Changelog¶
Python next¶
Release date: XXXX-XX-XX
Library¶
gh-125096: If the
PYTHON_BASIC_REPL
environment variable is set, thesite
module no longer imports the_pyrepl
module. Moreover, thesite
module now respects-E
and-I
command line options: ignorePYTHON_BASIC_REPL
in this case. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-124653: Fix detection of the minimal Queue API needed by the
logging
module. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.gh-116850: Fix
argparse
for namespaces with not directly writable dict (e.g. classes).gh-58573: Fix conflicts between abbreviated long options in the parent parser and subparsers in
argparse
.gh-61181: Fix support of choices with string value in
argparse
. Substrings of the specified string no longer considered valid values.gh-80259: Fix
argparse
support of positional arguments withnargs='?'
,default=argparse.SUPPRESS
and specifiedtype
.gh-120378: Fix a crash related to an integer overflow in
curses.resizeterm()
andcurses.resize_term()
.gh-123884: Fixed bug in itertools.tee() handling of other tee inputs (a tee in a tee). The output now has the promised n independent new iterators. Formerly, the first iterator was identical (not independent) to the input iterator. This would sometimes give surprising results.
gh-124345:
argparse
vim supports abbreviated single-dash long options separated by=
from its value.gh-104860: Fix disallowing abbreviation of single-dash long options in
argparse
withallow_abbrev=False
.gh-63143: Fix parsing mutually exclusive arguments in
argparse
. Arguments with the value identical to the default value (e.g. booleans, small integers, empty or 1-character strings) are no longer considered “not present”.gh-72795: Positional arguments with nargs equal to
'*'
orargparse.REMAINDER
are no longer required. This allows to use positional argument withnargs='*'
and withoutdefault
in mutually exclusive group and improves error message about required arguments.gh-59317: Fix parsing positional argument with nargs equal to
'?'
or'*'
if it is preceded by an option and another positional argument.gh-53780:
argparse
now ignores the first"--"
(double dash) between an option and command.gh-124217: Add RFC 9637 reserved IPv6 block
3fff::/20
inipaddress
module.gh-81691: Fix handling of multiple
"--"
(double dashes) inargparse
. Only the first one has now been removed, all subsequent ones are now taken literally.gh-116810: Resolve a memory leak introduced in CPython 3.10’s
ssl
when thessl.SSLSocket.session
property was accessed. Speeds up read and write access to said property by no longer unnecessarily cloning session objects via serialization.bpo-14074: Fix
argparse
metavar processing to allow positional arguments to have a tuple metavar.
IDLE¶
gh-122392: Increase currently inadequate vertical spacing for the IDLE browsers (path, module, and stack) on high-resolution monitors.
Documentation¶
gh-125018: The
importlib.metadata
documentation now includes semantic cross-reference targets for the significant documented APIs. This means intersphinx references likeimportlib.metadata.version()
will now work as expected.gh-70870: Clarified the dual usage of the term “free variable” (both the formal meaning of any reference to names defined outside the local scope, and the narrower pragmatic meaning of nonlocal variables named in
co_freevars
).bpo-34008: The
Py_Main()
documentation moved from the “Very High Level API” section to the “Initialization and Finalization” section.Also make it explicit that we expect
Py_Main
to typically be called instead ofPy_Initialize
rather than after it (sincePy_Main
makes its own call toPy_Initialize
). Document that calling both is supported but is version dependent on which settings will be applied correctly.
Core and Builtins¶
gh-123378: Fix a crash in the
__str__()
method ofUnicodeError
objects when theUnicodeError.start
andUnicodeError.end
values are invalid or out-of-range. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.gh-122878: Use the
pager
binary, if available (e.g. on Debian and derivatives), to display REPLhelp()

Py_IsInitialized
to the list of APIs that are safe to call before the interpreter is initialized, and updated the embedding tests to cover it.

Python 3.13.0 beta 1¶
Release date: 2024-05-08
Security¶
Core and Builtins¶
gh-118414: Add instrumented opcodes to YIELD_VALUE assertion for tracing cases.
gh-117953: When a builtin or extension module is imported for the first time, while a subinterpreter is active, the module’s init function is now run by the main interpreter first before import continues in the subinterpreter. Consequently, single-phase init modules now fail in an isolated subinterpreter without the init function running under that interpreter, whereas before it would run under the subinterpreter before failing, potentially leaving behind global state and callbacks and otherwise leaving the module in an inconsistent state.
gh-117549: Don’t use designated initializer syntax in inline functions in internal headers. They cause problems for C++ or MSVC users who aren’t yet using the latest C++ standard (C++20). While internal, pycore_backoff.h, is included (indirectly, via pycore_code.h) by some key 3rd party software that does so for speed.
gh-95382: Improve performance of
json.dumps()
andjson.dump()
when using the argument indent. Depending on the data the encoding usingjson.dumps()
with indent can be up to 2 to 3 times faster.gh-116322: In
--disable-gil
builds, the GIL will be enabled while loading C extension modules. If the module indicates that it supports running without the GIL, the GIL will be disabled once loading is complete. Otherwise, the GIL will remain enabled for the remainder of the interpreter’s lifetime. This behavior does not apply if the GIL has been explicitly enabled or disabled withPYTHON_GIL
or-Xgil
.gh-118513: Fix incorrect
UnboundLocalError
when two comprehensions in the same function both reference the same name, and in one comprehension the name is bound while in the other it’s an implicit global.gh-118518: Allow the Linux perf support to work without frame pointers using perf’s advanced JIT support. The feature is activated when using the
PYTHON_PERF_JIT_SUPPORT
environment variable or when running Python with-Xperf_jit
. Patch by Pablo Galindo.gh-117514: Add
sys._is_gil_enabled()
function that returns whether the GIL is currently enabled. In the default build it always returnsTrue
because the GIL is always enabled. In the free-threaded build, it may returnTrue
orFalse
.gh-118164: Break a loop between the Python implementation of the
decimal
module and the Python code for integer to string conversion. Also optimize integer to string conversion for values in the range from 9_000 to 135_000 decimal digits.gh-118473: Fix
sys.set_asyncgen_hooks()
not to be partially set when raisingTypeError
.gh-118465: Compiler populates the new
__firstlineno__
field on a class with the line number of the first line of the class definition.gh-118492: Fix an issue where the type cache can expose a previously accessed attribute when a finalizer is run.
gh-117714: update
async_generator.athrow().close()
andasync_generator.asend().close()
to close their section of the underlying async generatorgh-111201: The interactive interpreter is now implemented in Python, which allows for a number of new features like colors, multiline input, history viewing, and paste mode. Contributed by Pablo Galindo, Łukasz Langa and Lysandros Nikolaou based on code from the PyPy project.
gh-74929: Implement PEP 667: converted
FrameType.f_locals
andPyFrame_GetLocals()
to return a write-through proxy object when the frame refers to a function or comprehension.gh-116767: Fix crash in compiler on ‘async with’ that has many context managers.
gh-118335: Change how to use the tier 2 interpreter. Instead of running Python with
-X uops
or setting the environment variablePYTHON_UOPS=1
, this choice is now made at build time by configuring with--enable-experimental-jit=interpreter
.Beware! This changes the environment variable to enable or disable micro-ops to
PYTHON_JIT
. The oldPYTHON_UOPS
is no longer used.gh-118306: Update JIT compilation to use LLVM 18
gh-118160: Annotation scopes within classes can now contain comprehensions. However, such comprehensions are not inlined into their parent scope at runtime. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.
gh-118272: Fix bug where
generator.close
does not free the generator frame’s locals.gh-118216: Don’t consider
__future__
imports with dots before the module name.gh-118074: Make sure that the Executor objects in the COLD_EXITS array aren’t assumed to be GC-able (which would access bytes outside the object).
gh-107674: Lazy load frame line number to improve performance of tracing
gh-118082: Improve
SyntaxError
message for imports without names, like infrom x import
andimport
cases. It now points out to users thatimport
expects at least one name after it.gh-118090: Improve
SyntaxError
message for empty type param brackets.gh-117958: Added a
get_jit_code()
method to access JIT compiled machine code from the UOp Executor when the experimental JIT is enabled. Patch by Anthony Shaw.gh-117901: Add option for compiler’s codegen to save nested instruction sequences for introspection.
gh-116622: Redirect stdout and stderr to system log when embedded in an Android app.
gh-109118: annotation scope within class scopes can now contain lambdas.
gh-117894: Prevent
agen.aclose()
objects being re-used after.throw()
.gh-117881: prevent concurrent access to an async generator via athrow().throw() or asend().throw()
gh-117536: Fix a
RuntimeWarning
when callingagen.aclose().throw(Exception)
.gh-117755: Fix mimalloc allocator for huge memory allocation (around 8,589,934,592 GiB) on s390x. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-117750: Fix issue where an object’s dict would get out of sync with the object’s internal values when being cleared.
obj.__dict__.clear()
now clears the internal values, but leaves the dict attached to the object.gh-117431: Improve the performance of the following
bytes
andbytearray
methods by adapting them to theMETH_FASTCALL
calling convention:count()
find()
index()
rfind()
rindex()
gh-117709: Speed up calls to
str()
with positional-only argument, by using the PEP 590vectorcall
calling convention. Patch by Erlend Aasland.gh-117680: Give
_PyInstructionSequence
a Python interface and use it in tests.gh-115776: Statically allocated objects are, by definition, immortal so must be marked as such regardless of whether they are in extension modules or not.
gh-117385: Remove unhandled
PY_MONITORING_EVENT_BRANCH
andPY_MONITORING_EVENT_EXCEPTION_HANDLED
events fromsys.settrace()
.gh-116322: Extension modules may indicate to the runtime that they can run without the GIL. Multi-phase init modules do so by calling providing
Py_MOD_GIL_NOT_USED
for thePy_mod_gil
slot, while single-phase init modules callPyUnstable_Module_SetGIL(mod, Py_MOD_GIL_NOT_USED)
from their init function.gh-116129: Implement PEP 696, adding support for defaults on type parameters. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.
gh-93502: Add two new functions to the C-API,
PyRefTracer_SetTracer()
andPyRefTracer_GetTracer()
, that allows to track object creation and destruction the same way thetracemalloc
module does. Patch by Pablo Galindogh-107674: Improved the performance of
sys.settrace()
significantlygh-95754: Improve the error message when a script shadowing a module from the standard library causes
AttributeError
to be raised. Similarly, improve the error message when a script shadowing a third party module attempts to access an attribute from that third party module while still initialising.gh-99180: Elide uninformative traceback indicators in
return
and simpleassignment
statements. Patch by Pablo Galindo.gh-105879: Allow the globals and locals arguments to
exec()

to be passed as keywords.
Library¶
gh-118418: A
DeprecationWarning
is now emitted if you fail to pass a value to the new type_params parameter oftyping._eval_type()
ortyping.ForwardRef._evaluate()
. (Using either of these private and undocumented functions is discouraged to begin with, but failing to pass a value to thetype_params
parameter may lead to incorrect behaviour on Python 3.12 or newer.)gh-118660: Add an optional second type parameter to
typing.ContextManager
andtyping.AsyncContextManager
, representing the return types of__exit__()
and__aexit__()
respectively. This parameter defaults tobool | None
.gh-118650: The
enum
module allows method named_repr_*
to be defined onEnum
types.gh-118648: Add type parameter defaults to
typing.Generator
andtyping.AsyncGenerator
.gh-101137: Mime type
text/x-rst
is now supported bymimetypes
.gh-118164: The Python implementation of the
decimal
module could appear to hang in relatively small power cases (like2**117
) if context precision was set to a very high value. A different method to check for exactly representable results is used now that doesn’t rely on computing10**precision
(which could be effectively too large to compute).gh-111744:
breakpoint()
andpdb.set_trace()
now enter the debugger immediately after the call rather than before the next line is executed.gh-118406: Add signature for
sqlite3.Connection
objects.gh-101732: Use a Y2038 compatible openssl time function when available.
gh-118404: Fix
inspect.signature()
for non-comparable callables.gh-118402: Fix
inspect.signature()
for the result of thefunctools.cmp_to_key()
call.gh-116622: On Android,
sysconfig.get_platform
now returns the format specified by PEP 738.gh-118285: Allow to specify the signature of custom callable instances of extension type by the
__text_signature__
attribute. Specify signatures ofoperator.attrgetter
,operator.itemgetter
, andoperator.methodcaller
instances.gh-118314: Fix an edge case in
binascii.a2b_base64()
strict mode, where excessive padding is not detected when no padding is necessary.gh-118271: Add the
PhotoImage
methodsread()
to read an image from a file anddata()
to get the image data. Add background and grayscale parameters toPhotoImage
methodwrite()
.gh-118225: Add the
PhotoImage
methodcopy_replace()
to copy a region from one image to other image, possibly with pixel zooming and/or subsampling. Add from_coords parameter toPhotoImage
methodscopy()
,zoom()
andsubsample()
. Add zoom and subsample parameters toPhotoImage
methodcopy()
.gh-118221: Fix a bug where
sqlite3.Connection.iterdump()
could fail if a customrow factory
was used. Patch by Erlend Aasland.gh-118013: Fix regression introduced in gh-103193 that meant that calling
inspect.getattr_static()
on an instance would cause a strong reference to that instance’s class to persist in an internal cache in theinspect
module. This caused unexpected memory consumption if the class was dynamically created, the class held strong references to other objects which took up a significant amount of memory, and the cache contained the sole strong reference to the class. The fix for the regression leads to a slowdown ingetattr_static()
, but the function should still be significantly faster than it was in Python 3.11. Patch by Alex Waygood.gh-118218: Speed up
itertools.pairwise()
in the common case by up to 1.8x.gh-117486: Improve the behavior of user-defined subclasses of
ast.AST
. Such classes will now require no changes in the usual case to conform with the behavior changes of theast
module in Python 3.13. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.gh-90848: Fixed
unittest.mock.create_autospec()
to configure parent mock with keyword arguments.gh-118168: Fix incorrect argument substitution when
typing.Unpack
is used with the builtintuple
.typing.Unpack
now raisesTypeError
when used with certain invalid types. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.gh-118131: Add command-line interface for the
random
module. Patch by Hugo van Kemenade.gh-118107: Fix
zipimport
reading of ZIP64 files with file entries that are too big or offset too far.gh-102511: Fix
os.path.normpath()
for UNC paths on Windows. Speed upos.path.splitroot()
with a native implementation.gh-117535: Change the unknown filename of
warnings
fromsys
to<sys>
to clarify that it’s not a real filename.gh-114053: Fix erroneous
NameError
when callingtyping.get_type_hints()
on a class that made use of PEP 695 type parameters in a module that hadfrom __future__ import annotations
at the top of the file. Patch by Alex Waygood.gh-116931: Add parameter fileobj check for
tarfile.TarFile.addfile()
gh-117995: Don’t raise
DeprecationWarning
when a sequence of parameters is used to bind indexed, nameless placeholders. See also gh-100668.gh-80361: Fix TypeError in
email.message.Message.get_payload()
when the charset is RFC 2231 encoded.gh-86650: Fix IndexError when parse some emails with invalid Message-ID (including one-off addresses generated by Microsoft Outlook).
gh-117691: Improve the error messages emitted by
tarfile
deprecation warnings relating to PEP 706. If afilter
argument is not provided toextract()
orextractall
, the deprecation warning now points to the line in the user’s code where the relevant function was called. Patch by Alex Waygood.gh-115874: Fixed a possible segfault during garbage collection of
_asyncio.FutureIter
objects. Patch by Savannah Ostrowski.gh-115060: Speed up
pathlib.Path.glob()
by omitting an initialis_dir()
call. As a result of this change,glob()
can no longer raiseOSError
.gh-77102:
site
module now parses.pth
file with UTF-8 first, and locale encoding ifUnicodeDecodeError
happened. It supported only locale encoding before.gh-76785: We’ve exposed the low-level
_interpreters
module for the sake of the PyPI implementation of PEP 734. It was sometimes available as the_xxsubinterpreters
module and was formerly used only for testing. For the most part, it should be considered an internal module, like_thread
and_imp
. See https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-734-multiple-interpreters-in-the-stdlib/41147/26.gh-115060: Speed up
pathlib.Path.glob()
by not scanning directories for non-wildcard pattern segments.gh-117727: Speed up
pathlib.Path.iterdir()
by usingos.scandir()
internally.gh-117586: Speed up
pathlib.Path.walk()
by working with strings internally.gh-117722: Change the new multi-separator support in
asyncio.StreamReader.readuntil()
to only accept tuples of separators rather than arbitrary iterables.gh-117692: Fixes a bug when
doctest.DocTestFinder
was failing on wrappedbuiltin_function_or_method
.gh-117348: Largely restored import time performance of configparser by avoiding dataclasses.
gh-117641: Speedup
os.path.commonpath()
on Unix.gh-117663: Fix
_simple_enum
to detect aliases when multiple arguments are present but only one is the member value.gh-117636: Speedup
os.path.join()
.gh-117618: Support
package.module
asfilename
forbreak
command ofpdb
gh-102247: the status codes enum with constants in http.HTTPStatus are updated to include the names from RFC9110. This RFC includes some HTTP statuses previously only used for WEBDAV and assigns more generic names to them.
The old constants are preserved for backwards compatibility.
gh-117607: Speedup
os.path.relpath()
.gh-117586: Speed up
pathlib.Path.glob()
by working with strings internally.gh-117225: Add colour to doctest output. Patch by Hugo van Kemenade.
gh-117566:
ipaddress.IPv6Address.is_loopback()
will now returnTrue
for IPv4-mapped loopback addresses, i.e. addresses in the::ffff:127.0.0.0/104
address space.gh-117546: Fix issue where
os.path.realpath()
stopped resolving symlinks after encountering a symlink loop on POSIX.gh-116720: Improved behavior of
asyncio.TaskGroup
when an external cancellation collides with an internal cancellation. For example, when two task groups are nested and both experience an exception in a child task simultaneously, it was possible that the outer task group would misbehave, because its internal cancellation was swallowed by the inner task group.In the case where a task group is cancelled externally and also must raise an
ExceptionGroup
, it will now call the parent task’scancel()
method. This ensures that aasyncio.CancelledError
will be raised at the nextawait
, so the cancellation is not lost.An added benefit of these changes is that task groups now preserve the cancellation count (
asyncio.Task.cancelling()
).In order to handle some corner cases,
asyncio.Task.uncancel()
may now reset the undocumented_must_cancel
flag when the cancellation count reaches zero.gh-117516: Add
typing.TypeIs
, implementing PEP 742. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.gh-117503: Fix support of non-ASCII user names in bytes paths in
os.path.expanduser()
on Posix.gh-117394:
os.path.ismount()
is now 2-3 times faster if the user has permissions.gh-117313: Only treat
'\n'
,'\r'
and'\r\n'
as line separators in re-folding theemail
messages. Preserve control characters'\v'
,'\f'
,'\x1c'
,'\x1d'
and'\x1e'
and Unicode line separators'\x85'
,'\u2028'
and'\u2029'
as is.gh-117142: Convert
_ctypes
to multi-phase initialisation (PEP 489).gh-66543: Add the
mimetypes.guess_file_type()
function which works with file path. Passing file path instead of URL inguess_type()
is soft deprecated.gh-68583: webbrowser CLI: replace getopt with argparse, add long options. Patch by Hugo van Kemenade.
gh-116871: Name suggestions for
AttributeError
andImportError
now only include underscored names if the original name was underscored.gh-116023: Don’t show empty fields (value
None
or[]
) inast.dump()
by default. Addshow_empty=False
parameter to optionally show them.gh-115961: Added
name
andmode
attributes for compressed and archived file-like objects in modulesbz2
,lzma
,tarfile
andzipfile
. The value of themode
attribute ofgzip.GzipFile
was changed from integer (1
or2
) to string ('rb'
or'wb'
). The value of themode
attribute of the readable file-like object returned byzipfile.ZipFile.open()
was changed from'r'
to'rb'
.gh-82062: Fix
inspect.signature()
to correctly handle parameter defaults on methods in extension modules that use names defined in the module namespace.gh-83856: Honor
atexit
for allmultiprocessing
start methodsgh-113081: Print colorized exception just like built-in traceback in
pdb
gh-112855: Speed up pickling of
pathlib.PurePath
objects. Patch by Barney Gale.gh-109617:
ncurses
: fixed a crash that could occur on macOS 13 or earlier when Python was built with Apple Xcode 15’s SDK.gh-83151: Enabled arbitrary statements and evaluations in
pdb
shell to access the local variables of the current frame, which made it possible for multi-scope code like generators or nested function to work.gh-110209: Add
__class_getitem__()
totypes.GeneratorType
andtypes.CoroutineType
for type hinting purposes. Patch by James Hilton-Balfe.gh-108191: The
types.SimpleNamespace
now accepts an optional positional argument which specifies initial values of attributes as a dict or an iterable of key-value pairs.gh-62090: Fix assertion errors caused by whitespace in metavars or
SUPPRESS
-ed groups inargparse
by simplifying usage formatting. Patch by Ali Hamdan.gh-102402: Adjust
logging.LogRecord
to usetime.time_ns()
and fix minor bug related to floating-point math.gh-100242: Bring pure Python implementation
functools.partial.__new__
more in line with the C-implementation by not just always checking for the presence of the attribute'func'
on the first argument ofpartial
. Instead, both the Python version and the C version perform anisinstance(func, partial)
check on the first argument ofpartial
.gh-99730: HEAD requests are no longer upgraded to GET request during redirects in urllib.
gh-66410: Setting the
tkinter
module globalwantobjects
to2
before creating theTk
object or call thewantobjects()
method of theTk
object with argument2
makes now arguments to callbacks registered in thetkinter
module to be passed as various Python objects (int
,float
,bytes
,tuple
), depending on their internal representation in Tcl, instead of alwaysstr
.tkinter.wantobjects
is now set to2
by default.bpo-40943: Fix several IndexError when parse emails with truncated Message-ID, address, routes, etc, e.g.

bpo-32839: Add the
after_info()
method for Tkinter widgets.
Documentation¶
gh-117928: The minimum Sphinx version required for the documentation is now 6.2.1.
Build¶
gh-118734: Fixes Windows build when invoked directly (not through the
build.bat
script) without specifying a value forUseTIER2
.gh-115119: The
configure
option--with-system-libmpdec
now defaults toyes
. The bundled copy oflibmpdecimal
will be removed in Python 3.15.gh-117845: Fix building against recent libedit versions by detecting readline hook signatures in configure.
gh-116622: A testbed project was added to run the test suite on Android.
gh-117645: Increase WASI stack size from 512 KiB to 8 MiB and the initial memory from 10 MiB to 20 MiB. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-115119: configure now uses pkg-config to detect
decimal
dependencies if the--with-system-libmpdec
option is given.
Windows¶
gh-115119: Update Windows installer to use libmpdecimal 4.0.0.
gh-118486:
os.mkdir()
now accepts mode of0o700
to restrict the new directory to the current user.gh-118347: Fixes launcher updates not being installed.
gh-118293: The
multiprocessing
module now passes theSTARTF_FORCEOFFFEEDBACK
flag when spawning processes to tell Windows not to change the mouse cursor.gh-115009: Update Windows installer to use SQLite 3.45.3.
gh-90329: Suppress the warning displayed on virtual environment creation when the requested and created paths differ only by a short (8.3 style) name. Warnings will continue to be shown if a junction or symlink in the path caused the venv to be created in a different location than originally requested.
gh-117786: Fixes virtual environments not correctly launching when created from a Store install.
macOS¶
gh-115119: Update macOS installer to use libmpdecimal 4.0.0.
gh-114099: iOS preprocessor symbol usage was made compatible with older macOS SDKs.
gh-115009: Update macOS installer to use SQLite 3.45.3.

configs and fish_add_path to setPATH
when installing for the Fish shell.
IDLE¶
bpo-34774: Use user-selected color theme for Help => IDLE Doc.
C API¶
gh-118124: Fix
Py_BUILD_ASSERT
andPy_BUILD_ASSERT_EXPR
for non-constant expressions: usestatic_assert()
on C11 and newer. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-110850: Add “Raw” variant of PyTime functions
Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-117987: Restore functions removed in Python 3.13 alpha 1:

function. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-117534: Improve validation logic in the C implementation of
datetime.datetime.fromisoformat()
to better handle invalid years. Patch by Vlad Efanov.gh-68114: Fixed skipitem()’s handling of the old ‘w’ and ‘w#’ formatters. These are no longer supported and now raise an exception if used.
gh-111997: Add a C-API for firing monitoring events.
Python 3.13.0 alpha 6¶
Release date: 2024-04-09
Core and Builtins¶
gh-117494: Refactored the instruction sequence data structure out of compile.c into instruction_sequence.c.
gh-116968: Introduce a unified 16-bit backoff counter type (
_Py_BackoffCounter
), shared between the Tier 1 adaptive specializer and the Tier 2 optimizer. The API used for adaptive specialization counters is changed but the behavior is (supposed to be) identical.The behavior of the Tier 2 counters is changed:
There are no longer dynamic thresholds (we never varied these).
All counters now use the same exponential backoff.
The counter for
JUMP_BACKWARD
starts counting down from 16.The
temperature
in side exits starts counting down from 64.
gh-117431: Improve the performance of the following
bytes
andbytearray
methods by adapting them to theMETH_FASTCALL
calling convention:endswith()
startswith()
gh-117431: Improve the performance of the following
str
methods by adapting them to theMETH_FASTCALL
calling convention:gh-117411: Move
PyFutureFeatures
to an internal header and make it private.gh-109120: Added handle of incorrect star expressions, e.g
f(3, *)
. Patch by Grigoryev Semyongh-117266: Fix crashes for certain user-created subclasses of
ast.AST
. Such classes are now expected to set the_field_types
attribute.gh-99108: Updated the
hashlib
built-in HACL* project C code from upstream that we use for many implementations when they are not present via OpenSSL in a given build. This also avoids the rare potential for a C symbol name one definition rule linking issue.gh-117108: Change the old space bit of objects in the young generation from 0 to gcstate->visited, so that any objects created during GC will have the old bit set correctly if they get moved into the old generation.
gh-117108: The cycle GC now chooses the size of increments based on the total heap size, instead of the rate of object creation. This ensures that it can keep up with growing heaps.
gh-116735: For
INSTRUMENTED_CALL_FUNCTION_EX
, setarg0
tosys.monitoring.MISSING
instead ofNone
forCALL
event.gh-113964: Starting new threads and process creation through
os.fork()
are now only prevented once all non-daemon threads exit.gh-116626: Ensure
INSTRUMENTED_CALL_FUNCTION_EX
always emitsCALL
gh-116554:
list.sort()
now exploits more cases of partial ordering, particularly those with long descending runs with sub-runs of equal values. Those are recognized as single runs now (previously, each block of repeated values caused a new run to be created).gh-114099: Added a Loader that can discover extension modules in an iOS-style Frameworks folder.
gh-115775: Compiler populates the new
__static_attributes__
field on a class with the names of attributes of this class which are accessed through self.X from any function in its body.gh-115776: The array of values, the
PyDictValues
struct is now embedded in the object during allocation. This provides better performance in the common case, and does not degrade as much when the object’s__dict__
is materialized.gh-108362: Implement an incremental cyclic garbage collector. By collecting the old generation in increments, there is no need for a full heap scan. This can hugely reduce maximum pause time for programs with large heaps.
Reduce the number of generations from three to two. The old generation is split into two spaces, “visited” and “pending”.
Collection happens in two steps:: * An increment is formed from the young generation and a small part of the pending space. * This increment is scanned and the survivors moved to the end of the visited space.
When the collecting space becomes empty, the two spaces are swapped.
gh-109870: Dataclasses now calls
exec()
once per dataclass, instead of once per method being added. This can speed up dataclass creation by up to 20%.bpo-24612: Improve the
SyntaxError
that happens when ‘not’ appears after an operator. Patch by Pablo Galindo
Library¶
gh-117648: Improve performance of
os.path.join()
andos.path.expanduser()
.gh-117584: Raise
TypeError
for non-paths inposixpath.relpath()
.gh-117467: Preserve mailbox ownership when rewriting in

. Patch by Tony Mountifield.gh-114848: Raise
FileNotFoundError
whengetcwd()
returns ‘(unreachable)’, which can happen on Linux >= 2.6.36 with glibc < 2.27.gh-117459:
asyncio.asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe()
now keeps the traceback ofCancelledError
,TimeoutError
andInvalidStateError
which are raised in the coroutine.gh-117381: Fix error message for
ntpath.commonpath()
.gh-117337: Deprecate undocumented
glob.glob0()
andglob.glob1()
functions. Useglob.glob()
and pass a directory to its root_dir argument instead.gh-117348: Refactored
configparser.RawConfigParser._read()
to reduce cyclometric complexity and improve comprehensibility.gh-117335: Raise TypeError for non-sequences for
ntpath.commonpath()
.gh-66449:
configparser.ConfigParser
now accepts unnamed sections before named ones, if configured to do so.gh-88014: In documentation of
gzip.GzipFile
in module gzip, explain data type of optional constructor argument mtime, and recommendmtime = 0
for generating deterministic streams.gh-117310: Fixed an unlikely early & extra
Py_DECREF
triggered crash inssl
when creating a new_ssl._SSLContext
if CPython was built implausibly such that the default cipher list is empty or the SSL library it was linked against reports a failure from its CSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list()
API.gh-117294: A
DocTestCase
now reports as skipped if all examples in the doctest are skipped.gh-98966: In
subprocess
, raise a more informative message whenstdout=STDOUT
.gh-117225: doctest: only print “and X failed” when non-zero, don’t pluralise “1 items”. Patch by Hugo van Kemenade.
gh-117205: Speed up
compileall.compile_dir()
by 20% when using multiprocessing by increasingchunksize
.gh-117178: Fix regression in lazy loading of self-referential modules, introduced in gh-114781.
gh-112383: Fix
dis
module’s handling ofENTER_EXECUTOR
instructions.gh-117182: Lazy-loading of modules that modify their own
__class__
no longer reverts the__class__
totypes.ModuleType
.gh-117084: Fix
zipfile
extraction for directory entries with the name containing backslashes on Windows.gh-117114: Make
os.path.isdevdrive()
available on all platforms. For those that do not offer Dev Drives, it will always returnFalse
.gh-117110: Fix a bug that prevents subclasses of
typing.Any
to be instantiated with arguments. Patch by Chris Fu.gh-109653: Deferred select imports in importlib.metadata and importlib.resources for a 14% speedup.
gh-70647: Start the deprecation period for the current behavior of
datetime.datetime.strptime()
andtime.strptime()
which always fails to parse a date string with aValueError
involving a day of month such asstrptime("02-29", "%m-%d")
when a year is not specified and the date happen to be February 29th. This should help avoid users finding new bugs every four years due to a natural mistaken assumption about the API when parsing partial date values.gh-116987: Fixed
inspect.findsource()
for class code objects.gh-114099: Modify standard library to allow for iOS platform differences.
gh-90872: On Windows,
subprocess.Popen.wait()
no longer callsWaitForSingleObject()
with a negative timeout: pass0
ms if the timeout is negative. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-116957: configparser: Don’t leave ConfigParser values in an invalid state (stored as a list instead of a str) after an earlier read raised DuplicateSectionError or DuplicateOptionError.
gh-115538:
_io.WindowsConsoleIO
now emit a warning if a boolean value is passed as a filedescriptor argument.gh-90095: Ignore empty lines and comments in
.pdbrc
gh-106531: Refreshed zipfile._path from zipp 3.18, providing better compatibility for PyPy, better glob performance for deeply nested zipfiles, and providing internal access to
CompleteDirs.inject
for use in other tests (like importlib.resources).gh-63207: On Windows,
time.time()
now uses theGetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime()
clock to have a resolution better than 1 us, instead of theGetSystemTimeAsFileTime()
clock which has a resolution of 15.6 ms. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-116764: Restore support of
None
and other false values inurllib.parse
functionsparse_qs()
andparse_qsl()
. Also, they now raise a TypeError for non-zero integers and non-empty sequences.gh-116811: In

, any capitalization of the the ACE prefix (xn--
) is now acceptable. Patch by Pepijn de Vos and Zackery Spytz.gh-71042: Add
platform.android_ver()
, which provides device and OS information on Android.gh-73468: Added new
math.fma()
function, wrapping C99’sfma()
operation: fused multiply-add function. Patch by Mark Dickinson and Victor Stinner.gh-116608: The
importlib.resources
functionsis_resource()
,open_binary()
,open_text()
,path()
,read_binary()
, andread_text()
are un-deprecated, and support subdirectories via multiple positional arguments. Thecontents()
function also allows subdirectories, but remains deprecated.gh-116484: Change automatically generated
tkinter.Checkbutton
widget names to avoid collisions with automatically generatedtkinter.ttk.Checkbutton
widget names within the same parent widget.gh-114314: In
ctypes
, ctype data is now stored in type objects directly rather than in a dict subclass. This is an internal change that should not affect usage.gh-116401: Fix blocking
os.fwalk()
andshutil.rmtree()
on opening named pipe.gh-71052: Implement
ctypes.util.find_library()
on Android.gh-90535: Fix support of interval values > 1 in
logging.TimedRotatingFileHandler
forwhen='MIDNIGHT'
andwhen='Wx'
.gh-113308: Remove some internal protected parts from
uuid
:_has_uuid_generate_time_safe
,_netbios_getnode
,_ipconfig_getnode
, and_load_system_functions
. They were unused.gh-115627: Fix the

module error handling of connection terminate by peer. It now throws an OSError with the appropriate error code instead of an EOFError.gh-114847: Speed up
os.path.realpath()
on non-Windows platforms.gh-114271: Fix a race in
threading.Thread.join()
.threading._MainThread
now always represents the main thread of the main interpreter.PyThreadState.on_delete
andPyThreadState.on_delete_data
have been removed.gh-113538: Add
asyncio.Server.close_clients()
andasyncio.Server.abort_clients()
methods which allow to more forcefully close an asyncio server.gh-85287: Changes Unicode codecs to return UnicodeEncodeError or UnicodeDecodeError, rather than just UnicodeError.

bug which caused error when defining dataclasses with slots and a weakref_slot.gh-96471: Add
asyncio.Queue
termination withshutdown()
method.bpo-33533:
asyncio.as_completed()
now returns an object that is both an asynchronous iterator and plain iterator. The new asynchronous iteration pattern allows for easier correlation between prior tasks and their completed results. This is a closer match toconcurrent.futures.as_completed()
’s iteration pattern. Patch by Justin Arthur.bpo-27578:
inspect.getsource()
(and related functions) work with empty module files, returning'\n'
(or reasonable equivalent) instead of raisingOSError
. Patch by Kernc.bpo-37141: Accept an iterable of separators in
asyncio.StreamReader.readuntil()
, stopping when one of them is encountered.gh-66543: Make
mimetypes.guess_type()
properly parsing of URLs with only a host name, URLs containing fragment or query, and filenames with only a UNC sharepoint on Windows. Based on patch by Dong-hee Na.bpo-15010:
unittest.TestLoader.discover()
now saves the original value ofunittest.TestLoader._top_level_dir
and restores it at the end of the call.
Documentation¶
Tests¶
gh-83434: Disable JUnit XML output (
--junit-xml=FILE
command line option) in regrtest when hunting for reference leaks (-R
option). Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-117187: Fix XML tests for vanilla Expat <2.6.0.
gh-116333: Tests of TLS related things (error codes, etc) were updated to be more lenient about specific error message strings and behaviors as seen in the BoringSSL and AWS-LC forks of OpenSSL.
gh-117089: Consolidated tests for importlib.metadata in their own
metadata
package.gh-115979: Update test_importlib so that it passes under WASI SDK 21.

does not remove modules imported during the context. Use it in importlib.resources tests to avoid leavingmod
around to impede importlib.metadata tests.
Build¶
Windows¶
gh-117267: Ensure
DirEntry.stat().st_ctime
behaves consistently withos.stat()
during the deprecation period ofst_ctime
by containing the same value asst_birthtime
. After the deprecation period,st_ctime
will be the metadata change time (or unavailable throughDirEntry
), and onlyst_birthtime
will contain the creation time.gh-116195: Improves performance of
os.getppid()
by using an alternate system API when available. Contributed by vxiiduu.gh-88494: On Windows,
time.monotonic()

libmpdecimal
code to a separately-hosted external package in thecpython-source-deps
repository when building the_decimal
module.
C API¶
gh-87193:
_PyBytes_Resize()
can now be called for bytes objects with reference count > 1, including 1-byte bytes objects. It creates a new bytes object and destroys the old one if it has reference count > 1.gh-117021: Fix integer overflow in
PyLong_AsPid()
on non-Windows 64-bit platforms.gh-115756:

Py_GetConstant()
andPy_GetConstantBorrowed()
functions to get constants. For example,Py_GetConstant(Py_CONSTANT_ZERO)
returns a strong reference to the constant zero. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-111696: Add support for
%T
,%T#
,%N
and%N#
formats toPyUnicode_FromFormat()
: format the fully qualified name of an object type and of a type: callPyType_GetModuleName()
. See PEP 737 for more information. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-111696: Add
PyType_GetModuleName()
function to get the type’s module name. Equivalent to getting thetype.__module__
attribute. Patch by Eric Snow and Victor Stinner.gh-111696: Add
PyType_GetFullyQualifiedName()
function to get the type’s fully qualified name. Equivalent tof"{type.__module__}.{type.__qualname__}"
, ortype.__qualname__

__main__.__spec__
toNone
when running a script withpdb
gh-76511: Fix UnicodeEncodeError in

to pass the call through to the wrapped object to return the real result.gh-115881: Fix issue where
ast.parse()
would incorrectly flag conditional context managers (such aswith (x() if y else z()): ...
) as invalid syntax iffeature_version=(3, 8)
was passed. This reverts changes to the grammar made as part of gh-94949.gh-115886: Fix silent truncation of the name with an embedded null character in
multiprocessing.shared_memory.SharedMemory
.gh-115532: Add kernel density estimation to the statistics module.
gh-115714: On WASI, the
time
module no longer get process time usingtimes()
orCLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID
, system API is that is unreliable and is likely to be removed from WASI. The affected clock functions fall back to callingclock()
.gh-115809: Improve algorithm for computing which rolled-over log files to delete in
logging.TimedRotatingFileHandler
. It is now reliable for handlers withoutnamer
and with arbitrary deterministicnamer

pydoc
no longer skips global functions implemented as builtin methods, such asMethodDescriptorType
andWrapperDescriptorType
.gh-115256: Added DeprecationWarning when accessing the tarfile attribute of TarInfo objects. The attribute is never used internally and is only attached to TarInfos when the tarfile is opened in write-mode, not read-mode. The attribute creates an unnecessary reference cycle which may cause corruption when not closing the handle after writing a tarfile.
gh-115197:
urllib.request
no longer resolves the hostname before checking it against the system’s proxy bypass list on macOS and Windows.gh-113812:

gh-115737: The install name for libPython is now correctly set for non-framework macOS builds.
gh-114099: Makefile targets were added to support compiling an iOS-compatible framework build.
Windows¶
gh-116012: Ensure the value of
GetLastError()
is preserved across GIL operations.gh-115582: Building extensions intended for free-threaded builds of CPython now require compiling with
/DPy_GIL_DISABLED
manually when using a regular install. This is expected to change in future releases.gh-115554: The installer now has more strict rules about updating the Python Launcher for Windows. In general, most users only have a single launcher installed and will see no difference. When multiple launchers have been installed, the option to install the launcher is disabled until all but one have been removed. Downgrading the launcher (which was never allowed) is now more obviously blocked.
gh-115543: Python Launcher for Windows can now detect Python 3.13 when installed from the Microsoft Store, and will install Python 3.12 by default when
PYLAUNCHER_ALLOW_INSTALL
is set.
macOS¶
gh-116145: Update macOS installer to Tcl/Tk 8.6.14.
IDLE¶
gh-88516: On macOS show a proxy icon in the title bar of editor windows to match platform behaviour.

. Patch by Donghee Nagh-114570: Add
PythonFinalizationError
exception. This exception derived fromRuntimeError
is raised when an operation is blocked during the Python finalization. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-114695: Add
sys._clear_internal_caches()
, which clears all internal performance-related caches (and deprecate the less-generalsys._clear_type_cache()
function).gh-114828: Fix compilation crashes in uncommon code examples using
super()
inside a comprehension in a class body.gh-112069: Adapt
set
andfrozenset
methods to Argument Clinic.gh-115011: Setters for members with an unsigned integer type now support the same range of valid values for objects that has a
__index__()
method as forint

chr()
builtin function now always raisesValueError
for values outside the valid range. Previously it raisedOverflowError
for very large or small values.gh-114806: No longer specialize calls to classes, if those classes have metaclasses. Fixes bug where the
__call__
method of the metaclass was not being called.gh-107944: Improve error message for function calls with bad keyword arguments via getargs
gh-112529: The free-threaded build no longer allocates space for the
PyGC_Head
structure in objects that support cyclic garbage collection. A number of other fields and data structures are used as replacements, includingob_gc_bits
,ob_tid
, and mimalloc internal data structures.gh-114456: Lower the recursion limit under a debug build of WASI.
gh-114083: Compiler applies folding of LOAD_CONST with following instruction in a separate pass before other optimisations. This enables jump threading in certain circumstances.
gh-114388: Fix a
RuntimeWarning
emitted when assign an integer-like value that is not an instance ofint
to an attribute that corresponds to a C struct member of type T_UINT and T_ULONG. Fix a doubleRuntimeWarning
emitted when assign a negative integer value to an attribute that corresponds to a C struct member of type T_UINT.gh-114265: Compiler propagates line numbers before optimization, leading to more optimization opportunities and removing the need for the
guarantee_lineno_for_exits
hack.gh-112529: The free-threaded build now has its own thread-safe GC implementation that uses mimalloc to find GC tracked objects. It is non-generational, unlike the existing GC implementation.
gh-114050: Fix segmentation fault caused by an incorrect format string in
TypeError
exception when more than two arguments are passed toint
.gh-112354: The

thread safe when the GIL is disabled.gh-114058: Implement the foundations of the Tier 2 redundancy eliminator.
gh-113939: frame.clear(): Clear frame.f_locals as well, and not only the fast locals. This is relevant once frame.f_locals was accessed, which would contain also references to all the locals.
gh-112050: Convert
collections.deque
to use Argument Clinic.gh-112050: Make methods on
collections.deque
thread-safe when the GIL is disabled.gh-113464: Add an option (
--enable-experimental-jit
forconfigure
-based builds or--experimental-jit
forPCbuild
-based ones) to build an experimental just-in-time compiler, based on copy-and-patchgh-113055: Make interp->obmalloc a pointer. For interpreters that share state with the main interpreter, this points to the same static memory structure. For interpreters with their own obmalloc state, it is heap allocated. Add free_obmalloc_arenas() which will free the obmalloc arenas and radix tree structures for interpreters with their own obmalloc state.
gh-55664: Add warning when creating
type
using a namespace dictionary with non-string keys. Patched by Daniel Urban and Furkan Onder.gh-104530: Use native Win32 condition variables.

.gh-67837: Avoid race conditions in the creation of directories during concurrent extraction in
tarfile
andzipfile
.gh-115060: Speed up
pathlib.Path.glob()
by removing redundant regex matching.gh-97928: Partially revert the behavior of
tkinter.Text.count()
. By default it preserves the behavior of older Python versions, except that settingwantobjects
to 0 no longer has effect. Add a new parameter return_ints: specifyingreturn_ints=True
makesText.count()
always returning the single count as an integer instead of a 1-tuple orNone
.gh-114628: When csv.Error is raised when handling TypeError, do not print the TypeError traceback.
gh-85984: Added
_POSIX_VDISABLE
from C’s<unistd.h>

.gh-114071: Support tuple subclasses using auto() for enum member value.
gh-109475: Fix support of explicit option value “–” in
argparse
(e.g.--option=--
).gh-49766: Fix
date
-datetime
comparison. Now the special comparison methods like__eq__
and__lt__
returnNotImplemented
if one of comparands isdate
and other isdatetime
instead of ignoring the time part and the time zone or forcefully return “not equal” or raiseTypeError
. It makes comparison ofdate
anddatetime
subclasses more symmetric and allows to change the default behavior by overriding the special comparison methods in subclasses.gh-110190: Fix ctypes structs with array on Windows ARM64 platform by setting
MAX_STRUCT_SIZE
to 32 in stgdict. Patch by Diego Russogh-114678: Ensure that deprecation warning for ‘N’ specifier in
Decimal
format is not raised for cases where ‘N’ appears in other places in the format specifier. Based on patch by Stefan Krah.gh-70303: Return both files and directories from
pathlib.Path.glob()
if a pattern ends with “**

andemail.utils
.gh-113280: Fix a leak of open socket in rare cases when error occurred in
ssl.SSLSocket
creation.gh-77749:
email.policy.EmailPolicy.fold()
now always encodes non-ASCII characters in headers ifutf8
is false.gh-83383: Synchronization of the
dbm.dumb
database is now no-op if there was no modification since opening or last synchronization. The directory file for a newly created emptydbm.dumb
database is now created immediately after opening instead of deferring this until synchronizing or closing.gh-91602: Add filter keyword-only parameter to
sqlite3.Connection.iterdump()
for filtering database objects to dump. Patch by Mariusz Felisiak.gh-112451: Prohibit subclassing pure-Python
datetime.timezone
. This is consistent with C-extension implementation. Patch by Mariusz Felisiak.gh-69893: Add the
close()
method for the iterator returned byxml.etree.ElementTree.iterparse()
.gh-109653: Reduce the import time of
threading
module by ~50%. Patch by Daniel Hollas.gh-114492: Make the result of
termios.tcgetattr()
reproducible on Alpine Linux. Previously it could leave a random garbage in some fields.gh-114315: Make

no longer clears the terminal input ICRLF flag. This fixes a regression introduced in 3.12 that no longer matched how OSes define cbreak mode in theirstty(1)
manual pages.gh-114281: Remove type hints from
Lib/asyncio/staggered.py
. The annotations in the typeshed project should be used instead.gh-101438: Avoid reference cycle in ElementTree.iterparse. The iterator returned by
ElementTree.iterparse
may hold on to a file descriptor. The reference cycle prevented prompt clean-up of the file descriptor if the returned iterator was not exhausted.gh-114198: The signature for the

asyncio.Condition.notify()
call does not get lost if the awakenedTask
is simultaneously cancelled or encounters any other error.gh-113951: Fix the behavior of
tag_unbind()
methods oftkinter.Text
andtkinter.Canvas
classes with three arguments. Previously,widget.tag_unbind(tag, sequence, funcid)
destroyed the current binding for sequence, leaving sequence unbound, and deleted the funcid command. Now it removes only funcid from the binding for sequence, keeping other commands, and deletes the funcid command. It leaves sequence unbound only if funcid was the last bound command.gh-97959: Fix rendering class methods, bound methods, method and function aliases in
pydoc
. Class methods no longer have “method of builtins.type instance” note. Corresponding notes are now added for class and unbound methods. Method and function aliases now have references to the module or the class where the origin was defined if it differs from the current. Bound methods are now listed in the static methods section. Methods of builtin classes are now supported as well as methods of Python classes.gh-113796: Add more validation checks in the

.gh-113225: Speed up
pathlib.Path.walk()
by usingos.DirEntry.path
where possible.gh-89039: When replace() method is called on a subclass of datetime, date or time, properly call derived constructor. Previously, only the base class’s constructor was called.
Also, make sure to pass non-zero fold values when creating subclasses in various methods. Previously, fold was silently ignored.

module.gh-43457: Fix the
tkinter
widget methodwm_attributes()
. It now accepts the attribute name without the minus prefix to get window attributes and allows to specify attributes and values to set as keyword arguments. Add new optional keyword argument return_python_dict: callingw.wm_attributes(return_python_dict=True)
returns the attributes as a dict instead of a tuple. Callingw.wm_attributes()
now returns a tuple instead of string if wantobjects was set to 0.gh-82626: Many functions now emit a warning if a boolean value is passed as a file descriptor argument.
gh-111051: Added check for file modification during debugging with

when building for WASI.gh-109991: Update GitHub CI workflows to use OpenSSL 3.0.13 and multissltests to use 1.1.1w, 3.0.13, 3.1.5, and 3.2.1.
gh-115015: Fix a bug in Argument Clinic that generated incorrect code for methods with no parameters that use the METH_METHOD | METH_FASTCALL | METH_KEYWORDS calling convention. Only the positional parameter count was checked; any keyword argument passed would be silently accepted.
C API¶
gh-111140: Adds
PyLong_AsNativeBytes()
,PyLong_FromNativeBytes()
andPyLong_FromUnsignedNativeBytes()
functions.gh-114685:
PyBuffer_FillInfo()
now raises aSystemError
if called withPyBUF_READ
orPyBUF_WRITE
as flags. These flags should only be used with thePyMemoryView_*
C API.gh-114685:
PyObject_GetBuffer()

functions.
Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-112066: Add
PyDict_SetDefaultRef()
: insert a key and value into a dictionary if the key is not already present. This is similar todict.setdefault()
, but returns an integer value indicating if the key was already present. It is also similar toPyDict_SetDefault()
, but returns a strong reference instead of a borrowed reference.
Python 3.13.0 alpha 3¶
Release date: 2024-01-17
Security¶
Core and Builtins¶
gh-107901: Compiler duplicates basic blocks that have an eval breaker check, no line number, and multiple predecessors.
gh-107901: A jump leaving an exception handler back to normal code no longer checks the eval breaker.
gh-113655: Set the C recursion limit to 4000 on Windows, and 10000 on Linux/OSX. This seems to be near the sweet spot to maintain safety, but not compromise backwards compatibility.
gh-113710: Add typed stack effects to the interpreter DSL, along with various instruction annotations.
gh-77046: On Windows, file descriptors wrapping Windows handles are now created non inheritable by default (PEP 446). Patch by Zackery Spytz and Victor Stinner.
gh-113853: Guarantee that all executors make progress. This then guarantees that tier 2 execution always makes progress.
gh-113753: Fix an issue where the finalizer of
PyAsyncGenASend
objects might not be called if they were allocated from a free list.gh-107901: Compiler changed so that synthetic jumps which are not at loop end no longer check the eval breaker.
gh-113703: Fix a regression in the
codeop
module that was causing it to incorrectly identify incomplete f-strings. Patch by Pablo Galindogh-89811: Check for a valid
tp_version_tag
before performing bytecode specializations that rely on this value being usable.gh-111488: Changed error message in case of no ‘in’ keyword after ‘for’ in list comprehensions
gh-113657: Fix an issue that caused important instruction pointer updates to be optimized out of tier two traces.
gh-113603: Fixed bug where a redundant NOP is not removed, causing an assertion to fail in the compiler in debug mode.
gh-113602: Fix an error that was causing the parser to try to overwrite existing errors and crashing in the process. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-113486: No longer issue spurious
PY_UNWIND
events for optimized calls to classes.gh-113297: Fix segfault in the compiler on with statement with 19 context managers.
gh-111375: Only use
NULL
in the exception stack to indicate an exception was handled. Patch by Carey Metcalfe.gh-112215: Increase the C recursion limit by a factor of 3 for non-debug builds, except for webassembly and s390 platforms which are unchanged. This mitigates some regressions in 3.12 with deep recursion mixing builtin (C) and Python code.
gh-113054: Fixed bug where a redundant NOP is not removed, causing an assertion to fail in the compiler in debug mode.
gh-106905: Use per AST-parser state rather than global state to track recursion depth within the AST parser to prevent potential race condition due to simultaneous parsing.
The issue primarily showed up in 3.11 by multithreaded users of
ast.parse()
. In 3.12 a change to when garbage collection can be triggered prevented the race condition from occurring.gh-108866: Change the API and contract of
_PyExecutorObject
to return the next_instr pointer, instead of the frame, and to always execute at least one instruction.gh-112943: Correctly compute end column offsets for multiline tokens in the
tokenize
module. Patch by Pablo Galindogh-112125: Fix
None.__ne__(None)
returningNotImplemented
instead ofFalse
.gh-74616:
input()
now raises a ValueError when output on the terminal if the prompt contains embedded null characters instead of silently truncating it.gh-112716: Fix SystemError in the
import
statement and in__reduce__()
methods of builtin types when__builtins__
is not a dict.gh-112730: Use color to highlight error locations in tracebacks. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-112625: Fixes a bug where a bytearray object could be cleared while iterating over an argument in the
bytearray.join()
method that could result in reading memory after it was freed.gh-112660: Do not clear unexpected errors during formatting error messages for ImportError and AttributeError for modules.
gh-105967: Workaround a bug in Apple’s macOS platform zlib library where
zlib.crc32()
andbinascii.crc32()
could produce incorrect results on multi-gigabyte inputs. Including when usingzipfile
on zips containing large data.gh-95754: Provide a better error message when accessing invalid attributes on partially initialized modules. The origin of the module being accessed is now included in the message to help with the common issue of shadowing other modules.
gh-112217: Add check for the type of
__cause__
returned from calling the typeT
inraise from T
.gh-111058: Change coro.cr_frame/gen.gi_frame to return
None
after the coroutine/generator has been closed. This fixes a bug wheregetcoroutinestate()
andgetgeneratorstate()
return the wrong state for a closed coroutine/generator.gh-112388: Fix an error that was causing the parser to try to overwrite tokenizer errors. Patch by pablo Galindo
gh-112387: Fix error positions for decoded strings with backwards tokenize errors. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-99606: Make code generated for an empty f-string identical to the code of an empty normal string.
gh-112367: Avoid undefined behaviour when using the perf trampolines by not freeing the code arenas until shutdown. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-112320: The Tier 2 translator now tracks the confidence level for staying “on trace” (i.e. not exiting back to the Tier 1 interpreter) for branch instructions based on the number of bits set in the branch “counter”. Trace translation ends when the confidence drops below 1/3rd.
gh-109598:
PyComplex_RealAsDouble()
/PyComplex_ImagAsDouble()
now tries to convert an object to acomplex
instance using its__complex__()
method before falling back to the__float__()
method. Patch by Sergey B Kirpichev.gh-94606: Fix UnicodeEncodeError when
email.message.get_payload()
reads a message with a Unicode surrogate character and the message content is not well-formed for surrogateescape encoding. Patch by Sidney Markowitz.bpo-21861: Use the object’s actual class name in
_io.FileIO.__repr__()
,_io._WindowsConsoleIO()
and_io.TextIOWrapper.__repr__()
, to make these methods subclass friendly.bpo-34392: Added
sys._is_interned()
.

plistlib
now supports loading more deeply nested lists in binary format.gh-114014: Fixed a bug in
fractions.Fraction
where an invalid string usingd
in the decimals part creates a different error compared to other invalid letters/characters. Patch by Jeremiah Gabriel Pascual.gh-108364:
sqlite3.Connection.iterdump()
now ensures that foreign key support is disabled before dumping the database schema, if there is any foreign key violation. Patch by Erlend E. Aasland and Mariusz Felisiak.gh-113971: The
zipfile.ZipInfo
previously protected._compresslevel
attribute has been made public as.compress_level
with the old_compresslevel
name remaining available as a property to retain compatibility.gh-113877: Fix

. All of them aremmap(2)
flags on macOS.gh-113848:
asyncio.TaskGroup()
andasyncio.timeout()
context managers now handleCancelledError
subclasses as well as exactCancelledError
.gh-113661: unittest runner: Don’t exit 5 if tests were skipped. The intention of exiting 5 was to detect issues where the test suite wasn’t discovered at all. If we skipped tests, it was correctly discovered.
gh-96037: Insert
TimeoutError
in the context of the exception that was raised during exiting an expiredasyncio.timeout()
block.gh-113781: Silence unraisable AttributeError when warnings are emitted during Python finalization.
gh-113238: Add
Anchor
toimportlib.resources
(in order for the code to comply with the documentation)gh-111693:
asyncio.Condition.wait()

CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW_APPROX
andCLOCK_UPTIME_RAW_APPROX
totime
on macOS. These are clocks available on macOS 10.12 or later.gh-112932: Restore the ability for
zipfile
toextractall
from zip files with a “/” directory entry in them as is commonly added to zips by some wiki or bug tracker data exporters.gh-113568: Raise deprecation warnings from
pathlib.PurePath
and not its private base classPurePathBase
.gh-113594: Fix
UnicodeEncodeError
inemail
when re-fold lines that contain unknown-8bit encoded part followed by non-unknown-8bit encoded part.gh-113538: In
asyncio.StreamReaderProtocol.connection_made()
, there is callback that logs an error if the task wrapping the “connected callback” fails. This callback would itself fail if the task was cancelled. Prevent this by checking whether the task was cancelled first. If so, close the transport but don’t log an error.gh-113626: Add support for the allow_code argument in the
marshal
module. Passingallow_code=False
prevents serialization and de-serialization of code objects which is incompatible between Python versions.gh-85567: Fix resource warnings for unclosed files in
pickle
andpickletools
command line interfaces.gh-113537: Support loads
str
inplistlib.loads()
.gh-89850: Add default implementations of
pickle.Pickler.persistent_id()
andpickle.Unpickler.persistent_load()
methods in the C implementation. Callingsuper().persistent_id()
andsuper().persistent_load()
in subclasses of the C implementation ofpickle.Pickler
andpickle.Unpickler
classes no longer causes infinite recursion.gh-113569: Indicate if there were no actual calls in unittest
assert_has_calls()
failure.gh-101225: Increase the backlog for
multiprocessing.connection.Listener
objects created bymultiprocessing.manager

to them.gh-113568: Raise audit events from
pathlib.Path
and not its private base classPathBase
.gh-113543: Make sure that
webbrowser.MacOSXOSAScript
sendswebbrowser.open
audit event.gh-113028: When a second reference to a string appears in the input to
pickle
, and the Python implementation is in use, we are guaranteed that a single copy gets pickled and a single object is shared when reloaded. Previously, in protocol 0, when a string contained certain characters (e.g. newline) it resulted in duplicate objects.gh-113421: Fix multiprocessing logger for
%(filename)s
.gh-111784: Fix segfaults in the
_elementtree
module. Fix first segfault during deallocation of_elementtree.XMLParser
instances by keeping strong reference topyexpat
module in module state for capsule lifetime. Fix second segfault which happens in the same deallocation process by keeping strong reference to_elementtree
module inXMLParser
structure for_elementtree
module lifetime.gh-113407: Fix import of
unittest.mock
when CPython is built without docstrings.gh-113320: Fix regression in Python 3.12 where
Protocol
classes that were not marked asruntime-checkable
would be unnecessarily introspected, potentially causing exceptions to be raised if the protocol had problematic members. Patch by Alex Waygood.gh-53502: Add a new option
aware_datetime
inplistlib
to loads or dumps aware datetime.gh-113358: Fix rendering tracebacks with exceptions with a broken __getattr__

instead of hanging or other misbehavior. Patch contributed by Jamie Phan.gh-113225: Speed up
pathlib.Path.glob()
by usingos.DirEntry.path
where possible.gh-113149: Improve error message when a JSON array or object contains a trailing comma. Patch by Carson Radtke.
gh-113117: The
subprocess
module can now use theos.posix_spawn()
function withclose_fds=True
on platforms whereposix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom_np
is available. Patch by Jakub Kulik.gh-113199: Make
http.client.HTTPResponse.read1
andhttp.client.HTTPResponse.readline
close IO after reading all data when content length is known. Patch by Illia Volochii.gh-113191: Add support of
os.fchmod()
and a file descriptor inos.chmod()
on Windows.gh-113188: Fix
shutil.copymode()
andshutil.copystat()
on Windows. Previously they worked differently if dst is a symbolic link: they modified the permission bits of dst itself rather than the file it points to if follow_symlinks is true or src is not a symbolic link, and did not modify the permission bits if follow_symlinks is false and src is a symbolic link.gh-113119:
os.posix_spawn()
now acceptsenv=None
, which makes the newly spawned process use the current process environment. Patch by Jakub Kulik.gh-113202: Add a
strict
option tobatched()
in theitertools
module.gh-61648: Detect line numbers of properties in doctests.

subprocess
on Linux where it would no longer use the fast-pathvfork()
system call when it could have due to a logic bug, instead falling back to the safe but slowerfork()
.Also fixed a second 3.12.0 potential security bug. If a value of
extra_groups=[]
was passed tosubprocess.Popen
or related APIs, the underlyingsetgroups(0, NULL)
system call to clear the groups list would not be made in the child process prior toexec()

is used when expected bysubprocess
on vfork enabled POSIX systems (Linux).gh-108927: Fixed order dependence in running tests in the same process when a test that has submodules (e.g. test_importlib) follows a test that imports its submodule (e.g. test_importlib.util) and precedes a test (e.g. test_unittest or test_compileall) that uses that submodule.
bpo-40648: Test modes that file can get with chmod() on Windows.
Build¶
gh-114013: Fix
Tools/wasm/wasi.py
to not include the path topython.wasm

oparg
andoperand
when needed. Also double the trace size limit again, to 512 this time.gh-111807: Lower the max parser stack depth to 1000 under WASI debug builds.
gh-111798: When Python is built in debug mode, set the C recursion limit to 500 instead of 1500. A debug build is likely built with low optimization level which implies higher stack memory usage than a release build. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-106529: Enable translating unspecialized
FOR_ITER
to Tier 2.gh-111916: Make hashlib related modules thread-safe without the GIL
gh-81137: Deprecate assignment to a function’s

.gh-111623: Add support for sharing tuples between interpreters using the cross-interpreter API. Patch by Anthony Shaw.
gh-111354: The oparg of
YIELD_VALUE
is now1
if the instruction is part of a yield-from or await, and0
otherwise.The SUSPENDED frame state is now split into
SUSPENDED
andSUSPENDED_YIELD_FROM
. This simplifies the code in_PyGen_yf
.gh-111520: Merge the Tier 1 (bytecode) and Tier 2 (micro-ops) interpreters together, moving the Tier 2 interpreter loop and switch into
_PyEval_EvalFrameDefault()
inPython/ceval.c
. ThePython/executor.c
file is gone. Also theTIER_ONE
andTIER_TWO
macros are now handled by the code generator.Beware! This changes the environment variables to enable micro-ops and their debugging to
PYTHON_UOPS
andPYTHON_LLTRACE
.gh-109181: Speed up
Traceback
object creation by lazily compute the line number. Patch by Pablo Galindogh-111420: Allow type comments in parenthesized

that was causingSyntaxError
exceptions raised in the presence of invalid syntax to not contain precise error messages. Patch by Pablo Galindogh-111380: Fix a bug that was causing
SyntaxWarning
to appear twice when parsing if invalid syntax is encountered later. Patch by Pablo galindogh-111374: Added a new environment variable
PYTHON_FROZEN_MODULES
. It determines whether or not frozen modules are ignored by the import machinery, equivalent of the-X frozen_modules
command-line option.gh-111354: Remove
oparg
fromYIELD_VALUE
. Changeoparg
ofRESUME
to include information about the except-depth. These changes make it possible to simplify the code in generator close.gh-94438: Fix a regression that prevented jumping across

--disable-gil
builds.gh-110543: Fix regression in Python 3.12 where
types.CodeType.replace()
would produce a broken code object if called on a module or class code object that contains a comprehension. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.gh-89519: Removed chained
classmethod
descriptors (introduced in bpo-19072). This can no longer be used to wrap other descriptors such asproperty

show_group
parameter totraceback.format_exception_only()
, which allows to formatExceptionGroup
instances.gh-79033: Another attempt at fixing
asyncio.Server.wait_closed()
. It now blocks until both conditions are true: the server is closed, and there are no more active connections. (This means that in some cases where in 3.12.0 this function would incorrectly have returned immediately, it will now block; in particular, when there are no active connections but the server hasn’t been closed yet.)gh-111295: Fix

.gh-108791: Improved error handling in
pdb
command line interface, making it produce more concise error messages.gh-105931: Change
compileall
to only strip the stripdir prefix from the full path recorded in the compiled.pyc
file, when the prefix matches the start of the full path in its entirety. When the prefix does not match, no stripping is performed and a warning to this effect is displayed.Previously all path components of the stripdir prefix that matched the full path were removed, while those that did not match were left alone (including ones interspersed between matching components).
gh-107431: Make the
DictProxy
andListProxy
types inmultiprocessing.managers
Generic Alias Types for[]
use in typing contexts.gh-72904: Add
glob.translate()

,mailbox.Maildir.set_info()
,mailbox.Maildir.get_flags()
,mailbox.Maildir.set_flags()
,mailbox.Maildir.add_flag()
,mailbox.Maildir.remove_flag()
. These methods speed up accessing a message’s info and/or flags and are useful when it is not necessary to access the message’s contents, as when iterating over a Maildir to find messages with specific flags.gh-102956: Fix returning of empty byte strings after seek in zipfile module
gh-102895: Added a parameter
local_exit
forcode.interact()
to preventexit()

.gh-97928: Change the behavior of
tkinter.Text.count()
. It now always returns an integer if one or less counting options are specified. Previously it could return a single count as a 1-tuple, an integer (only if option"update"
was specified) orNone
if no items found. The result is now the same ifwantobjects
is set to0
.gh-96954: Switch the storage of the unicode codepoint names to use a different data-structure, a directed acyclic word graph. This makes the unicodedata shared library about 440 KiB smaller. Contributed by Carl Friedrich Bolz-Tereick using code from the PyPy project.
gh-73561: Omit the interface scope from an IPv6 address when used as Host header by
http.client
.gh-86826:
zipinfo
now supports the full range of values in the TZ string determined by RFC 8536 and detects all invalid formats. Both Python and C implementations now raise exceptions of the same type on invalid data.
Tests¶
gh-111808: Make the default value of
test.support.infinite_recursion()
to be conditional based on whether optimizations were used when compiling the interpreter. This helps with platforms like WASI whose stack size is greatly restricted in debug builds.gh-110722: Gathering line coverage of standard libraries within the regression test suite is now precise, as well as much faster. Patch by Łukasz Langa.
gh-110367: Make regrtest

instance is destroyed.
IDLE¶
bpo-35668: Add docstrings to the IDLE debugger module. Fix two bugs: initialize
Idb.botframe
(should be in Bdb); inIdb.in_rpc_code
, check whetherprev_frame
isNone
before trying to use it. Greatly expand test_debugger.
Tools/Demos¶
gh-111903: Argument Clinic now supports the
@critical_section
directive that instructs Argument Clinic to generate a critical section around the function call, which locks theself

functions: remove a key from a dictionary and optionally return the removed value. This is similar todict.pop()
, but without the default value and not raisingKeyError
if the key missing. Patch by Stefan Behnel and Victor Stinner.gh-111863: Rename
Py_NOGIL
toPy_GIL_DISABLED
. Patch by Hugo van Kemenade.gh-111138: Add
PyList_Extend()

functions: similar to Pythonlist.extend()
andlist.clear()
methods. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108765: On Windows,
Python.h
no longer includes the<stddef.h>
standard header file. If needed, it should now be included explicitly. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-111569: Implement “Python Critical Sections” from PEP 703. These are macros to help replace the GIL with per-object locks in the
--disable-gil
build of CPython. The macros are no-ops in the default build.gh-111506: In the limited C API version 3.13,
Py_SET_REFCNT()
function is now implemented as an opaque function call. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108082: Add

.gh-109587: Introduced
PyUnstable_PerfTrampoline_CompileCode()
,PyUnstable_PerfTrampoline_SetPersistAfterFork()
andPyUnstable_CopyPerfMapFile()
. These functions allow extension modules to initialize trampolines eagerly, after the application is “warmed up”. This makes it possible to have perf-trampolines running in an always-enabled fashion.gh-85283: Add the
PySys_Audit()
function to the limited C API. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-85283: Add
PyMem_RawMalloc()
,PyMem_RawCalloc()

,PyMapping_HasKey()
,PyMapping_HasKeyString()
,PyObject_HasAttr()
,PyObject_HasAttrString()
, andPySys_GetObject()
, which clear all errors occurred during calling the function, report now them usingsys.unraisablehook()
.gh-67565: Remove redundant C-contiguity check in
getargs.c
,binascii
,ssl
and Argument Clinic. Patched by Stefan Krah and Furkan Onder
Python 3.13.0 alpha 1¶
Release date: 2023-10-13
Security¶
gh-108310: Fixed an issue where instances of
ssl.SSLSocket
were vulnerable to a bypass of the TLS handshake and included protections (like certificate verification) and treating sent unencrypted data as if it were post-handshake TLS encrypted data. Security issue reported as CVE-2023-40217 by Aapo Oksman. Patch by Gregory P. Smith.gh-107774: PEP 669 specifies that
sys.monitoring.register_callback
will generate an audit event. Pre-releases of Python 3.12 did not generate the audit event. This is now fixed.gh-102988: Reverted the
email.utils
security improvement change released in 3.12beta4 that unintentionally causedemail.utils.getaddresses
to fail to parse email addresses with a comma in the quoted name field. See gh-106669.gh-99108: Refresh our new HACL* built-in
hashlib
code from upstream. Built-in SHA2 should be faster and an issue with SHA3 on 32-bit platforms is fixed.gh-102509: Start initializing
ob_digit
during creation ofPyLongObject
objects. Patch by Illia Volochii.
Core and Builtins¶
gh-110782: Fix crash when
typing.TypeVar
is constructed with a keyword argument. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.gh-110752: Reset
ceval.eval_breaker
ininterpreter_clear()
gh-110721: Use the
traceback
implementation for the defaultPyErr_Display()
functionality. Patch by Pablo Galindogh-110696: Fix incorrect error message for invalid argument unpacking. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-104169: Split the tokenizer into two separate directories: - One part includes the actual lexeme producing logic and lives in
Parser/lexer
. - The second part wraps the lexer according to the different tokenization modes we have (string, utf-8, file, interactive, readline) and lives inParser/tokenizer
.gh-110688: Remove undocumented
test_c_api
method fromset
, which was only defined for testing purposes underPy_DEBUG
. Now we have proper CAPI tests.gh-104584: Fix a reference leak when running with
PYTHONUOPS
or-X uops
enabled.gh-110514: Add
PY_THROW
tosys.setprofile()
eventsgh-110489: Optimise
math.ceil()
when the input is exactly a float, resulting in about a 10% improvement.gh-110455: Guard
assert(tstate->thread_id > 0)
with#ifndef HAVE_PTHREAD_STUBS
. This allows for for pydebug builds to work under WASI which (currently) lacks thread support.gh-110309: Remove unnecessary empty constant nodes in the ast of f-string specs.
gh-110259: Correctly identify the format spec in f-strings (with single or triple quotes) that have multiple lines in the expression part and include a formatting spec. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-110237: Fix missing error checks for calls to
PyList_Append
in_PyEval_MatchClass
.gh-110164: regrtest: If the
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
environment variable is defined, regrtest now disables tests randomization. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109889: Fix the compiler’s redundant NOP detection algorithm to skip over NOPs with no line number when looking for the next instruction’s lineno.
gh-109853:
sys.path[0]
is now set correctly for subinterpreters.gh-109923: Set line number on the
POP_TOP
that follows aRETURN_GENERATOR
.gh-105716: Subinterpreters now correctly handle the case where they have threads running in the background. Before, such threads would interfere with cleaning up and destroying them, as well as prevent running another script.
gh-109369: The internal eval_breaker and supporting flags, plus the monitoring version have been merged into a single atomic integer to speed up checks.
gh-109823: Fix bug where compiler does not adjust labels when removing an empty basic block which is a jump target.
gh-109793: The main thread no longer exits prematurely when a subinterpreter is cleaned up during runtime finalization. The bug was a problem particularly because, when triggered, the Python process would always return with a 0 exitcode, even if it failed.
gh-109719: Fix missing jump target labels when compiler reorders cold/warm blocks.
gh-109595: Add
-X cpu_count
command line option to override return results ofos.cpu_count()
andos.process_cpu_count()
. This option is useful for users who need to limit CPU resources of a container system without having to modify the container (application code). Patch by Donghee Na.gh-109627: Fix bug where the compiler does not assign a new jump target label to a duplicated small exit block.
gh-109596: Fix some tokens in the grammar that were incorrectly marked as soft keywords. Also fix some repeated rule names and ensure that repeated rules are not allowed. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-109496: On a Python built in debug mode,
Py_DECREF()
now calls_Py_NegativeRefcount()
if the object is a dangling pointer to deallocated memory: memory filled with0xDD
“dead byte” by the debug hook on memory allocators. The fix is to check the reference count before checking for_Py_IsImmortal()
. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-107265: Deopt opcodes hidden by the executor when base opcode is needed
gh-109371: Deopted instructions correctly for tool initialization and modified the incorrect assertion in instrumentation, when a previous tool already sets INSTRUCTION events
gh-105658: Fix bug where the line trace of an except block ending with a conditional includes an excess event with the line of the conditional expression.
gh-109219: Fix compiling type param scopes that use a name which is also free in an inner scope.
gh-109351: Fix crash when compiling an invalid AST involving a named (walrus) expression.
gh-109341: Fix crash when compiling an invalid AST involving a
ast.TypeAlias
.gh-109195: Fix source location for the
LOAD_*
instruction preceding aLOAD_SUPER_ATTR
to load thesuper
global (or shadowing variable) so that it encompasses only the namesuper
and not the following parentheses.gh-109256: Opcode IDs for specialized opcodes are allocated in their own range to improve stability of the IDs for the ‘real’ opcodes.
gh-109207: Fix a SystemError in
__repr__
of symtable entry object.gh-109179: Fix bug where the C traceback display drops notes from
SyntaxError
.gh-109118: Disallow nested scopes (lambdas, generator expressions, and comprehensions) within PEP 695 annotation scopes that are nested within classes.
gh-109156: Add tests for de-instrumenting instructions while keeping the instrumentation for lines
gh-109114: Relax the detection of the error message for invalid lambdas inside f-strings to not search for arbitrary replacement fields to avoid false positives. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-105848: Add a new
CALL_KW
opcode, used for calls containing keyword arguments. Also, fix a possible crash when jumping over method calls in a debugger.gh-109052: Use the base opcode when comparing code objects to avoid interference from instrumentation
gh-109118: Fix interpreter crash when a NameError is raised inside the type parameters of a generic class.
gh-88943: Improve syntax error for non-ASCII character that follows a numerical literal. It now points on the invalid non-ASCII character, not on the valid numerical literal.
gh-108976: Fix crash that occurs after de-instrumenting a code object in a monitoring callback.
gh-108732: Make iteration variables of module- and class-scoped comprehensions visible to pdb and other tools that use
frame.f_locals
again.gh-108959: Fix caret placement for error locations for subscript and binary operations that involve non-semantic parentheses and spaces. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-104584: Fix a crash when running with
PYTHONUOPS
or-X uops
enabled and an error occurs during optimization.gh-108727: Define
tp_dealloc
forCounterOptimizer_Type
. This fixes a segfault on deallocation.gh-108520: Fix
multiprocessing.synchronize.SemLock.__setstate__()
to properly initializemultiprocessing.synchronize.SemLock._is_fork_ctx
. This fixes a regression when passing a SemLock across nested processes.Rename
multiprocessing.synchronize.SemLock.is_fork_ctx
tomultiprocessing.synchronize.SemLock._is_fork_ctx
to avoid exposing it as public API.gh-108654: Restore locals shadowed by an inlined comprehension if the comprehension raises an exception.
gh-108488: Change the initialization of inline cache entries so that the cache entry for
JUMP_BACKWARD
is initialized to zero, instead of theadaptive_counter_warmup()
value used for all other instructions. This counter, unique among instructions, counts up from zero.gh-108716: Turn off deep-freezing of code objects. Modules are still frozen, so that a file system search is not needed for common modules.
gh-108614: Add RESUME_CHECK instruction, to avoid having to handle instrumentation, signals, and contexts switches in the tier 2 execution engine.
gh-108487: Move an assert that would cause a spurious crash in a devious case that should only trigger deoptimization.
gh-106176: Use a
WeakValueDictionary
to track the lists containing the modules each thread is currently importing. This helps avoid a reference leak from keeping the list around longer than necessary. Weakrefs are used as GC can’t interrupt the cleanup.gh-105481: The regen-opcode build stage was removed and its work is now done in regen-cases.
gh-107901: Fix missing line number on
JUMP_BACKWARD
at the end of a for loop.gh-108113: The
compile()
built-in can now accept a new flag,ast.PyCF_OPTIMIZED_AST
, which is similar toast.PyCF_ONLY_AST
except that the returnedAST
is optimized according to the value of theoptimize
argument.ast.parse()
now accepts an optional argumentoptimize
which is passed on to thecompile()
built-in. This makes it possible to obtain an optimizedAST
.gh-107971: Opcode IDs are generated from bytecodes.c instead of being hard coded in opcode.py.
gh-107944: Improve error message for function calls with bad keyword arguments. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-108390: Raise an exception when setting a non-local event (
RAISE
,EXCEPTION_HANDLED
, etc.) insys.monitoring.set_local_events
.Fixes crash when tracing in recursive calls to Python classes.
gh-108035: Remove the
_PyCFrame
struct, moving the pointer to the current interpreter frame back to the threadstate, as it was for 3.10 and earlier. The_PyCFrame
existed as a performance optimization for tracing. Since PEP 669 has been implemented, this optimization no longer applies.gh-91051: Fix abort / segfault when using all eight type watcher slots, on platforms where
char
is signed by default.gh-106581: Fix possible assertion failures and missing instrumentation events when
PYTHONUOPS
or-X uops
is enabled.gh-107526: Revert converting
vars
,dir
,next
,getattr
, anditer
to argument clinic.gh-84805: Autogenerate signature for
METH_NOARGS
andMETH_O
extension functions.gh-107758: Make the
dump_stack()
routine used by thelltrace
feature (low-level interpreter debugging) robust against recursion by ensuring that it never calls a__repr__
method implemented in Python. Also make the similar output for Tier-2 uops appear onstdout
(instead ofstderr
), to match thelltrace
code in ceval.c.gh-107659: Add docstrings for

CALL
is at a consistent position on the stack (regardless of whether or not bound-method-calling optimizations are active).gh-107674: Fixed performance regression in
sys.settrace
.gh-107724: In pre-release versions of 3.12, up to rc1, the sys.monitoring callback function for the
PY_THROW
event was missing the third, exception argument. That is now fixed.gh-84436: Skip reference count modifications for many known immortal objects.
gh-107596: Specialize subscripting
str
objects byint
indexes.gh-107080: Trace refs builds (
--with-trace-refs
) were crashing when used with isolated subinterpreters. The problematic global state has been isolated to each interpreter. Other fixing the crashes, this change does not affect users.gh-107557: Generate the cases needed for the barebones tier 2 abstract interpreter for optimization passes in CPython.

ctypes.c_char_p
,ctypes.c_wchar_p
andctypes.c_void_p
.gh-107263: Increase C recursion limit for functions other than the main interpreter from 800 to 1500. This should allow functions like
list.__repr__
andjson.dumps
to handle all the inputs that they could prior to 3.12gh-104584: Fix an issue which caused incorrect inline caches to be read when running with
PYTHONUOPS
or-X uops
enabled.gh-104432: Fix potential unaligned memory access on C APIs involving returned sequences of

PY_UNIND
callbacks insys.monitoring
. This makes thePY_UNWIND
callback consistent with the other exception handling callbacks.gh-106895: Raise a
ValueError
when a monitoring callback function returnsDISABLE
for events that cannot be disabled locally.gh-106897: Add a
RERAISE
event tosys.monitoring
, which occurs when an exception is reraise, either explicitly by a plainraise
statement, or implicitly in anexcept
orfinally
block.gh-77377: Ensure that multiprocessing synchronization objects created in a fork context are not sent to a different process created in a spawn context. This changes a segfault into an actionable RuntimeError in the parent process.
gh-106931: Statically allocated string objects are now interned globally instead of per-interpreter. This fixes a situation where such a string would only be interned in a single interpreter. Normal string objects are unaffected.
gh-104621: Unsupported modules now always fail to be imported.
gh-107122: Add

.gh-106917: Fix classmethod-style
super()
method calls (i.e., where the second argument tosuper()
, or the implied second argument drawn fromself/cls
in the case of zero-arg super, is a type) when the target of the call is not a classmethod.gh-105699: Python no longer crashes due an infrequent race when initializing per-interpreter interned strings. The crash would manifest when the interpreter was finalized.
gh-105699: Python no longer crashes due to an infrequent race in setting
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding

_PyRuntimeState
that will help out-of-process debuggers and profilers to obtain the offsets to relevant interpreter structures in a way that is agnostic of how Python was compiled and that doesn’t require copying the headers. Patch by Pablo Galindogh-106487: Allow the count argument of
str.replace()
to be a keyword. Patch by Hugo van Kemenade.gh-96844: Improve error message of
list.remove()
. Patch by Donghee Na.gh-81283: Compiler now strips indents from docstrings. It reduces
pyc
file size 5% when the module is heavily documented. This change affects to__doc__
so tools like doctest will be affected.gh-106396: When the format specification of an f-string expression is empty, the parser now generates an empty

gh-104584: Added a new, experimental, tracing optimizer and interpreter (a.k.a. “tier 2”). This currently pessimizes, so don’t use yet – this is infrastructure so we can experiment with optimizing passes. To enable it, pass
-Xuops
or setPYTHONUOPS=1
. To get debug output, setPYTHONUOPSDEBUG=N

BaseExceptionGroup.split()
andBaseExceptionGroup.subgroup()
.gh-105979: Fix crash in
_imp.get_frozen_object()
due to improper exception handling.gh-106003: Add a new
TO_BOOL
instruction, which performs boolean conversions forPOP_JUMP_IF_TRUE
,POP_JUMP_IF_FALSE
, andUNARY_NOT
(which all expect exactbool
values now). Also, modify the oparg ofCOMPARE_OP
to include an optional “boolean conversion” flag.gh-98931: Ensure custom

tokens that are not ambiguous. Patch by Pablo Galindo.gh-105588: Fix an issue that could result in crashes when compiling malformed
ast
nodes.gh-100987: Allow objects other than code objects as the “executable” in internal frames. In the long term, this can help tools like Cython and PySpy interact more efficiently. In the shorter term, it allows us to perform some optimizations more simply.
gh-105375: Fix bugs in the

ParamSpec
list of args intypes.GenericAlias
.gh-105678: Break the
MAKE_FUNCTION
instruction into two parts,MAKE_FUNCTION
which makes the function andSET_FUNCTION_ATTRIBUTE
which sets the attributes on the function. This makes the stack effect ofMAKE_FUNCTION
regular to ease optimization and code generation.gh-105435: Fix spurious newline character if file ends on a comment without a newline. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-105390: Correctly raise
tokenize.TokenError

FORMAT_VALUE
opcode. AddCONVERT_VALUE
,FORMAT_SIMPLE
andFORMAT_WITH_SPEC
opcode. Compiler emits more efficient sequence for each format expression.gh-105229: Remove remaining two-codeunit superinstructions. All remaining superinstructions only take a single codeunit, simplifying instrumentation and quickening.
gh-105235: Prevent out-of-bounds memory access during
mmap.find()
calls.gh-98963: Restore the ability for a subclass of
property
to define__slots__
or otherwise be dict-less by ignoring failures to set a docstring on such a class. This behavior had regressed in 3.12beta1. AnAttributeError
where there had not previously been one was disruptive to existing code.gh-104812: The “pending call” machinery now works for all interpreters, not just the main interpreter, and runs in all threads, not just the main thread. Some calls are still only done in the main thread, ergo in the main interpreter. This change does not affect signal handling nor the existing public C-API (
Py_AddPendingCall()
), which both still only target the main thread. The new functionality is meant strictly for internal use for now, since consequences of its use are not well understood yet outside some very restricted cases. This change brings the capability in line with the intention when the state was made per-interpreter several years ago.gh-105194: Do not escape with backslashes f-string format specifiers. Patch by Pablo Galindo
gh-105229: Replace some dynamic superinstructions with single instruction equivalents.
gh-105162: Fixed bug in generator.close()/throw() where an inner iterator would be ignored when the outer iterator was instrumented.
gh-105164: Ensure annotations are set up correctly if the only annotation in a block is within a
match
block. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.gh-105148: Make
_PyASTOptimizeState
internal to ast_opt.c. Make_PyAST_Optimize
take two integers instead of a pointer to this struct. This avoids the need to include pycore_compile.h in ast_opt.c.gh-104799: Attributes of
ast
nodes that are lists now default to the empty list if omitted. This means that some code that previously raisedTypeError
when the AST node was used will now proceed with the empty list instead. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.gh-105111: Remove the old trashcan macros
Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN
andPy_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END
. They should be replaced by the new macrosPy_TRASHCAN_BEGIN
andPy_TRASHCAN_END
.gh-105035: Fix
super()
calls on types with customtp_getattro
implementation (e.g. meta-types.)gh-105017: Show CRLF lines in the tokenize string attribute in both NL and NEWLINE tokens. Patch by Marta Gómez.

NL
token when parsing files having CRLF lines. Patch by Marta Gómez.gh-104976: Ensure that trailing
DEDENT
tokenize.TokenInfo
objects emitted by thetokenize
module are reported as in Python 3.11. Patch by Pablo Galindogh-104972: Ensure that the
line
attribute intokenize.TokenInfo
objects in thetokenize
module are always correct. Patch by Pablo Galindogh-104955: Fix signature for the new
__release_buffer__()
slot. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.gh-104690: Starting new threads and process creation through
os.fork()
during interpreter shutdown (such as fromatexit
handlers) is no longer supported. It can lead to race condition between the main Python runtime thread freeing thread states while internalthreading
routines are trying to allocate and use the state of just created threads. Or forked children trying to use the mid-shutdown runtime and thread state in the child process.gh-104879: Fix crash when accessing the
__module__
attribute of type aliases defined outside a module. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.gh-104825: Tokens emitted by the
tokenize
module do not include an implicit\n
character in theline
attribute anymore. Patch by Pablo Galindogh-104770: If a generator returns a value upon being closed, the value is now returned by
generator.close()
.gh-89091: Raise
RuntimeWarning
for unawaited async generator methods likeasend()
,athrow()
andaclose()
. Patch by Kumar Aditya.gh-96663: Add a better, more introspect-able error message when setting attributes on classes without a
__dict__
and no slot member for the attribute.gh-93627: Update the Python pickle module implementation to match the C implementation of the pickle module. For objects setting reduction methods like
__reduce_ex__()
or__reduce__()
toNone
, pickling will result in aTypeError
.gh-91095: Specializes calls to most Python classes. Specifically, any class that inherits from
object
, or another Python class, and does not override__new__
.The specialized instruction does the following:
Creates the object (by calling
object.__new__
)Pushes a shim frame to the frame stack (to cleanup after
__init__
)Pushes the frame for
__init__
to the frame stack
Speeds up the instantiation of most Python classes.

by around 13%. Patch by Alex Waygood.gh-109590:
shutil.which()
will prefer files with an extension inPATHEXT
if the given mode includesos.X_OK
on win32. If noPATHEXT
match is found, a file without an extension inPATHEXT
can be returned. This change will haveshutil.which()
act more similarly to previous behavior in Python 3.11.gh-109653: Reduce the import time of
enum
by over 50%. Patch by Alex Waygood.gh-109593: Avoid deadlocking on a reentrant call to the multiprocessing resource tracker. Such a reentrant call, though unlikely, can happen if a GC pass invokes the finalizer for a multiprocessing object such as SemLock.

andPy_NewInterpreterFromConfig()
. Also clarify some of the nearby docs relative to per-interpreter GIL.gh-107008: Document the
curses
module variablesLINES
andCOLS
.gh-106948: Add a number of standard external names to

Tests¶
gh-110647: Fix test_stress_modifying_handlers() of test_signal. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-103053: Fix test_tools.test_freeze on FreeBSD: run “make distclean” instead of “make clean” in the copied source directory to remove also the “python” program. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-110167: Fix a deadlock in test_socket when server fails with a timeout but the client is still running in its thread. Don’t hold a lock to call cleanup functions in doCleanups(). One of the cleanup function waits until the client completes, whereas the client could deadlock if it called addCleanup() in such situation. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-110367: regrtest: When using worker processes (-jN) with –verbose3 option, regrtest can now display the worker output even if a worker process does crash. Previously, sys.stdout and sys.stderr were replaced and so the worker output was lost on a crash. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-110267: Add tests for pickling and copying PyStructSequence objects. Patched by Xuehai Pan.
gh-110171:
libregrtest
now always sets and showsrandom.seed
, so tests are more reproducible. Use--randseed
flag to pass the explicit random seed for tests.gh-110152: Remove
Tools/scripts/run_tests.py
andmake hostrunnertest
. Just run./python -m test --slow-ci
,make buildbottest
ormake test
instead. Python test runner (regrtest) now handles cross-compilation and HOSTRUNNER. It also adds options to Python such fast-u -E -W default -bb
when--fast-ci
or--slow-ci
option is used. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-110031: Skip test_threading tests using thread+fork if Python is built with Address Sanitizer (ASAN). Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-110088: Fix test_asyncio timeouts: don’t measure the maximum duration, a test should not measure a CI performance. Only measure the minimum duration when a task has a timeout or delay. Add
CLOCK_RES
totest_asyncio.utils
. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109974: Fix race conditions in test_threading lock tests. Wait until a condition is met rather than using
time.sleep()
with a hardcoded number of seconds. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-110033: Fix
test_interprocess_signal()
oftest_signal
. Make sure that thesubprocess.Popen
object is deleted before the test raising an exception in a signal handler. Otherwise,Popen.__del__()
can get the exception which is logged asException ignored in: ...
and the test fails. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109594: Fix test_timeout() of test_concurrent_futures.test_wait. Remove the future which may or may not complete depending if it takes longer than the timeout or not. Keep the second future which does not complete before wait() timeout. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-109972: Split test_gdb.py file into a test_gdb package made of multiple tests, so tests can now be run in parallel. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-109566: regrtest: When
--fast-ci
or--slow-ci
option is used, regrtest now replaces the current process with a new process to add-u -W default -bb -E
options to Python. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109748: Fix
test_zippath_from_non_installed_posix()
of test_venv: don’t copy__pycache__/
sub-directories, because they can be modified by other Python tests running in parallel. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109739: regrtest: Fix reference leak check on Windows. Disable the load tracker on Windows in the reference leak check mode (-R option). Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-109276: regrtest: When a test fails with “env changed” and the –rerun option is used, the test is now re-run in verbose mode in a fresh process. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-103053: Skip test_freeze_simple_script() of test_tools.test_freeze if Python is built with
./configure --enable-optimizations
, which means with Profile Guided Optimization (PGO): it just makes the test too slow. The freeze tool is tested by many other CIs with other (faster) compiler flags. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109580: Skip
test_perf_profiler
if Python is built with ASAN, MSAN or UBSAN sanitizer. Python does crash randomly in this test on such build. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109566: regrtest: Add
--fast-ci
and--slow-ci
options.--fast-ci
uses a default timeout of 10 minutes and-u all,-cpu
(skip slowest tests).--slow-ci
uses a default timeout of 20 minutes and-u all
(run all tests). Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109425: libregrtest now decodes stdout of test worker processes with the “backslashreplace” error handler to log corrupted stdout, instead of failing with an error and not logging the stdout. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-109396: Fix
test_socket.test_hmac_sha1()
in FIPS mode. Use a longer key: FIPS mode requires at least of at least 112 bits. The previous key was only 32 bits. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-104736: Fix test_gdb on Python built with LLVM clang 16 on Linux ppc64le (ex: Fedora 38). Search patterns in gdb “bt” command output to detect when gdb fails to retrieve the traceback. For example, skip a test if
Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC
is found. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109276: libregrtest now calls
random.seed()
before running each test file when-r/--randomize
command line option is used. Moreover, it’s also called in worker processes. It should help to make tests more deterministic. Previously, it was only called once in the main process before running all test files and it was not called in worker processes. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109276: libregrtest now uses a separated file descriptor to write test result as JSON. Previously, if a test wrote debug messages late around the JSON, the main test process failed to parse JSON. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-108996: Fix and enable
test_msvcrt
.gh-109237: Fix
test_site.test_underpth_basic()
when the working directory contains at least one non-ASCII character: encode the._pth
file to UTF-8 and enable the UTF-8 Mode to use UTF-8 for the child process stdout. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109230: Fix
test_pyexpat.test_exception()
: it can now be run from a directory different than Python source code directory. Before, the test failed in this case. Skip the test if Modules/pyexpat.c source is not available. Skip also the test on Python implementations other than CPython. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108996: Add tests for
msvcrt
.gh-109015: Fix test_asyncio, test_imaplib and test_socket tests on FreeBSD if the TCP blackhole is enabled (
sysctl net.inet.tcp.blackhole
). Skip the few tests which failed withETIMEDOUT
which such non standard configuration. Currently, the FreeBSD GCP image enables TCP and UDP blackhole (sysctl net.inet.tcp.blackhole=2
andsysctl net.inet.udp.blackhole=1
). Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-91960: Skip
test_gdb
if gdb is unable to retrieve Python frame objects: if a frame is<optimized out>
. When Python is built with “clang -Og”, gdb can fail to retrieve the frame parameter of_PyEval_EvalFrameDefault()
. In this case, tests likepy_bt()
are likely to fail. Without getting access to Python frames,python-gdb.py
is mostly clueless on retrieving the Python traceback. Moreover,test_gdb
is no longer skipped on macOS if Python is built with Clang. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108962: Skip
test_tempfile.test_flags()
ifchflags()
fails with “OSError: [Errno 45] Operation not supported” (ex: on FreeBSD 13). Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-91960: FreeBSD 13.2 CI coverage for pull requests is now provided by Cirrus-CI (a hosted CI service that supports Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD).
gh-89392: Removed support of
test_main()
function in tests. They now always use normal unittest test runner.gh-108851: Fix
test_tomllib
recursion tests for WASI buildbots: reduce the recursion limit and compute the maximum nested array/dict depending on the current available recursion limit. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108851: Add
get_recursion_available()
andget_recursion_depth()
functions to thetest.support
module. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108834: Add
--fail-rerun option
option to regrtest: if a test failed when then passed when rerun in verbose mode, exit the process with exit code 2 (error), instead of exit code 0 (success). Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108834: Rename regrtest
--verbose2
option (-w
) to--rerun
. Keep--verbose2
as a deprecated alias. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108834: When regrtest reruns failed tests in verbose mode (
./python -m test --rerun
), tests are now rerun in fresh worker processes rather than being executed in the main process. If a test does crash or is killed by a timeout, the main process can detect and handle the killed worker process. Tests are rerun in parallel if the-jN
option is used to run tests in parallel. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108822:
regrtest
now computes statistics on all tests: successes, failures and skipped.test_netrc
,test_pep646_syntax
andtest_xml_etree
now return results in theirtest_main()
function. Patch by Victor Stinner and Alex Waygood.gh-108794: The
doctest.DocTestRunner.run()
method now counts the number of skipped tests. Adddoctest.DocTestRunner.skips
anddoctest.TestResults.skipped
attributes. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108388: Convert test_concurrent_futures to a package of 7 sub-tests. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-108388: Split test_multiprocessing_fork, test_multiprocessing_forkserver and test_multiprocessing_spawn into test packages. Each package is made of 4 sub-tests: processes, threads, manager and misc. It allows running more tests in parallel and so reduce the total test duration. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-105776: Fix test_cppext when the C compiler command
-std=c11
option: remove-std=
options from the compiler command. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-107652: Set up CIFuzz to run fuzz targets in GitHub Actions. Patch by Illia Volochii.
gh-107237:
test_logging
: Fixtest_udp_reconnection()
by increasing the timeout from 100 ms to 5 minutes (LONG_TIMEOUT). Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-107178: Add the C API test for functions in the Mapping Protocol, the Sequence Protocol and some functions in the Object Protocol.
gh-106714: test_capi: Fix test_no_FatalError_infinite_loop() to no longer write a coredump, by using test.support.SuppressCrashReport. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-104090: Avoid creating a reference to the test object in
collectedDurations()
.gh-106752: Moved tests for
zipfile.Path
intoLib/test/test_zipfile/_path
. Madezipfile._path
a package.gh-106690: Add .coveragerc to cpython repository for use with coverage package.
gh-101634: When running the Python test suite with
-jN
option, if a worker stdout cannot be decoded from the locale encoding report a failed testn so the exitcode is non-zero. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-105084: When the Python build is configured
--with-wheel-pkg-dir
, tests requiring thesetuptools
andwheel
wheels will search for the wheels inWHEEL_PKG_DIR
.gh-81005: String tests are modified to reflect that
str
andunicode
are merged in Python 3. Patch by Daniel Fortunov.gh-103186: Suppress and assert expected RuntimeWarnings in test_sys_settrace.py
gh-69714: Add additional tests to
calendar
to achieve full test coverage.
Build¶
gh-103053: “make check-clean-src” now also checks if the “python” program is found in the source directory: fail with an error if it does exist. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-109191: Fix compile error when building with recent versions of libedit.
gh-110276: No longer ignore
PROFILE_TASK
failure silently: command used by Profile Guided Optimization (PGO). Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109566: Remove
make testall
target: usemake buildbottest
instead. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109740: The experimental
--disable-gil
configure flag now includes “t” (for “threaded”) in extension ABI tags.gh-109054: Fix building the
_testcapi
extension on Linux AArch64 which requires linking to libatomic when<cpython/pyatomic.h>
is used: the_Py_atomic_or_uint64()
function requires libatomic__atomic_fetch_or_8()
on this platform. The configure script now checks if linking to libatomic is needed and generates a new LIBATOMIC variable used to build the _testcapi extension. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-63760: Fix Solaris build: no longer redefine the
gethostname()
function. Solaris defines the function since 2005. Patch by Victor Stinner, original patch by Jakub Kulík.gh-108740: Fix a race condition in
make regen-all
. Thedeepfreeze.c
source and files generated by Argument Clinic are now generated or updated before generating “global objects”. Previously, some identifiers may miss depending on the order in which these files were generated. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108634: Python built with
configure
--with-trace-refs
(tracing references) is now ABI compatible with Python release build and debug build. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-85283: The
_stat
C extension is now built with the limited C API. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108447: Fix x86_64 GNU/Hurd build
gh-107814: When calling
find_python.bat
with-q
it did not properly silence the output of nuget. That is now fixed.gh-105481: Remove the make target
regen-opcode-targets
, merge its work intoregen-opcode
which repeats most of the calculation. This simplifies the code for the build and reduces code duplication.gh-106881: Check for
linux/limits.h
before including it inModules/posixmodule.c
.gh-95855: Refactor platform triplet detection code and add detection for MIPS soft float and musl libc.
gh-106962: Detect MPI compilers in
configure
.gh-106118: Fix compilation for platforms without
O_CLOEXEC
. The issue was introduced with Python 3.12b1 in gh-103295. Patch by Erlend Aasland.gh-105875: SQLite 3.15.2 or newer is required to build the
sqlite3
extension module. Patch by Erlend Aasland.gh-90005: Fix a regression in
configure
where we could end up unintentionally linking withlibbsd
.gh-102404: Document how to perform a WASI build on Linux. Also add Tools/wasm/build_wasi.sh as a reference implementation of the docs.
gh-89886: Autoconf 2.71 and aclocal 1.16.4 is now required to regenerate
!configure
.gh-104692: Include
commoninstall
as a prerequisite forbininstall
This ensures that
commoninstall
is completed beforebininstall
is started when parallel builds are used (make -j install
), and so thepython3
symlink is only installed after all standard library modules are installed.gh-101538: Add experimental wasi-threads support. Patch by Takashi Yamamoto.
Windows¶
gh-110437: Allows overriding the source of VC redistributables so that releases can be guaranteed to never downgrade between updates.
gh-109286: Update Windows installer to use SQLite 3.43.1.
gh-82367:
os.path.realpath()
now resolves MS-DOS style file names even if the file is not accessible. Patch by Moonsik Park.gh-109991: Update Windows build to use OpenSSL 3.0.11.
gh-106242: Fixes
realpath()
to behave consistently when passed a path containing an embedded null character on Windows. In strict mode, it now raisesOSError
instead of the unexpectedValueError
, and in non-strict mode will make the path absolute.gh-83180: Changes the Python Launcher for Windows to prefer an active virtual environment when the launched script has a shebang line using a Unix-like virtual command, even if the command requests a specific version of Python.
gh-106844: Fix integer overflow and truncating by the null character in
_winapi.LCMapStringEx()
which affectsntpath.normcase()
.gh-105436: Ensure that an empty environment block is terminated by two null characters, as is required by Windows.
gh-105146: Updated the links at the end of the installer to point to Discourse rather than the mailing lists.
gh-103646: When installed from the Microsoft Store,
pip
no longer defaults to per-user installs. However, as the install directory is unwritable, it should automatically decide to do a per-user install anyway. This should resolve issues whenpip
is passed an option that conflicts with--user
.gh-88745: Improve performance of
shutil.copy2()
by using the operating system’sCopyFile2
function. This may result in subtle changes to metadata copied along with some files, bringing them in line with normal OS behavior.gh-104820: Fixes
stat()
and related functions on file systems that do not support file ID requests. This includes FAT32 and exFAT.gh-104803: Add
os.path.isdevdrive()
to detect whether a path is on a Windows Dev Drive. ReturnsFalse
on platforms that do not support Dev Drive, and is absent on non-Windows platforms.
macOS¶
IDLE¶
gh-104719: Remove IDLE’s modification of tokenize.tabsize and test other uses of tokenize data and methods.
Tools/Demos¶
gh-109991: Update GitHub CI workflows to use OpenSSL 3.0.11 and multissltests to use 1.1.1w, 3.0.11, and 3.1.3.
gh-108494: Argument Clinic now has a partial support of the Limited API: see documentation in the Python Developer’s Guide Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-107704: It is now possible to deprecate passing keyword arguments for keyword-or-positional parameters with Argument Clinic, using the new
/ [from X.Y]
syntax. (To be read as “positional-only from Python version X.Y”.) See documentation in the Python Developer’s Guide for more information.gh-107880: Argument Clinic can now clone
__init__()
and__new__()
methods.gh-104683: Add
--exclude
option to Argument Clinic CLI.gh-95065: Argument Clinic now supports overriding automatically generated signature by using directive
@text_signature
. See documentation in the Python Developer’s Guidegh-107609: Fix duplicate module check in Argument Clinic. Previously, a duplicate definition would incorrectly be silently accepted. Patch by Erlend E. Aasland.
gh-107467: The Argument Clinic command-line tool now prints to stderr instead of stdout on failure.
gh-106970: Fix bugs in the Argument Clinic
destination <name> clear
command; the destination buffers would never be cleared, and thedestination
directive parser would simply continue to the fault handler after processing the command. Patch by Erlend E. Aasland.gh-106706: Change bytecode syntax for families to remove redundant name matching pseudo syntax.
gh-106359: Argument Clinic now explicitly forbids “kwarg splats” in function calls used as annotations.
gh-103186:
freeze
now fetchesCONFIG_ARGS
from the original CPython instance the Makefile uses to call utility scripts. Patch by Ijtaba Hussain.gh-95065: It is now possible to deprecate passing parameters positionally with Argument Clinic, using the new
* [from X.Y]
syntax. (To be read as “keyword-only from Python version X.Y”.) See documentation in the Python Developer’s Guide for more information. Patch by Erlend E. Aasland with help from Alex Waygood, Nikita Sobolev, and Serhiy Storchaka.
C API¶
gh-85283: If the
Py_LIMITED_API
macro is defined,Py_BUILD_CORE
,Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN
andPy_BUILD_CORE_MODULE
macros are now undefined by<Python.h>
. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-110289: Add
PyUnicode_EqualToUTF8AndSize()
andPyUnicode_EqualToUTF8()
functions.gh-110235: Raise
TypeError
for duplicate/unknown fields inPyStructSequence
constructor. Patched by Xuehai Pan.gh-110014: Remove undocumented
PY_TIMEOUT_MAX
constant from the limited C API. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-109521:
PyImport_GetImporter()
now sets RuntimeError if it fails to getsys.path_hooks
orsys.path_importer_cache
or they are not list and dict correspondingly. Previously it could return NULL without setting error in obscure cases, crash or raise SystemError if these attributes have wrong type.gh-108724: Add
PyMutex
internal-only lightweight locking API.gh-85283: Add
PySys_AuditTuple()
function: similar toPySys_Audit()
, but pass event arguments as a Pythontuple
object. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108867: Add
PyThreadState_GetUnchecked()
function: similar toPyThreadState_Get()
, but don’t kill the process with a fatal error if it is NULL. The caller is responsible to check if the result is NULL. Previously, the function was private and known as_PyThreadState_UncheckedGet()
. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108765:
Python.h
no longer includes the<ctype.h>
standard header file. If needed, it should now be included explicitly. For example, it providesisalpha()
andtolower()
functions which are locale dependent. Python provides locale independent functions, likePy_ISALPHA()
andPy_TOLOWER()
. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108765:
Python.h
no longer includes the<unistd.h>
standard header file. If needed, it should now be included explicitly. For example, it provides the functions:close()
,getpagesize()
,getpid()
andsysconf()
. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108765:
Python.h
no longer includes the<ieeefp.h>
standard header. It was included for thefinite()
function which is now provided by the<math.h>
header. It should now be included explicitly if needed. Remove also theHAVE_IEEEFP_H
macro. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108765:
Python.h
no longer includes these standard header files:<time.h>
,<sys/select.h>
and<sys/time.h>
. If needed, they should now be included explicitly. For example,<time.h>
provides theclock()
andgmtime()
functions,<sys/select.h>
provides theselect()
function, and<sys/time.h>
provides thefutimes()
,gettimeofday()
andsetitimer()
functions. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108511: Add functions
PyObject_HasAttrWithError()
,PyObject_HasAttrStringWithError()
,PyMapping_HasKeyWithError()
andPyMapping_HasKeyStringWithError()
.gh-107073: Add
PyObject_VisitManagedDict()
andPyObject_ClearManagedDict()
functions which must be called by the traverse and clear functions of a type usingPy_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_DICT
flag. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108634: Python built with
configure
--with-trace-refs
(tracing references) now supports the Limited API. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108014: Add
PyLong_AsInt()
function: similar toPyLong_AsLong()
, but store the result in a C int instead of a C long. Previously, it was known as the private function_PyLong_AsInt()
(with an underscore prefix). Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108314: Add
PyDict_ContainsString()
function: same asPyDict_Contains()
, but key is specified as a const char* UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a PyObject*. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-108337: Add atomic operations on additional data types in pyatomic.h.
gh-108014: Add
Py_IsFinalizing()
function: check if the main Python interpreter is shutting down. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-107916: C API functions
PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename()
,PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilename()
andPyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename()
save now the error code before callingPyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault()
.gh-107915: Such C API functions as
PyErr_SetString()
,PyErr_Format()
,PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename()
and many others no longer crash or ignore errors if it failed to format the error message or decode the filename. Instead, they keep a corresponding error.gh-107810: Improve
DeprecationWarning
for uses ofPyType_Spec
with metaclasses that have customtp_new
.gh-107249: Implement the
Py_UNUSED
macro for Windows MSVC compiler. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-107226:
PyModule_AddObjectRef()
is now only available in the limited API version 3.10 or later.gh-106320: Remove private
_PyUnicode_AsString()
alias toPyUnicode_AsUTF8()
. It was kept for backward compatibility with Python 3.0 - 3.2. ThePyUnicode_AsUTF8()
is available since Python 3.3. ThePyUnicode_AsUTF8String()
function can be used to keep compatibility with Python 3.2 and older. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-106572: Convert
PyObject_DelAttr()
andPyObject_DelAttrString()
macros to functions. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-106307: Add
PyMapping_GetOptionalItem()
function.gh-106521: Add
PyObject_GetOptionalAttr()
andPyObject_GetOptionalAttrString()
functions.gh-106320: Remove
_PyInterpreterState_Get()
alias toPyInterpreterState_Get()
which was kept for backward compatibility with Python 3.8. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-106316: Remove
cpython/pytime.h
header file: it only contained private functions. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-106023: Remove private
_PyObject_FastCall()
function: usePyObject_Vectorcall()
which is available since Python 3.8 (PEP 590). Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-106168: If Python is built in debug mode or
with assertions
,PyTuple_SET_ITEM()
andPyList_SET_ITEM()
now check the index argument with an assertion. If the assertion fails, make sure that the size is set before. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-106084: Remove the old aliases to functions calling functions which were kept for backward compatibility with Python 3.8 provisional API:
_PyObject_CallMethodNoArgs()
: usePyObject_CallMethodNoArgs()
_PyObject_CallMethodOneArg()
: usePyObject_CallMethodOneArg()
_PyObject_CallOneArg()
: usePyObject_CallOneArg()
_PyObject_FastCallDict()
: usePyObject_VectorcallDict()
_PyObject_Vectorcall()
: usePyObject_Vectorcall()
_PyObject_VectorcallMethod()
: usePyObject_VectorcallMethod()
_PyVectorcall_Function()
: usePyVectorcall_Function()
Just remove the underscore prefix to update your code. Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-106004: Adds
PyDict_GetItemRef()
andPyDict_GetItemStringRef()
functions: similar toPyDict_GetItemWithError()
but returning a strong reference instead of a borrowed reference. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-105927: Deprecate the
PyWeakref_GetObject()
andPyWeakref_GET_OBJECT()
functions: use the newPyWeakref_GetRef()
function instead. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-105927: Add
PyWeakref_GetRef()
function: similar toPyWeakref_GetObject()
but returns a strong reference, orNULL
if the referent is no longer live. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-105922: Add
PyImport_AddModuleRef()
: similar toPyImport_AddModule()
, but return a strong reference instead of a borrowed reference. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-105227: The new
PyType_GetDict()
provides the dictionary for the given type object that is normally exposed bycls.__dict__
. Normally it’s sufficient to usetp_dict
, but for the static builtin typestp_dict
is now alwaysNULL
.PyType_GetDict()
provides the correct dict object instead.gh-105375: Fix a bug in
PyErr_WarnExplicit()
where an exception could end up being overwritten if the API failed internally.gh-105603: We’ve renamed the new (in 3.12)
PyInterpreterConfig.own_gil
toPyInterpreterConfig.gil
and changed the meaning of the value from “bool” to an integer with supported values ofPyInterpreterConfig_DEFAULT_GIL
,PyInterpreterConfig_SHARED_GIL
, andPyInterpreterConfig_OWN_GIL
. The default is “shared”.gh-105387: In the limited C API version 3.12,
Py_INCREF()
andPy_DECREF()
functions are now implemented as opaque function calls to hide implementation details. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-105396: Deprecate the
PyImport_ImportModuleNoBlock()
function which is just an alias toPyImport_ImportModule()
since Python 3.3. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-103968:
PyType_FromMetaclass()
now allows metaclasses withtp_new
set toNULL
.gh-105268: Remove the old private, undocumented and untested
_PyGC_FINALIZED()
macro which was kept for backward compatibility with Python 3.8 and older. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-105182: Remove
PyEval_AcquireLock()
andPyEval_ReleaseLock()
functions, deprecated in Python 3.2. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-105182: Remove
PyEval_InitThreads()
andPyEval_ThreadsInitialized()
functions, deprecated in Python 3.9. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-105145: Deprecate old Python initialization functions:
Patch by Victor Stinner.
gh-85275:
PyObject_AsCharBuffer()
,PyObject_AsReadBuffer()
,PyObject_CheckReadBuffer()
, andPyObject_AsWriteBuffer()
are removed. Please migrate to new buffer protocol;PyObject_GetBuffer()
andPyBuffer_Release()
.gh-105156: Deprecate the old
Py_UNICODE
andPY_UNICODE_TYPE
types: use directly thewchar_t
type instead. Since Python 3.3,Py_UNICODE
andPY_UNICODE_TYPE
are just aliases towchar_t
. Patch by Victor Stinner.gh-105145: Remove the following old functions to configure the Python initialization, deprecated in Python 3.11:

gh-105115:
PyTypeObject.tp_bases
(andtp_mro
) for builtin static types are now shared by all interpreters, whereas in 3.12-beta1 they were stored onPyInterpreterState
. Also note that now the tuples are immortal objects.gh-105071: Add
PyUnstable_Exc_PrepReraiseStar
to the unstable C api to expose the implementation ofexcept*
.gh-104922:
PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN
is no longer required to use'#'
formats in APIs likePyArg_ParseTuple()
andPy_BuildValue()
. They usesPy_ssize_t
for'#'
regardlessPY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN
.gh-104584: Add an unstable C API for hooking in an optimizer. This is mainly internal, but marked “unstable” to allow third-party experimentation.
gh-104668: Don’t call
PyOS_InputHook
orPyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer
in subinterpreters, since it’s generally difficult to avoid using global state in their registered callbacks. This also avoids situations where extensions may find themselves running in a subinterpreter they don’t support (or haven’t yet been loaded in).bpo-42327: Add
PyModule_Add()
function: similar toPyModule_AddObjectRef()
andPyModule_AddObject()
, but always steals a reference to the value.bpo-40309: Properly handle trailing spaces before closing parenthesis in
Py_BuildValue()
format strings.
Python 3.12.0 beta 1¶
Release date: 2023-05-22
Security¶
gh-99889: Fixed a security in flaw in
uu.decode()
that could allow for directory traversal based on the input if noout_file
was specified.gh-104049: Do not expose the local on-disk location in directory indexes produced by
http.client.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
.gh-99108: Upgrade built-in
hashlib
SHA3 implementation to a verified implementation from theHACL*
project. Used when OpenSSL is not present or lacks SHA3.gh-102153:
urllib.parse.urlsplit()
now strips leading C0 control and space characters following the specification for URLs defined by WHATWG in response to CVE-2023-24329. Patch by Illia Volochii.
Core and Builtins¶
gh-102856: Implement PEP 701 changes in the
tokenize
module. Patch by Marta Gómez Macías and Pablo Galindo Salgadogh-104615: Fix wrong ordering of assignments in code like
a, a = x, y
. Contributed by Carl Meyer.gh-104572: Improve syntax error message for invalid constructs in PEP 695 contexts and in annotations when
from __future__ import annotations
is active.gh-104482: Fix three error handling bugs in ast.c’s validation of pattern matching statements.
gh-102818: Do not add a frame to the traceback in the
sys.setprofile
andsys.settrace
trampoline functions. This ensures that frames are not duplicated if an exception is raised in the callback function, and ensures that frames are not omitted if a C callback is used and that does not add the frame.gh-104405: Fix an issue where some bytecode instructions could ignore PEP 523 when “inlining” calls.
gh-103082: Change behavior of
sys.monitoring.events.LINE
events insys.monitoring
: Line events now occur when a new line is reached dynamically, instead of using a static approximation, as before. This makes the behavior very similar to that of “line” events insys.settrace
. This should ease porting of tools from 3.11 to 3.12.gh-104263: Fix
float("nan")
to produce a quiet NaN on platforms (like MIPS) where the meaning of the signalling / quiet bit is inverted from its usual meaning. Also introduce a new macroPy_INFINITY
matching C99’sINFINITY
, and refactor internals to rely on C99’sNAN
andINFINITY
macros instead of hard-coding bit patterns for infinities and NaNs. Thanks Sebastian Berg.gh-99113: Multi-phase init extension modules may now indicate that they support running in subinterpreters that have their own GIL. This is done by using
Py_MOD_PER_INTERPRETER_GIL_SUPPORTED
as the value for thePy_mod_multiple_interpreters
module def slot. Otherwise the module, by default, cannot be imported in such subinterpreters. (This does not affect the main interpreter or subinterpreters that do not have their own GIL.) In addition to the isolation that multi-phase init already normally requires, support for per-interpreter GIL involves one additional constraint: thread-safety. If the module has external (linked) dependencies and those libraries have any state that isn’t thread-safe then the module must do the additional work to add thread-safety. This should be an uncommon case.gh-99113: The GIL is now (optionally) per-interpreter. This is the fundamental change for PEP 684. This is all made possible by virtue of the isolated state of each interpreter in the process. The behavior of the main interpreter remains unchanged. Likewise, interpreters created using
Py_NewInterpreter()
are not affected. To get an interpreter with its own GIL, callPy_NewInterpreterFromConfig()
.gh-104108: Multi-phase init extension modules may now indicate whether or not they actually support multiple interpreters. By default such modules are expected to support use in multiple interpreters. In the uncommon case that one does not, it may use the new
Py_mod_multiple_interpreters
module def slot. A value of0
means the module does not support them.1
means it does. The default is1
.gh-104142: Fix an issue where
list
ortuple
repetition could fail to respect PEP 683.gh-104078: Improve the performance of
PyObject_HasAttrString()
gh-104066: Improve the performance of
hasattr()
for module objects with a missing attribute.gh-104028: Reduce object creation while calling callback function from gc. Patch by Donghee Na.
