd ).

Deprecations in the Python API ¶

• As mentioned in PEP 451: A ModuleSpec Type for the Import System , a number of importlib methods and functions are deprecated: importlib.find_loader() is 被替换通过 importlib.util.find_spec() ; importlib.machinery.PathFinder.find_module() 被替换通过 importlib.machinery.PathFinder.find_spec() ; importlib.abc.MetaPathFinder.find_module() 被替换通过 importlib.abc.MetaPathFinder.find_spec() ; importlib.abc.PathEntryFinder.find_loader() and find_module() are replaced by importlib.abc.PathEntryFinder.find_spec() ; all of the xxxLoader ABC (抽象基类) load_module methods ( importlib.abc.Loader.load_module() , importlib.abc.InspectLoader.load_module() , importlib.abc.FileLoader.load_module() , importlib.abc.SourceLoader.load_module() ) should no longer be implemented, instead loaders should implement an exec_module 方法 ( importlib.abc.Loader.exec_module() , importlib.abc.InspectLoader.exec_module() importlib.abc.SourceLoader.exec_module() ) and let the import system take care of the rest; and importlib.abc.Loader.module_repr() , importlib.util.module_for_loader() , importlib.util.set_loader() , and importlib.util.set_package() are no longer needed because their functions are now handled automatically by the import system.
• The imp module is pending deprecation. To keep compatibility with Python 2/3 code bases, the module’s removal is currently not scheduled.
• The formatter module is pending deprecation and is slated for removal in Python 3.6.
• MD5 as the default digestmod 为 hmac.new() function is deprecated. Python 3.6 will require an explicit digest name or constructor as digestmod 自变量。
• The internal Netrc 类在 ftplib module has been documented as deprecated in its docstring for quite some time. It now emits a DeprecationWarning and will be removed completely in Python 3.5.
• The undocumented endtime 自变量对于 subprocess.Popen.wait() should not have been exposed and is hopefully not in use; it is deprecated and will mostly likely be removed in Python 3.5.
• The strict 自变量 HTMLParser 被弃用。
• The plistlib readPlist() , writePlist() , readPlistFromBytes() ，和 writePlistToBytes() functions are deprecated in favor of the corresponding new functions load() , dump() , loads() ，和 dumps() . Data() is deprecated in favor of just using the bytes 构造函数。
• The sysconfig key SO is deprecated, it has been replaced by EXT_SUFFIX .
• The U mode accepted by various open functions is deprecated. In Python3 it does not do anything useful, and should be replaced by appropriate uses of io.TextIOWrapper (if needed) and its newline 自变量。
• The parser 自变量 xml.etree.ElementTree.iterparse() has been deprecated, as has the html 自变量 XMLParser() . To prepare for the removal of the latter, all arguments to XMLParser should be passed by keyword.

弃用特征 ¶

• 运行 IDLE 采用 -n flag (no subprocess) is deprecated. However, the feature will not be removed until bpo-18823 is resolved.
• The site module adding a “site-python” directory to sys.path, if it exists, is deprecated ( bpo-19375 ).

移除 ¶

Operating Systems No Longer Supported ¶

Support for the following operating systems has been removed from the source and build tools:

• OS/2 ( bpo-16135 ).
• Windows 2000 (changeset e52df05b496a).
• Windows systems where COMSPEC points to command.com ( bpo-14470 ).
• VMS ( bpo-16136 ).

API 和特征移除 ¶

The following obsolete and previously deprecated APIs and features have been removed:

• The unmaintained Misc/TextMate and Misc/vim directories have been removed (see the devguide for suggestions on what to use instead).
• The SO makefile macro is removed (it was replaced by the SHLIB_SUFFIX and EXT_SUFFIX macros) ( bpo-16754 ).
• The PyThreadState.tick_counter field has been removed; its value has been meaningless since Python 3.2, when the “new GIL” was introduced ( bpo-19199 ).
• PyLoader and PyPycLoader have been removed from importlib . (Contributed by Taras Lyapun in bpo-15641 )。
• The strict 自变量对于 HTTPConnection and HTTPSConnection has been removed. HTTP 0.9-style “Simple Responses” are no longer supported.
• The deprecated urllib.request.Request getter and setter methods add_data , has_data , get_data , get_type , get_host , get_selector , set_proxy , get_origin_req_host ，和 is_unverifiable have been removed (use direct attribute access instead).
• Support for loading the deprecated TYPE_INT64 has been removed from marshal . (Contributed by Dan Riti in bpo-15480 )。
• inspect.Signature : positional-only parameters are now required to have a valid name.
• object.__format__() no longer accepts non-empty format strings, it now 引发 TypeError instead. Using a non-empty string has been deprecated since Python 3.2. This change has been made to prevent a situation where previously working (but incorrect) code would start failing if an object gained a __format__ method, which means that your code may now 引发 TypeError if you are using an 's' format code with objects that do not have a __format__ method that handles it. See bpo-7994 for background.
• difflib.SequenceMatcher.isbjunk() and difflib.SequenceMatcher.isbpopular() were deprecated in 3.2, and have now been removed: use x in sm.bjunk and x in sm.bpopular ，其中 sm 是 SequenceMatcher 对象 ( bpo-13248 ).

Code Cleanups ¶

• The unused and undocumented internal Scanner class has been removed from the pydoc 模块。
• The private and effectively unused _gestalt module has been removed, along with the private platform 函数 _mac_ver_lookup , _mac_ver_gstalt ，和 _bcd2str , which would only have ever been called on badly broken OSX systems (see bpo-18393 ).
• The hardcoded copies of certain stat constants that were included in the tarfile module namespace have been removed.

移植到 Python 3.4 ¶

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

Changes in ‘python’ Command Behavior ¶

• In a posix shell, setting the PATH 环境变量到 an empty value is equivalent to not setting it at all. However, setting PYTHONPATH to an empty value was not equivalent to not setting it at all: setting PYTHONPATH to an empty value was equivalent to setting it to . , which leads to confusion when reasoning by analogy to how PATH works. The behavior now conforms to the posix convention for PATH .
• The [X refs, Y blocks] output of a debug ( --with-pydebug ) build of the CPython interpreter is now off by default. It can be re-enabled using the -X showrefcount option. (Contributed by Ezio Melotti in bpo-17323 )。
• The python command and most stdlib scripts (as well as argparse ) now output --version information to stdout 而不是 stderr (对于 issue list see 其它改进 above).

Python API 变化 ¶

• The ABCs defined in importlib.abc now either raise the appropriate exception or return a default value instead of raising NotImplementedError blindly. This will only affect code calling super() and falling through all the way to the ABCs. For compatibility, catch both NotImplementedError or the appropriate exception as needed.
• The module type now initializes the __package__ and __loader__ attributes to None by default. To determine if these attributes were set in a backwards-compatible fashion, use e.g. getattr(module, '__loader__', None) is not None . ( bpo-17115 )。
• importlib.util.module_for_loader() now sets __loader__ and __package__ unconditionally to properly support reloading. If this is not desired then you will need to set these attributes manually. You can use importlib.util.module_to_load() for module management.
• Import now resets relevant attributes (e.g. __name__ , __loader__ , __package__ , __file__ , __cached__ ) unconditionally when reloading. Note that this restores a pre-3.3 behavior in that it means a module is re-found when re-loaded ( bpo-19413 ).
• Frozen packages no longer set __path__ to a list containing the package name, they now set it to an empty list. The previous behavior could cause the import system to do the wrong thing on submodule imports if there was also a directory with the same name as the frozen package. The correct way to determine if a module is a package or not is to use hasattr(module, '__path__') ( bpo-18065 ).
• Frozen modules no longer define a __file__ attribute. It’s semantically incorrect for frozen modules to set the attribute as they are not loaded from any explicit location. If you must know that a module comes from frozen code then you can see if the module’s __spec__.location 被设为 'frozen' , check if the loader is a subclass of importlib.machinery.FrozenImporter , or if Python 2 compatibility is necessary you can use imp.is_frozen() .
• py_compile.compile() 现在引发 FileExistsError if the file path it would write to is a symlink or a non-regular file. This is to act as a warning that import will overwrite those files with a regular file regardless of what type of file path they were originally.
• importlib.abc.SourceLoader.get_source() no longer raises ImportError when the source code being loaded triggers a SyntaxError or UnicodeDecodeError . As ImportError is meant to be raised only when source code cannot be found but it should, it was felt to be over-reaching/overloading of that meaning when the source code is found but improperly structured. If you were catching ImportError before and wish to continue to ignore syntax or decoding issues, catch all three exceptions now.
• functools.update_wrapper() and functools.wraps() now correctly set the __wrapped__ attribute to the function being wrapped, even if that function also had its __wrapped__ attribute set. This means __wrapped__ attributes now correctly link a stack of decorated functions rather than every __wrapped__ attribute in the chain referring to the innermost function. Introspection libraries that assumed the previous behaviour was intentional can use inspect.unwrap() to access the first function in the chain that has no __wrapped__ 属性。
• inspect.getfullargspec() has been reimplemented on top of inspect.signature() and hence handles a much wider variety of callable objects than it did in the past. It is expected that additional builtin and extension module callables will gain signature metadata over the course of the Python 3.4 series. Code that assumes that inspect.getfullargspec() will fail on non-Python callables may need to be adjusted accordingly.
• importlib.machinery.PathFinder now passes on the current working directory to objects in sys.path_hooks for the empty string. This 产生 sys.path_importer_cache never containing '' , thus iterating through sys.path_importer_cache 基于 sys.path will not find all keys. A module’s __file__ when imported in the current working directory will also now have an absolute path, including when using -m with the interpreter (except for __main__.__file__ when a script has been executed directly using a relative path) (Contributed by Brett Cannon in bpo-18416 ). is specified on the command-line) ( bpo-18416 ).
• The removal of the strict 自变量对于 HTTPConnection and HTTPSConnection changes the meaning of the remaining arguments if you are specifying them positionally rather than by keyword. If you’ve been paying attention to deprecation warnings your code should already be specifying any additional arguments via keywords.
• Strings between from __future__ import ... statements now always raise a SyntaxError . Previously if there was no leading docstring, an interstitial string would sometimes be ignored. This brings CPython into compliance with the language spec; Jython and PyPy already were. ( bpo-17434 ).
• ssl.SSLSocket.getpeercert() and ssl.SSLSocket.do_handshake() now raise an OSError with ENOTCONN 当 SSLSocket 不是 connected, instead of the previous behavior of raising an AttributeError . In addition, getpeercert() 将引发 ValueError if the handshake has not yet been done.
• base64.b32decode() now raises a binascii.Error 当 input string contains non-b32-alphabet characters, instead of a TypeError . This particular TypeError was missed when the other TypeError s were converted. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-18011 .) Note: this change was also inadvertently applied in Python 3.3.3.
• The file attribute is now automatically closed when the creating cgi.FieldStorage instance is garbage collected. If you were pulling the file object out separately from the cgi.FieldStorage instance and not keeping the instance alive, then you should either store the entire cgi.FieldStorage instance or read the contents of the file 先于 cgi.FieldStorage instance is garbage collected.
• 调用 read or write on a closed SSL socket now raises an informative ValueError rather than the previous more mysterious AttributeError ( bpo-9177 ).
• slice.indices() no longer produces an OverflowError for huge values. As a consequence of this fix, slice.indices() now raises a ValueError if given a negative length; previously it returned nonsense 值 ( bpo-14794 ).
• The complex constructor, unlike the cmath functions, was incorrectly accepting float values if an object’s __complex__ special method returned one. This now raises a TypeError . ( bpo-16290 )。
• The int constructor in 3.2 and 3.3 erroneously accepts float values for the base parameter. It is unlikely anyone was doing this, but if so, it will now raise a TypeError ( bpo-16772 ).
• Defaults for keyword-only arguments are now evaluated after defaults for regular keyword arguments, instead of before. Hopefully no one wrote any code that depends on the previous buggy behavior ( bpo-16967 ).
• Stale thread states are now cleared after fork() . This may cause some system resources to be released that previously were incorrectly kept perpetually alive (for example, database connections kept in thread-local storage). ( bpo-17094 )。
• Parameter names in __annotations__ dicts are now mangled properly, similarly to __kwdefaults__ . (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-20625 )。
• hashlib.hash.name now always returns the identifier in lower case. Previously some builtin hashes had uppercase names, but now that it is a formal public interface the naming has been made consistent ( bpo-18532 ).
• 因为 unittest.TestSuite now drops references to tests after they are run, test harnesses that re-use a TestSuite to re-run a set of tests may fail. Test suites should not be re-used in this fashion since it means state is retained between test runs, breaking the test isolation that unittest is designed to provide. However, if the lack of isolation is considered acceptable, the old behavior can be restored by creating a TestSuite subclass that defines a _removeTestAtIndex method that does nothing (see TestSuite.__iter__() ) ( bpo-11798 ).
• unittest 现在使用 argparse for command line parsing. There are certain invalid command forms that used to work that are no longer allowed; in theory this should not cause backward compatibility issues since the disallowed command forms didn’t make any sense and are unlikely to be in use.
• The re.split() , re.findall() ，和 re.sub() functions, and the group() and groups() methods of match objects now always return a bytes object when the string to be matched is a 像字节对象 . Previously the return type matched the input type, so if your code was depending on the return value being, say, a bytearray , you will need to change your code.
• audioop functions now raise an error immediately if passed string input, instead of failing randomly later on ( bpo-16685 ).
• 新的 convert_charrefs 自变量对于 HTMLParser currently defaults to False for backward compatibility, but will eventually be changed to default to True . It is recommended that you add this keyword, with the appropriate value, to any HTMLParser calls in your code ( bpo-13633 ).
• 由于 digestmod 自变量到 hmac.new() function will in the future have no default, all calls to hmac.new() should be changed to explicitly specify a digestmod ( bpo-17276 ).
• 调用 sysconfig.get_config_var() 采用 SO key, or looking SO up in the results of a call to sysconfig.get_config_vars() is deprecated. This key should be replaced by EXT_SUFFIX or SHLIB_SUFFIX , depending on the context ( bpo-19555 ).
• Any calls to open functions that specify U should be modified. U is ineffective in Python3 and will eventually raise an error if used. Depending on the function, the equivalent of its old Python2 behavior can be achieved using either a newline argument, or if necessary by wrapping the stream in TextIOWrapper to use its newline argument ( bpo-15204 ).
• 若使用 pyvenv in a script and desire that pip not be installed, you must add --without-pip to your command invocation.
• The default behavior of json.dump() and json.dumps() 当 an indent is specified has changed: it no longer produces trailing spaces after the item separating commas at the ends of lines. This will matter only if you have tests that are doing white-space-sensitive comparisons of such output ( bpo-16333 ).
• doctest now looks for doctests in extension module __doc__ strings, so if your doctest test discovery includes extension modules that have things that look like doctests in them you may see test failures you’ve never seen before when running your tests ( bpo-3158 ).
• The collections.abc module has been slightly refactored as part of the Python startup improvements. As a consequence of this, it is no longer the case that importing collections automatically imports collections.abc . If your program depended on the (undocumented) implicit import, you will need to add an explicit import collections.abc ( bpo-20784 ).

C API 变化 ¶

• PyEval_EvalFrameEx() , PyObject_Repr() ，和 PyObject_Str() , along with some other internal C APIs, now include a debugging assertion that ensures they are not used in situations where they may silently discard a currently active exception. In cases where discarding the active exception is expected and desired (for example, because it has already been saved locally with PyErr_Fetch() or is being deliberately replaced with a different exception), an explicit PyErr_Clear() call will be needed to avoid triggering the assertion when invoking these operations (directly or indirectly) and running against a version of Python that is compiled with assertions 被启用。
• PyErr_SetImportError() now sets TypeError when its msg argument is not set. Previously only NULL was returned with no exception set.
• The result of the PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer callback must now be a string allocated by PyMem_RawMalloc() or PyMem_RawRealloc() ，或 NULL if an error occurred, instead of a string allocated by PyMem_Malloc() or PyMem_Realloc() ( bpo-16742 )
• PyThread_set_key_value() now always set the value. In Python 3.3, the function did nothing if the key already exists (if the current value is a non-NULL pointer).
• The f_tstate (thread state) field of the PyFrameObject structure has been removed to fix a bug: see bpo-14432 为 rationale.

3.4.3 版改变 ¶

PEP 476: Enabling certificate verification by default for stdlib http clients ¶

http.client and modules which use it, such as urllib.request and xmlrpc.client , will now verify that the server presents a certificate which is signed by a CA in the platform trust store and whose hostname matches the hostname being requested by default, significantly improving security for many applications.

For applications which require the old previous behavior, they can pass an alternate context:

import urllib.request
import ssl
# This disables all verification
context = ssl._create_unverified_context()
# This allows using a specific certificate for the host, which doesn't need
# to be in the trust store
context = ssl.create_default_context(cafile="/path/to/file.crt")
urllib.request.urlopen("https://invalid-cert", context=context)
