Nouvelles fonctionnalités¶
PEP 657 : amélioration de l'emplacement des erreurs dans les traces d'appels¶
When printing tracebacks, the interpreter will now point to the exact expression that caused the error, instead of just the line. For example:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "distance.py", line 11, in <module>
print(manhattan_distance(p1, p2))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "distance.py", line 6, in manhattan_distance
return abs(point_1.x - point_2.x) + abs(point_1.y - point_2.y)
^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'x'
Previous versions of the interpreter would point to just the line, making it
ambiguous which object was None
. These enhanced errors can also be helpful
when dealing with deeply nested dict
objects and multiple function calls:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "query.py", line 37, in <module>
magic_arithmetic('foo')
File "query.py", line 18, in magic_arithmetic
return add_counts(x) / 25
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "query.py", line 24, in add_counts
return 25 + query_user(user1) + query_user(user2)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "query.py", line 32, in query_user
return 1 + query_count(db, response['a']['b']['c']['user'], retry=True)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
As well as complex arithmetic expressions:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calculation.py", line 54, in <module>
result = (x / y / z) * (a / b / c)
~~~~~~^~~
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
Additionally, the information used by the enhanced traceback feature is made available via a general API, that can be used to correlate bytecode instructions with source code location. This information can be retrieved using:
la méthode
codeobject.co_positions()
en Python ;The
PyCode_Addr2Location()
function in the C API.
Voir la PEP 657 pour plus de détails (contribution de Pablo Galindo, Batuhan Taskaya et Ammar Askar dans bpo-43950).
Note
This feature requires storing column positions in Objets code,
which may result in a small increase in interpreter memory usage
and disk usage for compiled Python files.
To avoid storing the extra information
and deactivate printing the extra traceback information,
use the -X no_debug_ranges
command line option
or the PYTHONNODEBUGRANGES
environment variable.
PEP 654 : Groupes d'exception et except*
¶
PEP 654 introduces language features that enable a program
to raise and handle multiple unrelated exceptions simultaneously.
The builtin types ExceptionGroup
and BaseExceptionGroup
make it possible to group exceptions and raise them together,
and the new except*
syntax generalizes
except
to match subgroups of exception groups.
Voir PEP 654 pour plus de détails.
(Contributed by Irit Katriel in bpo-45292. PEP written by Irit Katriel, Yury Selivanov and Guido van Rossum.)
PEP 678: Exceptions can be enriched with notes¶
The add_note()
method is added to BaseException
.
It can be used to enrich exceptions with context information
that is not available at the time when the exception is raised.
The added notes appear in the default traceback.
Voir PEP 678 pour plus de détails.

Améliorations du lanceur Windows py.exe
¶
The copy of the Lanceur Python pour Windows included with Python 3.11 has been significantly
updated. It now supports company/tag syntax as defined in PEP 514 using the
-V:<company>/<tag>
argument instead of the limited -<major>.<minor>
.
This allows launching distributions other than PythonCore
,
the one hosted on python.org.
When using -V:
selectors, either company or tag can be omitted, but all
installs will be searched. For example, -V:OtherPython/
will select the
"best" tag registered for OtherPython
, while -V:3.11
or -V:/3.11
will select the "best" distribution with tag 3.11
.
When using the legacy -<major>
, -<major>.<minor>
,
-<major>-<bitness>
or -<major>.<minor>-<bitness>
arguments,
all existing behaviour should be preserved from past versions,
and only releases from PythonCore
will be selected.
However, the -64
suffix now implies "not 32-bit" (not necessarily x86-64),
as there are multiple supported 64-bit platforms.
32-bit runtimes are detected by checking the runtime's tag for a -32
suffix.
All releases of Python since 3.5 have included this in their 32-bit builds.
Autres changements au langage¶
Starred unpacking expressions can now be used in
for
statements. (See bpo-46725 for more details.)Asynchronous comprehensions are now allowed inside comprehensions in asynchronous functions. Outer comprehensions implicitly become asynchronous in this case. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-33346.)
A
TypeError
is now raised instead of anAttributeError
inwith
statements andcontextlib.ExitStack.enter_context()
for objects that do not support the context manager protocol, and inasync with
statements andcontextlib.AsyncExitStack.enter_async_context()
for objects not supporting the asynchronous context manager protocol. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-12022 and bpo-44471.)Added
object.__getstate__()
, which provides the default implementation of the__getstate__()
method.copy
ing andpickle
ing instances of subclasses of builtin typesbytearray
,set
,frozenset
,collections.OrderedDict
,collections.deque
,weakref.WeakSet
, anddatetime.tzinfo
now copies and pickles instance attributes implemented as slots. This change has an unintended side effect: It trips up a small minority of existing Python projects not expectingobject.__getstate__()
to exist. See the later comments on gh-70766 for discussions of what workarounds such code may need. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-26579.)
Added a
-P
command line option and aPYTHONSAFEPATH
environment variable, which disable the automatic prepending tosys.path
of the script's directory when running a script, or the current directory when using-c
and-m
. This ensures only stdlib and installed modules are picked up byimport
, and avoids unintentionally or maliciously shadowing modules with those in a local (and typically user-writable) directory. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-57684.)A
"z"
option was added to the Mini-langage de spécification de format that coerces negative to positive zero after rounding to the format precision. See PEP 682 for more details. (Contributed by John Belmonte in gh-90153.)Bytes are no longer accepted on
sys.path
. Support broke sometime between Python 3.2 and 3.6, with no one noticing until after Python 3.10.0 was released. In addition, bringing back support would be problematic due to interactions between-b
andsys.path_importer_cache
when there is a mixture ofstr
andbytes
keys. (Contributed by Thomas Grainger in gh-91181.)
Autres changements à l'implémentation de CPython¶
The special methods
__complex__()
forcomplex
and__bytes__()
forbytes
are implemented to support thetyping.SupportsComplex
andtyping.SupportsBytes
protocols. (Contributed by Mark Dickinson and Donghee Na in bpo-24234.)siphash13
is added as a new internal hashing algorithm. It has similar security properties assiphash24
, but it is slightly faster for long inputs.str
,bytes
, and some other types now use it as the default algorithm forhash()
. PEP 552 hash-based .pyc files now usesiphash13
too. (Contributed by Inada Naoki in bpo-29410.)When an active exception is re-raised by a
raise
statement with no parameters, the traceback attached to this exception is now alwayssys.exc_info()[1].__traceback__
. This means that changes made to the traceback in the currentexcept
clause are reflected in the re-raised exception. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in bpo-45711.)The interpreter state's representation of handled exceptions (aka
exc_info
or_PyErr_StackItem
) now only has theexc_value
field;exc_type
andexc_traceback
have been removed, as they can be derived fromexc_value
. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in bpo-45711.)A new command line option,
AppendPath
, has been added for the Windows installer. It behaves similarly toPrependPath
, but appends the install and scripts directories instead of prepending them. (Contributed by Bastian Neuburger in bpo-44934.)The
PyConfig.module_search_paths_set
field must now be set to1
for initialization to usePyConfig.module_search_paths
to initializesys.path
. Otherwise, initialization will recalculate the path and replace any values added tomodule_search_paths
.The output of the
--help
option now fits in 50 lines/80 columns. Information about Python environment variables and-X
options is now available using the respective--help-env
and--help-xoptions
flags, and with the new--help-all
. (Contributed by Éric Araujo in bpo-46142.)Converting between
int
andstr
in bases other than 2 (binary), 4, 8 (octal), 16 (hexadecimal), or 32 such as base 10 (decimal) now raises aValueError
if the number of digits in string form is above a limit to avoid potential denial of service attacks due to the algorithmic complexity. This is a mitigation for CVE 2020-10735. This limit can be configured or disabled by environment variable, command line flag, orsys
APIs. See the integer string conversion length limitation documentation. The default limit is 4300 digits in string form.
Nouveaux modules¶
Modules améliorés¶
asyncio
¶
Added the
TaskGroup
class, an asynchronous context manager holding a group of tasks that will wait for all of them upon exit. For new code this is recommended over usingcreate_task()
andgather()
directly. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov and others in gh-90908.)Added
timeout()
, an asynchronous context manager for setting a timeout on asynchronous operations. For new code this is recommended over usingwait_for()
directly. (Contributed by Andrew Svetlov in gh-90927.)Added the
Runner
class, which exposes the machinery used byrun()
. (Contributed by Andrew Svetlov in gh-91218.)Added the
Barrier
class to the synchronization primitives in the asyncio library, and the relatedBrokenBarrierError
exception. (Contributed by Yves Duprat and Andrew Svetlov in gh-87518.)Added keyword argument all_errors to
asyncio.loop.create_connection()
so that multiple connection errors can be raised as anExceptionGroup
.Added the
asyncio.StreamWriter.start_tls()
method for upgrading existing stream-based connections to TLS. (Contributed by Ian Good in bpo-34975.)Added raw datagram socket functions to the event loop:
sock_sendto()
,sock_recvfrom()
andsock_recvfrom_into()
. These have implementations inSelectorEventLoop
andProactorEventLoop
. (Contributed by Alex Grönholm in bpo-46805.)Added
cancelling()
anduncancel()
methods toTask
. These are primarily intended for internal use, notably byTaskGroup
.
contextlib¶
dataclasses
¶
datetime¶
Add
datetime.UTC
, a convenience alias fordatetime.timezone.utc
. (Contributed by Kabir Kwatra in gh-91973.)datetime.date.fromisoformat()
,datetime.time.fromisoformat()
anddatetime.datetime.fromisoformat()
can now be used to parse most ISO 8601 formats (barring only those that support fractional hours and minutes). (Contributed by Paul Ganssle in gh-80010.)
enum¶
Renamed
EnumMeta
toEnumType
(EnumMeta
kept as an alias).Added
StrEnum
, with members that can be used as (and must be) strings.Added
ReprEnum
, which only modifies the__repr__()
of members while returning their literal values (rather than names) for__str__()
and__format__()
(used bystr()
,format()
and f-strings).Changed
Enum.__format__()
(the default forformat()
,str.format()
and f-strings) to always produce the same result asEnum.__str__()
: for enums inheriting fromReprEnum
it will be the member's value; for all other enums it will be the enum and member name (e.g.Color.RED
).Added a new boundary class parameter to
Flag
enums and theFlagBoundary
enum with its options, to control how to handle out-of-range flag values.Added the
verify()
enum decorator and theEnumCheck
enum with its options, to check enum classes against several specific constraints.Added the
member()
andnonmember()
decorators, to ensure the decorated object is/is not converted to an enum member.Added the
property()
decorator, which works likeproperty()
except for enums. Use this instead oftypes.DynamicClassAttribute()
.Added the
global_enum()
enum decorator, which adjusts__repr__()
and__str__()
to show values as members of their module rather than the enum class. For example,'re.ASCII'
for theASCII
member ofre.RegexFlag
rather than'RegexFlag.ASCII'
.Enhanced
Flag
to supportlen()
, iteration andin
/not in
on its members. For example, the following now works:len(AFlag(3)) == 2 and list(AFlag(3)) == (AFlag.ONE, AFlag.TWO)
Changed
Enum
andFlag
so that members are now defined before__init_subclass__()
is called;dir()
now includes methods, etc., from mixed-in data types.Changed
Flag
to only consider primary values (power of two) canonical while composite values (3
,6
,10
, etc.) are considered aliases; inverted flags are coerced to their positive equivalent.
fcntl
¶
On FreeBSD, the
F_DUP2FD
andF_DUP2FD_CLOEXEC
flags respectively are supported, the former equals todup2
usage while the latter set theFD_CLOEXEC
flag in addition.
fractions
¶
Prise en charge de l'initialisation de
Fraction
à partir d'une chaîne suivant le style de la PEP 515 (contribution de Sergey B Kirpichev dans bpo-44258).Fraction
implémente maintenant la méthode__int__
, ce qui permet au testisinstance(ma_fraction, typing.SupportsInt)
de passer avec succès (contribution de Mark Dickinson dans bpo-44547).
functools¶
functools.singledispatch()
now supportstypes.UnionType
andtyping.Union
as annotations to the dispatch argument.:>>> from functools import singledispatch >>> @singledispatch ... def fun(arg, verbose=False): ... if verbose: ... print("Let me just say,", end=" ") ... print(arg) ... >>> @fun.register ... def _(arg: int | float, verbose=False): ... if verbose: ... print("Strength in numbers, eh?", end=" ") ... print(arg) ... >>> from typing import Union >>> @fun.register ... def _(arg: Union[list, set], verbose=False): ... if verbose: ... print("Enumerate this:") ... for i, elem in enumerate(arg): ... print(i, elem) ...
(Contributed by Yurii Karabas in bpo-46014.)
gzip¶
The
gzip.compress()
function is now faster when used with the mtime=0 argument as it delegates the compression entirely to a singlezlib.compress()
operation. There is one side effect of this change: The gzip file header contains an "OS" byte in its header. That was traditionally always set to a value of 255 representing "unknown" by thegzip
module. Now, when usingcompress()
with mtime=0, it may be set to a different value by the underlying zlib C library Python was linked against. (See gh-112346 for details on the side effect.)
hashlib¶
hashlib.blake2b()
andhashlib.blake2s()
now prefer libb2 over Python's vendored copy. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-47095.)The internal
_sha3
module with SHA3 and SHAKE algorithms now uses tiny_sha3 instead of the Keccak Code Package to reduce code and binary size. Thehashlib
module prefers optimized SHA3 and SHAKE implementations from OpenSSL. The change affects only installations without OpenSSL support. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-47098.)Add
hashlib.file_digest()
, a helper function for efficient hashing of files or file-like objects. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in gh-89313.)
IDLE
et idlelib
¶
inspect
¶
Add
getmembers_static()
to return all members without triggering dynamic lookup via the descriptor protocol. (Contributed by Weipeng Hong in bpo-30533.)Add
ismethodwrapper()
for checking if the type of an object is aMethodWrapperType
. (Contributed by Hakan Çelik in bpo-29418.)Change the frame-related functions in the
inspect
module to return newFrameInfo
andTraceback
class instances (backwards compatible with the previous named tuple-like interfaces) that includes the extended PEP 657 position information (end line number, column and end column). The affected functions are:(Contributed by Pablo Galindo in gh-88116.)
locale¶
Add
locale.getencoding()
to get the current locale encoding. It is similar tolocale.getpreferredencoding(False)
but ignores the Python UTF-8 Mode.
logging¶
Added
getLevelNamesMapping()
to return a mapping from logging level names (e.g.'CRITICAL'
) to the values of their corresponding Niveaux de journalisation (e.g.50
, by default). (Contributed by Andrei Kulakovin in gh-88024.)Added a
createSocket()
method toSysLogHandler
, to matchSocketHandler.createSocket()
. It is called automatically during handler initialization and when emitting an event, if there is no active socket. (Contributed by Kirill Pinchuk in gh-88457.)
math
¶
Ajout de
math.exp2()
: renvoie 2 élevé à la puissancex
(contribution de Gideon Mitchell dans bpo-45917).Ajout de
math.cbrt()
: renvoie la racine cubique dex
(contribution d'Ajith Ramachandran dans bpo-44357).Le comportement de
math.pow()
dans deux cas particuliers a été changé pour être cohérent avec la spécification IEEE 754. Les opérationsmath.pow(0.0, -math.inf)
etmath.pow(-0.0, -math.inf)
renvoient maintenantinf
. Elles levaient précédemmentValueError
(contribution de Mark Dickinson dans bpo-44339).La valeur
math.nan
est maintenant toujours disponible (contribution de Victor Stinner dans bpo-46917).
operator
¶
A new function
operator.call
has been added, such thatoperator.call(obj, *args, **kwargs) == obj(*args, **kwargs)
. (Contributed by Antony Lee in bpo-44019.)
os
¶
On Windows,
os.urandom()
now usesBCryptGenRandom()
, instead ofCryptGenRandom()
which is deprecated. (Contributed by Donghee Na in bpo-44611.)
pathlib¶
re
¶
Le groupement atomique (
(?>...)
) et les quantificateurs possessifs (*+
,++
,?+
,{m,n}+
) sont maintenant pris en charge dans les expressions régulières (contribution de Jeffrey C. Jacobs et de Serhiy Storchaka dans bpo-433030).
shutils
¶
Ajout du paramètre optionnel dir_fd dans
shutil.rmtree()
(contribution de Serhiy Storchaka dans bpo-46245).
socket
¶
Add CAN Socket support for NetBSD. (Contributed by Thomas Klausner in bpo-30512.)
create_connection()
has an option to raise, in case of failure to connect, anExceptionGroup
containing all errors instead of only raising the last error. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in bpo-29980.)
sqlite3
¶
You can now disable the authorizer by passing
None
toset_authorizer()
. (Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in bpo-44491.)Collation name
create_collation()
can now contain any Unicode character. Collation names with invalid characters now raiseUnicodeEncodeError
instead ofsqlite3.ProgrammingError
. (Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in bpo-44688.)sqlite3
exceptions now include the SQLite extended error code assqlite_errorcode
and the SQLite error name assqlite_errorname
. (Contributed by Aviv Palivoda, Daniel Shahaf, and Erlend E. Aasland in bpo-16379 and bpo-24139.)Ajout des méthodes
setlimit()
etgetlimit()
à la classesqlite3.Connection
pour affecter et demander les limites de SQLite pour une connexion (contribution d'Erlend E. Aasland dans bpo-45243).sqlite3
affecte maintenantsqlite3.threadsafety
selon le mode d'exécution à fils multiples (threading en anglais) par défaut qui a été compilé dans la bibliothèque SQLite sous-jacente (contribution d'Erlend E. Aasland dans bpo-45613).sqlite3
C callbacks now use unraisable exceptions if callback tracebacks are enabled. Users can now register anunraisable hook handler
to improve their debug experience. (Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in bpo-45828.)Fetch across rollback no longer raises
InterfaceError
. Instead we leave it to the SQLite library to handle these cases. (Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in bpo-44092.)Add
serialize()
anddeserialize()
tosqlite3.Connection
for serializing and deserializing databases. (Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in bpo-41930.)Add
create_window_function()
tosqlite3.Connection
for creating aggregate window functions. (Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in bpo-34916.)Add
blobopen()
tosqlite3.Connection
.sqlite3.Blob
allows incremental I/O operations on blobs. (Contributed by Aviv Palivoda and Erlend E. Aasland in bpo-24905.)
string¶
Add
get_identifiers()
andis_valid()
tostring.Template
, which respectively return all valid placeholders, and whether any invalid placeholders are present. (Contributed by Ben Kehoe in gh-90465.)
sys
¶
sys.exc_info()
now derives thetype
andtraceback
fields from thevalue
(the exception instance), so when an exception is modified while it is being handled, the changes are reflected in the results of subsequent calls toexc_info()
. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in bpo-45711.)Ajout de
sys.exception()
qui renvoie l'instance de l'exception active (équivalent àsys.exc_info()[1]
) (contribution d'Irit Katriel dans bpo-46328).Add the
sys.flags.safe_path
flag. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-57684.)
sysconfig
¶
Three new installation schemes (posix_venv, nt_venv and venv) were added and are used when Python creates new virtual environments or when it is running from a virtual environment. The first two schemes (posix_venv and nt_venv) are OS-specific for non-Windows and Windows, the venv is essentially an alias to one of them according to the OS Python runs on. This is useful for downstream distributors who modify
sysconfig.get_preferred_scheme()
. Third party code that creates new virtual environments should use the new venv installation scheme to determine the paths, as doesvenv
. (Contributed by Miro Hrončok in bpo-45413.)
tempfile¶
SpooledTemporaryFile
objects now fully implement the methods ofio.BufferedIOBase
orio.TextIOBase
(depending on file mode). This lets them work correctly with APIs that expect file-like objects, such as compression modules. (Contributed by Carey Metcalfe in gh-70363.)
threading
¶
On Unix, if the
sem_clockwait()
function is available in the C library (glibc 2.30 and newer), thethreading.Lock.acquire()
method now uses the monotonic clock (time.CLOCK_MONOTONIC
) for the timeout, rather than using the system clock (time.CLOCK_REALTIME
), to not be affected by system clock changes. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-41710.)
time
¶
Sur Unix,
time.sleep()
utilise maintenant une des fonctionsclock_nanosleep()
ounanosleep()
, quand elles sont disponibles, qui ont une résolution de 1 nanoseconde (10-9 secondes), plutôt que d'utiliserselect()
qui a une résolution de 1 microseconde (10-6 secondes) (contribution de Benjamin Szőke et de Victor Stinner dans bpo-21302).On Windows 8.1 and newer,
time.sleep()
now uses a waitable timer based on high-resolution timers which has a resolution of 100 nanoseconds (10-7 seconds). Previously, it had a resolution of 1 millisecond (10-3 seconds). (Contributed by Benjamin Szőke, Donghee Na, Eryk Sun and Victor Stinner in bpo-21302 and bpo-45429.)
tkinter¶
Added method
info_patchlevel()
which returns the exact version of the Tcl library as a named tuple similar tosys.version_info
. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-91827.)
traceback¶
Add
traceback.StackSummary.format_frame_summary()
to allow users to override which frames appear in the traceback, and how they are formatted. (Contributed by Ammar Askar in bpo-44569.)Add
traceback.TracebackException.print()
, which prints the formattedTracebackException
instance to a file. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in bpo-33809.)
typing¶
Pour les modifications majeures, voir Nouvelles fonctionnalités reliées aux indications de types.
Add
typing.assert_never()
andtyping.Never
.typing.assert_never()
is useful for asking a type checker to confirm that a line of code is not reachable. At runtime, it raises anAssertionError
. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-90633.)Add
typing.reveal_type()
. This is useful for asking a type checker what type it has inferred for a given expression. At runtime it prints the type of the received value. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-90572.)Add
typing.assert_type()
. This is useful for asking a type checker to confirm that the type it has inferred for a given expression matches the given type. At runtime it simply returns the received value. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-90638.)typing.TypedDict
types can now be generic. (Contributed by Samodya Abeysiriwardane in gh-89026.)NamedTuple
types can now be generic. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-43923.)Allow subclassing of
typing.Any
. This is useful for avoiding type checker errors related to highly dynamic class, such as mocks. (Contributed by Shantanu Jain in gh-91154.)The
typing.final()
decorator now sets the__final__
attributed on the decorated object. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-90500.)The
typing.get_overloads()
function can be used for introspecting the overloads of a function.typing.clear_overloads()
can be used to clear all registered overloads of a function. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-89263.)The
__init__()
method ofProtocol
subclasses is now preserved. (Contributed by Adrian Garcia Badarasco in gh-88970.)The representation of empty tuple types (
Tuple[()]
) is simplified. This affects introspection, e.g.get_args(Tuple[()])
now evaluates to()
instead of((),)
. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-91137.)Loosen runtime requirements for type annotations by removing the callable check in the private
typing._type_check
function. (Contributed by Gregory Beauregard in gh-90802.)typing.get_type_hints()
now supports evaluating strings as forward references in PEP 585 generic aliases. (Contributed by Niklas Rosenstein in gh-85542.)typing.get_type_hints()
no longer addsOptional
to parameters withNone
as a default. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-90353.)typing.get_type_hints()
now supports evaluating bare stringifiedClassVar
annotations. (Contributed by Gregory Beauregard in gh-90711.)typing.no_type_check()
no longer modifies external classes and functions. It also now correctly marks classmethods as not to be type checked. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-90729.)
unicodedata
¶
The Unicode database has been updated to version 14.0.0. (Contributed by Benjamin Peterson in bpo-45190).
unittest¶
Added methods
enterContext()
andenterClassContext()
of classTestCase
, methodenterAsyncContext()
of classIsolatedAsyncioTestCase
and functionunittest.enterModuleContext()
. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-45046.)
venv
¶
When new Python virtual environments are created, the venv sysconfig installation scheme is used to determine the paths inside the environment. When Python runs in a virtual environment, the same installation scheme is the default. That means that downstream distributors can change the default sysconfig install scheme without changing behavior of virtual environments. Third party code that also creates new virtual environments should do the same. (Contributed by Miro Hrončok in bpo-45413.)
warnings¶
warnings.catch_warnings()
now accepts arguments forwarnings.simplefilter()
, providing a more concise way to locally ignore warnings or convert them to errors. (Contributed by Zac Hatfield-Dodds in bpo-47074.)
zipfile
¶

Optimisations¶
This section covers specific optimizations independent of the Faster CPython project, which is covered in its own section.
The compiler now optimizes simple printf-style % formatting on string literals containing only the format codes
%s
,%r
and%a
and makes it as fast as a corresponding f-string expression. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-28307.)Integer division (
//
) is better tuned for optimization by compilers. It is now around 20% faster on x86-64 when dividing anint
by a value smaller than2**30
. (Contributed by Gregory P. Smith and Tim Peters in gh-90564.)sum()
is now nearly 30% faster for integers smaller than2**30
. (Contributed by Stefan Behnel in gh-68264.)Resizing lists is streamlined for the common case, speeding up
list.append()
by ≈15% and simple list comprehensions by up to 20-30% (Contributed by Dennis Sweeney in gh-91165.)Dictionaries don't store hash values when all keys are Unicode objects, decreasing
dict
size. For example,sys.getsizeof(dict.fromkeys("abcdefg"))
is reduced from 352 bytes to 272 bytes (23% smaller) on 64-bit platforms. (Contributed by Inada Naoki in bpo-46845.)Using
asyncio.DatagramProtocol
is now orders of magnitude faster when transferring large files over UDP, with speeds over 100 times higher for a ≈60 MiB file. (Contributed by msoxzw in gh-91487.)math
functionscomb()
andperm()
are now ≈10 times faster for large arguments (with a larger speedup for larger k). (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-37295.)The
statistics
functionsmean()
,variance()
andstdev()
now consume iterators in one pass rather than converting them to alist
first. This is twice as fast and can save substantial memory. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in gh-90415.)unicodedata.normalize()
now normalizes pure-ASCII strings in constant time. (Contributed by Donghee Na in bpo-44987.)
Faster CPython¶
CPython 3.11 is an average of 25% faster than CPython 3.10 as measured with the pyperformance benchmark suite, when compiled with GCC on Ubuntu Linux. Depending on your workload, the overall speedup could be 10-60%.
This project focuses on two major areas in Python: Faster Startup and Faster Runtime. Optimizations not covered by this project are listed separately under Optimisations.
Faster Startup¶
Frozen imports / Static code objects¶
Python caches bytecode in the __pycache__ directory to speed up module loading.
Previously in 3.10, Python module execution looked like this:
Read __pycache__ -> Unmarshal -> Heap allocated code object -> Evaluate
In Python 3.11, the core modules essential for Python startup are "frozen". This means that their Objets code (and bytecode) are statically allocated by the interpreter. This reduces the steps in module execution process to:
Statically allocated code object -> Evaluate
Le lancement de l'interpréteur est 10 à 15 % plus rapide dans la version 3.11. Cela a un grand impact pour les programmes courts utilisant Python.
(Contributed by Eric Snow, Guido van Rossum and Kumar Aditya in many issues.)
Faster Runtime¶
Cheaper, lazy Python frames¶
Python frames, holding execution information, are created whenever Python calls a Python function. The following are new frame optimizations:
Streamlined the frame creation process.
Avoided memory allocation by generously re-using frame space on the C stack.
Streamlined the internal frame struct to contain only essential information. Frames previously held extra debugging and memory management information.
Old-style frame objects
are now created only when requested by debuggers
or by Python introspection functions such as sys._getframe()
and
inspect.currentframe()
. For most user code, no frame objects are
created at all. As a result, nearly all Python functions calls have sped
up significantly. We measured a 3-7% speedup in pyperformance.
(Contributed by Mark Shannon in bpo-44590.)
Inlined Python function calls¶
During a Python function call, Python will call an evaluating C function to interpret that function's code. This effectively limits pure Python recursion to what's safe for the C stack.
In 3.11, when CPython detects Python code calling another Python function, it sets up a new frame, and "jumps" to the new code inside the new frame. This avoids calling the C interpreting function altogether.
Most Python function calls now consume no C stack space, speeding them up.
In simple recursive functions like fibonacci or
factorial, we observed a 1.7x speedup. This also means recursive functions
can recurse significantly deeper
(if the user increases the recursion limit with sys.setrecursionlimit()
).
We measured a 1-3% improvement in pyperformance.
(Contributed by Pablo Galindo and Mark Shannon in bpo-45256.)
PEP 659: Specializing Adaptive Interpreter¶
PEP 659 is one of the key parts of the Faster CPython project. The general idea is that while Python is a dynamic language, most code has regions where objects and types rarely change. This concept is known as type stability.
At runtime, Python will try to look for common patterns and type stability in the executing code. Python will then replace the current operation with a more specialized one. This specialized operation uses fast paths available only to those use cases/types, which generally outperform their generic counterparts. This also brings in another concept called inline caching, where Python caches the results of expensive operations directly in the bytecode.
The specializer will also combine certain common instruction pairs into one superinstruction, reducing the overhead during execution.
Python will only specialize when it sees code that is "hot" (executed multiple times). This prevents Python from wasting time on run-once code. Python can also de-specialize when code is too dynamic or when the use changes. Specialization is attempted periodically, and specialization attempts are not too expensive, allowing specialization to adapt to new circumstances.
(PEP written by Mark Shannon, with ideas inspired by Stefan Brunthaler. See PEP 659 for more information. Implementation by Mark Shannon and Brandt Bucher, with additional help from Irit Katriel and Dennis Sweeney.)

Misc¶
Objects now require less memory due to lazily created object namespaces. Their namespace dictionaries now also share keys more freely. (Contributed Mark Shannon in bpo-45340 and bpo-40116.)
"Zero-cost" exceptions are implemented, eliminating the cost of
try
statements when no exception is raised. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in bpo-40222.)A more concise representation of exceptions in the interpreter reduced the time required for catching an exception by about 10%. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in bpo-45711.)
re
's regular expression matching engine has been partially refactored, and now uses computed gotos (or "threaded code") on supported platforms. As a result, Python 3.11 executes the pyperformance regular expression benchmarks up to 10% faster than Python 3.10. (Contributed by Brandt Bucher in gh-91404.)
FAQ¶
How should I write my code to utilize these speedups?¶
Write Pythonic code that follows common best practices; you don't have to change your code. The Faster CPython project optimizes for common code patterns we observe.
Will CPython 3.11 use more memory?¶
Maybe not; we don't expect memory use to exceed 20% higher than 3.10. This is offset by memory optimizations for frame objects and object dictionaries as mentioned above.
I don't see any speedups in my workload. Why?¶
Certain code won't have noticeable benefits. If your code spends most of its time on I/O operations, or already does most of its computation in a C extension library like NumPy, there won't be significant speedups. This project currently benefits pure-Python workloads the most.
Furthermore, the pyperformance figures are a geometric mean. Even within the pyperformance benchmarks, certain benchmarks have slowed down slightly, while others have sped up by nearly 2x!
Is there a JIT compiler?¶
No. We're still exploring other optimizations.
À propos¶
Faster CPython explores optimizations for CPython. The main team is funded by Microsoft to work on this full-time. Pablo Galindo Salgado is also funded by Bloomberg LP to work on the project part-time. Finally, many contributors are volunteers from the community.
Changements au code intermédiaire CPython¶
The bytecode now contains inline cache entries,
which take the form of the newly-added CACHE
instructions.
Many opcodes expect to be followed by an exact number of caches,
and instruct the interpreter to skip over them at runtime.
Populated caches can look like arbitrary instructions,
so great care should be taken when reading or modifying
raw, adaptive bytecode containing quickened data.
New opcodes¶
ASYNC_GEN_WRAP
,RETURN_GENERATOR
andSEND
, used in generators and co-routines.COPY_FREE_VARS
, which avoids needing special caller-side code for closures.JUMP_BACKWARD_NO_INTERRUPT
, for use in certain loops where handling interrupts is undesirable.MAKE_CELL
, to create Objets Cellules.CHECK_EG_MATCH
andPREP_RERAISE_STAR
, to handle the new exception groups and except* added in PEP 654.PUSH_EXC_INFO
, for use in exception handlers.RESUME
, a no-op, for internal tracing, debugging and optimization checks.

Changements à la compilation¶
CPython now has PEP 11 Tier 3 support for cross compiling to the WebAssembly platforms Emscripten (
wasm32-unknown-emscripten
, i.e. Python in the browser) and WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) (wasm32-unknown-wasi
). The effort is inspired by previous work like Pyodide. These platforms provide a limited subset of POSIX APIs; Python standard libraries features and modules related to networking, processes, threading, signals, mmap, and users/groups are not available or don't work. (Emscripten contributed by Christian Heimes and Ethan Smith in gh-84461 and WASI contributed by Christian Heimes in gh-90473; platforms promoted in gh-95085)Building CPython now requires:

Nouvelles fonctionnalités¶
Add a new
PyType_GetName()
function to get type's short name. (Contributed by Hai Shi in bpo-42035.)Add a new
PyType_GetQualName()
function to get type's qualified name. (Contributed by Hai Shi in bpo-42035.)Add new
PyThreadState_EnterTracing()
andPyThreadState_LeaveTracing()
functions to the limited C API to suspend and resume tracing and profiling. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-43760.)Added the
Py_Version
constant which bears the same value asPY_VERSION_HEX
. (Contributed by Gabriele N. Tornetta in bpo-43931.)Py_buffer
and APIs are now part of the limited API and the stable ABI:bf_getbuffer
andbf_releasebuffer
type slots
(Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-45459.)
Added the
PyType_GetModuleByDef()
function, used to get the module in which a method was defined, in cases where this information is not available directly (viaPyCMethod
). (Contributed by Petr Viktorin in bpo-46613.)Add new functions to pack and unpack C double (serialize and deserialize):
PyFloat_Pack2()
,PyFloat_Pack4()
,PyFloat_Pack8()
,PyFloat_Unpack2()
,PyFloat_Unpack4()
andPyFloat_Unpack8()
. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-46906.)Add new functions to get frame object attributes:
PyFrame_GetBuiltins()
,PyFrame_GetGenerator()
,PyFrame_GetGlobals()
,PyFrame_GetLasti()
.Added two new functions to get and set the active exception instance:
PyErr_GetHandledException()
andPyErr_SetHandledException()
. These are alternatives toPyErr_SetExcInfo()
andPyErr_GetExcInfo()
which work with the legacy 3-tuple representation of exceptions. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in bpo-46343.)Added the
PyConfig.safe_path
member. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-57684.)
Portage vers Python 3.11¶
Some macros have been converted to static inline functions to avoid macro pitfalls. The change should be mostly transparent to users, as the replacement functions will cast their arguments to the expected types to avoid compiler warnings due to static type checks. However, when the limited C API is set to >=3.11, these casts are not done, and callers will need to cast arguments to their expected types. See PEP 670 for more details. (Contributed by Victor Stinner and Erlend E. Aasland in gh-89653.)
PyErr_SetExcInfo()
no longer uses thetype
andtraceback
arguments, the interpreter now derives those values from the exception instance (thevalue
argument). The function still steals references of all three arguments. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in bpo-45711.)PyErr_GetExcInfo()
now derives thetype
andtraceback
fields of the result from the exception instance (thevalue
field). (Contributed by Irit Katriel in bpo-45711.)_frozen
has a newis_package
field to indicate whether or not the frozen module is a package. Previously, a negative value in thesize
field was the indicator. Now only non-negative values be used forsize
. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in bpo-46608.)_PyFrameEvalFunction()
now takes_PyInterpreterFrame*
as its second parameter, instead ofPyFrameObject*
. See PEP 523 for more details of how to use this function pointer type.PyCode_New()
andPyCode_NewWithPosOnlyArgs()
now take an additionalexception_table
argument. Using these functions should be avoided, if at all possible. To get a custom code object: create a code object using the compiler, then get a modified version with thereplace
method.PyCodeObject
no longer has theco_code
,co_varnames
,co_cellvars
andco_freevars
fields. Instead, usePyCode_GetCode()
,PyCode_GetVarnames()
,PyCode_GetCellvars()
andPyCode_GetFreevars()
respectively to access them via the C API. (Contributed by Brandt Bucher in bpo-46841 and Ken Jin in gh-92154 and gh-94936.)The old trashcan macros (
Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN
/Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END
) are now deprecated. They should be replaced by the new macrosPy_TRASHCAN_BEGIN
andPy_TRASHCAN_END
.A tp_dealloc function that has the old macros, such as:
static void mytype_dealloc(mytype *p) { PyObject_GC_UnTrack(p); Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN(p); ... Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END }
should migrate to the new macros as follows:
static void mytype_dealloc(mytype *p) { PyObject_GC_UnTrack(p); Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN(p, mytype_dealloc) ... Py_TRASHCAN_END }
Note that
Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN
has a second argument which should be the deallocation function it is in.To support older Python versions in the same codebase, you can define the following macros and use them throughout the code (credit: these were copied from the
mypy
codebase):#if PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x03080000 # define CPy_TRASHCAN_BEGIN(op, dealloc) Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN(op, dealloc) # define CPy_TRASHCAN_END(op) Py_TRASHCAN_END #else # define CPy_TRASHCAN_BEGIN(op, dealloc) Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN(op) # define CPy_TRASHCAN_END(op) Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END(op) #endif
The
PyType_Ready()
function now raises an error if a type is defined with thePy_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC
flag set but has no traverse function (PyTypeObject.tp_traverse
). (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-44263.)Heap types with the
Py_TPFLAGS_IMMUTABLETYPE
flag can now inherit the PEP 590 vectorcall protocol. Previously, this was only possible for static types. (Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in bpo-43908)Since
Py_TYPE()
is changed to a inline static function,Py_TYPE(obj) = new_type
must be replaced withPy_SET_TYPE(obj, new_type)
: see thePy_SET_TYPE()
function (available since Python 3.9). For backward compatibility, this macro can be used:#if PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x030900A4 && !defined(Py_SET_TYPE) static inline void _Py_SET_TYPE(PyObject *ob, PyTypeObject *type) { ob->ob_type = type; } #define Py_SET_TYPE(ob, type) _Py_SET_TYPE((PyObject*)(ob), type) #endif
(contribution de Victor Stinner dans bpo-39573).
Since
Py_SIZE()
is changed to a inline static function,Py_SIZE(obj) = new_size
must be replaced withPy_SET_SIZE(obj, new_size)
: see thePy_SET_SIZE()
function (available since Python 3.9). For backward compatibility, this macro can be used:#if PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x030900A4 && !defined(Py_SET_SIZE) static inline void _Py_SET_SIZE(PyVarObject *ob, Py_ssize_t size) { ob->ob_size = size; } #define Py_SET_SIZE(ob, size) _Py_SET_SIZE((PyVarObject*)(ob), size) #endif
(contribution de Victor Stinner dans bpo-39573).
<Python.h>
no longer includes the header files<stdlib.h>
,<stdio.h>
,<errno.h>
and<string.h>
when thePy_LIMITED_API
macro is set to0x030b0000
(Python 3.11) or higher. C extensions should explicitly include the header files after#include <Python.h>
. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-45434.)The non-limited API files
cellobject.h
,classobject.h
,code.h
,context.h
,funcobject.h
,genobject.h
andlongintrepr.h
have been moved to theInclude/cpython
directory. Moreover, theeval.h
header file was removed. These files must not be included directly, as they are already included inPython.h
: Include Files. If they have been included directly, consider includingPython.h
instead. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-35134.)The
PyUnicode_CHECK_INTERNED()
macro has been excluded from the limited C API. It was never usable there, because it used internal structures which are not available in the limited C API. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-46007.)The following frame functions and type are now directly available with
#include <Python.h>
, it's no longer needed to add#include <frameobject.h>
:(Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-93937.)
The
PyFrameObject
structure members have been removed from the public C API.While the documentation notes that the
PyFrameObject
fields are subject to change at any time, they have been stable for a long time and were used in several popular extensions.In Python 3.11, the frame struct was reorganized to allow performance optimizations. Some fields were removed entirely, as they were details of the old implementation.
PyFrameObject
fields:f_back
: usePyFrame_GetBack()
.f_blockstack
: removed.f_builtins
: usePyFrame_GetBuiltins()
.f_code
: usePyFrame_GetCode()
.f_gen
: usePyFrame_GetGenerator()
.f_globals
: usePyFrame_GetGlobals()
.f_iblock
: removed.f_lasti
: usePyFrame_GetLasti()
. Code usingf_lasti
withPyCode_Addr2Line()
should usePyFrame_GetLineNumber()
instead; it may be faster.f_lineno
: usePyFrame_GetLineNumber()
f_locals
: usePyFrame_GetLocals()
.f_stackdepth
: removed.f_state
: no public API (renamed tof_frame.f_state
).f_trace
: no public API.f_trace_lines
: usePyObject_GetAttrString((PyObject*)frame, "f_trace_lines")
.f_trace_opcodes
: usePyObject_GetAttrString((PyObject*)frame, "f_trace_opcodes")
.f_localsplus
: no public API (renamed tof_frame.localsplus
).f_valuestack
: removed.
The Python frame object is now created lazily. A side effect is that the
f_back
member must not be accessed directly, since its value is now also computed lazily. ThePyFrame_GetBack()
function must be called instead.Debuggers that accessed the
f_locals
directly must callPyFrame_GetLocals()
instead. They no longer need to callPyFrame_FastToLocalsWithError()
orPyFrame_LocalsToFast()
, in fact they should not call those functions. The necessary updating of the frame is now managed by the virtual machine.Code defining
PyFrame_GetCode()
on Python 3.8 and older:#if PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x030900B1 static inline PyCodeObject* PyFrame_GetCode(PyFrameObject *frame) { Py_INCREF(frame->f_code); return frame->f_code; } #endif
Code defining
PyFrame_GetBack()
on Python 3.8 and older:#if PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x030900B1 static inline PyFrameObject* PyFrame_GetBack(PyFrameObject *frame) { Py_XINCREF(frame->f_back); return frame->f_back; } #endif
Or use the pythoncapi_compat project to get these two functions on older Python versions.
Changes of the
PyThreadState
structure members:frame
: removed, usePyThreadState_GetFrame()
(function added to Python 3.9 by bpo-40429). Warning: the function returns a strong reference, need to callPy_XDECREF()
.tracing
: changed, usePyThreadState_EnterTracing()
andPyThreadState_LeaveTracing()
(functions added to Python 3.11 by bpo-43760).recursion_depth
: removed, use(tstate->recursion_limit - tstate->recursion_remaining)
instead.stackcheck_counter
: removed.
Code defining
PyThreadState_GetFrame()
on Python 3.8 and older:#if PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x030900B1 static inline PyFrameObject* PyThreadState_GetFrame(PyThreadState *tstate) { Py_XINCREF(tstate->frame); return tstate->frame; } #endif
Code defining
PyThreadState_EnterTracing()
andPyThreadState_LeaveTracing()
on Python 3.10 and older:#if PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x030B00A2 static inline void PyThreadState_EnterTracing(PyThreadState *tstate) { tstate->tracing++; #if PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x030A00A1 tstate->cframe->use_tracing = 0; #else tstate->use_tracing = 0; #endif } static inline void PyThreadState_LeaveTracing(PyThreadState *tstate) { int use_tracing = (tstate->c_tracefunc != NULL || tstate->c_profilefunc != NULL); tstate->tracing--; #if PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x030A00A1 tstate->cframe->use_tracing = use_tracing; #else tstate->use_tracing = use_tracing; #endif } #endif
Or use the pythoncapi-compat project to get these functions on old Python functions.
Distributors are encouraged to build Python with the optimized Blake2 library libb2.
The
PyConfig.module_search_paths_set
field must now be set to 1 for initialization to usePyConfig.module_search_paths
to initializesys.path
. Otherwise, initialization will recalculate the path and replace any values added tomodule_search_paths
.PyConfig_Read()
no longer calculates the initial search path, and will not fill any values intoPyConfig.module_search_paths
. To calculate default paths and then modify them, finish initialization and usePySys_GetObject()
to retrievesys.path
as a Python list object and modify it directly.
Obsolescence¶
Deprecate the following functions to configure the Python initialization:
PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
PySys_AddWarnOption()
PySys_AddXOption()
PySys_HasWarnOptions()
PySys_SetArgvEx()
PySys_SetArgv()
PySys_SetPath()
Py_SetPath()
Py_SetProgramName()
Py_SetPythonHome()
Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
_Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Use the new
PyConfig
API of the Python Initialization Configuration instead (PEP 587). (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-88279.)Deprecate the
ob_shash
member of thePyBytesObject
. UsePyObject_Hash()
instead. (Contributed by Inada Naoki in bpo-46864.)
Pending Removal in Python 3.12¶
The following C APIs have been deprecated in earlier Python releases, and will be removed in Python 3.12.
PyUnicode_AS_DATA()
PyUnicode_AS_UNICODE()
PyUnicode_AsUnicodeAndSize()
PyUnicode_AsUnicode()
PyUnicode_FromUnicode()

Py_OVERFLOWED()
Py_SET_ERANGE_IF_OVERFLOW()
Py_SET_ERRNO_ON_MATH_ERROR()
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-45412.)
Remove
Py_UNICODE_COPY()
andPy_UNICODE_FILL()
macros, deprecated since Python 3.3. UsePyUnicode_CopyCharacters()
ormemcpy()
(wchar_t*
string), andPyUnicode_Fill()
functions instead. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-41123.)Remove the
pystrhex.h
header file. It only contains private functions. C extensions should only include the main<Python.h>
header file. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-45434.)Remove the
Py_FORCE_DOUBLE()
macro. It was used by thePy_IS_INFINITY()
macro. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-45440.)The following items are no longer available when
Py_LIMITED_API
is defined:the
Py_MARSHAL_VERSION
macro
These are not part of the limited API.
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-45474.)
Exclude
PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT()
from the limited C API. It never worked since thePyWeakReference
structure is opaque in the limited C API. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-35134.)Remove the
PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS()
macro. It was exposed in the public C API by mistake, it must only be used by Python internally. Use thePyTypeObject.tp_members
member instead. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-40170.)Remove the
HAVE_PY_SET_53BIT_PRECISION
macro (moved to the internal C API). (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-45412.)
Remove the
Py_UNICODE
encoder APIs, as they have been deprecated since Python 3.3, are little used and are inefficient relative to the recommended alternatives.The removed functions are:
PyUnicode_Encode()
PyUnicode_EncodeASCII()
PyUnicode_EncodeLatin1()
PyUnicode_EncodeUTF7()
PyUnicode_EncodeUTF8()
PyUnicode_EncodeUTF16()
PyUnicode_EncodeUTF32()
PyUnicode_EncodeUnicodeEscape()

Notable changes in 3.11.4¶
tarfile¶
The extraction methods in
tarfile
, andshutil.unpack_archive()
, have a new a filter argument that allows limiting tar features than may be surprising or dangerous, such as creating files outside the destination directory. See Extraction filters for details. In Python 3.12, use without the filter argument will show aDeprecationWarning
. In Python 3.14, the default will switch to'data'
. (Contributed by Petr Viktorin in PEP 706.)
Notable changes in 3.11.5¶
OpenSSL¶
Windows builds and macOS installers from python.org now use OpenSSL 3.0.
