PEP 392 - Python 3.2 发布计划

PEP 384: 定义稳定的ABI¶

In the past, extension modules built for one Python version were often

not usable with other Python versions. Particularly on Windows, every

feature release of Python required rebuilding all extension modules that

one wanted to use. This requirement was the result of the free access to

Python interpreter internals that extension modules could use.

With Python 3.2, an alternative approach becomes available: extension

modules which restrict themselves to a limited API (by defining

Py_LIMITED_API) cannot use many of the internals, but are constrained

to a set of API functions that are promised to be stable for several

releases. As a consequence, extension modules built for 3.2 in that

mode will also work with 3.3, 3.4, and so on. Extension modules that

make use of details of memory structures can still be built, but will

need to be recompiled for every feature release.

PEP 389: Argparse 命令行解析模块¶

A new module for command line parsing, argparse, was introduced to

overcome the limitations of optparse which did not provide support for

positional arguments (not just options), subcommands, required options and other

common patterns of specifying and validating options.

This module has already had widespread success in the community as a

third-party module. Being more fully featured than its predecessor, the

argparse module is now the preferred module for command-line processing.

The older module is still being kept available because of the substantial amount

of legacy code that depends on it.

Here's an annotated example parser showing features like limiting results to a

set of choices, specifying a metavar in the help screen, validating that one

or more positional arguments is present, and making a required option:

python3 notranslate">
importargparse

parser=argparse.ArgumentParser(

description='Manage servers',# main description for help

epilog='Tested on Solaris and Linux')# displayed after help

parser.add_argument('action',# argument name

choices=['deploy','start','stop'],# three allowed values

help='action on each target')# help msg

parser.add_argument('targets',

metavar='HOSTNAME',# var name used in help msg

nargs='+',# require one or more targets

help='url for target machines')# help msg explanation

parser.add_argument('-u','--user',# -u or --user option

required=True,# make it a required argument

help='login as user')

Example of calling the parser on a command string:

>>> cmd='deploy sneezy.example.com sleepy.example.com -u skycaptain'

>>> result=parser.parse_args(cmd.split())

>>> result.action

'deploy'

>>> result.targets

['sneezy.example.com', 'sleepy.example.com']

>>> result.user

'skycaptain'

Example of the parser's automatically generated help:

>>> parser.parse_args('-h'.split())

usage: manage_cloud.py [-h] -u USER

{deploy,start,stop} HOSTNAME [HOSTNAME ...]

Manage servers

positional arguments:

{deploy,start,stop} action on each target

HOSTNAME url for target machines

optional arguments:

-h, --help show this help message and exit

-u USER, --user USER login as user

Tested on Solaris and Linux

An especially nice argparse feature is the ability to define subparsers,

each with their own argument patterns and help displays:

importargparse

parser=argparse.ArgumentParser(prog='HELM')

subparsers=parser.add_subparsers()

parser_l=subparsers.add_parser('launch',help='Launch Control')# first subgroup

parser_l.add_argument('-m','--missiles',action='store_true')

parser_l.add_argument('-t','--torpedos',action='store_true')

parser_m=subparsers.add_parser('move',help='Move Vessel',# second subgroup

aliases=('steer','turn'))# equivalent names

parser_m.add_argument('-c','--course',type=int,required=True)

parser_m.add_argument('-s','--speed',type=int,default=0)

$ ./helm.py --help                         # top level help (launch and move)

$ ./helm.py launch --help # help for launch options

$ ./helm.py launch --missiles # set missiles=True and torpedos=False

$ ./helm.py steer --course 180 --speed 5# set movement parameters

PEP 391: 基于字典的日志配置¶

The logging module provided two kinds of configuration, one style with

function calls for each option or another style driven by an external file saved

in a ConfigParser format. Those options did not provide the flexibility

to create configurations from JSON or YAML files, nor did they support

incremental configuration, which is needed for specifying logger options from a

command line.

To support a more flexible style, the module now offers

logging.config.dictConfig() for specifying logging configuration with

plain Python dictionaries. The configuration options include formatters,

handlers, filters, and loggers. Here's a working example of a configuration

dictionary:

{"version":1,

"formatters":{"brief":{"format":"%(levelname)-8s: %(name)-15s: %(message)s"},

"full":{"format":"%(asctime)s%(name)-15s%(levelname)-8s%(message)s"}

},

"handlers":{"console":{

"class":"logging.StreamHandler",

"formatter":"brief",

"level":"INFO",

"stream":"ext://sys.stdout"},

"console_priority":{

"class":"logging.StreamHandler",

"formatter":"full",

"level":"ERROR",

"stream":"ext://sys.stderr"}

},

"root":{"level":"DEBUG","handlers":["console","console_priority"]}}

If that dictionary is stored in a file called conf.json, it can be

loaded and called with code like this:

>>> importjson,logging.config

>>> withopen('conf.json')asf:

... conf=json.load(f)

...

>>> logging.config.dictConfig(conf)

>>> logging.info("Transaction completed normally")

INFO : root : Transaction completed normally

>>> logging.critical("Abnormal termination")

PEP 3148: concurrent.futures 模块¶

Code for creating and managing concurrency is being collected in a new top-level

namespace, concurrent. Its first member is a futures package which provides

a uniform high-level interface for managing threads and processes.

The design for concurrent.futures was inspired by the

java.util.concurrent package. In that model, a running call and its result

are represented by a Future object that abstracts

features common to threads, processes, and remote procedure calls. That object

supports status checks (running or done), timeouts, cancellations, adding

callbacks, and access to results or exceptions.

The primary offering of the new module is a pair of executor classes for

launching and managing calls. The goal of the executors is to make it easier to

use existing tools for making parallel calls. They save the effort needed to

setup a pool of resources, launch the calls, create a results queue, add

time-out handling, and limit the total number of threads, processes, or remote

procedure calls.

Ideally, each application should share a single executor across multiple

components so that process and thread limits can be centrally managed. This

solves the design challenge that arises when each component has its own

competing strategy for resource management.

Both classes share a common interface with three methods:

submit() for scheduling a callable and

returning a Future object;

map() for scheduling many asynchronous calls

at a time, and shutdown() for freeing

resources. The class is a context manager and can be used in a

with statement to assure that resources are automatically released

when currently pending futures are done executing.

A simple of example of ThreadPoolExecutor is a

launch of four parallel threads for copying files:

importconcurrent.futures,shutil

withconcurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4)ase:

e.submit(shutil.copy,'src1.txt','dest1.txt')

e.submit(shutil.copy,'src2.txt','dest2.txt')

e.submit(shutil.copy,'src3.txt','dest3.txt')

e.submit(shutil.copy,'src3.txt','dest4.txt')

PEP 3147: PYC 仓库目录¶

Python's scheme for caching bytecode in .pyc files did not work well in

environments with multiple Python interpreters. If one interpreter encountered

a cached file created by another interpreter, it would recompile the source and

overwrite the cached file, thus losing the benefits of caching.

The issue of "pyc fights" has become more pronounced as it has become

commonplace for Linux distributions to ship with multiple versions of Python.

These conflicts also arise with CPython alternatives such as Unladen Swallow.

To solve this problem, Python's import machinery has been extended to use

distinct filenames for each interpreter. Instead of Python 3.2 and Python 3.3 and

Unladen Swallow each competing for a file called "mymodule.pyc", they will now

look for "mymodule.cpython-32.pyc", "mymodule.cpython-33.pyc", and

"mymodule.unladen10.pyc". And to prevent all of these new files from

cluttering source directories, the pyc files are now collected in a

"__pycache__" directory stored under the package directory.

Aside from the filenames and target directories, the new scheme has a few

aspects that are visible to the programmer:

  • Imported modules now have a __cached__ attribute which stores the name

    of the actual file that was imported:

    >>> importcollections

    >>> collections.__cached__

    'c:/py32/lib/__pycache__/collections.cpython-32.pyc'

  • The tag that is unique to each interpreter is accessible from the imp

    module:

    >>> importimp

    >>> imp.get_tag()

    'cpython-32'

  • Scripts that try to deduce source filename from the imported file now need to

    be smarter. It is no longer sufficient to simply strip the "c" from a ".pyc"

    filename. Instead, use the new functions in the imp module:

    >>> imp.source_from_cache('c:/py32/lib/__pycache__/collections.cpython-32.pyc')

    'c:/py32/lib/collections.py'

    >>> imp.cache_from_source('c:/py32/lib/collections.py')

    'c:/py32/lib/__pycache__/collections.cpython-32.pyc'

  • The py_compile and compileall modules have been updated to

    reflect the new naming convention and target directory. The command-line

    invocation of compileall has new options: -i for

    specifying a list of files and directories to compile and -b which causes

    bytecode files to be written to their legacy location rather than

    __pycache__.

  • The importlib.abc module has been updated with new abstract base

    classes for loading bytecode files. The obsolete

    ABCs, PyLoader and

    PyPycLoader, have been deprecated (instructions on how

    to stay Python 3.1 compatible are included with the documentation).

PEP 3149: ABI Version Tagged .so Files¶

The PYC repository directory allows multiple bytecode cache files to be

co-located. This PEP implements a similar mechanism for shared object files by

giving them a common directory and distinct names for each version.

The common directory is "pyshared" and the file names are made distinct by

identifying the Python implementation (such as CPython, PyPy, Jython, etc.), the

major and minor version numbers, and optional build flags (such as "d" for

debug, "m" for pymalloc, "u" for wide-unicode). For an arbitrary package "foo",

you may see these files when the distribution package is installed:

/usr/share/pyshared/foo.cpython-32m.so

/usr/share/pyshared/foo.cpython-33md.so

In Python itself, the tags are accessible from functions in the sysconfig

module:

>>> importsysconfig

>>> sysconfig.get_config_var('SOABI')# find the version tag

'cpython-32mu'

>>> sysconfig.get_config_var('EXT_SUFFIX')# find the full filename extension

'.cpython-32mu.so'

PEP 3333: Python Web服务器网关接口v1.0.1¶

This informational PEP clarifies how bytes/text issues are to be handled by the

WSGI protocol. The challenge is that string handling in Python 3 is most

conveniently handled with the str type even though the HTTP protocol

is itself bytes oriented.

The PEP differentiates so-called native strings that are used for

request/response headers and metadata versus byte strings which are used for

the bodies of requests and responses.

The native strings are always of type str but are restricted to code

points between U+0000 through U+00FF which are translatable to bytes using

Latin-1 encoding. These strings are used for the keys and values in the

environment dictionary and for response headers and statuses in the

start_response() function. They must follow RFC 2616 with respect to

encoding. That is, they must either be ISO-8859-1 characters or use

RFC 2047 MIME encoding.

For developers porting WSGI applications from Python 2, here are the salient

points:

  • If the app already used strings for headers in Python 2, no change is needed.

  • If instead, the app encoded output headers or decoded input headers, then the

    headers will need to be re-encoded to Latin-1. For example, an output header

    encoded in utf-8 was using h.encode('utf-8') now needs to convert from

    bytes to native strings using h.encode('utf-8').decode('latin-1').

  • Values yielded by an application or sent using the write() method

    must be byte strings. The start_response() function and environ

    must use native strings. The two cannot be mixed.

For server implementers writing CGI-to-WSGI pathways or other CGI-style

protocols, the users must to be able access the environment using native strings

even though the underlying platform may have a different convention. To bridge

this gap, the wsgiref module has a new function,

wsgiref.handlers.read_environ() for transcoding CGI variables from

os.environ into native strings and returning a new dictionary.

其他语言特性修改¶

对Python 语言核心进行的小改动:

  • String formatting for format() and str.format() gained new

    capabilities for the format character #. Previously, for integers in

    binary, octal, or hexadecimal, it caused the output to be prefixed with '0b',

    '0o', or '0x' respectively. Now it can also handle floats, complex, and

    Decimal, causing the output to always have a decimal point even when no digits

    follow it.

    >>> format(20,'#o')

    '0o24'

    >>> format(12.34,'#5.0f')

    ' 12.'

    (Suggested by Mark Dickinson and implemented by Eric Smith in bpo-7094.)

  • There is also a new str.format_map() method that extends the

    capabilities of the existing str.format() method by accepting arbitrary

    mapping objects. This new method makes it possible to use string

    formatting with any of Python's many dictionary-like objects such as

    defaultdict, Shelf,

    ConfigParser, or dbm. It is also useful with

    custom dict subclasses that normalize keys before look-up or that

    supply a __missing__() method for unknown keys:

    >>> importshelve

    >>> d=shelve.open('tmp.shl')

    >>> 'The {project_name} status is {status} as of {date}'.format_map(d)

    'The testing project status is green as of February 15, 2011'

    >>> classLowerCasedDict(dict):

    ... def__getitem__(self,key):

    ... returndict.__getitem__(self,key.lower())

    >>> lcd=LowerCasedDict(part='widgets',quantity=10)

    >>> 'There are {QUANTITY}{Part} in stock'.format_map(lcd)

    'There are 10 widgets in stock'

    >>> classPlaceholderDict(dict):

    ... def__missing__(self,key):

    ... return'<{}>'.format(key)

    >>> 'Hello {name}, welcome to {location}'.format_map(PlaceholderDict())

    'Hello <name>, welcome to <location>'

(Suggested by Raymond Hettinger and implemented by Eric Smith in

bpo-6081.)

  • The interpreter can now be started with a quiet option, -q, to prevent

    the copyright and version information from being displayed in the interactive

    mode. The option can be introspected using the sys.flags attribute:

    $ python -q

    >>> sys.flags

    sys.flags(debug=0, division_warning=0, inspect=0, interactive=0,

    optimize=0, dont_write_bytecode=0, no_user_site=0, no_site=0,

    ignore_environment=0, verbose=0, bytes_warning=0, quiet=1)

    (由 Marcin Wojdyr 在 bpo-1772833 中贡献。)

  • The hasattr() function works by calling getattr() and detecting

    whether an exception is raised. This technique allows it to detect methods

    created dynamically by __getattr__() or __getattribute__() which

    would otherwise be absent from the class dictionary. Formerly, hasattr

    would catch any exception, possibly masking genuine errors. Now, hasattr

    has been tightened to only catch AttributeError and let other

    exceptions pass through:

    >>> classA:

    ... @property

    ... deff(self):

    ... return1//0

    ...

    >>> a=A()

    >>> hasattr(a,'f')

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    ...

    ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero

    (Discovered by Yury Selivanov and fixed by Benjamin Peterson; bpo-9666.)

  • The str() of a float or complex number is now the same as its

    repr(). Previously, the str() form was shorter but that just

    caused confusion and is no longer needed now that the shortest possible

    repr() is displayed by default:

    >>> importmath

    >>> repr(math.pi)

    '3.141592653589793'

    >>> str(math.pi)

    '3.141592653589793'

    (Proposed and implemented by Mark Dickinson; bpo-9337.)

  • memoryview objects now have a release() method

    and they also now support the context management protocol. This allows timely

    release of any resources that were acquired when requesting a buffer from the

    original object.

    >>> withmemoryview(b'abcdefgh')asv:

    ... print(v.tolist())

    [97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104]

    (Added by Antoine Pitrou; bpo-9757.)

  • Previously it was illegal to delete a name from the local namespace if it

    occurs as a free variable in a nested block:

    defouter(x):

    definner():

    returnx

    inner()

    delx

    This is now allowed. Remember that the target of an except clause

    is cleared, so this code which used to work with Python 2.6, raised a

    SyntaxError with Python 3.1 and now works again:

    deff():

    defprint_error():

    print(e)

    try:

    something

    exceptExceptionase:

    print_error()

    # implicit "del e" here

    (See bpo-4617.)

  • The internal structsequence tool now creates subclasses of tuple.

    This means that C structures like those returned by os.stat(),

    time.gmtime(), and sys.version_info now work like a

    named tuple and now work with functions and methods that

    expect a tuple as an argument. This is a big step forward in making the C

    structures as flexible as their pure Python counterparts:

    >>> importsys

    >>> isinstance(sys.version_info,tuple)

    True

    >>> 'Version %d.%d.%d%s(%d)'%sys.version_info

    'Version 3.2.0 final(0)'

    (Suggested by Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis and implemented

    by Benjamin Peterson in bpo-8413.)

  • Warnings are now easier to control using the PYTHONWARNINGS

    environment variable as an alternative to using -W at the command line:

    $exportPYTHONWARNINGS='ignore::RuntimeWarning::,once::UnicodeWarning::'

    (Suggested by Barry Warsaw and implemented by Philip Jenvey in bpo-7301.)

  • A new warning category, ResourceWarning, has been added. It is

    emitted when potential issues with resource consumption or cleanup

    are detected. It is silenced by default in normal release builds but

    can be enabled through the means provided by the warnings

    module, or on the command line.

    A ResourceWarning is issued at interpreter shutdown if the

    gc.garbage list isn't empty, and if gc.DEBUG_UNCOLLECTABLE is

    set, all uncollectable objects are printed. This is meant to make the

    programmer aware that their code contains object finalization issues.

    A ResourceWarning is also issued when a file object is destroyed

    without having been explicitly closed. While the deallocator for such

    object ensures it closes the underlying operating system resource

    (usually, a file descriptor), the delay in deallocating the object could

    produce various issues, especially under Windows. Here is an example

    of enabling the warning from the command line:

    $ python -q -Wdefault

    >>> f= open("foo", "wb")

    >>> del f

    __main__:1: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.BufferedWriter name='foo'>

    (Added by Antoine Pitrou and Georg Brandl in bpo-10093 and bpo-477863.)

  • range objects now support index and count methods. This is part

    of an effort to make more objects fully implement the

    collections.Sequenceabstract base class. As a result, the

    language will have a more uniform API. In addition, range objects

    now support slicing and negative indices, even with values larger than

    sys.maxsize. This makes range more interoperable with lists:

    >>> range(0,100,2).count(10)

    1

    >>> range(0,100,2).index(10)

    5

    >>> range(0,100,2)[5]

    10

    >>> range(0,100,2)[0:5]

    range(0, 10, 2)

    (由 Daniel Stutzbach 在 bpo-9213 中贡献,由 Alexander Belopolsky 在 bpo-2690 中贡献,由 Nick Coghlan 在 bpo-10889 中贡献。)

  • The callable() builtin function from Py2.x was resurrected. It provides

    a concise, readable alternative to using an abstract base class in an

    expression like isinstance(x,collections.Callable):

    >>> callable(max)

    True

    >>> callable(20)

    False

    (见 bpo-10518 )

  • Python's import mechanism can now load modules installed in directories with

    non-ASCII characters in the path name. This solved an aggravating problem

    with home directories for users with non-ASCII characters in their usernames.

(Required extensive work by Victor Stinner in bpo-9425.)

新增,改进和弃用的模块¶

Python's standard library has undergone significant maintenance efforts and

quality improvements.

The biggest news for Python 3.2 is that the email package, mailbox

module, and nntplib modules now work correctly with the bytes/text model

in Python 3. For the first time, there is correct handling of messages with

mixed encodings.

Throughout the standard library, there has been more careful attention to

encodings and text versus bytes issues. In particular, interactions with the

operating system are now better able to exchange non-ASCII data using the

Windows MBCS encoding, locale-aware encodings, or UTF-8.

Another significant win is the addition of substantially better support for

SSL connections and security certificates.

In addition, more classes now implement a context manager to support

convenient and reliable resource clean-up using a with statement.

email¶

The usability of the email package in Python 3 has been mostly fixed by

the extensive efforts of R. David Murray. The problem was that emails are

typically read and stored in the form of bytes rather than str

text, and they may contain multiple encodings within a single email. So, the

email package had to be extended to parse and generate email messages in bytes

format.

  • New functions message_from_bytes() and

    message_from_binary_file(), and new classes

    BytesFeedParser and BytesParser

    allow binary message data to be parsed into model objects.

  • Given bytes input to the model, get_payload()

    will by default decode a message body that has a

    Content-Transfer-Encoding of 8bit using the charset

    specified in the MIME headers and return the resulting string.

  • Given bytes input to the model, Generator will

    convert message bodies that have a Content-Transfer-Encoding of

    8bit to instead have a 7bitContent-Transfer-Encoding.

    Headers with unencoded non-ASCII bytes are deemed to be RFC 2047-encoded

    using the unknown-8bit character set.

  • A new class BytesGenerator produces bytes as output,

    preserving any unchanged non-ASCII data that was present in the input used to

    build the model, including message bodies with a

    Content-Transfer-Encoding of 8bit.

  • The smtplibSMTP class now accepts a byte string

    for the msg argument to the sendmail() method,

    and a new method, send_message() accepts a

    Message object and can optionally obtain the

    from_addr and to_addrs addresses directly from the object.

(Proposed and implemented by R. David Murray, bpo-4661 and bpo-10321.)

elementtree¶

The xml.etree.ElementTree package and its xml.etree.cElementTree

counterpart have been updated to version 1.3.

Several new and useful functions and methods have been added:

  • xml.etree.ElementTree.fromstringlist() which builds an XML document

    from a sequence of fragments

  • xml.etree.ElementTree.register_namespace() for registering a global

    namespace prefix

  • xml.etree.ElementTree.tostringlist() for string representation

    including all sublists

  • xml.etree.ElementTree.Element.extend() for appending a sequence of zero

    or more elements

  • xml.etree.ElementTree.Element.iterfind() searches an element and

    subelements

  • xml.etree.ElementTree.Element.itertext() creates a text iterator over

    an element and its subelements

  • xml.etree.ElementTree.TreeBuilder.end() closes the current element

  • xml.etree.ElementTree.TreeBuilder.doctype() handles a doctype

    declaration

两个方法被弃用:

  • xml.etree.ElementTree.getchildren()list(elem) 替代。

  • xml.etree.ElementTree.getiterator()Element.iter 替代。

For details of the update, see Introducing ElementTree on Fredrik Lundh's website.

(由 Florent Xicluna 和 Fredrik Lundh 在 bpo-1772833 中贡献。)

functools¶

  • The functools module includes a new decorator for caching function

    calls. functools.lru_cache() can save repeated queries to an external

    resource whenever the results are expected to be the same.

    For example, adding a caching decorator to a database query function can save

    database accesses for popular searches:

    >>> importfunctools

    >>> @functools.lru_cache(maxsize=300)

    ... defget_phone_number(name):

    ... c=conn.cursor()

    ... c.execute('SELECT phonenumber FROM phonelist WHERE name=?',(name,))

    ... returnc.fetchone()[0]

    >>> fornameinuser_requests:

    ... get_phone_number(name)# cached lookup

    To help with choosing an effective cache size, the wrapped function is

    instrumented for tracking cache statistics:

    >>> get_phone_number.cache_info()

    CacheInfo(hits=4805, misses=980, maxsize=300, currsize=300)

    If the phonelist table gets updated, the outdated contents of the cache can be

    cleared with:

    >>> get_phone_number.cache_clear()

    (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger and incorporating design ideas from Jim

    Baker, Miki Tebeka, and Nick Coghlan; see recipe 498245, recipe 577479, bpo-10586, and

    bpo-10593.)

  • The functools.wraps() decorator now adds a __wrapped__ attribute

    pointing to the original callable function. This allows wrapped functions to

    be introspected. It also copies __annotations__ if defined. And now

    it also gracefully skips over missing attributes such as __doc__ which

    might not be defined for the wrapped callable.

    In the above example, the cache can be removed by recovering the original

    function:

    >>> get_phone_number=get_phone_number.__wrapped__# uncached function

    (By Nick Coghlan and Terrence Cole; bpo-9567, bpo-3445, and

    bpo-8814.)

  • To help write classes with rich comparison methods, a new decorator

    functools.total_ordering() will use existing equality and inequality

    methods to fill in the remaining methods.

    For example, supplying __eq__ and __lt__ will enable

    total_ordering() to fill-in __le__, __gt__ and __ge__:

    @total_ordering

    classStudent:

    def__eq__(self,other):

    return((self.lastname.lower(),self.firstname.lower())==

    (other.lastname.lower(),other.firstname.lower()))

    def__lt__(self,other):

    return((self.lastname.lower(),self.firstname.lower())<

    (other.lastname.lower(),other.firstname.lower()))

    With the total_ordering decorator, the remaining comparison methods

    are filled in automatically.

  • To aid in porting programs from Python 2, the functools.cmp_to_key()

    function converts an old-style comparison function to

    modern key function:

    >>> # locale-aware sort order

    >>> sorted(iterable,key=cmp_to_key(locale.strcoll))

    For sorting examples and a brief sorting tutorial, see the Sorting HowTo tutorial.

itertools¶

  • The itertools module has a new accumulate() function

    modeled on APL's scan operator and Numpy's accumulate function:

    >>> fromitertoolsimportaccumulate

    >>> list(accumulate([8,2,50]))

    [8, 10, 60]

    >>> prob_dist=[0.1,0.4,0.2,0.3]

    >>> list(accumulate(prob_dist))# cumulative probability distribution

    [0.1, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0]

    For an example using accumulate(), see the examples for

    the random module.

    (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger and incorporating design suggestions

    from Mark Dickinson.)

collections¶

  • The collections.Counter class now has two forms of in-place

    subtraction, the existing -= operator for saturating subtraction and the new

    subtract() method for regular subtraction. The

    former is suitable for multisets

    which only have positive counts, and the latter is more suitable for use cases

    that allow negative counts:

    >>> fromcollectionsimportCounter

    >>> tally=Counter(dogs=5,cats=3)

    >>> tally-=Counter(dogs=2,cats=8)# saturating subtraction

    >>> tally

    Counter({'dogs': 3})

    >>> tally=Counter(dogs=5,cats=3)

    >>> tally.subtract(dogs=2,cats=8)# regular subtraction

    >>> tally

    Counter({'dogs': 3, 'cats': -5})

    (由 Raymond Hettinger 贡献。)

  • The collections.OrderedDict class has a new method

    move_to_end() which takes an existing key and

    moves it to either the first or last position in the ordered sequence.

    The default is to move an item to the last position. This is equivalent of

    renewing an entry with od[k]=od.pop(k).

    A fast move-to-end operation is useful for resequencing entries. For example,

    an ordered dictionary can be used to track order of access by aging entries

    from the oldest to the most recently accessed.

    >>> fromcollectionsimportOrderedDict

    >>> d=OrderedDict.fromkeys(['a','b','X','d','e'])

    >>> list(d)

    ['a', 'b', 'X', 'd', 'e']

    >>> d.move_to_end('X')

    >>> list(d)

    ['a', 'b', 'd', 'e', 'X']

    (由 Raymond Hettinger 贡献。)

  • The collections.deque class grew two new methods

    count() and reverse() that

    make them more substitutable for list objects:

    >>> fromcollectionsimportdeque

    >>> d=deque('simsalabim')

    >>> d.count('s')

    2

    >>> d.reverse()

    >>> d

    deque(['m', 'i', 'b', 'a', 'l', 'a', 's', 'm', 'i', 's'])

    (由 Raymond Hettinger 贡献。)

threading¶

The threading module has a new Barrier

synchronization class for making multiple threads wait until all of them have

reached a common barrier point. Barriers are useful for making sure that a task

with multiple preconditions does not run until all of the predecessor tasks are

complete.

Barriers can work with an arbitrary number of threads. This is a generalization

of a Rendezvous which

is defined for only two threads.

Implemented as a two-phase cyclic barrier, Barrier objects

are suitable for use in loops. The separate filling and draining phases

assure that all threads get released (drained) before any one of them can loop

back and re-enter the barrier. The barrier fully resets after each cycle.

Example of using barriers:

fromthreadingimportBarrier,Thread

defget_votes(site):

ballots=conduct_election(site)

all_polls_closed.wait()# do not count until all polls are closed

totals=summarize(ballots)

publish(site,totals)

all_polls_closed=Barrier(len(sites))

forsiteinsites:

Thread(target=get_votes,args=(site,)).start()

In this example, the barrier enforces a rule that votes cannot be counted at any

polling site until all polls are closed. Notice how a solution with a barrier

is similar to one with threading.Thread.join(), but the threads stay alive

and continue to do work (summarizing ballots) after the barrier point is

crossed.

If any of the predecessor tasks can hang or be delayed, a barrier can be created

with an optional timeout parameter. Then if the timeout period elapses before

all the predecessor tasks reach the barrier point, all waiting threads are

released and a BrokenBarrierError exception is raised:

defget_votes(site):

ballots=conduct_election(site)

try:

all_polls_closed.wait(timeout=midnight-time.now())

exceptBrokenBarrierError:

lockbox=seal_ballots(ballots)

queue.put(lockbox)

else:

totals=summarize(ballots)

publish(site,totals)

In this example, the barrier enforces a more robust rule. If some election

sites do not finish before midnight, the barrier times-out and the ballots are

sealed and deposited in a queue for later handling.

See Barrier Synchronization Patterns

for more examples of how barriers can be used in parallel computing. Also, there is

a simple but thorough explanation of barriers in The Little Book of Semaphores, section 3.6.

bpo-8777.)

datetime 和 time¶

  • The datetime module has a new type timezone that

    implements the tzinfo interface by returning a fixed UTC

    offset and timezone name. This makes it easier to create timezone-aware

    datetime objects:

    >>> fromdatetimeimportdatetime,timezone

    >>> datetime.now(timezone.utc)

    datetime.datetime(2010, 12, 8, 21, 4, 2, 923754, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)

    >>> datetime.strptime("01/01/2000 12:00 +0000","%m/%d/%Y %H:%M %z")

    datetime.datetime(2000, 1, 1, 12, 0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)

  • Also, timedelta objects can now be multiplied by

    float and divided by float and int objects.

    And timedelta objects can now divide one another.

  • The datetime.date.strftime() method is no longer restricted to years

    after 1900. The new supported year range is from 1000 to 9999 inclusive.

  • Whenever a two-digit year is used in a time tuple, the interpretation has been

    governed by time.accept2dyear. The default is True which means that

    for a two-digit year, the century is guessed according to the POSIX rules

    governing the %y strptime format.

    Starting with Py3.2, use of the century guessing heuristic will emit a

    DeprecationWarning. Instead, it is recommended that

    time.accept2dyear be set to False so that large date ranges

    can be used without guesswork:

    >>> importtime,warnings

    >>> warnings.resetwarnings()# remove the default warning filters

    >>> time.accept2dyear=True# guess whether 11 means 11 or 2011

    >>> time.asctime((11,1,1,12,34,56,4,1,0))

    Warning (from warnings module):

    ...

    DeprecationWarning: Century info guessed for a 2-digit year.

    'Fri Jan 1 12:34:56 2011'

    >>> time.accept2dyear=False# use the full range of allowable dates

    >>> time.asctime((11,1,1,12,34,56,4,1,0))

    'Fri Jan 1 12:34:56 11'

    Several functions now have significantly expanded date ranges. When

    time.accept2dyear is false, the time.asctime() function will

    accept any year that fits in a C int, while the time.mktime() and

    time.strftime() functions will accept the full range supported by the

    corresponding operating system functions.

and bpo-10827.)

math¶

The math module has been updated with six new functions inspired by the

C99 standard.

The isfinite() function provides a reliable and fast way to detect

special values. It returns True for regular numbers and False for Nan or

Infinity:

>>> frommathimportisfinite

>>> [isfinite(x)forxin(123,4.56,float('Nan'),float('Inf'))]

[True, True, False, False]

The expm1() function computes e**x-1 for small values of x

without incurring the loss of precision that usually accompanies the subtraction

of nearly equal quantities:

>>> frommathimportexpm1

>>> expm1(0.013671875)# more accurate way to compute e**x-1 for a small x

0.013765762467652909

The erf() function computes a probability integral or Gaussian

error function. The

complementary error function, erfc(), is 1-erf(x):

>>> frommathimporterf,erfc,sqrt

>>> erf(1.0/sqrt(2.0))# portion of normal distribution within 1 standard deviation

0.682689492137086

>>> erfc(1.0/sqrt(2.0))# portion of normal distribution outside 1 standard deviation

0.31731050786291404

>>> erf(1.0/sqrt(2.0))+erfc(1.0/sqrt(2.0))

1.0

The gamma() function is a continuous extension of the factorial

function. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_function for details. Because

the function is related to factorials, it grows large even for small values of

x, so there is also a lgamma() function for computing the natural

logarithm of the gamma function:

>>> frommathimportgamma,lgamma

>>> gamma(7.0)# six factorial

720.0

>>> lgamma(801.0)# log(800 factorial)

4551.950730698041

abc¶

The abc module now supports abstractclassmethod() and

abstractstaticmethod().

These tools make it possible to define an abstract base class that

requires a particular classmethod() or staticmethod() to be

implemented:

classTemperature(metaclass=abc.ABCMeta):

@abc.abstractclassmethod

deffrom_fahrenheit(cls,t):

...

@abc.abstractclassmethod

deffrom_celsius(cls,t):

...

(Patch submitted by Daniel Urban; bpo-5867.)

io¶

The io.BytesIO has a new method, getbuffer(), which

provides functionality similar to memoryview(). It creates an editable

view of the data without making a copy. The buffer's random access and support

for slice notation are well-suited to in-place editing:

>>> REC_LEN,LOC_START,LOC_LEN=34,7,11

>>> defchange_location(buffer,record_number,location):

... start=record_number*REC_LEN+LOC_START

... buffer[start:start+LOC_LEN]=location

>>> importio

>>> byte_stream=io.BytesIO(

... b'G3805 storeroom Main chassis '

... b'X7899 shipping Reserve cog '

... b'L6988 receiving Primary sprocket'

... )

>>> buffer=byte_stream.getbuffer()

>>> change_location(buffer,1,b'warehouse ')

>>> change_location(buffer,0,b'showroom ')

>>> print(byte_stream.getvalue())

b'G3805 showroom Main chassis '

b'X7899 warehouse Reserve cog '

b'L6988 receiving Primary sprocket'

reprlib¶

When writing a __repr__() method for a custom container, it is easy to

forget to handle the case where a member refers back to the container itself.

Python's builtin objects such as list and set handle

self-reference by displaying "..." in the recursive part of the representation

string.

To help write such __repr__() methods, the reprlib module has a new

decorator, recursive_repr(), for detecting recursive calls to

__repr__() and substituting a placeholder string instead:

>>> classMyList(list):

... @recursive_repr()

... def__repr__(self):

... return'<'+'|'.join(map(repr,self))+'>'

...

>>> m=MyList('abc')

>>> m.append(m)

>>> m.append('x')

>>> print(m)

<'a'|'b'|'c'|...|'x'>

logging¶

In addition to dictionary-based configuration described above, the

logging package has many other improvements.

The logging documentation has been augmented by a basic tutorial, an advanced tutorial, and a cookbook of

logging recipes. These documents are the fastest way to learn about logging.

The logging.basicConfig() set-up function gained a style argument to

support three different types of string formatting. It defaults to "%" for

traditional %-formatting, can be set to "{" for the new str.format() style, or

can be set to "$" for the shell-style formatting provided by

string.Template. The following three configurations are equivalent:

>>> fromloggingimportbasicConfig

>>> basicConfig(style='%',format="%(name)s -> %(levelname)s: %(message)s")

>>> basicConfig(style='{',format="{name} -> {levelname}{message}")

>>> basicConfig(style='$',format="$name -> $levelname: $message")

If no configuration is set-up before a logging event occurs, there is now a

default configuration using a StreamHandler directed to

sys.stderr for events of WARNING level or higher. Formerly, an

event occurring before a configuration was set-up would either raise an

exception or silently drop the event depending on the value of

logging.raiseExceptions. The new default handler is stored in

logging.lastResort.

The use of filters has been simplified. Instead of creating a

Filter object, the predicate can be any Python callable that

returns True or False.

There were a number of other improvements that add flexibility and simplify

configuration. See the module documentation for a full listing of changes in

Python 3.2.

csv¶

The csv module now supports a new dialect, unix_dialect,

which applies quoting for all fields and a traditional Unix style with '\n' as

the line terminator. The registered dialect name is unix.

The csv.DictWriter has a new method,

writeheader() for writing-out an initial row to document

the field names:

>>> importcsv,sys

>>> w=csv.DictWriter(sys.stdout,['name','dept'],dialect='unix')

>>> w.writeheader()

"name","dept"

>>> w.writerows([

... {'name':'tom','dept':'accounting'},

... {'name':'susan','dept':'Salesl'}])

"tom","accounting"

"susan","sales"

(New dialect suggested by Jay Talbot in bpo-5975, and the new method

suggested by Ed Abraham in bpo-1537721.)

contextlib¶

There is a new and slightly mind-blowing tool

ContextDecorator that is helpful for creating a

context manager that does double duty as a function decorator.

As a convenience, this new functionality is used by

contextmanager() so that no extra effort is needed to support

both roles.

The basic idea is that both context managers and function decorators can be used

for pre-action and post-action wrappers. Context managers wrap a group of

statements using a with statement, and function decorators wrap a

group of statements enclosed in a function. So, occasionally there is a need to

write a pre-action or post-action wrapper that can be used in either role.

For example, it is sometimes useful to wrap functions or groups of statements

with a logger that can track the time of entry and time of exit. Rather than

writing both a function decorator and a context manager for the task, the

contextmanager() provides both capabilities in a single

definition:

fromcontextlibimportcontextmanager

importlogging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

@contextmanager

deftrack_entry_and_exit(name):

logging.info('Entering: %s',name)

yield

logging.info('Exiting: %s',name)

Formerly, this would have only been usable as a context manager:

withtrack_entry_and_exit('widget loader'):

print('Some time consuming activity goes here')

load_widget()

Now, it can be used as a decorator as well:

@track_entry_and_exit('widget loader')

defactivity():

print('Some time consuming activity goes here')

load_widget()

Trying to fulfill two roles at once places some limitations on the technique.

Context managers normally have the flexibility to return an argument usable by

a with statement, but there is no parallel for function decorators.

In the above example, there is not a clean way for the track_entry_and_exit

context manager to return a logging instance for use in the body of enclosed

statements.

decimal and fractions¶

Mark Dickinson crafted an elegant and efficient scheme for assuring that

different numeric datatypes will have the same hash value whenever their actual

values are equal (bpo-8188):

asserthash(Fraction(3,2))==hash(1.5)== \

hash(Decimal("1.5"))==hash(complex(1.5,0))

Some of the hashing details are exposed through a new attribute,

sys.hash_info, which describes the bit width of the hash value, the

prime modulus, the hash values for infinity and nan, and the multiplier

used for the imaginary part of a number:

>>> sys.hash_info

sys.hash_info(width=64, modulus=2305843009213693951, inf=314159, nan=0, imag=1000003)

An early decision to limit the inter-operability of various numeric types has

been relaxed. It is still unsupported (and ill-advised) to have implicit

mixing in arithmetic expressions such as Decimal('1.1')+float('1.1')

because the latter loses information in the process of constructing the binary

float. However, since existing floating point value can be converted losslessly

to either a decimal or rational representation, it makes sense to add them to

the constructor and to support mixed-type comparisons.

  • The decimal.Decimal constructor now accepts float objects

    directly so there in no longer a need to use the from_float()

    method (bpo-8257).

  • Mixed type comparisons are now fully supported so that

    Decimal objects can be directly compared with float

    and fractions.Fraction (bpo-2531 and bpo-8188).

Similar changes were made to fractions.Fraction so that the

from_float() and from_decimal()

methods are no longer needed (bpo-8294):

>>> fromdecimalimportDecimal

>>> fromfractionsimportFraction

>>> Decimal(1.1)

Decimal('1.100000000000000088817841970012523233890533447265625')

>>> Fraction(1.1)

Fraction(2476979795053773, 2251799813685248)

Another useful change for the decimal module is that the

Context.clamp attribute is now public. This is useful in creating

contexts that correspond to the decimal interchange formats specified in IEEE

754 (see bpo-8540).

ftp¶

The ftplib.FTP class now supports the context management protocol to

unconditionally consume socket.error exceptions and to close the FTP

connection when done:

>>> fromftplibimportFTP

>>> withFTP("ftp1.at.proftpd.org")asftp:

ftp.login()

ftp.dir()

'230 Anonymous login ok, restrictions apply.'

dr-xr-xr-x 9 ftp ftp 154 May 6 10:43 .

dr-xr-xr-x 5 ftp ftp 4096 May 6 10:43 CentOS

dr-xr-xr-x 3 ftp ftp 18 Jul 10 2008 Fedora

Other file-like objects such as mmap.mmap and fileinput.input()

also grew auto-closing context managers:

withfileinput.input(files=('log1.txt','log2.txt'))asf:

forlineinf:

process(line)

(由 Tarek Ziadé 和 Giampaolo Rodolà 在 bpo-4972`贡献,由 Georg Brandl 在 :issue:`8046 和 bpo-1286 贡献。)

The FTP_TLS class now accepts a context parameter, which is a

ssl.SSLContext object allowing bundling SSL configuration options,

certificates and private keys into a single (potentially long-lived) structure.

popen¶

The os.popen() and subprocess.Popen() functions now support

with statements for auto-closing of the file descriptors.

(由 Antoine Pitrou 和 Brian Curtin 在 bpo-7461 和 bpo-10554 中贡献。)

select¶

The select module now exposes a new, constant attribute,

PIPE_BUF, which gives the minimum number of bytes which are

guaranteed not to block when select.select() says a pipe is ready

for writing.

>>> importselect

>>> select.PIPE_BUF

512

(Available on Unix systems. Patch by Sébastien Sablé in bpo-9862)

gzip 和 zipfile¶

gzip.GzipFile now implements the io.BufferedIOBase

abstract base class (except for truncate()). It also has a

peek() method and supports unseekable as well as

zero-padded file objects.

The gzip module also gains the compress() and

decompress() functions for easier in-memory compression and

decompression. Keep in mind that text needs to be encoded as bytes

before compressing and decompressing:

>>> importgzip

>>> s='Three shall be the number thou shalt count, '

>>> s+='and the number of the counting shall be three'

>>> b=s.encode()# convert to utf-8

>>> len(b)

89

>>> c=gzip.compress(b)

>>> len(c)

77

>>> gzip.decompress(c).decode()[:42]# decompress and convert to text

'Three shall be the number thou shalt count'

Also, the zipfile.ZipExtFile class was reworked internally to represent

files stored inside an archive. The new implementation is significantly faster

and can be wrapped in an io.BufferedReader object for more speedups. It

also solves an issue where interleaved calls to read and readline gave the

wrong results.

(Patch submitted by Nir Aides in bpo-7610.)

tarfile¶

The TarFile class can now be used as a context manager. In

addition, its add() method has a new option, filter,

that controls which files are added to the archive and allows the file metadata

to be edited.

The new filter option replaces the older, less flexible exclude parameter

which is now deprecated. If specified, the optional filter parameter needs to

be a keyword argument. The user-supplied filter function accepts a

TarInfo object and returns an updated

TarInfo object, or if it wants the file to be excluded, the

function can return None:

>>> importtarfile,glob

>>> defmyfilter(tarinfo):

... iftarinfo.isfile():# only save real files

... tarinfo.uname='monty'# redact the user name

... returntarinfo

>>> withtarfile.open(name='myarchive.tar.gz',mode='w:gz')astf:

... forfilenameinglob.glob('*.txt'):

... tf.add(filename,filter=myfilter)

hashlib¶

The hashlib module has two new constant attributes listing the hashing

algorithms guaranteed to be present in all implementations and those available

on the current implementation:

>>> importhashlib

>>> hashlib.algorithms_guaranteed

{'sha1', 'sha224', 'sha384', 'sha256', 'sha512', 'md5'}

>>> hashlib.algorithms_available

{'md2', 'SHA256', 'SHA512', 'dsaWithSHA', 'mdc2', 'SHA224', 'MD4', 'sha256',

'ecdsa-with-SHA1','md4', 'md5', 'sha1', 'DSA-SHA', 'sha224',

'dsaEncryption', 'DSA', 'RIPEMD160', 'sha', 'MD5', 'sha384'}

(由 Carl Chenet 在 bpo-7418 中建议。)

ast¶

The ast module has a wonderful a general-purpose tool for safely

evaluating expression strings using the Python literal

syntax. The ast.literal_eval() function serves as a secure alternative to

the builtin eval() function which is easily abused. Python 3.2 adds

bytes and set literals to the list of supported types:

strings, bytes, numbers, tuples, lists, dicts, sets, booleans, and None.

>>> fromastimportliteral_eval

>>> request="{'req': 3, 'func': 'pow', 'args': (2, 0.5)}"

>>> literal_eval(request)

{'args': (2, 0.5), 'req': 3, 'func': 'pow'}

>>> request="os.system('do something harmful')"

>>> literal_eval(request)

Traceback (most recent call last):

...

ValueError: malformed node or string: <_ast.Call object at 0x101739a10>

(由Benjamin Peterson 和 Georg Brandl 实现。)

os¶

Different operating systems use various encodings for filenames and environment

variables. The os module provides two new functions,

fsencode() and fsdecode(), for encoding and decoding

filenames:

>>> importos

>>> filename='Sehenswürdigkeiten'

>>> os.fsencode(filename)

b'Sehensw\xc3\xbcrdigkeiten'

Some operating systems allow direct access to encoded bytes in the

environment. If so, the os.supports_bytes_environ constant will be

true.

For direct access to encoded environment variables (if available),

use the new os.getenvb() function or use os.environb

which is a bytes version of os.environ.

shutil¶

The shutil.copytree() function has two new options:

  • ignore_dangling_symlinks: when symlinks=False so that the function

    copies a file pointed to by a symlink, not the symlink itself. This option

    will silence the error raised if the file doesn't exist.

  • copy_function: is a callable that will be used to copy files.

    shutil.copy2() is used by default.

(由 Tarek Ziadé 贡献。)

In addition, the shutil module now supports archiving operations for zipfiles, uncompressed tarfiles, gzipped tarfiles,

and bzipped tarfiles. And there are functions for registering additional

archiving file formats (such as xz compressed tarfiles or custom formats).

The principal functions are make_archive() and

unpack_archive(). By default, both operate on the current

directory (which can be set by os.chdir()) and on any sub-directories.

The archive filename needs to be specified with a full pathname. The archiving

step is non-destructive (the original files are left unchanged).

>>> importshutil,pprint

>>> os.chdir('mydata')# change to the source directory

>>> f=shutil.make_archive('/var/backup/mydata',

... 'zip')# archive the current directory

>>> f# show the name of archive

'/var/backup/mydata.zip'

>>> os.chdir('tmp')# change to an unpacking

>>> shutil.unpack_archive('/var/backup/mydata.zip')# recover the data

>>> pprint.pprint(shutil.get_archive_formats())# display known formats

sqlite3¶

The sqlite3 module was updated to pysqlite version 2.6.0. It has two new capabilities.

  • The sqlite3.Connection.in_transit attribute is true if there is an

    active transaction for uncommitted changes.

  • The sqlite3.Connection.enable_load_extension() and

    sqlite3.Connection.load_extension() methods allows you to load SQLite

    extensions from ".so" files. One well-known extension is the fulltext-search

    extension distributed with SQLite.

html¶

A new html module was introduced with only a single function,

escape(), which is used for escaping reserved characters from HTML

markup:

>>> importhtml

>>> html.escape('x > 2 && x < 7')

'x &gt; 2 &amp;&amp; x &lt; 7'

socket¶

The socket module has two new improvements.

  • Socket objects now have a detach() method which puts

    the socket into closed state without actually closing the underlying file

    descriptor. The latter can then be reused for other purposes.

    (Added by Antoine Pitrou; bpo-8524.)

  • socket.create_connection() now supports the context management protocol

    to unconditionally consume socket.error exceptions and to close the

    socket when done.

    (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodolà; bpo-9794.)

ssl¶

The ssl module added a number of features to satisfy common requirements

for secure (encrypted, authenticated) internet connections:

  • A new class, SSLContext, serves as a container for persistent

    SSL data, such as protocol settings, certificates, private keys, and various

    other options. It includes a wrap_socket() for creating

    an SSL socket from an SSL context.

  • A new function, ssl.match_hostname(), supports server identity

    verification for higher-level protocols by implementing the rules of HTTPS

    (from RFC 2818) which are also suitable for other protocols.

  • The ssl.wrap_socket() constructor function now takes a ciphers

    argument. The ciphers string lists the allowed encryption algorithms using

    the format described in the OpenSSL documentation.

  • When linked against recent versions of OpenSSL, the ssl module now

    supports the Server Name Indication extension to the TLS protocol, allowing

    multiple "virtual hosts" using different certificates on a single IP port.

    This extension is only supported in client mode, and is activated by passing

    the server_hostname argument to ssl.SSLContext.wrap_socket().

  • Various options have been added to the ssl module, such as

    OP_NO_SSLv2 which disables the insecure and obsolete SSLv2

    protocol.

  • The extension now loads all the OpenSSL ciphers and digest algorithms. If

    some SSL certificates cannot be verified, they are reported as an "unknown

    algorithm" error.

  • The version of OpenSSL being used is now accessible using the module

    attributes ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION (a string),

    ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION_INFO (a 5-tuple), and

    ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER (an integer).

nntp¶

The nntplib module has a revamped implementation with better bytes and

text semantics as well as more practical APIs. These improvements break

compatibility with the nntplib version in Python 3.1, which was partly

dysfunctional in itself.

Support for secure connections through both implicit (using

nntplib.NNTP_SSL) and explicit (using nntplib.NNTP.starttls())

TLS has also been added.

(由 Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-9360 中贡献,由 Andrew Vant 在 bpo-1926 中贡献。)

certificates¶

http.client.HTTPSConnection, urllib.request.HTTPSHandler

and urllib.request.urlopen() now take optional arguments to allow for

server certificate checking against a set of Certificate Authorities,

as recommended in public uses of HTTPS.

(Added by Antoine Pitrou, bpo-9003.)

imaplib¶

Support for explicit TLS on standard IMAP4 connections has been added through

the new imaplib.IMAP4.starttls method.

(由 Lorenzo M. Catucci 和 Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-4471 中贡献。)

http.client¶

There were a number of small API improvements in the http.client module.

The old-style HTTP 0.9 simple responses are no longer supported and the strict

parameter is deprecated in all classes.

The HTTPConnection and

HTTPSConnection classes now have a source_address

parameter for a (host, port) tuple indicating where the HTTP connection is made

from.

Support for certificate checking and HTTPS virtual hosts were added to

HTTPSConnection.

The request() method on connection objects

allowed an optional body argument so that a file object could be used

to supply the content of the request. Conveniently, the body argument now

also accepts an iterable object so long as it includes an explicit

Content-Length header. This extended interface is much more flexible than

before.

To establish an HTTPS connection through a proxy server, there is a new

set_tunnel() method that sets the host and

port for HTTP Connect tunneling.

To match the behavior of http.server, the HTTP client library now also

encodes headers with ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) encoding. It was already doing that

for incoming headers, so now the behavior is consistent for both incoming and

outgoing traffic. (See work by Armin Ronacher in bpo-10980.)

unittest¶

The unittest module has a number of improvements supporting test discovery for

packages, easier experimentation at the interactive prompt, new testcase

methods, improved diagnostic messages for test failures, and better method

names.

  • The command-line call python-munittest can now accept file paths

    instead of module names for running specific tests (bpo-10620). The new

    test discovery can find tests within packages, locating any test importable

    from the top-level directory. The top-level directory can be specified with

    the -t option, a pattern for matching files with -p, and a directory to

    start discovery with -s:

    $ python -m unittest discover -s my_proj_dir -p _test.py

    (由 Michael Foord 贡献)

  • Experimentation at the interactive prompt is now easier because the

    unittest.case.TestCase class can now be instantiated without

    arguments:

    >>> fromunittestimportTestCase

    >>> TestCase().assertEqual(pow(2,3),8)

    (由 Michael Foord 贡献)

  • The unittest module has two new methods,

    assertWarns() and

    assertWarnsRegex() to verify that a given warning type

    is triggered by the code under test:

    withself.assertWarns(DeprecationWarning):

    legacy_function('XYZ')

    (由 Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-9754 中贡献。)

    Another new method, assertCountEqual() is used to

    compare two iterables to determine if their element counts are equal (whether

    the same elements are present with the same number of occurrences regardless

    of order):

    deftest_anagram(self):

    self.assertCountEqual('algorithm','logarithm')

    (由 Raymond Hettinger 贡献。)

  • A principal feature of the unittest module is an effort to produce meaningful

    diagnostics when a test fails. When possible, the failure is recorded along

    with a diff of the output. This is especially helpful for analyzing log files

    of failed test runs. However, since diffs can sometime be voluminous, there is

    a new maxDiff attribute that sets maximum length of

    diffs displayed.

  • In addition, the method names in the module have undergone a number of clean-ups.

    For example, assertRegex() is the new name for

    assertRegexpMatches() which was misnamed because the

    test uses re.search(), not re.match(). Other methods using

    regular expressions are now named using short form "Regex" in preference to

    "Regexp" -- this matches the names used in other unittest implementations,

    matches Python's old name for the re module, and it has unambiguous

    camel-casing.

    (由 Raymond Hettinger 贡献并由 Ezio Melotti 实现。)

  • To improve consistency, some long-standing method aliases are being

    deprecated in favor of the preferred names:

    旧名称

    首选名称

    assert_()

    assertTrue()

    assertEquals()

    assertEqual()

    assertNotEquals()

    assertNotEqual()

    assertAlmostEquals()

    assertAlmostEqual()

    assertNotAlmostEquals()

    assertNotAlmostEqual()

    Likewise, the TestCase.fail* methods deprecated in Python 3.1 are expected

    to be removed in Python 3.3. Also see the Deprecated aliases section in

    the unittest documentation.

    (由 Ezio Melotti 在 bpo-9424 中贡献。)

  • The assertDictContainsSubset() method was deprecated

    because it was misimplemented with the arguments in the wrong order. This

    created hard-to-debug optical illusions where tests like

    TestCase().assertDictContainsSubset({'a':1,'b':2},{'a':1}) would fail.

    (由 Raymond Hettinger 贡献。)

random¶

The integer methods in the random module now do a better job of producing

uniform distributions. Previously, they computed selections with

int(n*random()) which had a slight bias whenever n was not a power of two.

Now, multiple selections are made from a range up to the next power of two and a

selection is kept only when it falls within the range 0<=x<n. The

functions and methods affected are randrange(),

randint(), choice(), shuffle() and

sample().

(由 Raymond Hettinger 在 bpo-9025 中贡献。)

poplib¶

POP3_SSL class now accepts a context parameter, which is a

ssl.SSLContext object allowing bundling SSL configuration options,

certificates and private keys into a single (potentially long-lived)

structure.

(由 Giampaolo Rodolà 在 bpo-8807 中贡献。)

asyncore¶

asyncore.dispatcher now provides a

handle_accepted() method

returning a (sock, addr) pair which is called when a connection has actually

been established with a new remote endpoint. This is supposed to be used as a

replacement for old handle_accept() and avoids

the user to call accept() directly.

(由 Giampaolo Rodolà 在 bpo-6706 中贡献。)

tempfile¶

The tempfile module has a new context manager,

TemporaryDirectory which provides easy deterministic

cleanup of temporary directories:

withtempfile.TemporaryDirectory()astmpdirname:

print('created temporary dir:',tmpdirname)

由 Neil Schemenauer 和 Nick Coghlan 在 bpo-13062 中贡献。

inspect¶

  • The inspect module has a new function

    getgeneratorstate() to easily identify the current state of a

    generator-iterator:

    >>> frominspectimportgetgeneratorstate

    >>> defgen():

    ... yield'demo'

    >>> g=gen()

    >>> getgeneratorstate(g)

    'GEN_CREATED'

    >>> next(g)

    'demo'

    >>> getgeneratorstate(g)

    'GEN_SUSPENDED'

    >>> next(g,None)

    >>> getgeneratorstate(g)

    'GEN_CLOSED'

    由 Rodolpho Eckhardt 和 Nick Coghlan 在 bpo-10220 中贡献。

  • To support lookups without the possibility of activating a dynamic attribute,

    the inspect module has a new function, getattr_static().

    Unlike hasattr(), this is a true read-only search, guaranteed not to

    change state while it is searching:

    >>> classA:

    ... @property

    ... deff(self):

    ... print('Running')

    ... return10

    ...

    >>> a=A()

    >>> getattr(a,'f')

    Running

    10

    >>> inspect.getattr_static(a,'f')

    <property object at 0x1022bd788>

(由 Michael Foord 贡献)

pydoc¶

The pydoc module now provides a much-improved Web server interface, as

well as a new command-line option -b to automatically open a browser window

to display that server:

$ pydoc3.2 -b

(由 Ron Adam 在 bpo-2001 中贡献。)

dis¶

The dis module gained two new functions for inspecting code,

code_info() and show_code(). Both provide detailed code

object information for the supplied function, method, source code string or code

object. The former returns a string and the latter prints it:

>>> importdis,random

>>> dis.show_code(random.choice)

Name: choice

Filename: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/python3.2/random.py

Argument count: 2

Kw-only arguments: 0

Number of locals: 3

Stack size: 11

Flags: OPTIMIZED, NEWLOCALS, NOFREE

Constants:

0: 'Choose a random element from a non-empty sequence.'

1: 'Cannot choose from an empty sequence'

Names:

0: _randbelow

1: len

2: ValueError

3: IndexError

Variable names:

0: self

1: seq

2: i

In addition, the dis() function now accepts string arguments

so that the common idiom dis(compile(s,'','eval')) can be shortened

to dis(s):

>>> dis('3*x+1 if x%2==1 else x//2')

1 0 LOAD_NAME 0 (x)

3 LOAD_CONST 0 (2)

6 BINARY_MODULO

7 LOAD_CONST 1 (1)

10 COMPARE_OP 2 (==)

13 POP_JUMP_IF_FALSE 28

16 LOAD_CONST 2 (3)

19 LOAD_NAME 0 (x)

22 BINARY_MULTIPLY

23 LOAD_CONST 1 (1)

26 BINARY_ADD

27 RETURN_VALUE

>> 28 LOAD_NAME 0 (x)

31 LOAD_CONST 0 (2)

34 BINARY_FLOOR_DIVIDE

35 RETURN_VALUE

Taken together, these improvements make it easier to explore how CPython is

implemented and to see for yourself what the language syntax does

under-the-hood.

dbm¶

All database modules now support the get() and setdefault() methods.

(由 Ray Allen 在 bpo-9523 中建议。)

ctypes¶

A new type, ctypes.c_ssize_t represents the C ssize_t datatype.

site¶

The site module has three new functions useful for reporting on the

details of a given Python installation.

  • getsitepackages() lists all global site-packages directories.

  • getuserbase() reports on the user's base directory where data can

    be stored.

  • getusersitepackages() reveals the user-specific site-packages

    directory path.

>>> importsite

>>> site.getsitepackages()

['/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/python3.2/site-packages',

'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/site-python',

'/Library/Python/3.2/site-packages']

>>> site.getuserbase()

'/Users/raymondhettinger/Library/Python/3.2'

>>> site.getusersitepackages()

'/Users/raymondhettinger/Library/Python/3.2/lib/python/site-packages'

Conveniently, some of site's functionality is accessible directly from the

command-line:

$ python -m site --user-base

/Users/raymondhettinger/.local

$ python -m site --user-site

/Users/raymondhettinger/.local/lib/python3.2/site-packages

(由 Tarek Ziadé 在 bpo-6693 中贡献。)

sysconfig¶

The new sysconfig module makes it straightforward to discover

installation paths and configuration variables that vary across platforms and

installations.

The module offers access simple access functions for platform and version

information:

  • get_platform() returning values like linux-i586 or

    macosx-10.6-ppc.

  • get_python_version() returns a Python version string

    such as "3.2".

It also provides access to the paths and variables corresponding to one of

seven named schemes used by distutils. Those include posix_prefix,

posix_home, posix_user, nt, nt_user, os2, os2_home:

  • get_paths() makes a dictionary containing installation paths

    for the current installation scheme.

  • get_config_vars() returns a dictionary of platform specific

    variables.

还有一个方便的命令行界面:

C:\Python32>python -m sysconfig

Platform: "win32"

Python version: "3.2"

Current installation scheme: "nt"

Paths:

data = "C:\Python32"

include = "C:\Python32\Include"

platinclude = "C:\Python32\Include"

platlib = "C:\Python32\Lib\site-packages"

platstdlib = "C:\Python32\Lib"

purelib = "C:\Python32\Lib\site-packages"

scripts = "C:\Python32\Scripts"

stdlib = "C:\Python32\Lib"

Variables:

BINDIR = "C:\Python32"

BINLIBDEST = "C:\Python32\Lib"

EXE = ".exe"

INCLUDEPY = "C:\Python32\Include"

LIBDEST = "C:\Python32\Lib"

SO = ".pyd"

VERSION = "32"

abiflags = ""

base = "C:\Python32"

exec_prefix = "C:\Python32"

platbase = "C:\Python32"

prefix = "C:\Python32"

projectbase = "C:\Python32"

py_version = "3.2"

py_version_nodot = "32"

py_version_short = "3.2"

srcdir = "C:\Python32"

userbase = "C:\Documents and Settings\Raymond\Application Data\Python"

(由TarekZiadé 移出Distutils。)

pdb¶

The pdb debugger module gained a number of usability improvements:

  • pdb.py now has a -c option that executes commands as given in a

    .pdbrc script file.

  • A .pdbrc script file can contain continue and next commands

    that continue debugging.

  • The Pdb class constructor now accepts a nosigint argument.

  • New commands: l(list), ll(longlist) and source for

    listing source code.

  • New commands: display and undisplay for showing or hiding

    the value of an expression if it has changed.

  • New command: interact for starting an interactive interpreter containing

    the global and local names found in the current scope.

  • Breakpoints can be cleared by breakpoint number.

(由Georg Brandl, Antonio Cuni 和 Ilya Sandler 贡献。)

configparser¶

The configparser module was modified to improve usability and

predictability of the default parser and its supported INI syntax. The old

ConfigParser class was removed in favor of SafeConfigParser

which has in turn been renamed to ConfigParser. Support

for inline comments is now turned off by default and section or option

duplicates are not allowed in a single configuration source.

Config parsers gained a new API based on the mapping protocol:

>>> parser=ConfigParser()

>>> parser.read_string("""

... [DEFAULT]

... location = upper left

... visible = yes

... editable = no

... color = blue

...

... [main]

... title = Main Menu

... color = green

...

... [options]

... title = Options

... """)

>>> parser['main']['color']

'green'

>>> parser['main']['editable']

'no'

>>> section=parser['options']

>>> section['title']

'Options'

>>> section['title']='Options (editable: %(editable)s)'

>>> section['title']

'Options (editable: no)'

The new API is implemented on top of the classical API, so custom parser

subclasses should be able to use it without modifications.

The INI file structure accepted by config parsers can now be customized. Users

can specify alternative option/value delimiters and comment prefixes, change the

name of the DEFAULT section or switch the interpolation syntax.

There is support for pluggable interpolation including an additional interpolation

handler ExtendedInterpolation:

>>> parser=ConfigParser(interpolation=ExtendedInterpolation())

>>> parser.read_dict({'buildout':{'directory':'/home/ambv/zope9'},

... 'custom':{'prefix':'/usr/local'}})

>>> parser.read_string("""

... [buildout]

... parts =

... zope9

... instance

... find-links =

... ${buildout:directory}/downloads/dist

...

... [zope9]

... recipe = plone.recipe.zope9install

... location = /opt/zope

...

... [instance]

... recipe = plone.recipe.zope9instance

... zope9-location = ${zope9:location}

... zope-conf = ${custom:prefix}/etc/zope.conf

... """)

>>> parser['buildout']['find-links']

'\n/home/ambv/zope9/downloads/dist'

>>> parser['instance']['zope-conf']

'/usr/local/etc/zope.conf'

>>> instance=parser['instance']

>>> instance['zope-conf']

'/usr/local/etc/zope.conf'

>>> instance['zope9-location']

'/opt/zope'

A number of smaller features were also introduced, like support for specifying

encoding in read operations, specifying fallback values for get-functions, or

reading directly from dictionaries and strings.

(All changes contributed by Łukasz Langa.)

urllib.parse¶

A number of usability improvements were made for the urllib.parse module.

The urlparse() function now supports IPv6 addresses as described in RFC 2732:

>>> importurllib.parse

>>> urllib.parse.urlparse('http://[dead:beef:cafe:5417:affe:8FA3:deaf:feed]/foo/')

ParseResult(scheme='http',

netloc='[dead:beef:cafe:5417:affe:8FA3:deaf:feed]',

path='/foo/',

params='',

query='',

fragment='')

The urldefrag() function now returns a named tuple:

>>> r=urllib.parse.urldefrag('http://python.org/about/#target')

>>> r

DefragResult(url='http://python.org/about/', fragment='target')

>>> r[0]

'http://python.org/about/'

>>> r.fragment

'target'

And, the urlencode() function is now much more flexible,

accepting either a string or bytes type for the query argument. If it is a

string, then the safe, encoding, and error parameters are sent to

quote_plus() for encoding:

>>> urllib.parse.urlencode([

... ('type','telenovela'),

... ('name','¿Dónde Está Elisa?')],

... encoding='latin-1')

'type=telenovela&name=%BFD%F3nde+Est%E1+Elisa%3F'

As detailed in 解析ASCII编码字节, all the urllib.parse

functions now accept ASCII-encoded byte strings as input, so long as they are

not mixed with regular strings. If ASCII-encoded byte strings are given as

parameters, the return types will also be an ASCII-encoded byte strings:

>>> urllib.parse.urlparse(b'http://www.python.org:80/about/')

ParseResultBytes(scheme=b'http', netloc=b'www.python.org:80',

path=b'/about/', params=b'', query=b'', fragment=b'')

(Work by Nick Coghlan, Dan Mahn, and Senthil Kumaran in bpo-2987,

bpo-5468, and bpo-9873.)

mailbox¶

Thanks to a concerted effort by R. David Murray, the mailbox module has

been fixed for Python 3.2. The challenge was that mailbox had been originally

designed with a text interface, but email messages are best represented with

bytes because various parts of a message may have different encodings.

The solution harnessed the email package's binary support for parsing

arbitrary email messages. In addition, the solution required a number of API

changes.

As expected, the add() method for

mailbox.Mailbox objects now accepts binary input.

StringIO and text file input are deprecated. Also, string input

will fail early if non-ASCII characters are used. Previously it would fail when

the email was processed in a later step.

There is also support for binary output. The get_file()

method now returns a file in the binary mode (where it used to incorrectly set

the file to text-mode). There is also a new get_bytes()

method that returns a bytes representation of a message corresponding

to a given key.

It is still possible to get non-binary output using the old API's

get_string() method, but that approach

is not very useful. Instead, it is best to extract messages from

a Message object or to load them from binary input.

(Contributed by R. David Murray, with efforts from Steffen Daode Nurpmeso and an

initial patch by Victor Stinner in bpo-9124.)

turtledemo¶

The demonstration code for the turtle module was moved from the Demo

directory to main library. It includes over a dozen sample scripts with

lively displays. Being on sys.path, it can now be run directly

from the command-line:

$ python -m turtledemo

(Moved from the Demo directory by Alexander Belopolsky in bpo-10199.)

多线程¶

  • The mechanism for serializing execution of concurrently running Python threads

    (generally known as the GIL or Global Interpreter Lock) has

    been rewritten. Among the objectives were more predictable switching

    intervals and reduced overhead due to lock contention and the number of

    ensuing system calls. The notion of a "check interval" to allow thread

    switches has been abandoned and replaced by an absolute duration expressed in

    seconds. This parameter is tunable through sys.setswitchinterval().

    It currently defaults to 5 milliseconds.

    Additional details about the implementation can be read from a python-dev

    mailing-list message

    (however, "priority requests" as exposed in this message have not been kept

    for inclusion).

    (由 Antoine Pitrou 贡献。)

  • Regular and recursive locks now accept an optional timeout argument to their

    acquire() method. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou;

    bpo-7316.)

  • Similarly, threading.Semaphore.acquire() also gained a timeout

    argument. (Contributed by Torsten Landschoff; bpo-850728.)

  • Regular and recursive lock acquisitions can now be interrupted by signals on

    platforms using Pthreads. This means that Python programs that deadlock while

    acquiring locks can be successfully killed by repeatedly sending SIGINT to the

    process (by pressing Ctrl+C in most shells).

    (Contributed by Reid Kleckner; bpo-8844.)

性能优化¶

A number of small performance enhancements have been added:

  • Python's peephole optimizer now recognizes patterns such xin{1,2,3} as

    being a test for membership in a set of constants. The optimizer recasts the

    set as a frozenset and stores the pre-built constant.

    Now that the speed penalty is gone, it is practical to start writing

    membership tests using set-notation. This style is both semantically clear

    and operationally fast:

    extension=name.rpartition('.')[2]

    ifextensionin{'xml','html','xhtml','css'}:

    handle(name)

    (Patch and additional tests contributed by Dave Malcolm; bpo-6690).

  • Serializing and unserializing data using the pickle module is now

    several times faster.

    (由 Alexandre Vassalotti, Antoine Pitrou 和 Unladen Swallow 团队在 bpo-9410 和 bpo-3873 中贡献。)

  • The Timsort algorithm used in

    list.sort() and sorted() now runs faster and uses less memory

    when called with a key function. Previously, every element of

    a list was wrapped with a temporary object that remembered the key value

    associated with each element. Now, two arrays of keys and values are

    sorted in parallel. This saves the memory consumed by the sort wrappers,

    and it saves time lost to delegating comparisons.

    (Patch by Daniel Stutzbach in bpo-9915.)

  • JSON decoding performance is improved and memory consumption is reduced

    whenever the same string is repeated for multiple keys. Also, JSON encoding

    now uses the C speedups when the sort_keys argument is true.

    (由Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-7451 中贡献,由 Raymond Hettinger 和 Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-10314 中贡献。)

  • Recursive locks (created with the threading.RLock() API) now benefit

    from a C implementation which makes them as fast as regular locks, and between

    10x and 15x faster than their previous pure Python implementation.

    (由 Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-3001 中贡献。)

  • The fast-search algorithm in stringlib is now used by the split(),

    rsplit(), splitlines() and replace() methods on

    bytes, bytearray and str objects. Likewise, the

    algorithm is also used by rfind(), rindex(), rsplit() and

    rpartition().

    (Patch by Florent Xicluna in bpo-7622 and bpo-7462.)

  • Integer to string conversions now work two "digits" at a time, reducing the

    number of division and modulo operations.

    (bpo-6713 by Gawain Bolton, Mark Dickinson, and Victor Stinner.)

There were several other minor optimizations. Set differencing now runs faster

when one operand is much larger than the other (patch by Andress Bennetts in

bpo-8685). The array.repeat() method has a faster implementation

(bpo-1569291 by Alexander Belopolsky). The BaseHTTPRequestHandler

has more efficient buffering (bpo-3709 by Andrew Schaaf). The

operator.attrgetter() function has been sped-up (bpo-10160 by

Christos Georgiou). And ConfigParser loads multi-line arguments a bit

faster (bpo-7113 by Łukasz Langa).

Unicode¶

Python has been updated to Unicode 6.0.0. The update to the standard adds

over 2,000 new characters including emoji

symbols which are important for mobile phones.

In addition, the updated standard has altered the character properties for two

Kannada characters (U+0CF1, U+0CF2) and one New Tai Lue numeric character

(U+19DA), making the former eligible for use in identifiers while disqualifying

the latter. For more information, see Unicode Character Database Changes.

编解码器¶

Support was added for cp720 Arabic DOS encoding (bpo-1616979).

MBCS encoding no longer ignores the error handler argument. In the default

strict mode, it raises an UnicodeDecodeError when it encounters an

undecodable byte sequence and an UnicodeEncodeError for an unencodable

character.

The MBCS codec supports 'strict' and 'ignore' error handlers for

decoding, and 'strict' and 'replace' for encoding.

To emulate Python3.1 MBCS encoding, select the 'ignore' handler for decoding

and the 'replace' handler for encoding.

On Mac OS X, Python decodes command line arguments with 'utf-8' rather than

the locale encoding.

By default, tarfile uses 'utf-8' encoding on Windows (instead of

'mbcs') and the 'surrogateescape' error handler on all operating

systems.

文档¶

The documentation continues to be improved.

  • A table of quick links has been added to the top of lengthy sections such as

    内置函数. In the case of itertools, the links are

    accompanied by tables of cheatsheet-style summaries to provide an overview and

    memory jog without having to read all of the docs.

  • In some cases, the pure Python source code can be a helpful adjunct to the

    documentation, so now many modules now feature quick links to the latest

    version of the source code. For example, the functools module

    documentation has a quick link at the top labeled:

    源代码 Lib/functools.py.

    (由 Raymond Hettinger 贡献,参见 rationale。)

  • The docs now contain more examples and recipes. In particular, re

    module has an extensive section, 正则表达式例子. Likewise, the

    itertools module continues to be updated with new

    Itertools食谱.

  • The datetime module now has an auxiliary implementation in pure Python.

    No functionality was changed. This just provides an easier-to-read alternate

    implementation.

    (由 Alexander Belopolsky 在 bpo-9528 中贡献。)

  • The unmaintained Demo directory has been removed. Some demos were

    integrated into the documentation, some were moved to the Tools/demo

    directory, and others were removed altogether.

    (由 Georg Brandl 在 bpo-7962 中贡献)

IDLE¶

  • The format menu now has an option to clean source files by stripping

    trailing whitespace.

    (由 Raymond Hettinger 在 bpo-5150 中贡献。)

  • IDLE on Mac OS X now works with both Carbon AquaTk and Cocoa AquaTk.

    (由 Kevin Walzer, Ned Deily 和 Ronald Oussoren 在 bpo-6075 中贡献。)

代码库¶

In addition to the existing Subversion code repository at http://svn.python.org

there is now a Mercurial repository at

https://hg.python.org/.

After the 3.2 release, there are plans to switch to Mercurial as the primary

repository. This distributed version control system should make it easier for

members of the community to create and share external changesets. See

PEP 385 for details.

To learn to use the new version control system, see the Quick Start or the Guide to

Mercurial Workflows.

构建和 C API 的改变¶

Changes to Python's build process and to the C API include:

  • The idle, pydoc and 2to3 scripts are now installed with a

    version-specific suffix on makealtinstall (bpo-10679).

  • The C functions that access the Unicode Database now accept and return

    characters from the full Unicode range, even on narrow unicode builds

    (Py_UNICODE_TOLOWER, Py_UNICODE_ISDECIMAL, and others). A visible difference

    in Python is that unicodedata.numeric() now returns the correct value

    for large code points, and repr() may consider more characters as

    printable.

    (Reported by Bupjoe Lee and fixed by Amaury Forgeot D'Arc; bpo-5127.)

  • Computed gotos are now enabled by default on supported compilers (which are

    detected by the configure script). They can still be disabled selectively by

    specifying --without-computed-gotos.

    (由 Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-9203 中贡献。)

  • The option --with-wctype-functions was removed. The built-in unicode

    database is now used for all functions.

    (由 Amaury Forgeot d'Arc 在 bpo-9210 中贡献。)

  • Hash values are now values of a new type, Py_hash_t, which is

    defined to be the same size as a pointer. Previously they were of type long,

    which on some 64-bit operating systems is still only 32 bits long. As a

    result of this fix, set and dict can now hold more than

    2**32 entries on builds with 64-bit pointers (previously, they could grow

    to that size but their performance degraded catastrophically).

    (Suggested by Raymond Hettinger and implemented by Benjamin Peterson;

    bpo-9778.)

  • A new macro Py_VA_COPY copies the state of the variable argument

    list. It is equivalent to C99 va_copy but available on all Python platforms

    (bpo-2443).

  • A new C API function PySys_SetArgvEx() allows an embedded interpreter

    to set sys.argv without also modifying sys.path

    (bpo-5753).

  • PyEval_CallObject is now only available in macro form. The

    function declaration, which was kept for backwards compatibility reasons, is

    now removed -- the macro was introduced in 1997 (bpo-8276).

  • There is a new function PyLong_AsLongLongAndOverflow() which

    is analogous to PyLong_AsLongAndOverflow(). They both serve to

    convert Python int into a native fixed-width type while providing

    detection of cases where the conversion won't fit (bpo-7767).

  • The PyUnicode_CompareWithASCIIString() function now returns not

    equal if the Python string is NUL terminated.

  • There is a new function PyErr_NewExceptionWithDoc() that is

    like PyErr_NewException() but allows a docstring to be specified.

    This lets C exceptions have the same self-documenting capabilities as

    their pure Python counterparts (bpo-7033).

  • When compiled with the --with-valgrind option, the pymalloc

    allocator will be automatically disabled when running under Valgrind. This

    gives improved memory leak detection when running under Valgrind, while taking

    advantage of pymalloc at other times (bpo-2422).

  • Removed the O? format from the PyArg_Parse functions. The format is no

    longer used and it had never been documented (bpo-8837).

There were a number of other small changes to the C-API. See the

Misc/NEWS file for a complete list.

Also, there were a number of updates to the Mac OS X build, see

Mac/BuildScript/README.txt for details. For users running a 32/64-bit

build, there is a known problem with the default Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X 10.6.

Accordingly, we recommend installing an updated alternative such as

ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5.9.

See https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ for additional details.

移植到 Python 3.2¶

This section lists previously described changes and other bugfixes that may

require changes to your code:

  • The configparser module has a number of clean-ups. The major change is

    to replace the old ConfigParser class with long-standing preferred

    alternative SafeConfigParser. In addition there are a number of

    smaller incompatibilities:

    • The interpolation syntax is now validated on

      get() and

      set() operations. In the default

      interpolation scheme, only two tokens with percent signs are valid: %(name)s

      and %%, the latter being an escaped percent sign.

    • The set() and

      add_section() methods now verify that

      values are actual strings. Formerly, unsupported types could be introduced

      unintentionally.

    • Duplicate sections or options from a single source now raise either

      DuplicateSectionError or

      DuplicateOptionError. Formerly, duplicates would

      silently overwrite a previous entry.

    • Inline comments are now disabled by default so now the ; character

      can be safely used in values.

    • Comments now can be indented. Consequently, for ; or # to appear at

      the start of a line in multiline values, it has to be interpolated. This

      keeps comment prefix characters in values from being mistaken as comments.

    • "" is now a valid value and is no longer automatically converted to an

      empty string. For empty strings, use "option=" in a line.

  • The nntplib module was reworked extensively, meaning that its APIs

    are often incompatible with the 3.1 APIs.

  • bytearray objects can no longer be used as filenames; instead,

    they should be converted to bytes.

  • The array.tostring() and array.fromstring() have been renamed to

    array.tobytes() and array.frombytes() for clarity. The old names

    have been deprecated. (See bpo-8990.)

  • PyArg_Parse*() 函数:

    • "t#" format has been removed: use "s#" or "s*" instead

    • "w" and "w#" formats has been removed: use "w*" instead

  • The PyCObject type, deprecated in 3.1, has been removed. To wrap

    opaque C pointers in Python objects, the PyCapsule API should be used

    instead; the new type has a well-defined interface for passing typing safety

    information and a less complicated signature for calling a destructor.

  • The sys.setfilesystemencoding() function was removed because

    it had a flawed design.

  • The random.seed() function and method now salt string seeds with an

    sha512 hash function. To access the previous version of seed in order to

    reproduce Python 3.1 sequences, set the version argument to 1,

    random.seed(s,version=1).

  • The previously deprecated string.maketrans() function has been removed

    in favor of the static methods bytes.maketrans() and

    bytearray.maketrans(). This change solves the confusion around which

    types were supported by the string module. Now, str,

    bytes, and bytearray each have their own maketrans and

    translate methods with intermediate translation tables of the appropriate

    type.

    (由Georg Brandl在 bpo-5675 中贡献)

  • The previously deprecated contextlib.nested() function has been removed

    in favor of a plain with statement which can accept multiple

    context managers. The latter technique is faster (because it is built-in),

    and it does a better job finalizing multiple context managers when one of them

    raises an exception:

    withopen('mylog.txt')asinfile,open('a.out','w')asoutfile:

    forlineininfile:

    if'<critical>'inline:

    outfile.write(line)

    (Contributed by Georg Brandl and Mattias Brändström;

    appspot issue 53094.)

  • struct.pack() now only allows bytes for the s string pack code.

    Formerly, it would accept text arguments and implicitly encode them to bytes

    using UTF-8. This was problematic because it made assumptions about the

    correct encoding and because a variable-length encoding can fail when writing

    to fixed length segment of a structure.

    Code such as struct.pack('<6sHHBBB','GIF87a',x,y) should be rewritten

    with to use bytes instead of text, struct.pack('<6sHHBBB',b'GIF87a',x,y).

    (Discovered by David Beazley and fixed by Victor Stinner; bpo-10783.)

  • The xml.etree.ElementTree class now raises an

    xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError when a parse fails. Previously it

    raised an xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError.

  • The new, longer str() value on floats may break doctests which rely on

    the old output format.

  • In subprocess.Popen, the default value for close_fds is now

    True under Unix; under Windows, it is True if the three standard

    streams are set to None, False otherwise. Previously, close_fds

    was always False by default, which produced difficult to solve bugs

    or race conditions when open file descriptors would leak into the child

    process.

  • Support for legacy HTTP 0.9 has been removed from urllib.request

    and http.client. Such support is still present on the server side

    (in http.server).

    (由 Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-10711 中贡献。)

  • SSL sockets in timeout mode now raise socket.timeout when a timeout

    occurs, rather than a generic SSLError.

    (由 Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-10272 中贡献。)

  • The misleading functions PyEval_AcquireLock() and

    PyEval_ReleaseLock() have been officially deprecated. The

    thread-state aware APIs (such as PyEval_SaveThread()

    and PyEval_RestoreThread()) should be used instead.

  • Due to security risks, asyncore.handle_accept() has been deprecated, and

    a new function, asyncore.handle_accepted(), was added to replace it.

    (由 Giampaolo Rodola 在 bpo-6706 中贡献。)

  • Due to the new GIL implementation, PyEval_InitThreads()

    cannot be called before Py_Initialize() anymore.
