## 新しい機能

### PEP 649 と PEP 749: アノテーションの遅延評価

関数、クラス、モジュールの アノテーション が先行評価されなくなりました。代わりに、アノテーションは専用の annotate 関数 に格納され、必要になったときのみ評価されるようになります (`from __future__ import annotations` を使用している場合を除く)。

この変更により、Pythonのアノテーションのパフォーマンスと使いやすさがほとんどの状況で向上します。アノテーションを定義することで発生する実行コストはほとんどなくなりましたが、実行中にアノテーションを値として取得することは依然として可能です。また、アノテーションに前方参照が含まれている場合に、クォーテーションで囲って文字列にする必要はなくなりました。

新しく追加された `annotationlib` モジュールを使うことで、遅延評価となったアノテーションを取得することができます。アノテーションの評価フォーマットとして、 `VALUE` (以前のPythonバージョンと同様に、アノテーションの実行時の値を評価する) `FORWARDREF` (未定義の名前を特別なマーカーに置き換える) `STRING` (アノテーションを文字列として返す) があります。

各フォーマットの挙動は以下の例の通りです：

    >>> from annotationlib import get_annotations, Format
    >>> def func(arg: Undefined):
    ...     pass
    >>> get_annotations(func, format=Format.VALUE)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      ...
    NameError: name 'Undefined' is not defined
    >>> get_annotations(func, format=Format.FORWARDREF)
    {'arg': ForwardRef('Undefined', owner=<function func at 0x...>)}
    >>> get_annotations(func, format=Format.STRING)
    {'arg': 'Undefined'}

この変更により既存コードでどのような修正が必要になる可能性があるかを 移植 セクションで説明しています。ただし、ほとんどのコードでは修正は不要です。

### PEP 734: 複数インタープリタ機能が標準ライブラリに追加

CPython ランタイムでは、同じプロセスの中で複数の Python 環境を実行する機能が20年以上存在します。この各環境は「インタープリタ」といいます。しかしこの機能は C-API 経由でしか利用できませんでした。

Python 3.14 で `concurrent.interpreters` モジュールが追加されたことにより、この制限がなくなりました。

複数インタープリタを利用することで得られる大きな利点が２つあります：

- (Python としては新しい) 使いやすい並行実行モデル

- マルチコアを活用した真の並列実行

並行実行は、原理的には実行効率が上がったり設計を単純化できる用途がある一方で、非常に単純な並行実行でない限り、人間にとって実装や保守が難しいことが多いです。特に、OSレベルのスレッドを直接使用する場合は (例えば `threading`)、メモリがすべてのスレッド間で共有されるため、複雑になります。

互いに独立した複数インタープリタを使用することで、 Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) やアクターモデルといった、他言語 (Smalltalk、Erlang、Haskell、Go など) で成功している並行実行モデルを取り入れることができます。複数インタープリタは、ユーザーが明示的にメモリ共有をするスレッドとみなすことができます。

マルチコアの並列実行については、Python 3.12 で、インタープリタは並列実行できるレベルにお互いに隔離されるようになりました (参照： PEP 684) 。これにより、 GIL の制限がなくなり、様々な CPU バウンドな用途に Python を用いることができるようになります。

複数インタープリタは、デフォルトでメモリ共有がされない点や、隔離された論理的な「プロセス」が並列に動作するという点で、 `multiprocessing` と類似しています。しかし、複数インタープリタを使うことで、システムのリソースを節約でき、処理効率もあがります (同じプロセスに存在するため) 。スレッドの処理効率とプロセス的な隔離を両立している、と考えられます。

複数インタープリタの機能は何十年も存在していましたが、認知度が低く、標準ライブラリモジュールがないことから、あまり使用されていませんでした。そのため、いくつか大きな制限事項がありますが、メイン機能になったことで今後大きく改善していくと思われます。

現状の制限事項：

- インタープリタの起動処理がまだ最適化されていない

- インタープリタのメモリ使用量が必要以上に大きい (インタープリタ間で内部リソースをできるだけ共有するよう改善中)

- インタープリタ間でオブジェクトなどのデータを真の意味で共有する方法がまだ少ない (`memoryview` 以外)

- PyPI 上のサードパーティ拡張モジュールの多くが複数インタープリタに対応していない (標準ライブラリの拡張モジュールはすべて対応)

- Python 利用者はまだ複数インタープリタを使ったアプリケーション開発に慣れていない人が多い

今後 CPython がどう改善していくか、インタープリタがどう使われるか、PyPI パッケージでどこまで解決できるようになるかによって、以上の制限事項の影響度合いは変わります。用途によっては、影響は少ないかもしれません。ぜひ使ってみてください！

さらに、今後の CPython のバージョンで、オーバーヘッドは少なくなり、 PyPI パッケージとして実装するには向かない補助機能が追加される予定です。それまでの間、上記の制限事項のほとんどは拡張モジュールを作ることで解消できるので、今の時点で PyPI パッケージによって穴埋めすることもできます。これは 3.14 から 3.12 (インタープリタが隔離が完全になり、 GIL の共有がなくなったバージョン) まで可能です。同様に、インタープリタをさらに抽象化するライブラリも PyPI に現れると予想されます。

拡張モジュールの対応については、一部の PyPI プロジェクトや、Cython、pybind11、nanobind、PyO3などのツールの対応作業が進行中です。どうすれば拡張モジュールを隔離できるかについては、 拡張モジュールを分離する を参照してください。隔離のために必要な作業は、 フリースレッド の対応に必要な作業とかなり重複するため、すでにコミュニティで進められているフリースレッド対応作業により、複数インタープリタの対応も早まると思われます。

### PEP 750: テンプレート文字列リテラル

テンプレート文字列とは、カスタムの文字列処理を行うための新しい仕組みです。f-string と構文が類似していますが、f-string が単に `str` を返すのに対し、テンプレート文字列は、文字列の固定の部分と補間された部分を表すオブジェクトを返します。

t-stringを書くには、プレフィックスとして `'f'` の代わりに `'t'` を使用します:

    >>> variety = 'Stilton'
    >>> template = t'Try some {variety} cheese!'
    >>> type(template)
    <class 'string.templatelib.Template'>

`Template` オブジェクトでは、一つの文字列に結合される前の、固定部分の文字列や補間部分 (波括弧で囲まれる) の文字列を取得することができます。 `Template` のインスタンスに反復を行うことで、各部分を順に取り出せます:

    >>> list(template)
    ['Try some ', Interpolation('Stilton', 'variety', None, ''), ' cheese!']

`Template` インスタンスを処理するコードは書くのも呼び出すのも簡単です。例えば以下の例は、固定部分を小文字で、 `Interpolation` インスタンスを大文字で表示する関数です:

    from string.templatelib import Interpolation

    def lower_upper(template):
        """固定の箇所は小文字に、interpolationsは大文字に変換する"""
        parts = []
        for part in template:
            if isinstance(part, Interpolation):
                parts.append(str(part.value).upper())
            else:
                parts.append(part.lower())
        return ''.join(parts)

    name = 'Wenslydale'
    template = t'Mister {name}'
    assert lower_upper(template) == 'mister WENSLYDALE'

`Template` インスタンスを使うことで、動的に固定部分と補間部分を区別することができるため、これはユーザー入力のサニタイズをするのに便利です。練習問題として、ユーザー入力を HTML 用にサニタイズする関数 `html()` を書いてみてください！例えば、比較的高度な `html()` 関数にするならば、 HTML 属性の `dict` を直接テンプレートに埋め込めるようにすることが考えられます:

    attributes = {'src': 'limburger.jpg', 'alt': 'lovely cheese'}
    template = t'<img {attributes}>'
    assert html(template) == '<img src="limburger.jpg" alt="lovely cheese" />'

当然ながら、テンプレートを処理たあと必ずしも文字列的な値を返す必要はありません。先程の `html()` 関数をより高度にして、DOM のようなカスタムの構造体を返すようにすることも考えられます。

t-string を使えば、SQL 文をサニタイズしたり、シェル操作を安全にしたり、ログを改善したり、Web 開発 (HTML、CSS など) のモダンな技術を扱ったり、カスタムの DSL を実装したりするシステムを作成できます。

PEP 750

### PEP 768: 安全な外部デバッガインターフェース

Python プロセスを停止したり再起動したりすることなく安全にデバッガやプロファイラを接続できる、オーバーヘッドのないデバッグインターフェースが Python 3.14 で追加されました。これは Python のデバッグ機能を大きく強化するものであり、安全でない手法をとる必要がなくなります。

このインターフェースにより、インタープリタの通常の実行パスに変更を加えることなく、実行のオーバーヘッドを生じさせることもなく、安全にデバッガを接続できるポイントが追加されます。これにより、外部ツールからリアルタイムで Python アプリケーションの状態を取得したり操作できるようになります。これは、安定稼働が必要なシステムや本番環境においては非常に重要な機能です。

利便性のため、このインターフェースは `sys.remote_exec()` 関数として実装されています。例えば：

    import sys
    from tempfile import NamedTemporaryFile

    with NamedTemporaryFile(mode='w', suffix='.py', delete=False) as f:
        script_path = f.name
        f.write(f'import my_debugger; my_debugger.connect({os.getpid()})')

    # PID 1234 としてプロセスを実行
    print('Behold! An offering:')
    sys.remote_exec(1234, script_path)

この関数を使えば、対象のプロセスに Python コードを送信し、次のチェックポイントで実行されるように指示できます。ただ、デバッグツールを自分で作成する際は、この関数を使わず、直接プロトコルを実装することもできます。PEP の中で、実装方法と、プロセスに安全に接続するための内部的な仕組みが説明されています。

このデバッグインターフェースはセキュリティを意識して慎重に設計されており、アクセス制御の仕組みがいくつか備わっています：

- 環境変数 `PYTHON_DISABLE_REMOTE_DEBUG`

- コマンドラインオプション `-X disable-remote-debug`

- ビルド時に本機能を完全に無効化する、configure フラグ `--without-remote-debug`

### 新しいインタープリタ

CPython に新しいインタープリタが追加されました。Python の個々の命令コードを C 言語の長い `case` 文で実装する代わりに、小さな C 関数に分けて末尾呼び出し (tail call) でお互いを呼び出すようになっています。一部の新しいコンパイラでビルドすれば、このインタープリタのパフォーマンスは以前のインタープリタより大きく改善します。簡易的に `pyperformance` 標準ベンチマークでテストした結果、プラットフォームやアーキテクチャによっては、相乗平均で 3% から 5% の速度向上がみられました。比較対象は、Clang 19 でビルドした、新しいインタープリタなしの Python 3.14 です。

このインタープリタは現状、Clang 19 以上かつ x86-64 と AArch64 アーキテクチャのみ対応しています。ただ、GCC も今後のバージョンで対応になる見込みです。

This feature is opt-in for now. Enabling profile-guided optimization is highly recommended when using the new interpreter as it is the only configuration that has been tested and validated for improved performance. For further information, see `--with-tail-call-interp`.

注釈

This is not to be confused with tail call optimization of Python functions, which is currently not implemented in CPython.

This new interpreter type is an internal implementation detail of the CPython interpreter. It doesn't change the visible behavior of Python programs at all. It can improve their performance, but doesn't change anything else.

(Contributed by Ken Jin in gh-128563, with ideas on how to implement this in CPython by Mark Shannon, Garrett Gu, Haoran Xu, and Josh Haberman.)

### Free-threaded mode improvements

CPython's free-threaded mode (PEP 703), initially added in 3.13, has been significantly improved in Python 3.14. The implementation described in PEP 703 has been finished, including C API changes, and temporary workarounds in the interpreter were replaced with more permanent solutions. The specializing adaptive interpreter (PEP 659) is now enabled in free-threaded mode, which along with many other optimizations greatly improves its performance. The performance penalty on single-threaded code in free-threaded mode is now roughly 5-10%, depending on the platform and C compiler used.

From Python 3.14, when compiling extension modules for the free-threaded build of CPython on Windows, the preprocessor variable `Py_GIL_DISABLED` now needs to be specified by the build backend, as it will no longer be determined automatically by the C compiler. For a running interpreter, the setting that was used at compile time can be found using `sysconfig.get_config_var()`.

The new `-X context_aware_warnings` flag controls if concurrent safe warnings control is enabled. The flag defaults to true for the free-threaded build and false for the GIL-enabled build.

A new `thread_inherit_context` flag has been added, which if enabled means that threads created with `threading.Thread` start with a copy of the `Context()` of the caller of `start()`. Most significantly, this makes the warning filtering context established by `catch_warnings` be "inherited" by threads (or asyncio tasks) started within that context. It also affects other modules that use context variables, such as the `decimal` context manager. This flag defaults to true for the free-threaded build and false for the GIL-enabled build.

Some of these contributors are employed by Meta, which has continued to provide significant engineering resources to support this project.)

### エラーメッセージの改善

- The interpreter now provides helpful suggestions when it detects typos in Python keywords. When a word that closely resembles a Python keyword is encountered, the interpreter will suggest the correct keyword in the error message. This feature helps programmers quickly identify and fix common typing mistakes. For example:

      >>> whille True:
      ...     pass
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "<stdin>", line 1
          whille True:
          ^^^^^^
      SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Did you mean 'while'?

  While the feature focuses on the most common cases, some variations of misspellings may still result in regular syntax errors. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in gh-132449.)

- `elif` statements that follow an `else` block now have a specific error message. (Contributed by Steele Farnsworth in gh-129902.)

      >>> if who == "me":
      ...     print("It's me!")
      ... else:
      ...     print("It's not me!")
      ... elif who is None:
      ...     print("Who is it?")
      File "<stdin>", line 5
        elif who is None:
        ^^^^
      SyntaxError: 'elif' block follows an 'else' block

- If a statement is passed to the 条件式 (Conditional Expressions) after `else`, or one of `pass`, `break`, or `continue` is passed before `if`, then the error message highlights where the `expression` is required. (Contributed by Sergey Miryanov in gh-129515.)

      >>> x = 1 if True else pass
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "<string>", line 1
          x = 1 if True else pass
                             ^^^^
      SyntaxError: expected expression after 'else', but statement is given

      >>> x = continue if True else break
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "<string>", line 1
          x = continue if True else break
              ^^^^^^^^
      SyntaxError: expected expression before 'if', but statement is given

- When incorrectly closed strings are detected, the error message suggests that the string may be intended to be part of the string. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in gh-88535.)

      >>> "The interesting object "The important object" is very important"
      Traceback (most recent call last):
      SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Is this intended to be part of the string?

- When strings have incompatible prefixes, the error now shows which prefixes are incompatible. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-133197.)

      >>> ub'abc'
        File "<python-input-0>", line 1
          ub'abc'
          ^^
      SyntaxError: 'u' and 'b' prefixes are incompatible

- Improved error messages when using `as` with incompatible targets in:

  - Imports: `import ... as ...`

  - From imports: `from ... import ... as ...`

  - Except handlers: `except ... as ...`

  - Pattern-match cases: `case ... as ...`

  (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-123539, gh-123562, and gh-123440.)

- Improved error message when trying to add an instance of an unhashable type to a `dict` or `set`. (Contributed by CF Bolz-Tereick and Victor Stinner in gh-132828.)

      >>> s = set()
      >>> s.add({'pages': 12, 'grade': 'A'})
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "<python-input-1>", line 1, in <module>
          s.add({'pages': 12, 'grade': 'A'})
          ~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      TypeError: cannot use 'dict' as a set element (unhashable type: 'dict')
      >>> d = {}
      >>> l = [1, 2, 3]
      >>> d[l] = 12
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "<python-input-4>", line 1, in <module>
          d[l] = 12
          ~^^^
      TypeError: cannot use 'list' as a dict key (unhashable type: 'list')

- Improved error message when an object supporting the synchronous context manager protocol is entered using `async with` instead of `with`, and vice versa for the asynchronous context manager protocol. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-128398.)

### PEP 784: Zstandard support in the standard library

The new `compression` package contains modules `compression.lzma`, `compression.bz2`, `compression.gzip` and `compression.zlib` which re-export the `lzma`, `bz2`, `gzip` and `zlib` modules respectively. The new import names under `compression` are the preferred names for importing these compression modules from Python 3.14. However, the existing modules names have not been deprecated. Any deprecation or removal of the existing compression modules will occur no sooner than five years after the release of 3.14.

The new `compression.zstd` module provides compression and decompression APIs for the Zstandard format via bindings to Meta's zstd library. Zstandard is a widely adopted, highly efficient, and fast compression format. In addition to the APIs introduced in `compression.zstd`, support for reading and writing Zstandard compressed archives has been added to the `tarfile`, `zipfile`, and `shutil` modules.

Here's an example of using the new module to compress some data:

    from compression import zstd
    import math

    data = str(math.pi).encode() * 20
    compressed = zstd.compress(data)
    ratio = len(compressed) / len(data)
    print(f"Achieved compression ratio of {ratio}")

As can be seen, the API is similar to the APIs of the `lzma` and `bz2` modules.

PEP 784.

### Asyncio introspection capabilities

Added a new command-line interface to inspect running Python processes using asynchronous tasks, available via `python -m asyncio ps PID` or `python -m asyncio pstree PID`.

The `ps` subcommand inspects the given process ID (PID) and displays information about currently running asyncio tasks. It outputs a task table: a flat listing of all tasks, their names, their coroutine stacks, and which tasks are awaiting them.

The `pstree` subcommand fetches the same information, but instead renders a visual async call tree, showing coroutine relationships in a hierarchical format. This command is particularly useful for debugging long-running or stuck asynchronous programs. It can help developers quickly identify where a program is blocked, what tasks are pending, and how coroutines are chained together.

For example given this code:

    import asyncio

    async def play_track(track):
        await asyncio.sleep(5)
        print(f'🎵 Finished: {track}')

    async def play_album(name, tracks):
        async with asyncio.TaskGroup() as tg:
            for track in tracks:
                tg.create_task(play_track(track), name=track)

    async def main():
        async with asyncio.TaskGroup() as tg:
            tg.create_task(
              play_album('Sundowning', ['TNDNBTG', 'Levitate']),
              name='Sundowning')
            tg.create_task(
              play_album('TMBTE', ['DYWTYLM', 'Aqua Regia']),
              name='TMBTE')

    if __name__ == '__main__':
        asyncio.run(main())

Executing the new tool on the running process will yield a table like this:

    python -m asyncio ps 12345

    tid        task id              task name            coroutine stack                                    awaiter chain                                      awaiter name    awaiter id

If a cycle is detected in the async await graph (which could indicate a programming issue), the tool raises an error and lists the cycle paths that prevent tree construction:

    python -m asyncio pstree 12345

    ERROR: await-graph contains cycles - cannot print a tree!

    cycle: Task-2 → Task-3 → Task-2

### Concurrent safe warnings control

The `warnings.catch_warnings` context manager will now optionally use a context variable for warning filters. This is enabled by setting the `context_aware_warnings` flag, either with the `-X` command-line option or an environment variable. This gives predictable warnings control when using `catch_warnings` combined with multiple threads or asynchronous tasks. The flag defaults to true for the free-threaded build and false for the GIL-enabled build.

## Other language changes

- All Windows code pages are now supported as 'cpXXX' codecs on Windows. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-123803.)

- Implement mixed-mode arithmetic rules combining real and complex numbers as specified by the C standard since C99. (Contributed by Sergey B Kirpichev in gh-69639.)

- More syntax errors are now detected regardless of optimisation and the `-O` command-line option. This includes writes to `__debug__`, incorrect use of `await`, and asynchronous comprehensions outside asynchronous functions. For example, `python -O -c 'assert (__debug__ := 1)'` or `python -O -c 'assert await 1'` now produce `SyntaxError`s. (Contributed by Irit Katriel and Jelle Zijlstra in gh-122245 & gh-121637.)

- When subclassing a pure C type, the C slots for the new type are no longer replaced with a wrapped version on class creation if they are not explicitly overridden in the subclass. (Contributed by Tomasz Pytel in gh-132284.)

### Built-ins

- The `bytes.fromhex()` and `bytearray.fromhex()` methods now accept ASCII `bytes` and bytes-like objects. (Contributed by Daniel Pope in gh-129349.)

- Add class methods `float.from_number()` and `complex.from_number()` to convert a number to `float` or `complex` type correspondingly. They raise a `TypeError` if the argument is not a real number. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-84978.)

- Support underscore and comma as thousands separators in the fractional part for floating-point presentation types of the new-style string formatting (with `format()` or f-strings). (Contributed by Sergey B Kirpichev in gh-87790.)

- The `int()` function no longer delegates to `__trunc__()`. Classes that want to support conversion to `int()` must implement either `__int__()` or `__index__()`. (Contributed by Mark Dickinson in gh-119743.)

- The `map()` function now has an optional keyword-only strict flag like `zip()` to check that all the iterables are of equal length. (Contributed by Wannes Boeykens in gh-119793.)

- The `memoryview` type now supports subscription, making it a generic type. (Contributed by Brian Schubert in gh-126012.)

- Using `NotImplemented` in a boolean context will now raise a `TypeError`. This has raised a `DeprecationWarning` since Python 3.9. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-118767.)

- Three-argument `pow()` now tries calling `__rpow__()` if necessary. Previously it was only called in two-argument `pow()` and the binary power operator. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-130104.)

- `super` objects are now `copyable` and `pickleable`. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-125767.)

### コマンドラインと環境

- The import time flag can now track modules that are already loaded ('cached'), via the new `-X importtime=2`. When such a module is imported, the `self` and `cumulative` times are replaced by the string `cached`.

  Values above `2` for `-X importtime` are now reserved for future use.

  (Contributed by Noah Kim and Adam Turner in gh-118655.)

- The command-line option `-c` now automatically dedents its code argument before execution. (Contributed by Jon Crall and Steven Sun in gh-103998.)

- `-J` is no longer a reserved flag for Jython, and now has no special meaning. (Contributed by Adam Turner in gh-133336.)

### PEP 758: Allow `except` and `except*` expressions without brackets

The `except` and `except*` expressions now allow brackets to be omitted when there are multiple exception types and the `as` clause is not used. For example:

    try:
        connect_to_server()
    except TimeoutError, ConnectionRefusedError:
        print('The network has ceased to be!')

(Contributed by Pablo Galindo and Brett Cannon in PEP 758 and gh-131831.)

### PEP 765: Control flow in `finally` blocks

The compiler now emits a `SyntaxWarning` when a `return`, `break`, or `continue` statement have the effect of leaving a `finally` block. This change is specified in PEP 765.

In situations where this change is inconvenient (such as those where the warnings are redundant due to code linting), the warning filter can be used to turn off all syntax warnings by adding `ignore::SyntaxWarning` as a filter. This can be specified in combination with a filter that converts other warnings to errors (for example, passing `-Werror -Wignore::SyntaxWarning` as CLI options, or setting `PYTHONWARNINGS=error,ignore::SyntaxWarning`).

Note that applying such a filter at runtime using the `warnings` module will only suppress the warning in code that is compiled after the filter is adjusted. Code that is compiled prior to the filter adjustment (for example, when a module is imported) will still emit the syntax warning.

(Contributed by Irit Katriel in gh-130080.)

### Garbage collection

From Python 3.14.5 onwards:

The garbage collector (GC) has changed in Python 3.14.5.

Python 3.14.0-3.14.4 shipped with a new incremental GC. However, due to a number of reports of significant memory pressure in production environments, it has been reverted back to the generational GC from 3.13. This is the GC now used in Python 3.14.5 and later.

Previously in Python 3.14.0-3.14.4:

The cycle garbage collector is now incremental. This means that maximum pause times are reduced by an order of magnitude or more for larger heaps.

There are now only two generations: young and old. When `gc.collect()` is not called directly, the GC is invoked a little less frequently. When invoked, it collects the young generation and an increment of the old generation, instead of collecting one or more generations.

The behavior of `gc.collect()` changes slightly:

- `gc.collect(1)`: Performs an increment of garbage collection, rather than collecting generation 1.

- Other calls to `gc.collect()` are unchanged.

(Contributed by Mark Shannon in gh-108362.)

### Default interactive shell

- The default interactive shell now highlights Python syntax. The feature is enabled by default, save if `PYTHON_BASIC_REPL` or any other environment variable that disables colour is set. See 色の制御 for details.

  The default color theme for syntax highlighting strives for good contrast and exclusively uses the 4-bit VGA standard ANSI color codes for maximum compatibility. The theme can be customized using an experimental API `_colorize.set_theme()`. This can be called interactively or in the `PYTHONSTARTUP` script. Note that this function has no stability guarantees, and may change or be removed.

  (Contributed by Łukasz Langa in gh-131507.)

- The default interactive shell now supports import auto-completion. This means that typing `import co` and pressing `<Tab>` will suggest modules starting with `co`. Similarly, typing `from concurrent import i` will suggest submodules of `concurrent` starting with `i`. Note that autocompletion of module attributes is not currently supported. (Contributed by Tomas Roun in gh-69605.)

## 新しいモジュール

- `annotationlib`: For introspecting annotations. See PEP 749 for more details. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-119180.)

- `compression` (including `compression.zstd`): A package for compression-related modules, including a new module to support the Zstandard compression format. See PEP 784 for more details. (Contributed by Emma Harper Smith, Adam Turner, Gregory P. Smith, Tomas Roun, Victor Stinner, and Rogdham in gh-132983.)

- `concurrent.interpreters`: Support for multiple interpreters in the standard library. See PEP 734 for more details. (Contributed by Eric Snow in gh-134939.)

- `string.templatelib`: Support for template string literals (t-strings). See PEP 750 for more details. (Contributed by Jim Baker, Guido van Rossum, Paul Everitt, Koudai Aono, Lysandros Nikolaou, Dave Peck, Adam Turner, Jelle Zijlstra, Bénédikt Tran, and Pablo Galindo Salgado in gh-132661.)

## Improved modules

### argparse

- The default value of the program name for `argparse.ArgumentParser` now reflects the way the Python interpreter was instructed to find the `__main__` module code. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka and Alyssa Coghlan in gh-66436.)

- Introduced the optional suggest_on_error parameter to `argparse.ArgumentParser`, enabling suggestions for argument choices and subparser names if mistyped by the user. (Contributed by Savannah Ostrowski in gh-124456.)

- Enable color for help text, which can be disabled with the optional color parameter to `argparse.ArgumentParser`. This can also be controlled by environment variables. (Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in gh-130645.)

### ast

- Add `compare()`, a function for comparing two ASTs. (Contributed by Batuhan Taskaya and Jeremy Hylton in gh-60191.)

- Add support for `copy.replace()` for AST nodes. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-121141.)

- Docstrings are now removed from an optimized AST in optimization level 2. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in gh-123958.)

- The `repr()` output for AST nodes now includes more information. (Contributed by Tomas Roun in gh-116022.)

- When called with an AST as input, the `parse()` function now always verifies that the root node type is appropriate. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in gh-130139.)

- Add new options to the command-line interface: `--feature-version`, `--optimize`, and `--show-empty`. (Contributed by Semyon Moroz in gh-133367.)

### asyncio

- The function and methods named `create_task()` now take an arbitrary list of keyword arguments. All keyword arguments are passed to the `Task` constructor or the custom task factory. (See `set_task_factory()` for details.) The `name` and `context` keyword arguments are no longer special; the name should now be set using the `name` keyword argument of the factory, and `context` may be `None`.

  This affects the following function and methods: `asyncio.create_task()`, `asyncio.loop.create_task()`, `asyncio.TaskGroup.create_task()`.

  (Contributed by Thomas Grainger in gh-128307.)

- There are two new utility functions for introspecting and printing a program's call graph: `capture_call_graph()` and `print_call_graph()`. See Asyncio introspection capabilities for more details. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov, Pablo Galindo Salgado, and Łukasz Langa in gh-91048.)

### calendar

- By default, today's date is highlighted in color in `calendar`'s command-line text output. This can be controlled by environment variables. (Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in gh-128317.)

### concurrent.futures

- Add a new executor class, `InterpreterPoolExecutor`, which exposes multiple Python interpreters in the same process ('subinterpreters') to Python code. This uses a pool of independent Python interpreters to execute calls asynchronously.

  This is separate from the new `interpreters` module introduced by PEP 734. (Contributed by Eric Snow in gh-124548.)

- On Unix platforms other than macOS, 'forkserver' is now the default start method for `ProcessPoolExecutor` (replacing 'fork'). This change does not affect Windows or macOS, where 'spawn' remains the default start method.

  If the threading incompatible fork method is required, you must explicitly request it by supplying a multiprocessing context mp_context to `ProcessPoolExecutor`.

  See forkserver restrictions for information and differences with the fork method and how this change may affect existing code with mutable global shared variables and/or shared objects that can not be automatically `pickled`.

  (Contributed by Gregory P. Smith in gh-84559.)

- Add two new methods to `ProcessPoolExecutor`, `terminate_workers()` and `kill_workers()`, as ways to terminate or kill all living worker processes in the given pool. (Contributed by Charles Machalow in gh-130849.)

- Add the optional buffersize parameter to `Executor.map` to limit the number of submitted tasks whose results have not yet been yielded. If the buffer is full, iteration over the iterables pauses until a result is yielded from the buffer. (Contributed by Enzo Bonnal and Josh Rosenberg in gh-74028.)

### configparser

- `configparser` will no longer write config files it cannot read, to improve security. Attempting to `write()` keys containing delimiters or beginning with the section header pattern will raise an `InvalidWriteError`. (Contributed by Jacob Lincoln in gh-129270.)

### contextvars

- Support the context manager protocol for `Token` objects. (Contributed by Andrew Svetlov in gh-129889.)

### ctypes

- The layout of bit fields in `Structure` and `Union` objects is now a closer match to platform defaults (GCC/Clang or MSVC). In particular, fields no longer overlap. (Contributed by Matthias Görgens in gh-97702.)

- The `Structure._layout_` class attribute can now be set to help match a non-default ABI. (Contributed by Petr Viktorin in gh-97702.)

- The class of `Structure`/`Union` field descriptors is now available as `CField`, and has new attributes to aid debugging and introspection. (Contributed by Petr Viktorin in gh-128715.)

- On Windows, the `COMError` exception is now public. (Contributed by Jun Komoda in gh-126686.)

- On Windows, the `CopyComPointer()` function is now public. (Contributed by Jun Komoda in gh-127275.)

- Add `memoryview_at()`, a function to create a `memoryview` object that refers to the supplied pointer and length. This works like `ctypes.string_at()` except it avoids a buffer copy, and is typically useful when implementing pure Python callback functions that are passed dynamically-sized buffers. (Contributed by Rian Hunter in gh-112018.)

- Complex types, `c_float_complex`, `c_double_complex`, and `c_longdouble_complex`, are now available if both the compiler and the `libffi` library support complex C types. (Contributed by Sergey B Kirpichev in gh-61103.)

- Add `ctypes.util.dllist()` for listing the shared libraries loaded by the current process. (Contributed by Brian Ward in gh-119349.)

- Move `ctypes.POINTER()` types cache from a global internal cache (`_pointer_type_cache`) to the `_CData.__pointer_type__` attribute of the corresponding `ctypes` types. This will stop the cache from growing without limits in some situations. (Contributed by Sergey Miryanov in gh-100926.)

- The `py_object` type now supports subscription, making it a generic type. (Contributed by Brian Schubert in gh-132168.)

- `ctypes` now supports free-threading builds. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya and Peter Bierma in gh-127945.)

### curses

- Add the `assume_default_colors()` function, a refinement of the `use_default_colors()` function which allows changing the color pair `0`. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-133139.)

### datetime

- Add the `strptime()` method to the `datetime.date` and `datetime.time` classes. (Contributed by Wannes Boeykens in gh-41431.)

### decimal

- Add `Decimal.from_number()` as an alternative constructor for `Decimal`. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-121798.)

- Expose `IEEEContext()` to support creation of contexts corresponding to the IEEE 754 (2008) decimal interchange formats. (Contributed by Sergey B Kirpichev in gh-53032.)

### difflib

- Comparison pages with highlighted changes generated by the `HtmlDiff` class now support 'dark mode'. (Contributed by Jiahao Li in gh-129939.)

### dis

- Add support for rendering full source location information of `instructions`, rather than only the line number. This feature is added to the following interfaces via the show_positions keyword argument:

  - `dis.Bytecode`

  - `dis.dis()`

  - `dis.distb()`

  - `dis.disassemble()`

  This feature is also exposed via `dis --show-positions`. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-123165.)

- Add the `dis --specialized` command-line option to show specialized bytecode. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-127413.)

### errno

- Add the `EHWPOISON` error code constant. (Contributed by James Roy in gh-126585.)

### faulthandler

- Add support for printing the C stack trace on systems that support it via the new `dump_c_stack()` function or via the c_stack argument in `faulthandler.enable()`. (Contributed by Peter Bierma in gh-127604.)

### fnmatch

- Add `filterfalse()`, a function to reject names matching a given pattern. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-74598.)

### fractions

- A `Fraction` object may now be constructed from any object with the `as_integer_ratio()` method. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-82017.)

- Add `Fraction.from_number()` as an alternative constructor for `Fraction`. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-121797.)

### functools

- Add the `Placeholder` sentinel. This may be used with the `partial()` or `partialmethod()` functions to reserve a place for positional arguments in the returned partial object. (Contributed by Dominykas Grigonis in gh-119127.)

- Allow the initial parameter of `reduce()` to be passed as a keyword argument. (Contributed by Sayandip Dutta in gh-125916.)

### getopt

- Add support for options with optional arguments. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-126374.)

- Add support for returning intermixed options and non-option arguments in order. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-126390.)

### getpass

- Support keyboard feedback in the `getpass()` function via the keyword-only optional argument echo_char. Placeholder characters are rendered whenever a character is entered, and removed when a character is deleted. (Contributed by Semyon Moroz in gh-77065.)

### graphlib

- Allow `TopologicalSorter.prepare()` to be called more than once as long as sorting has not started. (Contributed by Daniel Pope in gh-130914.)

### heapq

- The `heapq` module has improved support for working with max-heaps, via the following new functions:

  - `heapify_max()`

  - `heappush_max()`

  - `heappop_max()`

  - `heapreplace_max()`

  - `heappushpop_max()`

### hmac

- Add a built-in implementation for HMAC (RFC 2104) using formally verified code from the HACL* project. This implementation is used as a fallback when the OpenSSL implementation of HMAC is not available. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-99108.)

### http

- Directory lists and error pages generated by the `http.server` module allow the browser to apply its default dark mode. (Contributed by Yorik Hansen in gh-123430.)

- The `http.server` module now supports serving over HTTPS using the `http.server.HTTPSServer` class. This functionality is exposed by the command-line interface (`python -m http.server`) through the following options:

  - `--tls-cert <path>`: Path to the TLS certificate file.

  - `--tls-key <path>`: Optional path to the private key file.

  - `--tls-password-file <path>`: Optional path to the password file for the private key.

  (Contributed by Semyon Moroz in gh-85162.)

### imaplib

- Add `IMAP4.idle()`, implementing the IMAP4 `IDLE` command as defined in RFC 2177. (Contributed by Forest in gh-55454.)

### inspect

- `signature()` takes a new argument annotation_format to control the `annotationlib.Format` used for representing annotations. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-101552.)

- `Signature.format()` takes a new argument unquote_annotations. If true, string annotations are displayed without surrounding quotes. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-101552.)

- Add function `ispackage()` to determine whether an object is a package or not. (Contributed by Zhikang Yan in gh-125634.)

### io

- Reading text from a non-blocking stream with `read` may now raise a `BlockingIOError` if the operation cannot immediately return bytes. (Contributed by Giovanni Siragusa in gh-109523.)

- Add the `Reader` and `Writer` protocols as simpler alternatives to the pseudo-protocols `typing.IO`, `typing.TextIO`, and `typing.BinaryIO`. (Contributed by Sebastian Rittau in gh-127648.)

### json

- Add exception notes for JSON serialization errors that allow identifying the source of the error. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-122163.)

- Allow using the `json` module as a script using the `-m` switch: python -m json. This is now preferred to python -m json.tool, which is soft deprecated. See the JSON command-line interface documentation. (Contributed by Trey Hunner in gh-122873.)

- By default, the output of the JSON command-line interface is highlighted in color. This can be controlled by environment variables. (Contributed by Tomas Roun in gh-131952.)

### linecache

- `getline()` can now retrieve source code for frozen modules. (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-131638.)

### logging.handlers

- `QueueListener` objects now support the context manager protocol. (Contributed by Charles Machalow in gh-132106.)

- `QueueListener.start` now raises a `RuntimeError` if the listener is already started. (Contributed by Charles Machalow in gh-132106.)

### math

- Added more detailed error messages for domain errors in the module. (Contributed by Charlie Zhao and Sergey B Kirpichev in gh-101410.)

### mimetypes

- Add a public command-line for the module, invoked via python -m mimetypes. (Contributed by Oleg Iarygin and Hugo van Kemenade in gh-93096.)

- Add several new MIME types based on RFCs and common usage:

  Microsoft and RFC 8081 MIME types for fonts

### multiprocessing

- On Unix platforms other than macOS, 'forkserver' is now the default start method (replacing 'fork'). This change does not affect Windows or macOS, where 'spawn' remains the default start method.

  If the threading incompatible fork method is required, you must explicitly request it via a context from `get_context()` (preferred) or change the default via `set_start_method()`.

  See forkserver restrictions for information and differences with the fork method and how this change may affect existing code with mutable global shared variables and/or shared objects that can not be automatically `pickled`.

  (Contributed by Gregory P. Smith in gh-84559.)

- `multiprocessing`'s `'forkserver'` start method now authenticates its control socket to avoid solely relying on filesystem permissions to restrict what other processes could cause the forkserver to spawn workers and run code. (Contributed by Gregory P. Smith for gh-97514.)

- The multiprocessing proxy objects for list and dict types gain previously overlooked missing methods:

  > - `clear()` and `copy()` for proxies of `list`

  > - `fromkeys()`, `reversed(d)`, `d | {}`, `{} | d`, `d |= {'b': 2}` for proxies of `dict`

  (Contributed by Roy Hyunjin Han for gh-103134.)

- Add support for shared `set` objects via `SyncManager.set()`. The `set()` in `Manager()` method is now available. (Contributed by Mingyu Park in gh-129949.)

- Add the `interrupt()` to `multiprocessing.Process` objects, which terminates the child process by sending `SIGINT`. This enables `finally` clauses to print a stack trace for the terminated process. (Contributed by Artem Pulkin in gh-131913.)

### operator

- Add `is_none()` and `is_not_none()` as a pair of functions, such that `operator.is_none(obj)` is equivalent to `obj is None` and `operator.is_not_none(obj)` is equivalent to `obj is not None`. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger and Nico Mexis in gh-115808.)

### os

- Add the `reload_environ()` function to update `os.environ` and `os.environb` with changes to the environment made by `os.putenv()`, by `os.unsetenv()`, or made outside Python in the same process. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-120057.)

- Add the `SCHED_DEADLINE` and `SCHED_NORMAL` constants to the `os` module. (Contributed by James Roy in gh-127688.)

- Add the `readinto()` function to read into a buffer object from a file descriptor. (Contributed by Cody Maloney in gh-129205.)

### os.path

- The strict parameter to `realpath()` accepts a new value, `ALLOW_MISSING`. If used, errors other than `FileNotFoundError` will be re-raised; the resulting path can be missing but it will be free of symlinks. (Contributed by Petr Viktorin for CVE 2025-4517.)

### pathlib

- Add methods to `pathlib.Path` to recursively copy or move files and directories:

  - `copy()` copies a file or directory tree to a destination.

  - `copy_into()` copies into a destination directory.

  - `move()` moves a file or directory tree to a destination.

  - `move_into()` moves into a destination directory.

  (Contributed by Barney Gale in gh-73991.)

- Add the `info` attribute, which stores an object implementing the new `pathlib.types.PathInfo` protocol. The object supports querying the file type and internally caching `stat()` results. Path objects generated by `iterdir()` are initialized with file type information gleaned from scanning the parent directory. (Contributed by Barney Gale in gh-125413.)

### pdb

- The `pdb` module now supports remote attaching to a running Python process using a new `-p PID` command-line option:

      python -m pdb -p 1234

  This will connect to the Python process with the given PID and allow you to debug it interactively. Notice that due to how the Python interpreter works attaching to a remote process that is blocked in a system call or waiting for I/O will only work once the next bytecode instruction is executed or when the process receives a signal.

  This feature uses PEP 768 and the new `sys.remote_exec()` function to attach to the remote process and send the PDB commands to it.

  (Contributed by Matt Wozniski and Pablo Galindo in gh-131591.)

- Hardcoded breakpoints (`breakpoint()` and `set_trace()`) now reuse the most recent `Pdb` instance that calls `set_trace()`, instead of creating a new one each time. As a result, all the instance specific data like `display` and `commands` are preserved across hardcoded breakpoints. (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-121450.)

- Add a new argument mode to `pdb.Pdb`. Disable the `restart` command when `pdb` is in `inline` mode. (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-123757.)

- A confirmation prompt will be shown when the user tries to quit `pdb` in `inline` mode. `y`, `Y`, `<Enter>` or `EOF` will confirm the quit and call `sys.exit()`, instead of raising `bdb.BdbQuit`. (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-124704.)

- Inline breakpoints like `breakpoint()` or `pdb.set_trace()` will always stop the program at calling frame, ignoring the `skip` pattern (if any). (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-130493.)

- `<tab>` at the beginning of the line in `pdb` multi-line input will fill in a 4-space indentation now, instead of inserting a `\t` character. (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-130471.)

- Auto-indent is introduced in `pdb` multi-line input. It will either keep the indentation of the last line or insert a 4-space indentation when it detects a new code block. (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-133350.)

- `$_asynctask` is added to access the current asyncio task if applicable. (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-124367.)

- `pdb.set_trace_async()` is added to support debugging asyncio coroutines. `await` statements are supported with this function. (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-132576.)

- Source code displayed in `pdb` will be syntax-highlighted. This feature can be controlled using the same methods as the default interactive shell, in addition to the newly added `colorize` argument of `pdb.Pdb`. (Contributed by Tian Gao and Łukasz Langa in gh-133355.)

### pickle

- Set the default protocol version on the `pickle` module to 5. For more details, see pickle protocols.

- Add exception notes for pickle serialization errors that allow identifying the source of the error. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-122213.)

### プラットフォーム

- Add `invalidate_caches()`, a function to invalidate cached results in the `platform` module. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-122549.)

### pydoc

- Annotations in help output are now usually displayed in a format closer to that in the original source. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-101552.)

### re

- Support `\z` as a synonym for `\Z` in `regular expressions`. It is interpreted unambiguously in many other regular expression engines, unlike `\Z`, which has subtly different behavior. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-133306.)

- `\B` in `regular expression` now matches the empty input string, meaning that it is now always the opposite of `\b`. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-124130.)

### socket

- Improve and fix support for Bluetooth sockets.

  - Fix support of Bluetooth sockets on NetBSD and DragonFly BSD. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-132429.)

  - Fix support for `BTPROTO_HCI` on FreeBSD. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-111178.)

  - Add support for `BTPROTO_SCO` on FreeBSD. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-85302.)

  - Add support for cid and bdaddr_type in the address for `BTPROTO_L2CAP` on FreeBSD. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-132429.)

  - Add support for channel in the address for `BTPROTO_HCI` on Linux. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-70145.)

  - Accept an integer as the address for `BTPROTO_HCI` on Linux. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-132099.)

  - Return cid in `getsockname()` for `BTPROTO_L2CAP`. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-132429.)

  - Add many new constants. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-132734.)

### ssl

- Indicate through the `HAS_PHA` Boolean whether the `ssl` module supports TLSv1.3 post-handshake client authentication (PHA). (Contributed by Will Childs-Klein in gh-128036.)

### struct

- Support the float complex and double complex C types in the `struct` module (formatting characters `'F'` and `'D'` respectively). (Contributed by Sergey B Kirpichev in gh-121249.)

### symtable

- Expose the following `Symbol` methods:

  - `is_comp_cell()`

  - `is_comp_iter()`

  - `is_free_class()`

  (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-120029.)

### sys

- The previously undocumented special function `sys.getobjects()`, which only exists in specialized builds of Python, may now return objects from other interpreters than the one it's called in. (Contributed by Eric Snow in gh-125286.)

- Add `sys._is_immortal()` for determining if an object is immortal. (Contributed by Peter Bierma in gh-128509.)

- On FreeBSD, `sys.platform` no longer contains the major version number. It is always `'freebsd'`, instead of `'freebsd13'` or `'freebsd14'`. (Contributed by Michael Osipov in gh-129393.)

- Raise `DeprecationWarning` for `sys._clear_type_cache()`. This function was deprecated in Python 3.13 but it didn't raise a runtime warning.

- Add `sys.remote_exec()` to implement the new external debugger interface. See PEP 768 for details. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo Salgado, Matt Wozniski, and Ivona Stojanovic in gh-131591.)

- Add the `sys._jit` namespace, containing utilities for introspecting just-in-time compilation. (Contributed by Brandt Bucher in gh-133231.)

### sys.monitoring

- Add two new monitoring events, `BRANCH_LEFT` and `BRANCH_RIGHT`. These replace and deprecate the `BRANCH` event. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in gh-122548.)

### sysconfig

- Add `ABIFLAGS` key to `get_config_vars()` on Windows. (Contributed by Xuehai Pan in gh-131799.)

### tarfile

- `data_filter()` now normalizes symbolic link targets in order to avoid path traversal attacks. (Contributed by Petr Viktorin in gh-127987 and CVE 2025-4138.)

- `extractall()` now skips fixing up directory attributes when a directory was removed or replaced by another kind of file. (Contributed by Petr Viktorin in gh-127987 and CVE 2024-12718.)

- `extract()` and `extractall()` now (re-)apply the extraction filter when substituting a link (hard or symbolic) with a copy of another archive member, and when fixing up directory attributes. The former raises a new exception, `LinkFallbackError`. (Contributed by Petr Viktorin for CVE 2025-4330 and CVE 2024-12718.)

- `extract()` and `extractall()` no longer extract rejected members when `errorlevel()` is zero. (Contributed by Matt Prodani and Petr Viktorin in gh-112887 and CVE 2025-4435.)

### threading

- `threading.Thread.start()` now sets the operating system thread name to `threading.Thread.name`. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-59705.)

### tkinter

- Make `tkinter` widget methods `after()` and `after_idle()` accept keyword arguments. (Contributed by Zhikang Yan in gh-126899.)

- Add ability to specify a name for `tkinter.OptionMenu` and `tkinter.ttk.OptionMenu`. (Contributed by Zhikang Yan in gh-130482.)

### `turtle`

- Add context managers for `turtle.fill()`, `turtle.poly()`, and `turtle.no_animation()`. (Contributed by Marie Roald and Yngve Mardal Moe in gh-126350.)

### types

- `types.UnionType` is now an alias for `typing.Union`. See below for more details. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-105499.)

### typing

- The `types.UnionType` and `typing.Union` types are now aliases for each other, meaning that both old-style unions (created with `Union[int, str]`) and new-style unions (`int | str`) now create instances of the same runtime type. This unifies the behavior between the two syntaxes, but leads to some differences in behavior that may affect users who introspect types at runtime:

  - Both syntaxes for creating a union now produce the same string representation in `repr()`. For example, `repr(Union[int, str])` is now `"int | str"` instead of `"typing.Union[int, str]"`.

  - Unions created using the old syntax are no longer cached. Previously, running `Union[int, str]` multiple times would return the same object (`Union[int, str] is Union[int, str]` would be `True`), but now it will return two different objects. Use `==` to compare unions for equality, not `is`. New-style unions have never been cached this way. This change could increase memory usage for some programs that use a large number of unions created by subscripting `typing.Union`. However, several factors offset this cost: unions used in annotations are no longer evaluated by default in Python 3.14 because of PEP 649; an instance of `types.UnionType` is itself much smaller than the object returned by `Union[]` was on prior Python versions; and removing the cache also saves some space. It is therefore unlikely that this change will cause a significant increase in memory usage for most users.

  - Previously, old-style unions were implemented using the private class `typing._UnionGenericAlias`. This class is no longer needed for the implementation, but it has been retained for backward compatibility, with removal scheduled for Python 3.17. Users should use documented introspection helpers like `get_origin()` and `typing.get_args()` instead of relying on private implementation details.

  - It is now possible to use `typing.Union` itself in `isinstance()` checks. For example, `isinstance(int | str, typing.Union)` will return `True`; previously this raised `TypeError`.

  - The `__args__` attribute of `typing.Union` objects is no longer writable.

  - It is no longer possible to set any attributes on `Union` objects. This only ever worked for dunder attributes on previous versions, was never documented to work, and was subtly broken in many cases.

  (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-105499.)

- `TypeAliasType` now supports star unpacking.

### unicodedata

- The Unicode database has been updated to Unicode 16.0.0.

### unittest

- `unittest` output is now colored by default. This can be controlled by environment variables. (Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in gh-127221.)

- unittest discovery supports namespace package as start directory again. It was removed in Python 3.11. (Contributed by Jacob Walls in gh-80958.)

- A number of new methods were added in the `TestCase` class that provide more specialized tests.

  - `assertHasAttr()` and `assertNotHasAttr()` check whether the object has a particular attribute.

  - `assertIsSubclass()` and `assertNotIsSubclass()` check whether the object is a subclass of a particular class, or of one of a tuple of classes.

  - `assertStartsWith()`, `assertNotStartsWith()`, `assertEndsWith()` and `assertNotEndsWith()` check whether the Unicode or byte string starts or ends with particular strings.

  (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-71339.)

### urllib

- Upgrade HTTP digest authentication algorithm for `urllib.request` by supporting SHA-256 digest authentication as specified in RFC 7616. (Contributed by Calvin Bui in gh-128193.)

- Improve ergonomics and standards compliance when parsing and emitting `file:` URLs.

  In `url2pathname()`:

  - Accept a complete URL when the new require_scheme argument is set to true.

  - Discard URL authority if it matches the local hostname.

  - Discard URL authority if it resolves to a local IP address when the new resolve_host argument is set to true.

  - Discard URL query and fragment components.

  - Raise `URLError` if a URL authority isn't local, except on Windows where we return a UNC path as before.

  In `pathname2url()`:

  - Return a complete URL when the new add_scheme argument is set to true.

  - Include an empty URL authority when a path begins with a slash. For example, the path `/etc/hosts` is converted to the URL `///etc/hosts`.

  On Windows, drive letters are no longer converted to uppercase, and `:` characters not following a drive letter no longer cause an `OSError` exception to be raised.

  (Contributed by Barney Gale in gh-125866.)

### uuid

- Add support for UUID versions 6, 7, and 8 via `uuid6()`, `uuid7()`, and `uuid8()` respectively, as specified in RFC 9562. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-89083.)

- `NIL` and `MAX` are now available to represent the Nil and Max UUID formats as defined by RFC 9562. (Contributed by Nick Pope in gh-128427.)

- Allow generating multiple UUIDs simultaneously on the command-line via `python -m uuid --count`. (Contributed by Simon Legner in gh-131236.)

### webbrowser

- Names in the `BROWSER` environment variable can now refer to already registered browsers for the `webbrowser` module, instead of always generating a new browser command.

  This makes it possible to set `BROWSER` to the value of one of the supported browsers on macOS.

### zipfile

- Added `ZipInfo._for_archive`, a method to resolve suitable defaults for a `ZipInfo` object as used by `ZipFile.writestr`. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-123424.)

- `ZipFile.writestr()` now respects the `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` environment variable in order to better support reproducible builds. (Contributed by Jiahao Li in gh-91279.)

## 最適化

- The import time for several standard library modules has been improved, including `annotationlib`, `ast`, `asyncio`, `base64`, `cmd`, `csv`, `gettext`, `importlib.util`, `locale`, `mimetypes`, `optparse`, `pickle`, `pprint`, `pstats`, `shlex`, `socket`, `string`, `subprocess`, `threading`, `tomllib`, `types`, and `zipfile`.

  (Contributed by Adam Turner, Bénédikt Tran, Chris Markiewicz, Eli Schwartz, Hugo van Kemenade, Jelle Zijlstra, and others in gh-118761.)

- The interpreter now avoids some reference count modifications internally when it's safe to do so. This can lead to different values being returned from `sys.getrefcount()` and `Py_REFCNT()` compared to previous versions of Python. See below for details.

### asyncio

- Standard benchmark results have improved by 10-20% following the implementation of a new per-thread doubly linked list for `native tasks`, also reducing memory usage. This enables external introspection tools such as python -m asyncio pstree to introspect the call graph of asyncio tasks running in all threads. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-107803.)

- The module now has first class support for free-threading builds. This enables parallel execution of multiple event loops across different threads, scaling linearly with the number of threads. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-128002.)

### base64

- `b16decode()` is now up to six times faster. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran, Chris Markiewicz, and Adam Turner in gh-118761.)

### bdb

- The basic debugger now has a `sys.monitoring`-based backend, which can be selected via the passing `'monitoring'` to the `Bdb` class's new backend parameter. (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-124533.)

### difflib

- The `IS_LINE_JUNK()` function is now up to twice as fast. (Contributed by Adam Turner and Semyon Moroz in gh-130167.)

### gc

- From Python 3.14.5 onwards:

  Python 3.14.0-3.14.4 shipped with a new incremental garbage collector. However, due to a number of reports of significant memory pressure in production environments, it has been reverted back to the generational GC from 3.13. This is the GC now used in Python 3.14.5 and later.

- Previously in Python 3.14.0-3.14.4:

  The new incremental garbage collector means that maximum pause times are reduced by an order of magnitude or more for larger heaps.

  Because of this optimization, the meaning of the results of `get_threshold()` and `set_threshold()` have changed, along with `get_count()` and `get_stats()`.

  - For backwards compatibility, `get_threshold()` continues to return a three-item tuple. The first value is the threshold for young collections, as before; the second value determines the rate at which the old collection is scanned (the default is 10, and higher values mean that the old collection is scanned more slowly). The third value is now meaningless and is always zero.

  - `set_threshold()` now ignores any items after the second.

  - `get_count()` and `get_stats()` continue to return the same format of results. The only difference is that instead of the results referring to the young, aging and old generations, the results refer to the young generation and the aging and collecting spaces of the old generation.

  In summary, code that attempted to manipulate the behavior of the cycle GC may not work exactly as intended, but it is very unlikely to be harmful. All other code will work just fine.

  (Contributed by Mark Shannon in gh-108362.)

### io

- Opening and reading files now executes fewer system calls. Reading a small operating system cached file in full is up to 15% faster. (Contributed by Cody Maloney and Victor Stinner in gh-120754 and gh-90102.)

### pathlib

- `Path.read_bytes` now uses unbuffered mode to open files, which is between 9% and 17% faster to read in full. (Contributed by Cody Maloney in gh-120754.)

### pdb

- `pdb` now supports two backends, based on either `sys.settrace()` or `sys.monitoring`. Using the pdb CLI or `breakpoint()` will always use the `sys.monitoring` backend. Explicitly instantiating `pdb.Pdb` and its derived classes will use the `sys.settrace()` backend by default, which is configurable. (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-124533.)

### textwrap

- Optimize the `dedent()` function, improving performance by an average of 2.4x, with larger improvements for bigger inputs, and fix a bug with incomplete normalization of blank lines with whitespace characters other than space and tab.

### uuid

- `uuid3()` and `uuid5()` are now both roughly 40% faster for 16-byte names and 20% faster for 1024-byte names. Performance for longer names remains unchanged. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-128150.)

- `uuid4()` is now c. 30% faster. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-128150.)

### zlib

- On Windows, zlib-ng is now used as the implementation of the `zlib` module in the default binaries. There are no known incompatibilities between `zlib-ng` and the previously-used `zlib` implementation. This should result in better performance at all compression levels.

  It is worth noting that `zlib.Z_BEST_SPEED` (`1`) may result in significantly less compression than the previous implementation, whilst also significantly reducing the time taken to compress.

## 削除

### argparse

- Remove the type, choices, and metavar parameters of `BooleanOptionalAction`. These have been deprecated since Python 3.12. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-118805.)

- Calling `add_argument_group()` on an argument group now raises a `ValueError`. Similarly, `add_argument_group()` or `add_mutually_exclusive_group()` on a mutually exclusive group now both raise `ValueError`s. This 'nesting' was never supported, often failed to work correctly, and was unintentionally exposed through inheritance. This functionality has been deprecated since Python 3.11. (Contributed by Savannah Ostrowski in gh-127186.)

### ast

- Remove the following classes, which have been deprecated aliases of `Constant` since Python 3.8 and have emitted deprecation warnings since Python 3.12:

  - `Bytes`

  - `Ellipsis`

  - `NameConstant`

  - `Num`

  - `Str`

  As a consequence of these removals, user-defined `visit_Num`, `visit_Str`, `visit_Bytes`, `visit_NameConstant` and `visit_Ellipsis` methods on custom `NodeVisitor` subclasses will no longer be called when the `NodeVisitor` subclass is visiting an AST. Define a `visit_Constant` method instead.

  (Contributed by Alex Waygood in gh-119562.)

- Remove the following deprecated properties on `ast.Constant`, which were present for compatibility with the now-removed AST classes:

  - `Constant.n`

  - `Constant.s`

  Use `Constant.value` instead. (Contributed by Alex Waygood in gh-119562.)

### asyncio

- Remove the following classes, methods, and functions, which have been deprecated since Python 3.12:

  - `AbstractChildWatcher`

  - `FastChildWatcher`

  - `MultiLoopChildWatcher`

  - `PidfdChildWatcher`

  - `SafeChildWatcher`

  - `ThreadedChildWatcher`

  - `AbstractEventLoopPolicy.get_child_watcher()`

  - `AbstractEventLoopPolicy.set_child_watcher()`

  - `get_child_watcher()`

  - `set_child_watcher()`

  (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-120804.)

- `asyncio.get_event_loop()` now raises a `RuntimeError` if there is no current event loop, and no longer implicitly creates an event loop.

  (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-126353.)

  There's a few patterns that use `asyncio.get_event_loop()`, most of them can be replaced with `asyncio.run()`.

  If you're running an async function, simply use `asyncio.run()`.

  Before:

      async def main():
          ...

      loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
      try:
          loop.run_until_complete(main())
      finally:
          loop.close()

  After:

      async def main():
          ...

      asyncio.run(main())

  If you need to start something, for example, a server listening on a socket and then run forever, use `asyncio.run()` and an `asyncio.Event`.

  Before:

      def start_server(loop): ...

      loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
      try:
          start_server(loop)
          loop.run_forever()
      finally:
          loop.close()

  After:

      def start_server(loop): ...

      async def main():
          start_server(asyncio.get_running_loop())
          await asyncio.Event().wait()

      asyncio.run(main())

  If you need to run something in an event loop, then run some blocking code around it, use `asyncio.Runner`.

  Before:

      async def operation_one(): ...
      def blocking_code(): ...
      async def operation_two(): ...

      loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
      try:
          loop.run_until_complete(operation_one())
          blocking_code()
          loop.run_until_complete(operation_two())
      finally:
          loop.close()

  After:

      async def operation_one(): ...
      def blocking_code(): ...
      async def operation_two(): ...

      with asyncio.Runner() as runner:
          runner.run(operation_one())
          blocking_code()
          runner.run(operation_two())

### email

- Remove `email.utils.localtime()`'s isdst parameter, which was deprecated in and has been ignored since Python 3.12. (Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in gh-118798.)

### importlib.abc

- Remove deprecated `importlib.abc` classes:

  - `ResourceReader` (use `TraversableResources`)

  - `Traversable` (use `Traversable`)

  - `TraversableResources` (use `TraversableResources`)

  (Contributed by Jason R. Coombs and Hugo van Kemenade in gh-93963.)

### itertools

- Remove support for copy, deepcopy, and pickle operations from `itertools` iterators. These have emitted a `DeprecationWarning` since Python 3.12. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in gh-101588.)

### pathlib

- Remove support for passing additional keyword arguments to `Path`. In previous versions, any such arguments are ignored. (Contributed by Barney Gale in gh-74033.)

- Remove support for passing additional positional arguments to `PurePath.relative_to()` and `is_relative_to()`. In previous versions, any such arguments are joined onto other. (Contributed by Barney Gale in gh-78707.)

### pkgutil

- Remove the `get_loader()` and `find_loader()` functions, which have been deprecated since Python 3.12. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-97850.)

### pty

- Remove the `master_open()` and `slave_open()` functions, which have been deprecated since Python 3.12. Use `pty.openpty()` instead. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-118824.)

### sqlite3

- Remove `version` and `version_info` from the `sqlite3` module; use `sqlite_version` and `sqlite_version_info` for the actual version number of the runtime SQLite library. (Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in gh-118924.)

- Using a sequence of parameters with named placeholders now raises a `ProgrammingError`, having been deprecated since Python 3.12. (Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in gh-118928 and gh-101693.)

### urllib

- Remove the `Quoter` class from `urllib.parse`, which has been deprecated since Python 3.11. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-118827.)

- Remove the `URLopener` and `FancyURLopener` classes from `urllib.request`, which have been deprecated since Python 3.3.

  `myopener.open()` can be replaced with `urlopen()`. `myopener.retrieve()` can be replaced with `urlretrieve()`. Customisations to the opener classes can be replaced by passing customized handlers to `build_opener()`. (Contributed by Barney Gale in gh-84850.)

## 非推奨

### New deprecations

- Passing a complex number as the real or imag argument in the `complex()` constructor is now deprecated; complex numbers should only be passed as a single positional argument. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-109218.)

- `argparse`:

  - Passing the undocumented keyword argument prefix_chars to the `add_argument_group()` method is now deprecated. (Contributed by Savannah Ostrowski in gh-125563.)

  - Deprecated the `argparse.FileType` type converter. Anything relating to resource management should be handled downstream, after the arguments have been parsed. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-58032.)

- `asyncio`:

  - The `asyncio.iscoroutinefunction()` is now deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.16; use `inspect.iscoroutinefunction()` instead. (Contributed by Jiahao Li and Kumar Aditya in gh-122875.)

  - The `asyncio` policy system is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.16. In particular, the following classes and functions are deprecated:

    - `asyncio.AbstractEventLoopPolicy`

    - `asyncio.DefaultEventLoopPolicy`

    - `asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy`

    - `asyncio.WindowsProactorEventLoopPolicy`

    - `asyncio.get_event_loop_policy()`

    - `asyncio.set_event_loop_policy()`

    Users should use `asyncio.run()` or `asyncio.Runner` with the loop_factory argument to use the desired event loop implementation.

    For example, to use `asyncio.SelectorEventLoop` on Windows:

        import asyncio

        async def main():
            ...

        asyncio.run(main(), loop_factory=asyncio.SelectorEventLoop)

    (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-127949.)

- `codecs`: The `codecs.open()` function is now deprecated, and will be removed in a future version of Python. Use `open()` instead. (Contributed by Inada Naoki in gh-133036.)

- `ctypes`:

  - On non-Windows platforms, setting `Structure._pack_` to use a MSVC-compatible default memory layout is now deprecated in favor of setting `Structure._layout_` to `'ms'`, and will be removed in Python 3.19. (Contributed by Petr Viktorin in gh-131747.)

  - Calling `ctypes.POINTER()` on a string is now deprecated. Use incomplete types for self-referential structures. Also, the internal `ctypes._pointer_type_cache` is deprecated. See `ctypes.POINTER()` for updated implementation details. (Contributed by Sergey Myrianov in gh-100926.)

- `functools`: Calling the Python implementation of `functools.reduce()` with function or sequence as keyword arguments is now deprecated; the parameters will be made positional-only in Python 3.16. (Contributed by Kirill Podoprigora in gh-121676.)

- `logging`: Support for custom logging handlers with the strm argument is now deprecated and scheduled for removal in Python 3.16. Define handlers with the stream argument instead. (Contributed by Mariusz Felisiak in gh-115032.)

- `mimetypes`: Valid extensions are either empty or must start with '.' for `mimetypes.MimeTypes.add_type()`. Undotted extensions are deprecated and will raise a `ValueError` in Python 3.16. (Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in gh-75223.)

- `nturl2path`: This module is now deprecated. Call `urllib.request.url2pathname()` and `pathname2url()` instead. (Contributed by Barney Gale in gh-125866.)

- `os`: The `os.popen()` and `os.spawn*` functions are now soft deprecated. They should no longer be used to write new code. The `subprocess` module is recommended instead. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-120743.)

- `pathlib`: `pathlib.PurePath.as_uri()` is now deprecated and scheduled for removal in Python 3.19. Use `pathlib.Path.as_uri()` instead. (Contributed by Barney Gale in gh-123599.)

- `pdb`: The undocumented `pdb.Pdb.curframe_locals` attribute is now a deprecated read-only property, which will be removed in a future version of Python. The low overhead dynamic frame locals access added in Python 3.13 by PEP 667 means the frame locals cache reference previously stored in this attribute is no longer needed. Derived debuggers should access `pdb.Pdb.curframe.f_locals` directly in Python 3.13 and later versions. (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-124369 and gh-125951.)

- `symtable`: Deprecate `symtable.Class.get_methods()` due to the lack of interest, scheduled for removal in Python 3.16. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-119698.)

- `tkinter`: The `tkinter.Variable` methods `trace_variable()`, `trace_vdelete()` and `trace_vinfo()` are now deprecated. Use `trace_add()`, `trace_remove()` and `trace_info()` instead. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-120220.)

- `urllib.parse`: Accepting objects with false values (like `0` and `[]`) except empty strings, bytes-like objects and `None` in `parse_qsl()` and `parse_qs()` is now deprecated. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-116897.)

### Pending removal in Python 3.15

- The import system:

  - Setting `__cached__` on a module while failing to set `__spec__.cached` is deprecated. In Python 3.15, `__cached__` will cease to be set or take into consideration by the import system or standard library. (gh-97879)

  - Setting `__package__` on a module while failing to set `__spec__.parent` is deprecated. In Python 3.15, `__package__` will cease to be set or take into consideration by the import system or standard library. (gh-97879)

- `ctypes`:

  - The undocumented `ctypes.SetPointerType()` function has been deprecated since Python 3.13.

- `http.server`:

  - The obsolete and rarely used `CGIHTTPRequestHandler` has been deprecated since Python 3.13. No direct replacement exists. Anything is better than CGI to interface a web server with a request handler.

  - The `--cgi` flag to the python -m http.server command-line interface has been deprecated since Python 3.13.

- `importlib`:

  - `load_module()` method: use `exec_module()` instead.

- `pathlib`:

  - `.PurePath.is_reserved()` has been deprecated since Python 3.13. Use `os.path.isreserved()` to detect reserved paths on Windows.

- `platform`:

  - `platform.java_ver()` has been deprecated since Python 3.13. This function is only useful for Jython support, has a confusing API, and is largely untested.

- `sysconfig`:

  - The check_home argument of `sysconfig.is_python_build()` has been deprecated since Python 3.12.

- `threading`:

  - `RLock()` will take no arguments in Python 3.15. Passing any arguments has been deprecated since Python 3.14, as the Python version does not permit any arguments, but the C version allows any number of positional or keyword arguments, ignoring every argument.

- `types`:

  - `types.CodeType`: Accessing `codeobject.co_lnotab` was deprecated in PEP 626 since 3.10 and was planned to be removed in 3.12, but it only got a proper `DeprecationWarning` in 3.12. May be removed in 3.15. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-101866.)

- `typing`:

  - The undocumented keyword argument syntax for creating `NamedTuple` classes (for example, `Point = NamedTuple("Point", x=int, y=int)`) has been deprecated since Python 3.13. Use the class-based syntax or the functional syntax instead.

  - When using the functional syntax of `TypedDict`s, failing to pass a value to the fields parameter (`TD = TypedDict("TD")`) or passing `None` (`TD = TypedDict("TD", None)`) has been deprecated since Python 3.13. Use `class TD(TypedDict): pass` or `TD = TypedDict("TD", {})` to create a TypedDict with zero field.

  - The `typing.no_type_check_decorator()` decorator function has been deprecated since Python 3.13. After eight years in the `typing` module, it has yet to be supported by any major type checker.

- `sre_compile`, `sre_constants` and `sre_parse` modules.

- `wave`:

  - The `getmark()`, `setmark()` and `getmarkers()` methods of the `Wave_read` and `Wave_write` classes have been deprecated since Python 3.13.

- `zipimport`:

  - `zipimport.zipimporter.load_module()` has been deprecated since Python 3.10. Use `exec_module()` instead. (gh-125746.)

### Pending removal in Python 3.16

- The import system:

  - Setting `__loader__` on a module while failing to set `__spec__.loader` is deprecated. In Python 3.16, `__loader__` will cease to be set or taken into consideration by the import system or the standard library.

- `array`:

  - The `'u'` format code (`wchar_t`) has been deprecated in documentation since Python 3.3 and at runtime since Python 3.13. Use the `'w'` format code (`Py_UCS4`) for Unicode characters instead.

- `asyncio`:

  - `asyncio.iscoroutinefunction()` is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.16; use `inspect.iscoroutinefunction()` instead. (Contributed by Jiahao Li and Kumar Aditya in gh-122875.)

  - `asyncio` policy system is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.16. In particular, the following classes and functions are deprecated:

    - `asyncio.AbstractEventLoopPolicy`

    - `asyncio.DefaultEventLoopPolicy`

    - `asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy`

    - `asyncio.WindowsProactorEventLoopPolicy`

    - `asyncio.get_event_loop_policy()`

    - `asyncio.set_event_loop_policy()`

    Users should use `asyncio.run()` or `asyncio.Runner` with loop_factory to use the desired event loop implementation.

    For example, to use `asyncio.SelectorEventLoop` on Windows:

        import asyncio

        async def main():
            ...

        asyncio.run(main(), loop_factory=asyncio.SelectorEventLoop)

    (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-127949.)

- `builtins`:

  - Bitwise inversion on boolean types, `~True` or `~False` has been deprecated since Python 3.12, as it produces surprising and unintuitive results (`-2` and `-1`). Use `not x` instead for the logical negation of a Boolean. In the rare case that you need the bitwise inversion of the underlying integer, convert to `int` explicitly (`~int(x)`).

- `functools`:

  - Calling the Python implementation of `functools.reduce()` with function or sequence as keyword arguments has been deprecated since Python 3.14.

- `logging`:

  - Support for custom logging handlers with the strm argument is deprecated and scheduled for removal in Python 3.16. Define handlers with the stream argument instead. (Contributed by Mariusz Felisiak in gh-115032.)

- `mimetypes`:

  - Valid extensions start with a '.' or are empty for `mimetypes.MimeTypes.add_type()`. Undotted extensions are deprecated and will raise a `ValueError` in Python 3.16. (Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in gh-75223.)

- `shutil`:

  - The `ExecError` exception has been deprecated since Python 3.14. It has not been used by any function in `shutil` since Python 3.4, and is now an alias of `RuntimeError`.

- `symtable`:

  - The `symtable.Class.get_methods()` method has been deprecated since Python 3.14.

- `sys`:

  - The `_enablelegacywindowsfsencoding()` function has been deprecated since Python 3.13. Use the `PYTHONLEGACYWINDOWSFSENCODING` environment variable instead.

- `sysconfig`:

  - The `sysconfig.expand_makefile_vars()` function has been deprecated since Python 3.14. Use the `vars` argument of `sysconfig.get_paths()` instead.

- `tarfile`:

  - The undocumented and unused `TarInfo.tarfile` attribute has been deprecated since Python 3.13.

### Pending removal in Python 3.17

- `datetime`:

  - `strptime()` calls using a format string containing `%e` (day of month) without a year. This has been deprecated since Python 3.15. (Contributed by Stan Ulbrych in gh-70647.)

- `collections.abc`:

  - `collections.abc.ByteString` is scheduled for removal in Python 3.17.

    Use `isinstance(obj, collections.abc.Buffer)` to test if `obj` implements the buffer protocol at runtime. For use in type annotations, either use `Buffer` or a union that explicitly specifies the types your code supports (e.g., `bytes | bytearray | memoryview`).

    `ByteString` was originally intended to be an abstract class that would serve as a supertype of both `bytes` and `bytearray`. However, since the ABC never had any methods, knowing that an object was an instance of `ByteString` never actually told you anything useful about the object. Other common buffer types such as `memoryview` were also never understood as subtypes of `ByteString` (either at runtime or by static type checkers).

    See PEP 688 for more details. (Contributed by Shantanu Jain in gh-91896.)

- `encodings`:

  - Passing non-ascii encoding names to `encodings.normalize_encoding()` is deprecated and scheduled for removal in Python 3.17. (Contributed by Stan Ulbrych in gh-136702.)

- `webbrowser`:

  - `webbrowser.MacOSXOSAScript` is deprecated in favour of `webbrowser.MacOS`. (gh-137586)

- `typing`:

  - Before Python 3.14, old-style unions were implemented using the private class `typing._UnionGenericAlias`. This class is no longer needed for the implementation, but it has been retained for backward compatibility, with removal scheduled for Python 3.17. Users should use documented introspection helpers like `typing.get_origin()` and `typing.get_args()` instead of relying on private implementation details.

  - `typing.ByteString`, deprecated since Python 3.9, is scheduled for removal in Python 3.17.

    Use `isinstance(obj, collections.abc.Buffer)` to test if `obj` implements the buffer protocol at runtime. For use in type annotations, either use `Buffer` or a union that explicitly specifies the types your code supports (e.g., `bytes | bytearray | memoryview`).

    `ByteString` was originally intended to be an abstract class that would serve as a supertype of both `bytes` and `bytearray`. However, since the ABC never had any methods, knowing that an object was an instance of `ByteString` never actually told you anything useful about the object. Other common buffer types such as `memoryview` were also never understood as subtypes of `ByteString` (either at runtime or by static type checkers).

    See PEP 688 for more details. (Contributed by Shantanu Jain in gh-91896.)

### Pending removal in Python 3.18

- No longer accept a boolean value when a file descriptor is expected. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-82626.)

- `decimal`:

  - The non-standard and undocumented `Decimal` format specifier `'N'`, which is only supported in the `decimal` module's C implementation, has been deprecated since Python 3.13. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-89902.)

- Deprecations defined by PEP 829:

  - `import` lines in `name.pth` files are silently ignored.

  (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in gh-148641.)

### Pending removal in Python 3.19

- `ctypes`:

  - Implicitly switching to the MSVC-compatible struct layout by setting `_pack_` but not `_layout_` on non-Windows platforms.

- `hashlib`:

  - In hash function constructors such as `new()` or the direct hash-named constructors such as `md5()` and `sha256()`, their optional initial data parameter could also be passed a keyword argument named `data=` or `string=` in various `hashlib` implementations.

    Support for the `string` keyword argument name is now deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.19.

    Before Python 3.13, the `string` keyword parameter was not correctly supported depending on the backend implementation of hash functions. Prefer passing the initial data as a positional argument for maximum backwards compatibility.

- `http.cookies`:

  - `http.cookies.Morsel.js_output()` is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.19.

  - `http.cookies.BaseCookie.js_output()` is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.19.

- `imaplib`:

  - Altering `IMAP4.file` is now deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.19. This property is now unused and changing its value does not automatically close the current file.

    Before Python 3.14, this property was used to implement the corresponding `read()` and `readline()` methods for `IMAP4` but this is no longer the case since then.

### Pending removal in Python 3.20

- Calling the `__new__()` method of `struct.Struct` without the format argument is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.20. Calling `__init__()` method on initialized `Struct` objects is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.20.

  (Contributed by Sergey B Kirpichev and Serhiy Storchaka in gh-143715.)

- The `__version__`, `version` and `VERSION` attributes have been deprecated in these standard library modules and will be removed in Python 3.20. Use `sys.version_info` instead.

  - `argparse`

  - `csv`

  - `ctypes`

  - `ctypes.macholib`

  - `decimal` (use `decimal.SPEC_VERSION` instead)

  - `http.server`

  - `imaplib`

  - `ipaddress`

  - `json`

  - `logging` (`__date__` also deprecated)

  - `optparse`

  - `pickle`

  - `platform`

  - `re`

  - `socketserver`

  - `tabnanny`

  - `tarfile`

  - `tkinter.font`

  - `tkinter.ttk`

  - `wsgiref.simple_server`

  - `xml.etree.ElementTree`

  - `xml.sax.expatreader`

  - `xml.sax.handler`

  - `zlib`

  (Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade and Stan Ulbrych in gh-76007.)

- Deprecations defined by PEP 829:

  - Warnings are produced for `import` lines found in `name.pth` files.

  - `name.pth` files are no longer decoded in the locale encoding by default. They MUST be encoded in `utf-8-sig`.

  (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in gh-148641.)

- `ast`:

  - Creating instances of abstract AST nodes (such as `ast.AST` or `ast.expr`) is deprecated and will raise an error in Python 3.20.

### Pending removal in future versions

The following APIs will be removed in the future, although there is currently no date scheduled for their removal.

- `argparse`:

  - Nesting argument groups and nesting mutually exclusive groups are deprecated.

  - Passing the undocumented keyword argument prefix_chars to `add_argument_group()` is now deprecated.

  - The `argparse.FileType` type converter is deprecated.

- `builtins`:

  - Generators: `throw(type, exc, tb)` and `athrow(type, exc, tb)` signature is deprecated: use `throw(exc)` and `athrow(exc)` instead, the single argument signature.

  - Currently Python accepts numeric literals immediately followed by keywords, for example `0in x`, `1or x`, `0if 1else 2`. It allows confusing and ambiguous expressions like `[0x1for x in y]` (which can be interpreted as `[0x1 for x in y]` or `[0x1f or x in y]`). A syntax warning is raised if the numeric literal is immediately followed by one of keywords `and`, `else`, `for`, `if`, `in`, `is` and `or`. In a future release it will be changed to a syntax error. (gh-87999)

  - Support for `__index__()` and `__int__()` method returning non-int type: these methods will be required to return an instance of a strict subclass of `int`.

  - Support for `__float__()` method returning a strict subclass of `float`: these methods will be required to return an instance of `float`.

  - Support for `__complex__()` method returning a strict subclass of `complex`: these methods will be required to return an instance of `complex`.

  - Passing a complex number as the real or imag argument in the `complex()` constructor is now deprecated; it should only be passed as a single positional argument. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-109218.)

- `calendar`: `calendar.January` and `calendar.February` constants are deprecated and replaced by `calendar.JANUARY` and `calendar.FEBRUARY`. (Contributed by Prince Roshan in gh-103636.)

- `codecs`: use `open()` instead of `codecs.open()`. (gh-133038)

- `codeobject.co_lnotab`: use the `codeobject.co_lines()` method instead.

- `datetime`:

  - `utcnow()`: use `datetime.datetime.now(tz=datetime.UTC)`.

  - `utcfromtimestamp()`: use `datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp, tz=datetime.UTC)`.

- `gettext`: Plural value must be an integer.

- `importlib`:

  - `cache_from_source()` debug_override parameter is deprecated: use the optimization parameter instead.

- `importlib.metadata`:

  - `EntryPoints` tuple interface.

  - Implicit `None` on return values.

- `logging`: the `warn()` method has been deprecated since Python 3.3, use `warning()` instead.

- `mailbox`: Use of StringIO input and text mode is deprecated, use BytesIO and binary mode instead.

- `os`: Calling `os.register_at_fork()` in a multi-threaded process.

- `os.path`: `os.path.commonprefix()` is deprecated, use `os.path.commonpath()` for path prefixes. The `os.path.commonprefix()` function is being deprecated due to having a misleading name and module. The function is not safe to use for path prefixes despite being included in a module about path manipulation, meaning it is easy to accidentally introduce path traversal vulnerabilities into Python programs by using this function.

- `pydoc.ErrorDuringImport`: A tuple value for exc_info parameter is deprecated, use an exception instance.

- `re`: More strict rules are now applied for numerical group references and group names in regular expressions. Only sequence of ASCII digits is now accepted as a numerical reference. The group name in bytes patterns and replacement strings can now only contain ASCII letters and digits and underscore. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-91760.)

- `shutil`: `rmtree()`'s onerror parameter is deprecated in Python 3.12; use the onexc parameter instead.

- `ssl` options and protocols:

  - `ssl.SSLContext` without protocol argument is deprecated.

  - `ssl.SSLContext`: `set_npn_protocols()` and `selected_npn_protocol()` are deprecated: use ALPN instead.

  - `ssl.OP_NO_SSL*` options

  - `ssl.OP_NO_TLS*` options

  - `ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3`

  - `ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS`

  - `ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1`

  - `ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_1`

  - `ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2`

  - `ssl.TLSVersion.SSLv3`

  - `ssl.TLSVersion.TLSv1`

  - `ssl.TLSVersion.TLSv1_1`

- `threading` methods:

  - `threading.Condition.notifyAll()`: use `notify_all()`.

  - `threading.Event.isSet()`: use `is_set()`.

  - `threading.Thread.isDaemon()`, `threading.Thread.setDaemon()`: use `threading.Thread.daemon` attribute.

  - `threading.Thread.getName()`, `threading.Thread.setName()`: use `threading.Thread.name` attribute.

  - `threading.currentThread()`: use `threading.current_thread()`.

  - `threading.activeCount()`: use `threading.active_count()`.

- `typing.Text` (gh-92332).

- The internal class `typing._UnionGenericAlias` is no longer used to implement `typing.Union`. To preserve compatibility with users using this private class, a compatibility shim will be provided until at least Python 3.17. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-105499.)

- `unittest.IsolatedAsyncioTestCase`: it is deprecated to return a value that is not `None` from a test case.

- `urllib.parse` deprecated functions: `urlparse()` instead

  - `splitattr()`

  - `splithost()`

  - `splitnport()`

  - `splitpasswd()`

  - `splitport()`

  - `splitquery()`

  - `splittag()`

  - `splittype()`

  - `splituser()`

  - `splitvalue()`

  - `to_bytes()`

- `wsgiref`: `SimpleHandler.stdout.write()` should not do partial writes.

- `xml.etree.ElementTree`: Testing the truth value of an `Element` is deprecated. In a future release it will always return `True`. Prefer explicit `len(elem)` or `elem is not None` tests instead.

- `sys._clear_type_cache()` is deprecated: use `sys._clear_internal_caches()` instead.

## CPython バイトコードの変更

- Replaced the opcode `BINARY_SUBSCR` by the `BINARY_OP` opcode with the `NB_SUBSCR` oparg. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in gh-100239.)

- Add the `BUILD_INTERPOLATION` and `BUILD_TEMPLATE` opcodes to construct new `Interpolation` and `Template` instances, respectively. (Contributed by Lysandros Nikolaou and others in gh-132661; see also PEP 750: Template strings).

- Remove the `BUILD_CONST_KEY_MAP` opcode. Use `BUILD_MAP` instead. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in gh-122160.)

- Replace the `LOAD_ASSERTION_ERROR` opcode with `LOAD_COMMON_CONSTANT` and add support for loading `NotImplementedError`.

- Add the `LOAD_FAST_BORROW` and `LOAD_FAST_BORROW_LOAD_FAST_BORROW` opcodes to reduce reference counting overhead when the interpreter can prove that the reference in the frame outlives the reference loaded onto the stack. (Contributed by Matt Page in gh-130704.)

- Add the `LOAD_SMALL_INT` opcode, which pushes a small integer equal to the `oparg` to the stack. The `RETURN_CONST` opcode is removed as it is no longer used. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in gh-125837.)

- Add the new `LOAD_SPECIAL` instruction. Generate code for `with` and `async with` statements using the new instruction. Removed the `BEFORE_WITH` and `BEFORE_ASYNC_WITH` instructions. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in gh-120507.)

- Add the `POP_ITER` opcode to support 'virtual' iterators. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in gh-132554.)

### Pseudo-instructions

- Add the `ANNOTATIONS_PLACEHOLDER` pseudo instruction to support partially executed module-level annotations with deferred evaluation of annotations. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-130907.)

- Add the `BINARY_OP_EXTEND` pseudo instruction, which executes a pair of functions (guard and specialization functions) accessed from the inline cache. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in gh-100239.)

- Add three specializations for `CALL_KW`; `CALL_KW_PY` for calls to Python functions, `CALL_KW_BOUND_METHOD` for calls to bound methods, and `CALL_KW_NON_PY` for all other calls. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in gh-118093.)

- Add the `JUMP_IF_TRUE` and `JUMP_IF_FALSE` pseudo instructions, conditional jumps which do not impact the stack. Replaced by the sequence `COPY 1`, `TO_BOOL`, `POP_JUMP_IF_TRUE/FALSE`. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in gh-124285.)

- Add the `LOAD_CONST_MORTAL` pseudo instruction. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in gh-128685.)

- Add the `LOAD_CONST_IMMORTAL` pseudo instruction, which does the same as `LOAD_CONST`, but is more efficient for immortal objects. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in gh-125837.)

- Add the `NOT_TAKEN` pseudo instruction, used by `sys.monitoring` to record branch events (such as `BRANCH_LEFT`). (Contributed by Mark Shannon in gh-122548.)

## C API changes

### Python configuration C API

Add a PyInitConfig C API to configure the Python initialization without relying on C structures and the ability to make ABI-compatible changes in the future.

Complete the PEP 587 PyConfig C API by adding `PyInitConfig_AddModule()` which can be used to add a built-in extension module; a feature previously referred to as the "inittab".

Add `PyConfig_Get()` and `PyConfig_Set()` functions to get and set the current runtime configuration.

PEP 587 'Python Initialization Configuration' unified all the ways to configure Python's initialization. This PEP also unifies the configuration of Python's preinitialization and initialization in a single API. Moreover, this PEP only provides a single choice to embed Python, instead of having two 'Python' and 'Isolated' choices (PEP 587), to further simplify the API.

The lower level PEP 587 PyConfig API remains available for use cases with an intentionally higher level of coupling to CPython implementation details (such as emulating the full functionality of CPython's CLI, including its configuration mechanisms).

PEP 741 and PEP 587

### New features in the C API

- Add `Py_PACK_VERSION()` and `Py_PACK_FULL_VERSION()`, two new macros for bit-packing Python version numbers. This is useful for comparisons with `Py_Version` or `PY_VERSION_HEX`. (Contributed by Petr Viktorin in gh-128629.)

- Add `PyBytes_Join(sep, iterable)` function, similar to `sep.join(iterable)` in Python. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-121645.)

- Add functions to manipulate the configuration of the current runtime Python interpreter (PEP 741: Python configuration C API):

  - `PyConfig_Get()`

  - `PyConfig_GetInt()`

  - `PyConfig_Set()`

  - `PyConfig_Names()`

  (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-107954.)

- Add functions to configure Python initialization (PEP 741: Python configuration C API):

  - `Py_InitializeFromInitConfig()`

  - `PyInitConfig_AddModule()`

  - `PyInitConfig_Create()`

  - `PyInitConfig_Free()`

  - `PyInitConfig_FreeStrList()`

  - `PyInitConfig_GetError()`

  - `PyInitConfig_GetExitCode()`

  - `PyInitConfig_GetInt()`

  - `PyInitConfig_SetStr()`

  - `PyInitConfig_SetStrList()`

  (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-107954.)

- Add `Py_fopen()` function to open a file. This works similarly to the standard C `fopen()` function, instead accepting a Python object for the path parameter and setting an exception on error. The corresponding new `Py_fclose()` function should be used to close a file. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-127350.)

- Add `Py_HashBuffer()` to compute and return the hash value of a buffer. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou and Victor Stinner in gh-122854.)

- Add `PyImport_ImportModuleAttr()` and `PyImport_ImportModuleAttrString()` helper functions to import a module and get an attribute of the module. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-128911.)

This can be used in some cases as a replacement for checking if `Py_REFCNT()` is `1` for Python objects passed as arguments to C API functions. (Contributed by Sam Gross in gh-133164.)

### Limited C API changes

- In the limited C API version 3.14 and newer, `Py_TYPE()` and `Py_REFCNT()` are now implemented as an opaque function call to hide implementation details. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-120600 and gh-124127.)

- Remove the `PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE`, `PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM`, and `PySequence_Fast_ITEMS` macros from the limited C API, since they have always been broken in the limited C API. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-91417.)

### Removed C APIs

- Creating `immutable types` with mutable bases was deprecated in Python 3.12, and now raises a `TypeError`. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-119775.)

- Remove `PyDictObject.ma_version_tag` member, which was deprecated in Python 3.12. Use the `PyDict_AddWatcher()` API instead. (Contributed by Sam Gross in gh-124296.)

- Remove the private `_Py_InitializeMain()` function. It was a provisional API added to Python 3.8 by PEP 587. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-129033.)

- Remove the undocumented APIs `Py_C_RECURSION_LIMIT` and `PyThreadState.c_recursion_remaining`. These were added in 3.13 and have been removed without deprecation. Use `Py_EnterRecursiveCall()` to guard against runaway recursion in C code. (Removed by Petr Viktorin in gh-133079, see also gh-130396.)

### Deprecated C APIs

- The `Py_HUGE_VAL` macro is now soft deprecated. Use `INFINITY` instead. (Contributed by Sergey B Kirpichev in gh-120026.)

- The `Py_IS_NAN`, `Py_IS_INFINITY`, and `Py_IS_FINITE` macros are now soft deprecated. Use `isnan`, `isinf` and `isfinite` instead, available from `math.h` since C99. (Contributed by Sergey B Kirpichev in gh-119613.)

- Non-tuple sequences are now deprecated as argument for the `(items)` format unit in `PyArg_ParseTuple()` and other argument parsing functions if items contains format units which store a borrowed buffer or a borrowed reference. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-50333.)

- The `_PyMonitoring_FireBranchEvent` function is now deprecated and should be replaced with calls to `PyMonitoring_FireBranchLeftEvent()` and `PyMonitoring_FireBranchRightEvent()`.

- The previously undocumented function `PySequence_In()` is now soft deprecated. Use `PySequence_Contains()` instead. (Contributed by Yuki Kobayashi in gh-127896.)

## Build changes

- PEP 776: Emscripten is now an officially supported platform at tier 3. As a part of this effort, more than 25 bugs in Emscripten libc were fixed. Emscripten now includes support for `ctypes`, `termios`, and `fcntl`, as well as experimental support for the new default interactive shell. (Contributed by R. Hood Chatham in gh-127146, gh-127683, and gh-136931.)

- Official Android binary releases are now provided on python.org.

- GNU Autoconf 2.72 is now required to generate `configure`. (Contributed by Erlend Aasland in gh-115765.)

- `wasm32-unknown-emscripten` is now a PEP 11 tier 3 platform. (Contributed by R. Hood Chatham in gh-127146, gh-127683, and gh-136931.)

- `#pragma`-based linking with `python3*.lib` can now be switched off with Py_NO_LINK_LIB. (Contributed by Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin in gh-82909.)

- CPython now enables a set of recommended compiler options by default for improved security. Use the `--disable-safety` `configure` option to disable them, or the `--enable-slower-safety` option for a larger set of compiler options, albeit with a performance cost.

- The `WITH_FREELISTS` macro and `--without-freelists` `configure` option have been removed.

- The new `configure` option `--with-tail-call-interp` may be used to enable the experimental tail call interpreter. See 新しいインタープリタ for further details.

- To disable the new remote debugging support, use the `--without-remote-debug` `configure` option. This may be useful for security reasons.

- iOS and macOS apps can now be configured to redirect `stdout` and `stderr` content to the system log. (Contributed by Russell Keith-Magee in gh-127592.)

- The iOS testbed is now able to stream test output while the test is running. The testbed can also be used to run the test suite of projects other than CPython itself. (Contributed by Russell Keith-Magee in gh-127592.)

### `build-details.json`

Installations of Python now contain a new file, `build-details.json`. This is a static JSON document containing build details for CPython, to allow for introspection without needing to run code. This is helpful for use-cases such as Python launchers, cross-compilation, and so on.

`build-details.json` must be installed in the platform-independent standard library directory. This corresponds to the 'stdlib' `sysconfig` installation path, which can be found by running `sysconfig.get_path('stdlib')`.

PEP 739 -- `build-details.json` 1.0 -- a static description file for Python build details

### Discontinuation of PGP signatures

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) signatures will not be provided for releases of Python 3.14 or future versions. To verify CPython artifacts, users must use Sigstore verification materials. Releases have been signed using Sigstore since Python 3.11.

This change in release process was specified in PEP 761.

### Free-threaded Python is officially supported

The free-threaded build of Python is now supported and no longer experimental. This is the start of phase II where free-threaded Python is officially supported but still optional.

The free-threading team are confident that the project is on the right path, and appreciate the continued dedication from everyone working to make free-threading ready for broader adoption across the Python community.

With these recommendations and the acceptance of this PEP, the Python developer community should broadly advertise that free-threading is a supported Python build option now and into the future, and that it will not be removed without a proper deprecation schedule.

Any decision to transition to phase III, with free-threading as the default or sole build of Python is still undecided, and dependent on many factors both within CPython itself and the community. This decision is for the future.

PEP 779's acceptance

### Binary releases for the experimental just-in-time compiler

The official macOS and Windows release binaries now include an experimental just-in-time (JIT) compiler. Although it is not recommended for production use, it can be tested by setting `PYTHON_JIT=1` as an environment variable. Downstream source builds and redistributors can use the `--enable-experimental-jit=yes-off` configuration option for similar behavior.

The JIT is at an early stage and still in active development. As such, the typical performance impact of enabling it can range from 10% slower to 20% faster, depending on workload. To aid in testing and evaluation, a set of introspection functions has been provided in the `sys._jit` namespace. `sys._jit.is_available()` can be used to determine if the current executable supports JIT compilation, while `sys._jit.is_enabled()` can be used to tell if JIT compilation has been enabled for the current process.

Currently, the most significant missing functionality is that native debuggers and profilers like `gdb` and `perf` are unable to unwind through JIT frames (Python debuggers and profilers, like `pdb` or `profile`, continue to work without modification). Free-threaded builds do not support JIT compilation.

Please report any bugs or major performance regressions that you encounter!

## Porting to Python 3.14

このセクションでは前述の変更とバグフィックスにより必要となるかもしれないコードの変更を列挙します:

### Python API の変更

- On Unix platforms other than macOS, forkserver is now the default start method for `multiprocessing` and `ProcessPoolExecutor`, instead of fork.

  See (1) and (2) for details.

  If you encounter `NameError`s or pickling errors coming out of `multiprocessing` or `concurrent.futures`, see the forkserver restrictions.

  This change does not affect Windows or macOS, where 'spawn' remains the default start method.

- `functools.partial` is now a method descriptor. Wrap it in `staticmethod()` if you want to preserve the old behavior. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka and Dominykas Grigonis in gh-121027.)

- The garbage collector is now incremental, which means that the behavior of `gc.collect()` changes slightly:

  - `gc.collect(1)`: Performs an increment of garbage collection, rather than collecting generation 1.

  - Other calls to `gc.collect()` are unchanged.

- The `locale.nl_langinfo()` function now temporarily sets the `LC_CTYPE` locale in some cases. This temporary change affects other threads. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-69998.)

- `types.UnionType` is now an alias for `typing.Union`, causing changes in some behaviors. See above for more details. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in gh-105499.)

- The runtime behavior of annotations has changed in various ways; see above for details. While most code that interacts with annotations should continue to work, some undocumented details may behave differently.

- As part of making the `mimetypes` CLI public, it now exits with `1` on failure instead of `0` and `2` on incorrect command-line parameters instead of `1`. Error messages are now printed to stderr.

- The `\B` pattern in regular expression now matches the empty string when given as the entire pattern, which may cause behavioural changes.

- On FreeBSD, `sys.platform` no longer contains the major version number.

### Changes in annotations (PEP 649 and PEP 749)

This section contains guidance on changes that may be needed to annotations or Python code that interacts with or introspects annotations, due to the changes related to deferred evaluation of annotations.

In the majority of cases, working code from older versions of Python will not require any changes.

#### Implications for annotated code

If you define annotations in your code (for example, for use with a static type checker), then this change probably does not affect you: you can keep writing annotations the same way you did with previous versions of Python.

You will likely be able to remove quoted strings in annotations, which are frequently used for forward references. Similarly, if you use `from __future__ import annotations` to avoid having to write strings in annotations, you may well be able to remove that import once you support only Python 3.14 and newer. However, if you rely on third-party libraries that read annotations, those libraries may need changes to support unquoted annotations before they work as expected.

#### Implications for readers of `__annotations__`

If your code reads the `__annotations__` attribute on objects, you may want to make changes in order to support code that relies on deferred evaluation of annotations. For example, you may want to use `annotationlib.get_annotations()` with the `FORWARDREF` format, as the `dataclasses` module now does.

The external typing_extensions package provides partial backports of some of the functionality of the `annotationlib` module, such as the `Format` enum and the `get_annotations()` function. These can be used to write cross-version code that takes advantage of the new behavior in Python 3.14.

#### Related changes

The changes in Python 3.14 are designed to rework how `__annotations__` works at runtime while minimizing breakage to code that contains annotations in source code and to code that reads `__annotations__`. However, if you rely on undocumented details of the annotation behavior or on private functions in the standard library, there are many ways in which your code may not work in Python 3.14. To safeguard your code against future changes, only use the documented functionality of the `annotationlib` module.

In particular, do not read annotations directly from the namespace dictionary attribute of type objects. Use `annotationlib.get_annotate_from_class_namespace()` during class construction and `annotationlib.get_annotations()` afterwards.

In previous releases, it was sometimes possible to access class annotations from an instance of an annotated class. This behavior was undocumented and accidental, and will no longer work in Python 3.14.

#### `from __future__ import annotations`

In Python 3.7, PEP 563 introduced the `from __future__ import annotations` future statement, which turns all annotations into strings.

However, this statement is now deprecated and it is expected to be removed in a future version of Python. This removal will not happen until after Python 3.13 reaches its end of life in 2029, being the last version of Python without support for deferred evaluation of annotations.

In Python 3.14, the behavior of code using `from __future__ import annotations` is unchanged.

### C API の変更

- `Py_Finalize()` now deletes all interned strings. This is backwards incompatible to any C extension that holds onto an interned string after a call to `Py_Finalize()` and is then reused after a call to `Py_Initialize()`. Any issues arising from this behavior will normally result in crashes during the execution of the subsequent call to `Py_Initialize()` from accessing uninitialized memory. To fix, use an address sanitizer to identify any use-after-free coming from an interned string and deallocate it during module shutdown. (Contributed by Eddie Elizondo in gh-113601.)

- The Unicode Exception Objects C API now raises a `TypeError` if its exception argument is not a `UnicodeError` object. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-127691.)

- The interpreter internally avoids some reference count modifications when loading objects onto the operands stack by borrowing references when possible. This can lead to smaller reference count values compared to previous Python versions. C API extensions that checked `Py_REFCNT()` of `1` to determine if an function argument is not referenced by any other code should instead use `PyUnstable_Object_IsUniqueReferencedTemporary()` as a safer replacement.

- Private functions promoted to public C APIs:

  - `_PyBytes_Join()`: `PyBytes_Join()`

  - `_PyLong_IsNegative()`: `PyLong_IsNegative()`

  - `_PyLong_IsPositive()`: `PyLong_IsPositive()`

  - `_PyLong_IsZero()`: `PyLong_IsZero()`

  - `_PyLong_Sign()`: `PyLong_GetSign()`

  - `_PyUnicodeWriter_Dealloc()`: `PyUnicodeWriter_Discard()`

  - `_PyUnicodeWriter_Finish()`: `PyUnicodeWriter_Finish()`

  - `_PyUnicodeWriter_Init()`: use `PyUnicodeWriter_Create()`

  - `_PyUnicodeWriter_Prepare()`: (no replacement)

  - `_PyUnicodeWriter_PrepareKind()`: (no replacement)

  - `_PyUnicodeWriter_WriteChar()`: `PyUnicodeWriter_WriteChar()`

  - `_PyUnicodeWriter_WriteStr()`: `PyUnicodeWriter_WriteStr()`

  - `_PyUnicodeWriter_WriteSubstring()`: `PyUnicodeWriter_WriteSubstring()`

  - `_PyUnicode_EQ()`: `PyUnicode_Equal()`

  - `_PyUnicode_Equal()`: `PyUnicode_Equal()`

  - `_Py_GetConfig()`: `PyConfig_Get()` and `PyConfig_GetInt()`

  - `_Py_HashBytes()`: `Py_HashBuffer()`

  - `_Py_fopen_obj()`: `Py_fopen()`

  - `PyMutex_IsLocked()` : `PyMutex_IsLocked()`

  The pythoncapi-compat project can be used to get most of these new functions on Python 3.13 and older.

## Notable changes in 3.14.5

### gc

- The incremental garbage collector shipped in Python 3.14.0-3.14.4 has been reverted back to the generational garbage collector from 3.13, due to a number of reports of significant memory pressure in production environments. See Garbage collection for details.
