PEP 693 -- Python 3.12 リリーススケジュール

概要 -- リリースハイライト

Python 3.12 is a stable release of the Python programming language, with a mix of changes to the language and the standard library. The library changes focus on cleaning up deprecated APIs, usability, and correctness. Of note, the distutils package has been removed from the standard library. Filesystem support in os and pathlib has seen a number of improvements, and several modules have better performance.

f-strings は多くの制限が取り除かれ、 'Did you mean ...' サジェストも改善され続けています。新しい 型パラメータの構文 と type 文は、 ジェネリック と 型エイリアス を静的型チェッカーで使用する際の人間工学を改善します。

この記事は全ての新機能の完全な仕様を提供しようとするものではなく、便利な概要について説明をするものです。 全詳細については、 ライブラリリファレンス や 言語リファレンス などのドキュメントを参照してください。 変更の実装や設計原理について完全に理解したい場合は、特定の新機能の PEP を参照してください。 しかし、一旦機能が完全に実装されると、普通 PEP は最新の状態に保たれないことに注意してください。

新たな構文機能:

新たな文法機能:

インタープリタの改善:

Python のデータモデルの改善:

標準ライブラリーの顕著な改善

セキュリティの改善:

  • 組み込みの hashlib による SHA1, SHA3, SHA2-384, SHA2-512, MD5 の実装を、 HACL* プロジェクトから正式に検証されたコードに置き換えます。これらの組み込み実装は、 OpenSSL がそれらを提供しない場合にのみ使用されるフォールバックとして残ります。

C API の改善:

CPython の実装の改善:

  • PEP 709, 内包表記のインライン化

  • Linux perf プロファイラの CPython サポート

  • サポートされているプラットフォームでスタック・オーバーフロー保護を実装します

新しい型ヒントの機能:

重要な非推奨化、削除または制限:

  • PEP 623: Python の C API の Unicode オブジェクトから wstr を削除し、全ての str オブジェクトのサイズを少なくとも 8 バイト減らします

  • PEP 632: Remove the distutils package. See the migration guide for advice replacing the APIs it provided. The third-party Setuptools package continues to provide distutils, if you still require it in Python 3.12 and beyond.

  • gh-95299: venv で作成された仮想環境には setuptools をプリインストールしません。これは distutils, setuptools, pkg_resources, easy_install がデフォルトでは利用できなることを意味します。これらを利用するには、 有効化された 仮想環境で pip install setuptools を実行してください。

  • asynchat, asyncore, imp モジュールが、いくつかの unittest.TestCase メソッドのエイリアス と共に削除されました。

新しい機能

PEP 695: 型パラメータの構文

PEP 484 のジェネリッククラスと関数は、型パラメータのスコープが不明確なまま冗長な構文を使用して宣言されており、差異の明示的な宣言が必要でした。

PEP 695 は ジェネリッククラス と 関数 を作成するための、よりコンパクトで明示的な新しい方法を紹介します:

def max[T](args: Iterable[T]) -> T:
    ...

class list[T]:
    def __getitem__(self, index: int, /) -> T:
        ...

    def append(self, element: T) -> None:
        ...

さらに、 PEP では 型エイリアス を宣言する新しい方法が導入されました。 type 文を使用し、 TypeAliasType のインスタンスを作成します:

type Point = tuple[float, float]

型エイリアスは ジェネリック とすることもできます:

type Point[T] = tuple[T, T]

新しい構文では、 TypeVarTuple と ParamSpec パラメータ、および TypeVar パラメータに境界や制約を宣言することができます:

type IntFunc[**P] = Callable[P, int]  # ParamSpec
type LabeledTuple[*Ts] = tuple[str, *Ts]  # TypeVarTuple
type HashableSequence[T: Hashable] = Sequence[T]  # TypeVar with bound
type IntOrStrSequence[T: (int, str)] = Sequence[T]  # TypeVar with constraints

この構文で作成された型エイリアスの値や型変数の境界や制約はオンデマンドで評価されます (遅延評価 を参照してください)。つまり、型エイリアスはファイルの後半で定義された他の型を参照することができます。

型パラメータリストを通して宣言された型パラメータは、宣言のスコープと入れ子になったスコープ内では表示されますが、外側のスコープでは表示されません。例えば、ジェネリッククラスのメソッドの型アノテーションやクラス本体で使用することができます。しかし、クラス定義後にモジュールスコープ内で使用することはできません。型パラメータの実行時の解釈の問題に関する詳細な説明は Type parameter lists を参照してください。

このようなスコープの解釈の問題をサポートするために、 アノテーションスコープ という新しいスコープが導入されました。アノテーションスコープはほとんどの場合関数スコープと同じように動作しますが、外側のクラススコープとは異なる方法で対話します。 Python 3.13 では、 アノテーション もアノテーションスコープで評価されます。

より詳しくは PEP 695 を参照してください。

(PEP は Eric Traut によって作成されました。実装は Jelle Zijlstra, Eric Traut らによって gh-103764 で行われました。)

PEP 701: f-strings の構文的な形式化

PEP 701 は f-strings の使い方の制限をいくつか解除しました。 f-string 内の式コンポーネントは有効な Python 式であれば何でも使用できるようになりました。これには、 f-string を含む文字列と同じ引用符を再利用する文字列、複数行の式、コメント、バックスラッシュ、 Unicode エスケープシーケンスなどが含まれます。これらについて詳しく説明します:

  • クォートの再利用: Python 3.11 では、 f-string を囲むクォートと同じクォートを再利用すると SyntaxError が発生し、ユーザーは他の利用可能なクォート( f-string がシングルクォートを使用している場合に、ダブルクオートまたはトリプルクォートを使用するなど)を使用する必要があります。 Python 3.12 では次のようなことができるようになりました:

    >>> songs = ['Take me back to Eden', 'Alkaline', 'Ascensionism']
>>> f"This is the playlist: {", ".join(songs)}"
'This is the playlist: Take me back to Eden, Alkaline, Ascensionism'

    この変更以前は、 f-string のネスト方法に明示的な制限はありませんでしたが、 f-string の式コンポーネント内で文字列引用符を再利用できないという事実により、 f-string を任意にネストすることが不可能になったことに注意してください。実際、これは記述できる中で最もネストされた f-string です。

    >>> f"""{f'''{f'{f"{1+1}"}'}'''}"""
'2'

    f-string には式コンポーネント内に任意の有効な Python 式を含めることができるため、 f-string を任意にネストできるようになりました。

    >>> f"{f"{f"{f"{f"{f"{1+1}"}"}"}"}"}"
'2'

  • 複数行の式とコメント: Python 3.11 では、 f-string 式は1行で定義されなければいけませんでした。たとえ f-string 式が複数行にまたがっていても(リテラルリストが複数行にわたって定義されている場合など)、読みにくくなります。 Python 3.12 では、複数行にまたがる f-string を定義し、インラインコメントを追加できるようになりました:

    >>> f"This is the playlist: {", ".join([
...     'Take me back to Eden',  # My, my, those eyes like fire
...     'Alkaline',              # Not acid nor alkaline
...     'Ascensionism'           # Take to the broken skies at last
... ])}"
'This is the playlist: Take me back to Eden, Alkaline, Ascensionism'

  • バックスラッシュと unicode 文字: Python 3.12 以前では f-string 式に \ 文字を含めることはできませんでした。これは、 unicode エスケープシーケンス ( \N{snowman} など)にも影響しました。これは、 unicode のエスケープシーケンスにも影響し、これらは \N の部分を含んでいたため、以前は f-string の式コンポーネントの一部とすることができませんでした。このように式を定義することができます:

    >>> print(f"This is the playlist: {"\n".join(songs)}")
This is the playlist: Take me back to Eden
Alkaline
Ascensionism
>>> print(f"This is the playlist: {"\N{BLACK HEART SUIT}".join(songs)}")
This is the playlist: Take me back to Eden♥Alkaline♥Ascensionism

より詳しくは PEP 701 を参照してください。

この機能が実装されたことによる良い副作用として( PEG パーサ で f-string を解析することにより)、 f-string のエラーメッセージがより正確になり、エラーの正確な位置が含まれるようになりました。例えば、 Python 3.11 では、以下の f-string は SyntaxError をs送出させます:

>>> my_string = f"{x z y}" + f"{1 + 1}"
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    (x z y)
     ^^^
SyntaxError: f-string: invalid syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma?

しかし、エラーメッセージは行内の正確なエラーの位置を含まず、また式が人為的に括弧で囲まれています。 Python 3.12 では、 f-string は PEG パーサで解析されるため、エラーメッセージはより正確になり、行全体が表示されます:

>>> my_string = f"{x z y}" + f"{1 + 1}"
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    my_string = f"{x z y}" + f"{1 + 1}"
                   ^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma?

PEP 684: インタープリタごとの GIL

PEP 684 ではインタープリタごとの GIL が導入され、インタープリタごとの固有の GIL を使用してサブインタープリタを作成できるようになりました。これにより、 Python プログラムは複数の CPU コアを最大限に活用できるようになります。これは現在 C-API を通じてのみ利用できますが、 Python API は 3.13 で利用可能になる予定です。

独自の GIL を持つインタープリタを作成するには、新しい Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig() 関数を使います:

PyInterpreterConfig config = {
    .check_multi_interp_extensions = 1,
    .gil = PyInterpreterConfig_OWN_GIL,
};
PyThreadState *tstate = NULL;
PyStatus status = Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig(&tstate, &config);
if (PyStatus_Exception(status)) {
    return -1;
}
/* The new interpreter is now active in the current thread. */

For further examples how to use the C-API for sub-interpreters with a per-interpreter GIL, see Modules/_xxsubinterpretersmodule.c.

PEP 669: CPython の低影響モニタリング

PEP 669 は、 CPython でイベントを監視するためのプロファイラ、デバッガー、およびその他のツール用の新しい API を定義します。呼び出し、戻り値、行、例外、ジャンプなどを含む幅広いイベントをカバーします。つまり、使用した分だけ料金を支払い、オーバーヘッドがほぼゼロのデバッガーとカバレッジツールのサポートを提供します。詳細については sys.monitoring を参照してください。

(Mark Shannon による gh-103082 での貢献)

PEP 688: バッファプロトコルを Python で利用可能にする

PEP 688 は Python のコードから バッファプロトコル を利用する方法を導入します。 __buffer__() メソッドを実装するクラスは今やバッファ型として利用可能です。

新規追加された collections.abc.Buffer ABC は、例えば型注釈で、バッファオブジェクトを表現する標準的な方法を提供します。新規追加された inspect.BufferFlags enum はバッファ生成を調整するフラグを表現します。(Jelle Zijltra による gh-102500 での貢献。)

PEP 709: 内包表記のインライン化

辞書、リスト、そして集合の内包表記は今やインライン化され、内包表記の毎回の実行の度に一度しか使われない関数オブジェクトが新規作成されることはなくなります。これにより内包表記の実行は最大２倍速くなります。詳しくは PEP 709 を参照してください。

Comprehension iteration variables remain isolated and don't overwrite a variable of the same name in the outer scope, nor are they visible after the comprehension. Inlining does result in a few visible behavior changes:

  • There is no longer a separate frame for the comprehension in tracebacks, and tracing/profiling no longer shows the comprehension as a function call.

  • The symtable module will no longer produce child symbol tables for each comprehension; instead, the comprehension's locals will be included in the parent function's symbol table.

  • Calling locals() inside a comprehension now includes variables from outside the comprehension, and no longer includes the synthetic .0 variable for the comprehension "argument".

  • A comprehension iterating directly over locals() (e.g. [k for k in locals()]) may see "RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration" when run under tracing (e.g. code coverage measurement). This is the same behavior already seen in e.g. for k in locals():. To avoid the error, first create a list of keys to iterate over: keys = list(locals()); [k for k in keys].

(Contributed by Carl Meyer and Vladimir Matveev in PEP 709.)

エラーメッセージの改善

  • Modules from the standard library are now potentially suggested as part of the error messages displayed by the interpreter when a NameError is raised to the top level. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in gh-98254.)

    >>> sys.version_info
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'sys' is not defined. Did you forget to import 'sys'?

  • Improve the error suggestion for NameError exceptions for instances. Now if a NameError is raised in a method and the instance has an attribute that's exactly equal to the name in the exception, the suggestion will include self.<NAME> instead of the closest match in the method scope. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in gh-99139.)

    >>> class A:
...    def __init__(self):
...        self.blech = 1
...
...    def foo(self):
...        somethin = blech
...
>>> A().foo()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    somethin = blech
               ^^^^^
NameError: name 'blech' is not defined. Did you mean: 'self.blech'?

  • Improve the SyntaxError error message when the user types import x from y instead of from y import x. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in gh-98931.)

    >>> import a.y.z from b.y.z
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    import a.y.z from b.y.z
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Did you mean to use 'from ... import ...' instead?

  • ImportError exceptions raised from failed from <module> import <name> statements now include suggestions for the value of <name> based on the available names in <module>. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in gh-91058.)

    >>> from collections import chainmap
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'chainmap' from 'collections'. Did you mean: 'ChainMap'?

その他の言語変更

  • The parser now raises SyntaxError when parsing source code containing null bytes. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in gh-96670.)

  • A backslash-character pair that is not a valid escape sequence now generates a SyntaxWarning, instead of DeprecationWarning. For example, re.compile("\d+\.\d+") now emits a SyntaxWarning ("\d" is an invalid escape sequence, use raw strings for regular expression: re.compile(r"\d+\.\d+")). In a future Python version, SyntaxError will eventually be raised, instead of SyntaxWarning. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-98401.)

  • Octal escapes with value larger than 0o377 (ex: "\477"), deprecated in Python 3.11, now produce a SyntaxWarning, instead of DeprecationWarning. In a future Python version they will be eventually a SyntaxError. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-98401.)

  • Variables used in the target part of comprehensions that are not stored to can now be used in assignment expressions (:=). For example, in [(b := 1) for a, b.prop in some_iter], the assignment to b is now allowed. Note that assigning to variables stored to in the target part of comprehensions (like a) is still disallowed, as per PEP 572. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-100581.)

  • Exceptions raised in a class or type's __set_name__ method are no longer wrapped by a RuntimeError. Context information is added to the exception as a PEP 678 note. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in gh-77757.)

  • When a try-except* construct handles the entire ExceptionGroup and raises one other exception, that exception is no longer wrapped in an ExceptionGroup. Also changed in version 3.11.4. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in gh-103590.)

  • The Garbage Collector now runs only on the eval breaker mechanism of the Python bytecode evaluation loop instead of object allocations. The GC can also run when PyErr_CheckSignals() is called so C extensions that need to run for a long time without executing any Python code also have a chance to execute the GC periodically. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in gh-97922.)

  • All builtin and extension callables expecting boolean parameters now accept arguments of any type instead of just bool and int. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-60203.)

  • memoryview now supports the half-float type (the "e" format code). (Contributed by Donghee Na and Antoine Pitrou in gh-90751.)

  • slice objects are now hashable, allowing them to be used as dict keys and set items. (Contributed by Will Bradshaw, Furkan Onder, and Raymond Hettinger in gh-101264.)

  • sum() now uses Neumaier summation to improve accuracy and commutativity when summing floats or mixed ints and floats. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in gh-100425.)

  • ast.parse() now raises SyntaxError instead of ValueError when parsing source code containing null bytes. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in gh-96670.)

  • The extraction methods in tarfile, and shutil.unpack_archive(), have a new a filter argument that allows limiting tar features than may be surprising or dangerous, such as creating files outside the destination directory. See tarfile extraction filters for details. In Python 3.14, the default will switch to 'data'. (Contributed by Petr Viktorin in PEP 706.)

  • types.MappingProxyType instances are now hashable if the underlying mapping is hashable. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-87995.)

  • Add support for the perf profiler through the new environment variable PYTHONPERFSUPPORT and command-line option -X perf, as well as the new sys.activate_stack_trampoline(), sys.deactivate_stack_trampoline(), and sys.is_stack_trampoline_active() functions. (Design by Pablo Galindo. Contributed by Pablo Galindo and Christian Heimes with contributions from Gregory P. Smith [Google] and Mark Shannon in gh-96123.)

新たなモジュール

  • None.

改良されたモジュール

array

asyncio

  • The performance of writing to sockets in asyncio has been significantly improved. asyncio now avoids unnecessary copying when writing to sockets and uses sendmsg() if the platform supports it. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-91166.)

  • Add asyncio.eager_task_factory() and asyncio.create_eager_task_factory() functions to allow opting an event loop in to eager task execution, making some use-cases 2x to 5x faster. (Contributed by Jacob Bower & Itamar Oren in gh-102853, gh-104140, and gh-104138)

  • On Linux, asyncio uses asyncio.PidfdChildWatcher by default if os.pidfd_open() is available and functional instead of asyncio.ThreadedChildWatcher. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-98024.)

  • The event loop now uses the best available child watcher for each platform (asyncio.PidfdChildWatcher if supported and asyncio.ThreadedChildWatcher otherwise), so manually configuring a child watcher is not recommended. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-94597.)

  • Add loop_factory parameter to asyncio.run() to allow specifying a custom event loop factory. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-99388.)

  • Add C implementation of asyncio.current_task() for 4x-6x speedup. (Contributed by Itamar Oren and Pranav Thulasiram Bhat in gh-100344.)

  • asyncio.iscoroutine() now returns False for generators as asyncio does not support legacy generator-based coroutines. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-102748.)

  • asyncio.wait() and asyncio.as_completed() now accepts generators yielding tasks. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-78530.)

calendar

csv

dis

  • Pseudo instruction opcodes (which are used by the compiler but do not appear in executable bytecode) are now exposed in the dis module. HAVE_ARGUMENT is still relevant to real opcodes, but it is not useful for pseudo instructions. Use the new dis.hasarg collection instead. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in gh-94216.)

  • Add the dis.hasexc collection to signify instructions that set an exception handler. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in gh-94216.)

fractions

importlib.resources

inspect

itertools

  • Add itertools.batched() for collecting into even-sized tuples where the last batch may be shorter than the rest. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in gh-98363.)

math

  • Add math.sumprod() for computing a sum of products. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in gh-100485.)

  • Extend math.nextafter() to include a steps argument for moving up or down multiple steps at a time. (Contributed by Matthias Goergens, Mark Dickinson, and Raymond Hettinger in gh-94906.)

os

  • Add os.PIDFD_NONBLOCK to open a file descriptor for a process with os.pidfd_open() in non-blocking mode. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-93312.)

  • os.DirEntry now includes an os.DirEntry.is_junction() method to check if the entry is a junction. (Contributed by Charles Machalow in gh-99547.)

  • Add os.listdrives(), os.listvolumes() and os.listmounts() functions on Windows for enumerating drives, volumes and mount points. (Contributed by Steve Dower in gh-102519.)

  • os.stat() and os.lstat() are now more accurate on Windows. The st_birthtime field will now be filled with the creation time of the file, and st_ctime is deprecated but still contains the creation time (but in the future will return the last metadata change, for consistency with other platforms). st_dev may be up to 64 bits and st_ino up to 128 bits depending on your file system, and st_rdev is always set to zero rather than incorrect values. Both functions may be significantly faster on newer releases of Windows. (Contributed by Steve Dower in gh-99726.)

os.path

pathlib

プラットフォーム

  • Add support for detecting Windows 11 and Windows Server releases past 2012. Previously, lookups on Windows Server platforms newer than Windows Server 2012 and on Windows 11 would return Windows-10. (Contributed by Steve Dower in gh-89545.)

pdb

  • Add convenience variables to hold values temporarily for debug session and provide quick access to values like the current frame or the return value. (Contributed by Tian Gao in gh-103693.)

random

shutil

  • shutil.make_archive() now passes the root_dir argument to custom archivers which support it. In this case it no longer temporarily changes the current working directory of the process to root_dir to perform archiving. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-74696.)

  • shutil.rmtree() now accepts a new argument onexc which is an error handler like onerror but which expects an exception instance rather than a (typ, val, tb) triplet. onerror is deprecated. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in gh-102828.)

  • shutil.which() now consults the PATHEXT environment variable to find matches within PATH on Windows even when the given cmd includes a directory component. (Contributed by Charles Machalow in gh-103179.)

    shutil.which() will call NeedCurrentDirectoryForExePathW when querying for executables on Windows to determine if the current working directory should be prepended to the search path. (Contributed by Charles Machalow in gh-103179.)

    shutil.which() will return a path matching the cmd with a component from PATHEXT prior to a direct match elsewhere in the search path on Windows. (Contributed by Charles Machalow in gh-103179.)

sqlite3

statistics

  • Extend statistics.correlation() to include as a ranked method for computing the Spearman correlation of ranked data. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in gh-95861.)

sys

tempfile

threading

tkinter

  • tkinter.Canvas.coords() now flattens its arguments. It now accepts not only coordinates as separate arguments (x1, y1, x2, y2, ...) and a sequence of coordinates ([x1, y1, x2, y2, ...]), but also coordinates grouped in pairs ((x1, y1), (x2, y2), ... and [(x1, y1), (x2, y2), ...]), like create_*() methods. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-94473.)

tokenize

types

typing

  • isinstance() checks against runtime-checkable protocols now use inspect.getattr_static() rather than hasattr() to lookup whether attributes exist. This means that descriptors and __getattr__() methods are no longer unexpectedly evaluated during isinstance() checks against runtime-checkable protocols. However, it may also mean that some objects which used to be considered instances of a runtime-checkable protocol may no longer be considered instances of that protocol on Python 3.12+, and vice versa. Most users are unlikely to be affected by this change. (Contributed by Alex Waygood in gh-102433.)

  • The members of a runtime-checkable protocol are now considered "frozen" at runtime as soon as the class has been created. Monkey-patching attributes onto a runtime-checkable protocol will still work, but will have no impact on isinstance() checks comparing objects to the protocol. For example:

    >>> from typing import Protocol, runtime_checkable
>>> @runtime_checkable
... class HasX(Protocol):
...     x = 1
...
>>> class Foo: ...
...
>>> f = Foo()
>>> isinstance(f, HasX)
False
>>> f.x = 1
>>> isinstance(f, HasX)
True
>>> HasX.y = 2
>>> isinstance(f, HasX)  # unchanged, even though HasX now also has a "y" attribute
True

    This change was made in order to speed up isinstance() checks against runtime-checkable protocols.

  • The performance profile of isinstance() checks against runtime-checkable protocols has changed significantly. Most isinstance() checks against protocols with only a few members should be at least 2x faster than in 3.11, and some may be 20x faster or more. However, isinstance() checks against protocols with many members may be slower than in Python 3.11. (Contributed by Alex Waygood in gh-74690 and gh-103193.)

  • All typing.TypedDict and typing.NamedTuple classes now have the __orig_bases__ attribute. (Contributed by Adrian Garcia Badaracco in gh-103699.)

  • Add frozen_default parameter to typing.dataclass_transform(). (Contributed by Erik De Bonte in gh-99957.)

unicodedata

  • The Unicode database has been updated to version 15.0.0. (Contributed by Benjamin Peterson in gh-96734).

  • Add experimental support for using the BOLT binary optimizer in the build process, which improves performance by 1-5%. (Contributed by Kevin Modzelewski in gh-90536 and tuned by Donghee Na in gh-101525)

  • Speed up the regular expression substitution (functions re.sub() and re.subn() and corresponding re.Pattern methods) for replacement strings containing group references by 2--3 times. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-91524.)

  • Speed up asyncio.Task creation by deferring expensive string formatting. (Contributed by Itamar Oren in gh-103793.)

  • ast: The following features have been deprecated in documentation since Python 3.8, now cause a DeprecationWarning to be emitted at runtime when they are accessed or used, and will be removed in Python 3.14:

    • ast.Num

    • ast.Str

    • ast.Bytes

    • ast.NameConstant

    • ast.Ellipsis

    Use ast.Constant instead. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-90953.)

  • asyncio:

    • The child watcher classes asyncio.MultiLoopChildWatcher, asyncio.FastChildWatcher, asyncio.AbstractChildWatcher and asyncio.SafeChildWatcher are deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.14. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-94597.)

    • asyncio.set_child_watcher(), asyncio.get_child_watcher(), asyncio.AbstractEventLoopPolicy.set_child_watcher() and asyncio.AbstractEventLoopPolicy.get_child_watcher() are deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.14. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-94597.)

    • The get_event_loop() method of the default event loop policy now emits a DeprecationWarning if there is no current event loop set and it decides to create one. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka and Guido van Rossum in gh-100160.)

  • email: Deprecated the isdst parameter in email.utils.localtime(). (Contributed by Alan Williams in gh-72346.)

  • importlib.abc deprecated classes:

    • importlib.abc.ResourceReader

    • importlib.abc.Traversable

    • importlib.abc.TraversableResources

    Use importlib.resources.abc classes instead:

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

  • itertools had undocumented, inefficient, historically buggy, and inconsistent support for copy, deepcopy, and pickle operations. This will be removed in 3.14 for a significant reduction in code volume and maintenance burden. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in gh-101588.)

  • multiprocessing: The default start method will change to a safer one on Linux, BSDs, and other non-macOS POSIX platforms where 'fork' is currently the default (gh-84559). Adding a runtime warning about this was deemed too disruptive as the majority of code is not expected to care. Use the get_context() or set_start_method() APIs to explicitly specify when your code requires 'fork'. See コンテキストと開始方式.

  • pathlib: is_relative_to() and relative_to(): passing additional arguments is deprecated.

  • pkgutil: pkgutil.find_loader() and pkgutil.get_loader() now raise DeprecationWarning; use importlib.util.find_spec() instead. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-97850.)

  • pty:

  • sqlite3:

  • urllib: urllib.parse.Quoter is deprecated: it was not intended to be a public API. (Contributed by Gregory P. Smith in gh-88168.)

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.

  • locale:

  • 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:

  • 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:

  • 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 TypedDicts, 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

Pending removal in Python 3.17

  • 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.)

  • 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.

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

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.

Pending removal 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.

    • Delegation of int() to __trunc__() method.

    • 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 multi-threaded process.

  • 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:

  • 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.

削除

asynchat and asyncore

  • These two modules have been removed according to the schedule in PEP 594, having been deprecated in Python 3.6. Use asyncio instead. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-96580.)

configparser

distutils

  • Remove the distutils package. It was deprecated in Python 3.10 by PEP 632 "Deprecate distutils module". For projects still using distutils and cannot be updated to something else, the setuptools project can be installed: it still provides distutils. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-92584.)

ensurepip

  • Remove the bundled setuptools wheel from ensurepip, and stop installing setuptools in environments created by venv.

    pip (>= 22.1) does not require setuptools to be installed in the environment. setuptools-based (and distutils-based) packages can still be used with pip install, since pip will provide setuptools in the build environment it uses for building a package.

    easy_install, pkg_resources, setuptools and distutils are no longer provided by default in environments created with venv or bootstrapped with ensurepip, since they are part of the setuptools package. For projects relying on these at runtime, the setuptools project should be declared as a dependency and installed separately (typically, using pip).

    (Contributed by Pradyun Gedam in gh-95299.)

enum

  • Remove enum's EnumMeta.__getattr__, which is no longer needed for enum attribute access. (Contributed by Ethan Furman in gh-95083.)

ftplib

  • Remove ftplib's FTP_TLS.ssl_version class attribute: use the context parameter instead. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-94172.)

gzip

  • Remove the filename attribute of gzip's gzip.GzipFile, deprecated since Python 2.6, use the name attribute instead. In write mode, the filename attribute added '.gz' file extension if it was not present. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-94196.)

hashlib

  • Remove the pure Python implementation of hashlib's hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac(), deprecated in Python 3.10. Python 3.10 and newer requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 (PEP 644): this OpenSSL version provides a C implementation of pbkdf2_hmac() which is faster. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-94199.)

importlib

  • Many previously deprecated cleanups in importlib have now been completed:

    • References to, and support for module_repr() has been removed. (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in gh-97850.)

    • importlib.util.set_package, importlib.util.set_loader and importlib.util.module_for_loader have all been removed. (Contributed by Brett Cannon and Nikita Sobolev in gh-65961 and gh-97850.)

    • Support for find_loader() and find_module() APIs have been removed. (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in gh-98040.)

    • importlib.abc.Finder, pkgutil.ImpImporter, and pkgutil.ImpLoader have been removed. (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in gh-98040.)

imp

    # Uncomment the following line to cache the module.
    # sys.modules[module.__name__] = module
    loader.exec_module(module)
    return module

  • Remove imp functions and attributes with no replacements:

    • ドキュメント化されていない関数:

      • imp.init_builtin()

      • imp.load_compiled()

      • imp.load_dynamic()

      • imp.load_package()

    • imp.lock_held(), imp.acquire_lock(), imp.release_lock(): the locking scheme has changed in Python 3.3 to per-module locks.

    • imp.find_module() constants: SEARCH_ERROR, PY_SOURCE, PY_COMPILED, C_EXTENSION, PY_RESOURCE, PKG_DIRECTORY, C_BUILTIN, PY_FROZEN, PY_CODERESOURCE, IMP_HOOK.

io

  • Remove io's io.OpenWrapper and _pyio.OpenWrapper, deprecated in Python 3.10: just use open() instead. The open() (io.open()) function is a built-in function. Since Python 3.10, _pyio.open() is also a static method. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-94169.)

locale

smtpd

  • The smtpd module has been removed according to the schedule in PEP 594, having been deprecated in Python 3.4.7 and 3.5.4. Use the aiosmtpd PyPI module or any other asyncio-based server instead. (Contributed by Oleg Iarygin in gh-93243.)

sqlite3

  • The following undocumented sqlite3 features, deprecated in Python 3.10, are now removed:

    • sqlite3.enable_shared_cache()

    • sqlite3.OptimizedUnicode

    If a shared cache must be used, open the database in URI mode using the cache=shared query parameter.

    The sqlite3.OptimizedUnicode text factory has been an alias for str since Python 3.3. Code that previously set the text factory to OptimizedUnicode can either use str explicitly, or rely on the default value which is also str.

    (Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in gh-92548.)

ssl

  • Remove ssl's ssl.RAND_pseudo_bytes() function, deprecated in Python 3.6: use os.urandom() or ssl.RAND_bytes() instead. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-94199.)

  • Remove the ssl.match_hostname() function. It was deprecated in Python 3.7. OpenSSL performs hostname matching since Python 3.7, Python no longer uses the ssl.match_hostname() function. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-94199.)

  • Remove the ssl.wrap_socket() function, deprecated in Python 3.7: instead, create a ssl.SSLContext object and call its ssl.SSLContext.wrap_socket method. Any package that still uses ssl.wrap_socket() is broken and insecure. The function neither sends a SNI TLS extension nor validates the server hostname. Code is subject to CWE 295 (Improper Certificate Validation). (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-94199.)

unittest

webbrowser

  • Remove support for obsolete browsers from webbrowser. The removed browsers include: Grail, Mosaic, Netscape, Galeon, Skipstone, Iceape, Firebird, and Firefox versions 35 and below (gh-102871).

xml.etree.ElementTree

  • Remove the ElementTree.Element.copy() method of the pure Python implementation, deprecated in Python 3.10, use the copy.copy() function instead. The C implementation of xml.etree.ElementTree has no copy() method, only a __copy__() method. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-94383.)

zipimport

  • Remove zipimport's find_loader() and find_module() methods, deprecated in Python 3.10: use the find_spec() method instead. See PEP 451 for the rationale. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-94379.)

その他

  • Remove the suspicious rule from the documentation Makefile and Doc/tools/rstlint.py, both in favor of sphinx-lint. (Contributed by Julien Palard in gh-98179.)

  • Remove the keyfile and certfile parameters from the ftplib, imaplib, poplib and smtplib modules, and the key_file, cert_file and check_hostname parameters from the http.client module, all deprecated since Python 3.6. Use the context parameter (ssl_context in imaplib) instead. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-94172.)

  • Remove Jython compatibility hacks from several stdlib modules and tests. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-99482.)

  • Remove _use_broken_old_ctypes_structure_semantics_ flag from ctypes module. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in gh-99285.)

Python 3.12 への移植

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

  • 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.)

  • Remove randrange() functionality deprecated since Python 3.10. Formerly, randrange(10.0) losslessly converted to randrange(10). Now, it raises a TypeError. Also, the exception raised for non-integer values such as randrange(10.5) or randrange('10') has been changed from ValueError to TypeError. This also prevents bugs where randrange(1e25) would silently select from a larger range than randrange(10**25). (Originally suggested by Serhiy Storchaka gh-86388.)

  • argparse.ArgumentParser changed encoding and error handler for reading arguments from file (e.g. fromfile_prefix_chars option) from default text encoding (e.g. locale.getpreferredencoding(False)) to filesystem encoding and error handler. Argument files should be encoded in UTF-8 instead of ANSI Codepage on Windows.

  • Remove the asyncore-based smtpd module deprecated in Python 3.4.7 and 3.5.4. A recommended replacement is the asyncio-based aiosmtpd PyPI module.

  • shlex.split(): Passing None for s argument now raises an exception, rather than reading sys.stdin. The feature was deprecated in Python 3.9. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-94352.)

  • The os module no longer accepts bytes-like paths, like bytearray and memoryview types: only the exact bytes type is accepted for bytes strings. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-98393.)

  • syslog.openlog() and syslog.closelog() now fail if used in subinterpreters. syslog.syslog() may still be used in subinterpreters, but now only if syslog.openlog() has already been called in the main interpreter. These new restrictions do not apply to the main interpreter, so only a very small set of users might be affected. This change helps with interpreter isolation. Furthermore, syslog is a wrapper around process-global resources, which are best managed from the main interpreter. (Contributed by Donghee Na in gh-99127.)

  • The undocumented locking behavior of cached_property() is removed, because it locked across all instances of the class, leading to high lock contention. This means that a cached property getter function could now run more than once for a single instance, if two threads race. For most simple cached properties (e.g. those that are idempotent and simply calculate a value based on other attributes of the instance) this will be fine. If synchronization is needed, implement locking within the cached property getter function or around multi-threaded access points.

  • sys._current_exceptions() now returns a mapping from thread-id to an exception instance, rather than to a (typ, exc, tb) tuple. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in gh-103176.)

  • When extracting tar files using tarfile or shutil.unpack_archive(), pass the filter argument to limit features that may be surprising or dangerous. See Extraction filters for details.

  • The output of the tokenize.tokenize() and tokenize.generate_tokens() functions is now changed due to the changes introduced in PEP 701. This means that STRING tokens are not emitted any more for f-strings and the tokens described in PEP 701 are now produced instead: FSTRING_START, FSTRING_MIDDLE and FSTRING_END are now emitted for f-string "string" parts in addition to the appropriate tokens for the tokenization in the expression components. For example for the f-string f"start {1+1} end" the old version of the tokenizer emitted:

    1,0-1,18:           STRING         'f"start {1+1} end"'

    while the new version emits:

    1,0-1,2:            FSTRING_START  'f"'
1,2-1,8:            FSTRING_MIDDLE 'start '
1,8-1,9:            OP             '{'
1,9-1,10:           NUMBER         '1'
1,10-1,11:          OP             '+'
1,11-1,12:          NUMBER         '1'
1,12-1,13:          OP             '}'
1,13-1,17:          FSTRING_MIDDLE ' end'
1,17-1,18:          FSTRING_END    '"'

    Additionally, there may be some minor behavioral changes as a consequence of the changes required to support PEP 701. Some of these changes include:

    • The type attribute of the tokens emitted when tokenizing some invalid Python characters such as ! has changed from ERRORTOKEN to OP.

    • Incomplete single-line strings now also raise tokenize.TokenError as incomplete multiline strings do.

    • Some incomplete or invalid Python code now raises tokenize.TokenError instead of returning arbitrary ERRORTOKEN tokens when tokenizing it.

    • Mixing tabs and spaces as indentation in the same file is not supported anymore and will raise a TabError.

  • The threading module now expects the _thread module to have an _is_main_interpreter attribute. It is a function with no arguments that returns True if the current interpreter is the main interpreter.

    Any library or application that provides a custom _thread module should provide _is_main_interpreter(). (See gh-112826.)

Build Changes

  • Python no longer uses setup.py to build shared C extension modules. Build parameters like headers and libraries are detected in configure script. Extensions are built by Makefile. Most extensions use pkg-config and fall back to manual detection. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in gh-93939.)

  • va_start() with two parameters, like va_start(args, format), is now required to build Python. va_start() is no longer called with a single parameter. (Contributed by Kumar Aditya in gh-93207.)

  • CPython now uses the ThinLTO option as the default link time optimization policy if the Clang compiler accepts the flag. (Contributed by Donghee Na in gh-89536.)

  • Add COMPILEALL_OPTS variable in Makefile to override compileall options (default: -j0) in make install. Also merged the 3 compileall commands into a single command to build .pyc files for all optimization levels (0, 1, 2) at once. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-99289.)

  • Add platform triplets for 64-bit LoongArch:

    • loongarch64-linux-gnusf

    • loongarch64-linux-gnuf32

    • loongarch64-linux-gnu

    (Contributed by Zhang Na in gh-90656.)

  • PYTHON_FOR_REGEN now require Python 3.10 or newer.

  • Autoconf 2.71 and aclocal 1.16.4 is now required to regenerate configure. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in gh-89886.)

  • Windows builds and macOS installers from python.org now use OpenSSL 3.0.

  • PEP 683: Introduce Immortal Objects, which allows objects to bypass reference counts, and related changes to the C-API:

    • _Py_IMMORTAL_REFCNT: The reference count that defines an object

      as immortal.

    • _Py_IsImmortal Checks if an object has the immortal reference count.

    • PyObject_HEAD_INIT This will now initialize reference count to

      _Py_IMMORTAL_REFCNT when used with Py_BUILD_CORE.

    • SSTATE_INTERNED_IMMORTAL An identifier for interned unicode objects

      that are immortal.

    • SSTATE_INTERNED_IMMORTAL_STATIC An identifier for interned unicode

      objects that are immortal and static

    • sys.getunicodeinternedsize This returns the total number of unicode

      objects that have been interned. This is now needed for refleak.py to correctly track reference counts and allocated blocks

  • PEP 684: Add the new Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig() function and PyInterpreterConfig, which may be used to create sub-interpreters with their own GILs. (See PEP 684: インタープリタごとの GIL for more info.) (Contributed by Eric Snow in gh-104110.)

  • In the limited C API version 3.12, Py_INCREF() and Py_DECREF() functions are now implemented as opaque function calls to hide implementation details. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-105387.)

Python 3.12 への移植

  • Legacy Unicode APIs based on Py_UNICODE* representation has been removed. Please migrate to APIs based on UTF-8 or wchar_t*.

  • Argument parsing functions like PyArg_ParseTuple() doesn't support Py_UNICODE* based format (e.g. u, Z) anymore. Please migrate to other formats for Unicode like s, z, es, and U.

  • tp_weaklist for all static builtin types is always NULL. This is an internal-only field on PyTypeObject but we're pointing out the change in case someone happens to be accessing the field directly anyway. To avoid breakage, consider using the existing public C-API instead, or, if necessary, the (internal-only) _PyObject_GET_WEAKREFS_LISTPTR() macro.

  • This internal-only PyTypeObject.tp_subclasses may now not be a valid object pointer. Its type was changed to void* to reflect this. We mention this in case someone happens to be accessing the internal-only field directly.

    To get a list of subclasses, call the Python method __subclasses__() (using PyObject_CallMethod(), for example).

  • Add support of more formatting options (left aligning, octals, uppercase hexadecimals, intmax_t, ptrdiff_t, wchar_t C strings, variable width and precision) in PyUnicode_FromFormat() and PyUnicode_FromFormatV(). (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-98836.)

  • An unrecognized format character in PyUnicode_FromFormat() and PyUnicode_FromFormatV() now sets a SystemError. In previous versions it caused all the rest of the format string to be copied as-is to the result string, and any extra arguments discarded. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in gh-95781.)

  • Fix wrong sign placement in PyUnicode_FromFormat() and PyUnicode_FromFormatV(). (Contributed by Philip Georgi in gh-95504.)

  • Extension classes wanting to add a __dict__ or weak reference slot should use Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_DICT and Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_WEAKREF instead of tp_dictoffset and tp_weaklistoffset, respectively. The use of tp_dictoffset and tp_weaklistoffset is still supported, but does not fully support multiple inheritance (gh-95589), and performance may be worse. Classes declaring Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_DICT must call _PyObject_VisitManagedDict() and _PyObject_ClearManagedDict() to traverse and clear their instance's dictionaries. To clear weakrefs, call PyObject_ClearWeakRefs(), as before.

  • The PyUnicode_FSDecoder() function no longer accepts bytes-like paths, like bytearray and memoryview types: only the exact bytes type is accepted for bytes strings. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-98393.)

  • The Py_CLEAR, Py_SETREF and Py_XSETREF macros now only evaluate their arguments once. If an argument has side effects, these side effects are no longer duplicated. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-98724.)

  • The interpreter's error indicator is now always normalized. This means that PyErr_SetObject(), PyErr_SetString() and the other functions that set the error indicator now normalize the exception before storing it. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in gh-101578.)

  • _Py_RefTotal is no longer authoritative and only kept around for ABI compatibility. Note that it is an internal global and only available on debug builds. If you happen to be using it then you'll need to start using _Py_GetGlobalRefTotal().

  • The following functions now select an appropriate metaclass for the newly created type:

    Creating classes whose metaclass overrides tp_new is deprecated, and in Python 3.14+ it will be disallowed. Note that these functions ignore tp_new of the metaclass, possibly allowing incomplete initialization.

    Note that PyType_FromMetaclass() (added in Python 3.12) already disallows creating classes whose metaclass overrides tp_new (__new__() in Python).

    Since tp_new overrides almost everything PyType_From* functions do, the two are incompatible with each other. The existing behavior -- ignoring the metaclass for several steps of type creation -- is unsafe in general, since (meta)classes assume that tp_new was called. There is no simple general workaround. One of the following may work for you:

    • If you control the metaclass, avoid using tp_new in it:

      • If initialization can be skipped, it can be done in tp_init instead.

      • If the metaclass doesn't need to be instantiated from Python, set its tp_new to NULL using the Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION flag. This makes it acceptable for PyType_From* functions.

    • Avoid PyType_From* functions: if you don't need C-specific features (slots or setting the instance size), create types by calling the metaclass.

    • If you know the tp_new can be skipped safely, filter the deprecation warning out using warnings.catch_warnings() from Python.

  • PyOS_InputHook and PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer are no longer called in subinterpreters. This is because clients generally rely on process-wide global state (since these callbacks have no way of recovering extension module state).

    This also avoids situations where extensions may find themselves running in a subinterpreter that they don't support (or haven't yet been loaded in). See gh-104668 for more info.

  • PyLongObject has had its internals changed for better performance. Although the internals of PyLongObject are private, they are used by some extension modules. The internal fields should no longer be accessed directly, instead the API functions beginning PyLong_... should be used instead. Two new unstable API functions are provided for efficient access to the value of PyLongObjects which fit into a single machine word:

  • Custom allocators, set via PyMem_SetAllocator(), are now required to be thread-safe, regardless of memory domain. Allocators that don't have their own state, including "hooks", are not affected. If your custom allocator is not already thread-safe and you need guidance then please create a new GitHub issue and CC @ericsnowcurrently.
