Novas funcionalidades
=====================


PEP 563: Avaliação Postergada de Anotações
------------------------------------------

O advento das dicas de tipo no Python revelou dois problemas de
usabilidade gritantes com a funcionalidade das anotações adicionadas
em **PEP 3107** e refinadas ainda mais em **PEP 526**:

* as anotações só podiam usar nomes que já estavam disponíveis no
  escopo atual, ou seja, não suportavam referências de encaminhamento
  de nenhum tipo; e

* anotar o código-fonte teve efeitos adversos no tempo de
  inicialização dos programas Python.

Ambos os problemas são corrigidos com o adiamento da avaliação das
anotações. Em vez de compilar o código que executa expressões em
anotações em seu tempo de definição, o compilador armazena a anotação
em um formato de string equivalente ao AST da expressão em questão. Se
necessário, as anotações podem ser resolvidas em tempo de execução
usando "digitando.get_type_hints()". No caso comum em que isso não é
necessário, as anotações são mais baratas de armazenar (uma vez que
strings curtas são internadas pelo interpretador) e tornam o tempo de
inicialização mais rápido.

Em termos de usabilidade, as anotações agora suportam referências
futuras, tornando a seguinte sintaxe válida:

   class C:
       @classmethod
       def from_string(cls, source: str) -> C:
           ...

       def validate_b(self, obj: B) -> bool:
           ...

   class B:
       ...

Como essa mudança quebra a compatibilidade, o novo comportamento
precisa ser habilitado por módulo no Python 3.7 usando uma importação
de "__future__"

   from __future__ import annotations

Ele se tornará o padrão no Python 3.10.

PEP 538: Coerção de localidade C legada
---------------------------------------

Um desafio contínuo dentro da série Python 3 tem sido determinar uma
estratégia padrão sensata para lidar com a suposição de codificação de
texto "ASCII de 7 bits" atualmente implícita pelo uso da localidade C
ou POSIX padrão em plataformas não Windows.

A **PEP 538** atualiza a interface de linha de comando do
interpretador padrão para forçar automaticamente essa localidade para
uma localidade baseada em UTF-8 disponível conforme descrito na
documentação da nova variável de ambiente "PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE".
Configurar automaticamente "LC_CTYPE" desta forma significa que tanto
o interpretador central quanto as extensões C com reconhecimento da
localidade (como "readline") irão presumir o uso de UTF-8 como a
codificação de texto padrão, ao invés de ASCII.

A definição de suporte de plataforma na **PEP 11** também foi
atualizada para limitar o suporte de manipulação de texto completo
para localidades não baseadas em ASCII adequadamente configuradas.

Como parte dessa mudança, o tratador de erros padrão para "stdin" e
"stdout" agora é "surrogateescape" (em vez de "strict") ao usar
qualquer uma das localidades de destino de coerção definidas
(atualmente "C.UTF-8", "C.utf8" e "UTF-8"). O tratador de erros padrão
para "stderr" continua a ser "backslashreplace", independente da
localidade.

A coerção de localidade é silenciosa por padrão, mas para ajudar na
depuração de problemas de integração potencialmente relacionados à
localidade, avisos explícitos (emitidos diretamente em "stderr") podem
ser solicitados configurando "PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=warn". Essa
configuração também fará com que o tempo de execução do Python emita
um aviso se a localidade C legada permanecer ativa quando o
interpretador principal for inicializado.

Embora a coerção de localidade **PEP 538** tenha o benefício de também
afetar os módulos de extensão (como GNU "readline"), bem como
processos filhos (incluindo aqueles que executam aplicativos não
Python e versões mais antigas do Python), tem a desvantagem de exigir
que uma localidade de destino adequado esteja presente no sistema em
execução. Para tratador melhor o caso em que nenhuma localidade de
destino adequado está disponível (como ocorre no RHEL/CentOS 7, por
exemplo), o Python 3.7 também implementa PEP 540: Modo de tempo de
execução  UTF-8 forçado.

Ver também:

  **PEP 538** -- Forçando a localidade C legada para uma localidade
  baseada em UTF-8
     PEP escrita e implementada por Nick Coghlan.


PEP 540: Modo de tempo de execução  UTF-8 forçado
-------------------------------------------------

A nova opção de linha de comando "-X" "utf8" e a variável de ambiente
"PYTHONUTF8" podem ser usadas para habilitar o modo UTF-8 do Python.

Quando no modo UTF-8, o CPython ignora as configurações de localidade
e usa a codificação UTF-8 por padrão. Os tratador de erros para fluxos
"sys.stdin" e "sys.stdout" são configurados para "surrogateescape".

O modo UTF-8 forçado pode ser usado para alterar o comportamento de
manipulação de texto em um interpretador Python embutido sem alterar
as configurações de localidade de uma aplicação embutida.

Embora o modo UTF-8 da **PEP 540** tenha a vantagem de funcionar
independentemente de quais localidades estão disponíveis no sistema em
execução, ele tem a desvantagem de não ter efeito sobre os módulos de
extensão (como GNU "readline") , processos filho executando
aplicativos não-Python e processos filho executando versões anteriores
do Python. Para reduzir o risco de corromper dados de texto ao se
comunicar com tais componentes, o Python 3.7 também implementa PEP
540: Modo de tempo de execução  UTF-8 forçado).

O modo UTF-8 é habilitado por padrão quando a localidade é "C" ou
"POSIX", e o recurso de coerção de localidade **PEP 538** falha em
mudá-la para uma alternativa baseada em UTF-8 (seja falha é devido a
"PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=0" sendo definido, "LC_ALL" sendo definido, ou a
falta de uma localidade de destino adequada).

     PEP escrito e implementado por Victor Stinner


PEP 553: "breakpoint()" embutida
--------------------------------

Python 3.7 inclui a nova função embutida "breakpoint()" como uma
maneira fácil e consistente de entrar no depurador Python.

"breakpoint()" embutida chama "sys.breakpointhook()". Por padrão, o
último importa "pdb" e então chama "pdb.set_trace()", mas ao ligar
"sys.breakpointhook()" à função de sua escolha, "breakpoint()" pode
entrar em qualquer depurador. Além disso, a variável de ambiente
"PYTHONBREAKPOINT" pode ser configurada para o chamável de seu
depurador de escolha. Defina "PYTHONBREAKPOINT=0" para desabilitar
completamente o "breakpoint()" embutida.

  **PEP 553** -- breakpoint() embutida
     PEP escrita e implementada por Barry Warsaw


PEP 539: Nova API C para armazenamento local de thread
------------------------------------------------------

Enquanto Python fornece uma API C para suporte de armazenamento local
de thread; a existente API da armazenamento local de thread (TLS) usou
int para representar as chaves TLS em todas as plataformas. Isso
geralmente não tem sido um problema para plataformas oficialmente
suportadas, mas isso não é compatível com POSIX, nem portátil em
qualquer sentido prático.

A **PEP 539** muda isso fornecendo uma nova API de armazenamento
específico de thread (TSS) para CPython que substitui o uso da API de
TLS existente dentro do interpretador CPython, enquanto descontinua a
API existente. A API de TSS usa um novo tipo "Py_tss_t" em vez de int
para representar as chaves de TSS -- um tipo não visível cuja
definição pode depender da implementação TLS subjacente. Portanto,
isso permitirá construir CPython em plataformas onde a chave nativa de
TLS é definida de uma forma que não pode ser convertida com segurança
para int.

Observe que em plataformas onde a chave TLS nativa é definida de uma
forma que não pode ser convertida com segurança para int, todas as
funções da API TLS existente serão no-op e retornarão falha
imediatamente. Isso indica claramente que a API antiga não é suportada
em plataformas onde não pode ser usada de forma confiável e que nenhum
esforço será feito para adicionar tal suporte.

  **PEP 539** -- Uma nova API C para armazenamento local de thread no
  CPython
     PEP escrita por Erik M. Bray; implementação por Masayuki
     Yamamoto.


PEP 562: Personalização de acesso aos atributos do módulo
---------------------------------------------------------

Python 3.7 allows defining "__getattr__()" on modules and will call it
whenever a module attribute is otherwise not found.  Defining
"__dir__()" on modules is now also allowed.

Um exemplo típico de onde isso pode ser útil é a descontinuação do
atributo do módulo e o carregamento preguiçoso ou *lazy*.

  **PEP 562** -- Módulo "__getattr__" e "__dir__"
     PEP escrita e implementada por Ivan Levkivskyi


PEP 564: Novas funções de tempo com resolução de nanossegundos
--------------------------------------------------------------

A resolução dos relógios em sistemas modernos pode exceder a precisão
limitada de um número de ponto flutuante retornado pela função
"time.time()" e suas variantes. Para evitar perda de precisão, **PEP
564** adiciona seis novas variantes em "nanossegundos" das funções de
temporizador existentes ao módulo "time":

* "time.clock_gettime_ns()"

* "time.clock_settime_ns()"

* "time.monotonic_ns()"

* "time.perf_counter_ns()"

* "time.process_time_ns()"

* "time.time_ns()"

As novas funções retornam o número de nanossegundos como um valor
inteiro.

**Medições** mostram que no Linux e no Windows a resolução de
"time.time_ns()" é aproximadamente 3 vezes melhor do que
"time.time()".

  **PEP 564** -- Adiciona novas funções de tempo com resolução de
  nanossegundos
     PEP escrito e implementado por Victor Stinner


PEP 565: Mostra DeprecationWarning em "__main__"
------------------------------------------------

O tratamento padrão de "DeprecationWarning" foi alterado de forma que
esses avisos sejam mais uma vez mostrados por padrão, mas apenas
quando o código que os aciona está sendo executado diretamente no
módulo "__main__". Como resultado, os desenvolvedores de scripts de
arquivo único e aqueles que usam Python interativamente devem mais uma
vez começar a ver avisos de descontinuação para as APIs que usam, mas
os avisos de descontinuação acionados por aplicações importadas,
biblioteca e módulos de estrutura continuarão ocultos por padrão.

Como resultado dessa mudança, a biblioteca padrão agora permite que os
desenvolvedores escolham entre três comportamentos diferentes de aviso
de descontinuação:

* "FutureWarning": sempre exibida por padrão, recomendado para avisos
  que devem ser vistos pelos usuários finais da aplicação (por
  exemplo, para definições de configuração de aplicações
  descontinuadas).

* "DeprecationWarning": exibida por padrão apenas em "__main__" e ao
  executar testes, recomendado para avisos que devem ser vistos por
  outros desenvolvedores Python onde uma atualização de versão pode
  resultar em mudança de comportamento ou um erro.

* "PendingDeprecationWarning": exibida por padrão apenas ao executar
  testes, destinados a casos em que uma atualização de versão futura
  mudará a categoria de aviso para "DeprecationWarning" ou
  "FutureWarning".

Anteriormente, ambas "DeprecationWarning" e
"PendingDeprecationWarning" eram visíveis apenas durante a execução de
testes, o que significava que os desenvolvedores principalmente
escrevendo scripts de arquivo único ou usando Python interativamente
poderiam ser surpreendidos por alterações nas APIs que usavam.

PEP 560: Suporte básico para módulo "typing" e tipos genéricos
--------------------------------------------------------------

Initially **PEP 484** was designed in such way that it would not
introduce *any* changes to the core CPython interpreter. Now type
hints and the "typing" module are extensively used by the community,
so this restriction is removed. The PEP introduces two special methods
"__class_getitem__()" and "__mro_entries__()", these methods are now
used by most classes and special constructs in "typing". As a result,
the speed of various operations with types increased up to 7 times,
the generic types can be used without metaclass conflicts, and several
long standing bugs in "typing" module are fixed.

     PEP escrita e implementada por Ivan Levkivskyi


PEP 552: Arquivos .pyc baseados em hash
---------------------------------------

O Python tradicionalmente verifica a atualização dos arquivos de cache
em bytecode (ou seja, arquivos ".pyc") comparando os metadados da
fonte (registro de data e hora e tamanho da última modificação) com os
metadados da fonte salvos no cabeçalho do arquivo de cache quando foi
gerado. Embora eficaz, esse método de invalidação tem suas
desvantagens. Quando os registros de data e hora do sistema de
arquivos são muito grosseiros, o Python pode perder as atualizações de
origem, levando à confusão do usuário. Além disso, ter um registro de
data e hora no arquivo de cache é problemático para reprodutibilidade
de compilação e sistemas de compilação baseados em conteúdo.

**PEP 552** estende o formato pyc para permitir que o hash do arquivo
de origem seja usado para invalidação em vez do registro de data e
hora  da fonte. Esses arquivos ".pyc" são chamados de "baseados em
hash". Por padrão, Python ainda usa invalidação baseada em registro de
data e hora e não gera arquivos ".pyc" baseados em hash em tempo de
execução. Arquivos ".pyc" baseados em hash podem ser gerados com
"py_compile" ou "compileall".

Arquivos ".pyc" baseados em hash vêm em duas variantes: verificados e
não verificados. Python valida arquivos ".pyc" baseados em hash
verificados em relação aos arquivos fonte correspondentes em tempo de
execução, mas não o faz para pycs baseados em hash não verificados.
Arquivos ".pyc" baseados em hash não verificados são uma otimização de
desempenho útil para ambientes onde um sistema externo ao Python (por
exemplo, o sistema de construção) é responsável por manter os arquivos
".pyc" atualizados.

Veja a função Invalidação de bytecode em cache para mais informações.

PEP 545: Traduções da documentação do Python
--------------------------------------------

**PEP 545** descreve o processo de criação a manutenção das traduções
da documentação do Python.

Três novas traduções foram adicionadas:

* Japonês: https://docs.python.org/ja/

* Francês: https://docs.python.org/fr/

* Coreano: https://docs.python.org/ko/

     PEP escrita e implementada por Julien Palard, Inada Naoki e
     Victor Stinner.


Modo de Desenvolvimento do Python (-X dev)
------------------------------------------

A nova opção de linha de comando "-X" "dev" ou a nova variável de
ambiente "PYTHONDEVMODE" pode ser usada para habilitar Modo de
Desenvolvimento do Python. Quando está no modo de desenvolvimento, o
Python executa verificações adicionais em tempo de execução que são
muito caras para serem habilitadas por padrão. Veja a documentação
Modo de Desenvolvimento do Python para a descrição completa.


Outras mudanças na linguagem
============================

* Uma expressão "await" e compreensões contendo uma cláusula "async
  for" eram ilegais nas expressões em literais de strings formatadas
  devido a um problema com a implementação. No Python 3.7, esta
  restrição foi retirada.

* Mais de 255 argumentos agora podem ser passados para uma função, e
  uma função agora pode ter mais de 255 parâmetros. (Contribuição de
  Serhiy Storchaka em bpo-12844 e bpo-18896.)

* "bytes.fromhex()" e "bytearray.fromhex()" agora ignoram todos os
  espaços em branco ASCII, não apenas espaços. (Contribuição de Robert
  Xiao em bpo-28927.)

* "str", "bytes" e "bytearray" ganharam suporte para o novo método
  "isascii()", que pode ser usado para testar se uma string ou bytes
  contêm apenas os caracteres ASCII. (Contribuição de INADA Naoki em
  bpo-32677.)

* "ImportError" agora exibe o nome do módulo e o caminho do módulo
  "__file__" quando "from ... import ..." falha. (Contribuição de
  Matthias Bussonnier em bpo-29546.)

* Importações circulares envolvendo importações absolutas com ligação
  de um submódulo a um nome agora são suportadas. (Contribuição de
  Serhiy Storchaka em bpo-30024.)

* "object.__format__(x, '')" agora é equivalente a "str(x)" em vez de
  "format(str(self), '')". (Contribuição de Serhiy Storchaka em
  bpo-28974.)

* Para melhor prover suporte à criação dinâmica de rastreamentos de
  pilha, "types.TracebackType" agora pode ser instanciado a partir do
  código Python, e o atributo "tb_next" em tracebacks agora é
  gravável. (Contribuição de Nathaniel J. Smith em bpo-30579.)

* Ao usar a opção "-m", "sys.path[0]" agora é expandido para o caminho
  completo do diretório inicial, em vez de ser deixado como o
  diretório vazio (o que permite importações do *atual* diretório de
  trabalho no momento em que ocorre uma importação) (Contribuição de
  Nick Coghlan em bpo-33053.)

* A nova opção "-X" "importtime" ou a variável de ambiente
  "PYTHONPROFILEIMPORTTIME" pode ser usada para mostrar o tempo de
  cada importação de módulo. (Contribuição de Inada Naoki em
  bpo-31415.)


Novos módulos
=============


contextvars
-----------

O novo módulo "contextvars" e um conjunto de novas APIs C introduzem
suporte para *variáveis de contexto*. Variáveis de contexto são
conceitualmente semelhantes às variáveis locais de thread. Ao
contrário do TLS, as variáveis de contexto oferecem suporte a código
assíncrono corretamente.

Os módulos "asyncio" e "decimal" foram atualizados para usar e prover
suporte a variáveis de contexto prontas para uso. Particularmente o
contexto decimal ativo agora é armazenado em uma variável de contexto,
o que permite que operações decimais funcionem com o contexto correto
em código assíncrono.

Ver também:

  **PEP 567** -- Variáveis de contexto
     PEP escrita e implementada por Yury Selivanov


dataclasses
-----------

O novo decorador "dataclass()" fornece uma maneira de declarar
*classes de dados*. Uma classe de dados descreve seus atributos usando
anotações de variáveis de classe. Seu construtor e outros métodos
mágicos, como "__repr__()", "__eq__()" e "__hash__()" são gerados
automaticamente.

Exemplo:

   @dataclass
   class Point:
       x: float
       y: float
       z: float = 0.0

   p = Point(1.5, 2.5)
   print(p)   # produces "Point(x=1.5, y=2.5, z=0.0)"

Ver também:

  **PEP 557** -- Classes de dados
     PEP escrita e implementada por Eric V. Smith


importlib.resources
-------------------

The new "importlib.resources" module provides several new APIs and one
new ABC for access to, opening, and reading *resources* inside
packages. Resources are roughly similar to files inside packages, but
they needn't be actual files on the physical file system.  Module
loaders can provide a "get_resource_reader()" function which returns a
"importlib.abc.ResourceReader" instance to support this new API.
Built-in file path loaders and zip file loaders both support this.

(Contribuição de Barry Warsaw e Brett Cannon em bpo-32248.)

  do Python.


Módulos melhorados
==================


argparse
--------

O novo método "ArgumentParser.parse_intermixed_args()" permite
misturar opções e argumentos posicionais. (Contribuição de paul.j3 em
bpo-14191.)


asyncio
-------

O módulo "asyncio" recebeu muitos novos recursos, usabilidade e
melhorias de desempenho. Mudanças notáveis incluem:

* A nova função *provisória* "asyncio.run()" pode ser usada para
  executar uma corrotina a partir de código síncrono criando e
  destruindo automaticamente o laço de eventos. (Contribuição de Yury
  Selivanov em bpo-32314.)

* asyncio ganhou suporte para "contextvars". "loop.call_soon()",
  "loop.call_soon_threadsafe()", "loop.call_later()", "loop.call_at()"
  e "Future.add_done_callback()" têm um novo parâmetro somente-nomeado
  opcional *context*. "Tasks" agora rastreia seu contexto
  automaticamente. Veja **PEP 567** para mais detalhes. (Contribuição
  de Yury Selivanov em bpo-32436.)

* A nova função "asyncio.create_task()" foi adicionada como um atalho
  para "asyncio.get_event_loop().create_task()". (Contribuição de
  Andrew Svetlov em bpo-32311.)

* O novo método "loop.start_tls()" pode ser usado para atualizar uma
  conexão existente para TLS. (Contribuição de Yury Selivanov em
  bpo-23749.)

* O novo método "loop.sock_recv_into()" permite a leitura de dados de
  um soquete diretamente em um buffer fornecido, tornando possível
  reduzir as cópias de dados. (Contribuição de Antoine Pitrou em
  bpo-31819.)

* A nova função "asyncio.current_task()" retorna a instância "Task"
  atualmente em execução, e a nova função "asyncio.all_tasks()"
  retorna um conjunto de todas as instâncias "Task" existentes em um
  determinado laço. Os métodos "Task.current_task()" e
  "Task.all_tasks()" foram descontinuados. (Contribuição de Andrew
  Svetlov em bpo-32250.)

* A nova classe *provisória* "BufferedProtocol" permite implementar
  protocolos de streaming com controle manual sobre o buffer de
  recebimento. (Contribuição de Yury Selivanov em bpo-32251.)

* A nova função "asyncio.get_running_loop()" retorna o laço atualmente
  em execução e levanta uma exceção "RuntimeError" se nenhum laço
  estiver em execução. Isto contrasta com "asyncio.get_event_loop()",
  que irá *criar* um novo laço de eventos se nenhum estiver em
  execução. (Contribuição de Yury Selivanov em bpo-32269.)

* O novo método de corrotina "StreamWriter.wait_closed()" permite
  esperar até que o gravador de fluxo seja fechado. O novo método
  "StreamWriter.is_closing()" pode ser usado para determinar se o
  gravador está fechando. (Contribuição de Andrew Svetlov em
  bpo-32391.)

* O novo método de corrotina "loop.sock_sendfile()" permite enviar
  arquivos usando "os.sendfile" quando possível. (Contribuição de
  Andrew Svetlov em bpo-32410.)

* Os novos métodos "Future.get_loop()" e "Task.get_loop()" retornam a
  instância do laço no qual uma tarefa ou um future foi criado.
  "Server.get_loop()" permite fazer o mesmo para objetos
  "asyncio.Server". (Contribuição de Yury Selivanov em bpo-32415 e
  Srinivas Reddy Thatiparthy em bpo-32418.)

* Agora é possível controlar como as instâncias de "asyncio.Server"
  começam a servir. Anteriormente, o servidor começaria a servir
  imediatamente após ser criado. O novo argumento nomeado
  *start_serving* para "loop.create_server()" e
  "loop.create_unix_server()", bem como "Server.start_serving()" e
  "Server.serve_forever()" podem ser usados para dissociar a
  instanciação e o serviço do servidor. O novo método
  "Server.is_serving()" retorna "True" se o servidor estiver servindo.
  Os objetos "Server" agora são gerenciadores de contexto assíncronos:

     srv = await loop.create_server(...)

     async with srv:
         # algum código

     # Neste ponto, srv é fechado e não mais aceita novas conexões.

  (Contribuição de Yury Selivanov em bpo-32662.)

* Objetos de retorno de chamada retornados por "loop.call_later()"
  ganharam o novo método "when()" que retorna um registro de data e
  hora de retorno de chamada agendado absoluto. (Contribuição de
  Andrew Svetlov em bpo-32741.)

* O método "loop.create_datagram_endpoint() " ganhou suporte para
  soquetes Unix. (Contribuição de Quentin Dawans em bpo-31245.)

* As funções "asyncio.open_connection()", "asyncio.start_server()", os
  métodos "loop.create_connection()", "loop.create_server()",
  "loop.create_accepted_socket()" e suas variantes de soquete UNIX
  correspondentes agora aceitam o argumento nomeado
  *ssl_handshake_timeout*. (Contribuição de Neil Aspinall em
  bpo-29970.)

* O novo método "Handle.cancelled()" retorna "True" se o retorno de
  chamada foi cancelado. (Contribuição de Marat Sharafutdinov em
  bpo-31943.)

* A fonte de asyncio foi convertida para usar a sintaxe
  "async"/"await". (Contribuição de Andrew Svetlov em bpo-32193.)

* O novo método "ReadTransport.is_reading()" pode ser usado para
  determinar o estado de leitura do transporte. Além disso, chamadas
  para "ReadTransport.resume_reading()" e
  "ReadTransport.pause_reading()" agora são idempotentes.
  (Contribuição de Yury Selivanov em bpo-32356.)

* Loop methods which accept socket paths now support passing *path-
  like objects*. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-32066.)

* In "asyncio" TCP sockets on Linux are now created with "TCP_NODELAY"
  flag set by default. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov and Victor
  Stinner in bpo-27456.)

* Exceptions occurring in cancelled tasks are no longer logged.
  (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-30508.)

* New "WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy" and
  "WindowsProactorEventLoopPolicy" classes. (Contributed by Yury
  Selivanov in bpo-33792.)

Several "asyncio" APIs have been deprecated.


binascii
--------

The "b2a_uu()" function now accepts an optional *backtick* keyword
argument.  When it's true, zeros are represented by "'`'" instead of
spaces.  (Contributed by Xiang Zhang in bpo-30103.)


calendar
--------

The "HTMLCalendar" class has new class attributes which ease the
customization of CSS classes in the produced HTML calendar.
(Contributed by Oz Tiram in bpo-30095.)


collections
-----------

"collections.namedtuple()" now supports default values. (Contributed
by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-32320.)


compileall
----------

"compileall.compile_dir()" learned the new *invalidation_mode*
parameter, which can be used to enable hash-based .pyc invalidation.
The invalidation mode can also be specified on the command line using
the new "--invalidation-mode" argument. (Contributed by Benjamin
Peterson in bpo-31650.)


concurrent.futures
------------------

"ProcessPoolExecutor" and "ThreadPoolExecutor" now support the new
*initializer* and *initargs* constructor arguments. (Contributed by
Antoine Pitrou in bpo-21423.)

The "ProcessPoolExecutor" can now take the multiprocessing context via
the new *mp_context* argument. (Contributed by Thomas Moreau in
bpo-31540.)


contextlib
----------

The new "nullcontext()" is a simpler and faster no-op context manager
than "ExitStack". (Contributed by Jesse-Bakker in bpo-10049.)

The new "asynccontextmanager()", "AbstractAsyncContextManager", and
"AsyncExitStack" have been added to complement their synchronous
counterparts.  (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in bpo-29679 and
bpo-30241, and by Alexander Mohr and Ilya Kulakov in bpo-29302.)


cProfile
--------

The "cProfile" command line now accepts "-m module_name" as an
alternative to script path.  (Contributed by Sanyam Khurana in
bpo-21862.)


crypt
-----

The "crypt" module now supports the Blowfish hashing method.
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-31664.)

The "mksalt()" function now allows specifying the number of rounds for
hashing.  (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-31702.)


datetime
--------

The new "datetime.fromisoformat()" method constructs a "datetime"
object from a string in one of the formats output by
"datetime.isoformat()". (Contributed by Paul Ganssle in bpo-15873.)

The "tzinfo" class now supports sub-minute offsets. (Contributed by
Alexander Belopolsky in bpo-5288.)


dbm
---

"dbm.dumb" now supports reading read-only files and no longer writes
the index file when it is not changed.


decimal
-------

The "decimal" module now uses context variables to store the decimal
context. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-32630.)


dis
---

The "dis()" function is now able to disassemble nested code objects
(the code of comprehensions, generator expressions and nested
functions, and the code used for building nested classes).  The
maximum depth of disassembly recursion is controlled by the new
*depth* parameter. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-11822.)


distutils
---------

"README.rst" is now included in the list of distutils standard READMEs
and therefore included in source distributions. (Contributed by Ryan
Gonzalez in bpo-11913.)


enum
----

The "Enum" learned the new "_ignore_" class property, which allows
listing the names of properties which should not become enum members.
(Contributed by Ethan Furman in bpo-31801.)

In Python 3.8, attempting to check for non-Enum objects in "Enum"
classes will raise a "TypeError" (e.g. "1 in Color"); similarly,
attempting to check for non-Flag objects in a "Flag" member will raise
"TypeError" (e.g. "1 in Perm.RW"); currently, both operations return
"False" instead and are deprecated. (Contributed by Ethan Furman in
bpo-33217.)


functools
---------

"functools.singledispatch()" now supports registering implementations
using type annotations. (Contributed by Łukasz Langa in bpo-32227.)


gc
--

The new "gc.freeze()" function allows freezing all objects tracked by
the garbage collector and excluding them from future collections. This
can be used before a POSIX "fork()" call to make the GC copy-on-write
friendly or to speed up collection.  The new "gc.unfreeze()" functions
reverses this operation.  Additionally, "gc.get_freeze_count()" can be
used to obtain the number of frozen objects. (Contributed by Li Zekun
in bpo-31558.)


hmac
----

The "hmac" module now has an optimized one-shot "digest()" function,
which is up to three times faster than "HMAC()". (Contributed by
Christian Heimes in bpo-32433.)


http.client
-----------

"HTTPConnection" and "HTTPSConnection" now support the new *blocksize*
argument for improved upload throughput. (Contributed by Nir Soffer in
bpo-31945.)


http.server
-----------

"SimpleHTTPRequestHandler" now supports the HTTP "If-Modified-Since"
header.  The server returns the 304 response status if the target file
was not modified after the time specified in the header. (Contributed
by Pierre Quentel in bpo-29654.)

"SimpleHTTPRequestHandler" accepts the new *directory* argument, in
addition to the new "--directory" command line argument. With this
parameter, the server serves the specified directory, by default it
uses the current working directory. (Contributed by Stéphane Wirtel
and Julien Palard in bpo-28707.)

The new "ThreadingHTTPServer" class uses threads to handle requests
using "ThreadingMixIn". It is used when "http.server" is run with
"-m". (Contributed by Julien Palard in bpo-31639.)


idlelib e IDLE
--------------

Multiple fixes for autocompletion. (Contributed by Louie Lu in
bpo-15786.)

Module Browser (on the File menu, formerly called Class Browser), now
displays nested functions and classes in addition to top-level
functions and classes. (Contributed by Guilherme Polo, Cheryl Sabella,
and Terry Jan Reedy in bpo-1612262.)

The Settings dialog (Options, Configure IDLE) has been partly
rewritten to improve both appearance and function. (Contributed by
Cheryl Sabella and Terry Jan Reedy in multiple issues.)

The font sample now includes a selection of non-Latin characters so
that users can better see the effect of selecting a particular font.
(Contributed by Terry Jan Reedy in bpo-13802.) The sample can be
edited to include other characters. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka
in bpo-31860.)

The IDLE features formerly implemented as extensions have been
reimplemented as normal features.  Their settings have been moved from
the Extensions tab to other dialog tabs. (Contributed by Charles
Wohlganger and Terry Jan Reedy in bpo-27099.)

Editor code context option revised.  Box displays all context lines up
to maxlines.  Clicking on a context line jumps the editor to that
line.  Context colors for custom themes is added to Highlights tab of
Settings dialog. (Contributed by Cheryl Sabella and Terry Jan Reedy in
bpo-33642, bpo-33768, and bpo-33679.)

On Windows, a new API call tells Windows that tk scales for DPI. On
Windows 8.1+ or 10, with DPI compatibility properties of the Python
binary unchanged, and a monitor resolution greater than 96 DPI, this
should make text and lines sharper.  It should otherwise have no
effect. (Contributed by Terry Jan Reedy in bpo-33656.)

New in 3.7.1:

A saída em N linhas (50 por padrão) é compactada até um limite
inferior. N pode ser alterado na seção PyShell da página General da
caixa de diálogo Settings. Menos linhas, mas possivelmente extra
longas, podem ser espremidas clicando com o botão direito do mouse na
saída. A saída compactada pode ser expandida no local clicando duas
vezes no botão ou na área de transferência ou em uma janela separada
clicando com o botão direito do mouse. (Contribuição de Tal Einat em
bpo-1529353.)

The changes above have been backported to 3.6 maintenance releases.

NEW in 3.7.4:

Add "Run Customized" to the Run menu to run a module with customized
settings. Any command line arguments entered are added to sys.argv.
They re-appear in the box for the next customized run.  One can also
suppress the normal Shell main module restart.  (Contributed by Cheryl
Sabella, Terry Jan Reedy, and others in bpo-5680 and bpo-37627.)

New in 3.7.5:

Add optional line numbers for IDLE editor windows. Windows open
without line numbers unless set otherwise in the General tab of the
configuration dialog.  Line numbers for an existing window are shown
and hidden in the Options menu. (Contributed by Tal Einat and
Saimadhav Heblikar in bpo-17535.)


importlib
---------

The "importlib.abc.ResourceReader" ABC was introduced to support the
loading of resources from packages.  See also importlib.resources.
(Contributed by Barry Warsaw, Brett Cannon in bpo-32248.)

"importlib.reload()" now raises "ModuleNotFoundError" if the module
lacks a spec. (Contributed by Garvit Khatri in bpo-29851.)

"importlib.util.find_spec()" now raises "ModuleNotFoundError" instead
of "AttributeError" if the specified parent module is not a package
(i.e. lacks a "__path__" attribute). (Contributed by Milan Oberkirch
in bpo-30436.)

The new "importlib.util.source_hash()" can be used to compute the hash
of the passed source.  A hash-based .pyc file embeds the value
returned by this function.


io
--

The new "TextIOWrapper.reconfigure()" method can be used to
reconfigure the text stream with the new settings. (Contributed by
Antoine Pitrou in bpo-30526 and INADA Naoki in bpo-15216.)


ipaddress
---------

The new "subnet_of()" and "supernet_of()" methods of
"ipaddress.IPv6Network" and "ipaddress.IPv4Network" can be used for
network containment tests. (Contributed by Michel Albert and Cheryl
Sabella in bpo-20825.)


itertools
---------

"itertools.islice()" now accepts "integer-like objects" as start,
stop, and slice arguments. (Contributed by Will Roberts in bpo-30537.)


locale
------

The new *monetary* argument to "locale.format_string()" can be used to
make the conversion use monetary thousands separators and grouping
strings.  (Contributed by Garvit in bpo-10379.)

The "locale.getpreferredencoding()" function now always returns
"'UTF-8'" on Android or when in the forced UTF-8 mode.


logging
-------

"Logger" instances can now be pickled. (Contributed by Vinay Sajip in
bpo-30520.)

The new "StreamHandler.setStream()" method can be used to replace the
logger stream after handler creation. (Contributed by Vinay Sajip in
bpo-30522.)

It is now possible to specify keyword arguments to handler
constructors in configuration passed to "logging.config.fileConfig()".
(Contributed by Preston Landers in bpo-31080.)


math
----

The new "math.remainder()" function implements the IEEE 754-style
remainder operation.  (Contributed by Mark Dickinson in bpo-29962.)


mimetypes
---------

The MIME type of .bmp has been changed from "'image/x-ms-bmp'" to
"'image/bmp'". (Contributed by Nitish Chandra in bpo-22589.)


msilib
------

The new "Database.Close()" method can be used to close the MSI
database. (Contributed by Berker Peksag in bpo-20486.)


multiprocessing
---------------

The new "Process.close()" method explicitly closes the process object
and releases all resources associated with it.  "ValueError" is raised
if the underlying process is still running. (Contributed by Antoine
Pitrou in bpo-30596.)

The new "Process.kill()" method can be used to terminate the process
using the "SIGKILL" signal on Unix. (Contributed by Vitor Pereira in
bpo-30794.)

Non-daemonic threads created by "Process" are now joined on process
exit. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-18966.)


os
--

"os.fwalk()" now accepts the *path* argument as "bytes". (Contributed
by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-28682.)

"os.scandir()" gained support for file descriptors. (Contributed by
Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-25996.)

The new "register_at_fork()" function allows registering Python
callbacks to be executed at process fork. (Contributed by Antoine
Pitrou in bpo-16500.)

Added "os.preadv()" (combine the functionality of "os.readv()" and
"os.pread()") and "os.pwritev()" functions (combine the functionality
of "os.writev()" and "os.pwrite()"). (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in
bpo-31368.)

The mode argument of "os.makedirs()" no longer affects the file
permission bits of newly created intermediate-level directories.
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-19930.)

"os.dup2()" now returns the new file descriptor.  Previously, "None"
was always returned. (Contributed by Benjamin Peterson in bpo-32441.)

The structure returned by "os.stat()" now contains the "st_fstype"
attribute on Solaris and its derivatives. (Contributed by Jesús Cea
Avión in bpo-32659.)


pathlib
-------

The new "Path.is_mount()" method is now available on POSIX systems and
can be used to determine whether a path is a mount point. (Contributed
by Cooper Ry Lees in bpo-30897.)


pdb
---

"pdb.set_trace()" now takes an optional *header* keyword-only
argument.  If given, it is printed to the console just before
debugging begins.  (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in bpo-31389.)

"pdb" command line now accepts "-m module_name" as an alternative to
script file.  (Contributed by Mario Corchero in bpo-32206.)


py_compile
----------

"py_compile.compile()" -- and by extension, "compileall" -- now
respects the "SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH" environment variable by
unconditionally creating ".pyc" files for hash-based validation. This
allows for guaranteeing reproducible builds of ".pyc" files when they
are created eagerly. (Contributed by Bernhard M. Wiedemann in
bpo-29708.)


pydoc
-----

The pydoc server can now bind to an arbitrary hostname specified by
the new "-n" command-line argument. (Contributed by Feanil Patel in
bpo-31128.)


queue
-----

The new "SimpleQueue" class is an unbounded FIFO queue. (Contributed
by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-14976.)


re
--

The flags "re.ASCII", "re.LOCALE" and "re.UNICODE" can be set within
the scope of a group. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-31690.)

"re.split()" now supports splitting on a pattern like "r'\b'", "'^$'"
or "(?=-)" that matches an empty string. (Contributed by Serhiy
Storchaka in bpo-25054.)

Regular expressions compiled with the "re.LOCALE" flag no longer
depend on the locale at compile time.  Locale settings are applied
only when the compiled regular expression is used. (Contributed by
Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-30215.)

"FutureWarning" is now emitted if a regular expression contains
character set constructs that will change semantically in the future,
such as nested sets and set operations. (Contributed by Serhiy
Storchaka in bpo-30349.)

Compiled regular expression and match objects can now be copied using
"copy.copy()" and "copy.deepcopy()". (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka
in bpo-10076.)


signal
------

The new *warn_on_full_buffer* argument to the "signal.set_wakeup_fd()"
function makes it possible to specify whether Python prints a warning
on stderr when the wakeup buffer overflows. (Contributed by Nathaniel
J. Smith in bpo-30050.)


socket
------

The new "socket.getblocking()" method returns "True" if the socket is
in blocking mode and "False" otherwise. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov
in bpo-32373.)

The new "socket.close()" function closes the passed socket file
descriptor. This function should be used instead of "os.close()" for
better compatibility across platforms. (Contributed by Christian
Heimes in bpo-32454.)

The "socket" module now exposes the socket.TCP_CONGESTION (Linux
2.6.13), socket.TCP_USER_TIMEOUT (Linux 2.6.37), and
socket.TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT (Linux 3.12) constants. (Contributed by Omar
Sandoval in bpo-26273 and Nathaniel J. Smith in bpo-29728.)

Support for "socket.AF_VSOCK" sockets has been added to allow
communication between virtual machines and their hosts. (Contributed
by Cathy Avery in bpo-27584.)

Sockets now auto-detect family, type and protocol from file descriptor
by default. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-28134.)


socketserver
------------

"socketserver.ThreadingMixIn.server_close" now waits until all non-
daemon threads complete. "socketserver.ForkingMixIn.server_close" now
waits until all child processes complete.

Add a new "socketserver.ForkingMixIn.block_on_close" class attribute
to "socketserver.ForkingMixIn" and "socketserver.ThreadingMixIn"
classes. Set the class attribute to "False" to get the pre-3.7
behaviour.


sqlite3
-------

"sqlite3.Connection" now exposes the "backup()" method when the
underlying SQLite library is at version 3.6.11 or higher. (Contributed
by Lele Gaifax in bpo-27645.)

The *database* argument of "sqlite3.connect()" now accepts any *path-
like object*, instead of just a string. (Contributed by Anders
Lorentsen in bpo-31843.)


ssl
---

The "ssl" module now uses OpenSSL's builtin API instead of
"match_hostname()" to check a host name or an IP address.  Values are
validated during TLS handshake.  Any certificate validation error
including failing the host name check now raises
"SSLCertVerificationError" and aborts the handshake with a proper TLS
Alert message.  The new exception contains additional information.
Host name validation can be customized with
"SSLContext.hostname_checks_common_name". (Contributed by Christian
Heimes in bpo-31399.)

Nota:

  The improved host name check requires a *libssl* implementation
  compatible with OpenSSL 1.0.2 or 1.1.  Consequently, OpenSSL 0.9.8
  and 1.0.1 are no longer supported (see Platform Support Removals for
  more details). The ssl module is mostly compatible with LibreSSL
  2.7.2 and newer.

The "ssl" module no longer sends IP addresses in SNI TLS extension.
(Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-32185.)

"match_hostname()" no longer supports partial wildcards like
"www*.example.org". (Contributed by Mandeep Singh in bpo-23033 and
Christian Heimes in bpo-31399.)

The default cipher suite selection of the "ssl" module now uses a
blacklist approach rather than a hard-coded whitelist.  Python no
longer re-enables ciphers that have been blocked by OpenSSL security
updates.  Default cipher suite selection can be configured at compile
time. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-31429.)

Validation of server certificates containing internationalized domain
names (IDNs) is now supported.  As part of this change, the
"SSLSocket.server_hostname" attribute now stores the expected hostname
in A-label form (""xn--pythn-mua.org""), rather than the U-label form
(""pythön.org"").  (Contributed by Nathaniel J. Smith and Christian
Heimes in bpo-28414.)

The "ssl" module has preliminary and experimental support for TLS 1.3
and OpenSSL 1.1.1.  At the time of Python 3.7.0 release, OpenSSL 1.1.1
is still under development and TLS 1.3 hasn't been finalized yet.  The
TLS 1.3 handshake and protocol behaves slightly differently than TLS
1.2 and earlier, see TLS 1.3. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in
bpo-32947, bpo-20995, bpo-29136, bpo-30622 and bpo-33618)

"SSLSocket" and "SSLObject" no longer have a public constructor.
Direct instantiation was never a documented and supported feature.
Instances must be created with "SSLContext" methods "wrap_socket()"
and "wrap_bio()". (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-32951)

OpenSSL 1.1 APIs for setting the minimum and maximum TLS protocol
version are available as "SSLContext.minimum_version" and
"SSLContext.maximum_version". Supported protocols are indicated by
several new flags, such as "HAS_TLSv1_1". (Contributed by Christian
Heimes in bpo-32609.)

Added "ssl.SSLContext.post_handshake_auth" to enable and
"ssl.SSLSocket.verify_client_post_handshake()" to initiate TLS 1.3
post-handshake authentication. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in
gh-78851.)


string
------

"string.Template" now lets you to optionally modify the regular
expression pattern for braced placeholders and non-braced placeholders
separately.  (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in bpo-1198569.)


subprocess
----------

The "subprocess.run()" function accepts the new *capture_output*
keyword argument.  When true, stdout and stderr will be captured. This
is equivalent to passing "subprocess.PIPE" as *stdout* and *stderr*
arguments. (Contributed by Bo Bayles in bpo-32102.)

The "subprocess.run" function and the "subprocess.Popen" constructor
now accept the *text* keyword argument as an alias to
*universal_newlines*. (Contributed by Andrew Clegg in bpo-31756.)

On Windows the default for *close_fds* was changed from "False" to
"True" when redirecting the standard handles.  It's now possible to
set *close_fds* to true when redirecting the standard handles.  See
"subprocess.Popen".  This means that *close_fds* now defaults to
"True" on all supported platforms. (Contributed by Segev Finer in
bpo-19764.)

The subprocess module is now more graceful when handling
"KeyboardInterrupt" during "subprocess.call()", "subprocess.run()", or
in a "Popen" context manager.  It now waits a short amount of time for
the child to exit, before continuing the handling of the
"KeyboardInterrupt" exception. (Contributed by Gregory P. Smith in
bpo-25942.)


sys
---

The new "sys.breakpointhook()" hook function is called by the built-in
"breakpoint()". (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in bpo-31353.)

On Android, the new "sys.getandroidapilevel()" returns the build-time
Android API version. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-28740.)

The new "sys.get_coroutine_origin_tracking_depth()" function returns
the current coroutine origin tracking depth, as set by the new
"sys.set_coroutine_origin_tracking_depth()".  "asyncio" has been
converted to use this new API instead of the deprecated
"sys.set_coroutine_wrapper()". (Contributed by Nathaniel J. Smith in
bpo-32591.)


time
----

**PEP 564** adds six new functions with nanosecond resolution to the
"time" module:

* "time.clock_gettime_ns()"

* "time.clock_settime_ns()"

* "time.monotonic_ns()"

* "time.perf_counter_ns()"

* "time.process_time_ns()"

* "time.time_ns()"

New clock identifiers have been added:

* "time.CLOCK_BOOTTIME" (Linux): Identical to "time.CLOCK_MONOTONIC",
  except it also includes any time that the system is suspended.

* "time.CLOCK_PROF" (FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD): High-resolution
  per-process CPU timer.

* "time.CLOCK_UPTIME" (FreeBSD, OpenBSD): Time whose absolute value is
  the time the system has been running and not suspended, providing
  accurate uptime measurement.

The new "time.thread_time()" and "time.thread_time_ns()" functions can
be used to get per-thread CPU time measurements. (Contributed by
Antoine Pitrou in bpo-32025.)

The new "time.pthread_getcpuclockid()" function returns the clock ID
of the thread-specific CPU-time clock.


tkinter
-------

The new "tkinter.ttk.Spinbox" class is now available. (Contributed by
Alan Moore in bpo-32585.)


tracemalloc
-----------

"tracemalloc.Traceback" behaves more like regular tracebacks, sorting
the frames from oldest to most recent. "Traceback.format()" now
accepts negative *limit*, truncating the result to the "abs(limit)"
oldest frames.  To get the old behaviour, use the new
*most_recent_first* argument to "Traceback.format()". (Contributed by
Jesse Bakker in bpo-32121.)


types
-----

The new "WrapperDescriptorType", "MethodWrapperType",
"MethodDescriptorType", and "ClassMethodDescriptorType" classes are
now available. (Contributed by Manuel Krebber and Guido van Rossum in
bpo-29377, and Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-32265.)

The new "types.resolve_bases()" function resolves MRO entries
dynamically as specified by **PEP 560**. (Contributed by Ivan
Levkivskyi in bpo-32717.)


unicodedata
-----------

The internal "unicodedata" database has been upgraded to use Unicode
11. (Contributed by Benjamin Peterson.)


unittest
--------

The new "-k" command-line option allows filtering tests by a name
substring or a Unix shell-like pattern. For example, "python -m
unittest -k foo" runs "foo_tests.SomeTest.test_something",
"bar_tests.SomeTest.test_foo", but not
"bar_tests.FooTest.test_something". (Contributed by Jonas Haag in
bpo-32071.)


unittest.mock
-------------

The "sentinel" attributes now preserve their identity when they are
"copied" or "pickled". (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-20804.)

The new "seal()" function allows sealing "Mock" instances, which will
disallow further creation of attribute mocks.  The seal is applied
recursively to all attributes that are themselves mocks. (Contributed
by Mario Corchero in bpo-30541.)


urllib.parse
------------

"urllib.parse.quote()" has been updated from **RFC 2396** to **RFC
3986**, adding "~" to the set of characters that are never quoted by
default. (Contributed by Christian Theune and Ratnadeep Debnath in
bpo-16285.)


uu
--

The "uu.encode()" function now accepts an optional *backtick* keyword
argument.  When it's true, zeros are represented by "'`'" instead of
spaces.  (Contributed by Xiang Zhang in bpo-30103.)


uuid
----

The new "UUID.is_safe" attribute relays information from the platform
about whether generated UUIDs are generated with a multiprocessing-
safe method. (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in bpo-22807.)

"uuid.getnode()" now prefers universally administered MAC addresses
over locally administered MAC addresses. This makes a better guarantee
for global uniqueness of UUIDs returned from "uuid.uuid1()".  If only
locally administered MAC addresses are available, the first such one
found is returned. (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in bpo-32107.)


avisos
------

The initialization of the default warnings filters has changed as
follows:

* warnings enabled via command line options (including those for "-b"
  and the new CPython-specific "-X" "dev" option) are always passed to
  the warnings machinery via the "sys.warnoptions" attribute.

* warnings filters enabled via the command line or the environment now
  have the following order of precedence:

  * the "BytesWarning" filter for "-b" (or "-bb")

  * any filters specified with the "-W" option

  * any filters specified with the "PYTHONWARNINGS" environment
    variable

  * any other CPython specific filters (e.g. the "default" filter
    added for the new "-X dev" mode)

  * any implicit filters defined directly by the warnings machinery

* in CPython debug builds, all warnings are now displayed by default
  (the implicit filter list is empty)

(Contributed by Nick Coghlan and Victor Stinner in bpo-20361,
bpo-32043, and bpo-32230.)

Deprecation warnings are once again shown by default in single-file
scripts and at the interactive prompt.  See PEP 565: Mostra
DeprecationWarning em __main__ for details. (Contributed by Nick
Coghlan in bpo-31975.)


xml
---

As mitigation against DTD and external entity retrieval, the
"xml.dom.minidom" and "xml.sax" modules no longer process external
entities by default. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in gh-61441.)


xml.etree
---------

ElementPath predicates in the "find()" methods can now compare text of
the current node with "[. = "text"]", not only text in children.
Predicates also allow adding spaces for better readability.
(Contributed by Stefan Behnel in bpo-31648.)


xmlrpc.server
-------------

"SimpleXMLRPCDispatcher.register_function()" can now be used as a
decorator.  (Contributed by Xiang Zhang in bpo-7769.)


zipapp
------

Function "create_archive()" now accepts an optional *filter* argument
to allow the user to select which files should be included in the
archive.  (Contributed by Irmen de Jong in bpo-31072.)

Function "create_archive()" now accepts an optional *compressed*
argument to generate a compressed archive.  A command line option "--
compress" has also been added to support compression. (Contributed by
Zhiming Wang in bpo-31638.)


zipfile
-------

"ZipFile" now accepts the new *compresslevel* parameter to control the
compression level. (Contributed by Bo Bayles in bpo-21417.)

Subdirectories in archives created by "ZipFile" are now stored in
alphabetical order. (Contributed by Bernhard M. Wiedemann in
bpo-30693.)


Alterações na API C

A new API for thread-local storage has been implemented.  See PEP 539:
Nova API C para armazenamento local de thread for an overview and
Thread Specific Storage (TSS) API for a complete reference.
(Contributed by Masayuki Yamamoto in bpo-25658.)

The new context variables functionality exposes a number of new C
APIs.

The new "PyImport_GetModule()" function returns the previously
imported module with the given name. (Contributed by Eric Snow in
bpo-28411.)

The new "Py_RETURN_RICHCOMPARE" macro eases writing rich comparison
functions. (Contributed by Petr Victorin in bpo-23699.)

The new "Py_UNREACHABLE" macro can be used to mark unreachable code
paths. (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in bpo-31338.)

The "tracemalloc" now exposes a C API through the new
"PyTraceMalloc_Track()" and "PyTraceMalloc_Untrack()" functions.
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-30054.)

The new import__find__load__start and import__find__load__done static

Heimes in bpo-31574.)

The fields "name" and "doc" of structures "PyMemberDef",
"PyGetSetDef", "PyStructSequence_Field", "PyStructSequence_Desc", and
"wrapperbase" are now of type "const char *" rather of "char *".
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-28761.)

The result of "PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize()" and "PyUnicode_AsUTF8()" is
now of type "const char *" rather of "char *". (Contributed by Serhiy
Storchaka in bpo-28769.)

The result of "PyMapping_Keys()", "PyMapping_Values()" and
"PyMapping_Items()" is now always a list, rather than a list or a
tuple. (Contributed by Oren Milman in bpo-28280.)

Added functions "PySlice_Unpack()" and "PySlice_AdjustIndices()".
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-27867.)

"PyOS_AfterFork()" is deprecated in favour of the new functions
"PyOS_BeforeFork()", "PyOS_AfterFork_Parent()" and
"PyOS_AfterFork_Child()".  (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in
bpo-16500.)

The "PyExc_RecursionErrorInst" singleton that was part of the public
API has been removed as its members being never cleared may cause a
segfault during finalization of the interpreter. Contributed by Xavier
de Gaye in bpo-22898 and bpo-30697.

Added C API support for timezones with timezone constructors
"PyTimeZone_FromOffset()" and "PyTimeZone_FromOffsetAndName()", and
access to the UTC singleton with "PyDateTime_TimeZone_UTC".
Contributed by Paul Ganssle in bpo-10381.

The type of results of "PyThread_start_new_thread()" and
"PyThread_get_thread_ident()", and the *id* parameter of
"PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc()" changed from long to unsigned long.
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-6532.)

"PyUnicode_AsWideCharString()" now raises a "ValueError" if the second
argument is "NULL" and the wchar_t* string contains null characters.
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-30708.)

Changes to the startup sequence and the management of dynamic memory
allocators mean that the long documented requirement to call
"Py_Initialize()" before calling most C API functions is now relied on
more heavily, and failing to abide by it may lead to segfaults in
embedding applications. See the Porting to Python 3.7 section in this
document and the Antes da inicialização do Python section in the C API
documentation for more details.

The new "PyInterpreterState_GetID()" returns the unique ID for a given
interpreter. (Contributed by Eric Snow in bpo-29102.)

"Py_DecodeLocale()", "Py_EncodeLocale()" now use the UTF-8 encoding
when the UTF-8 mode is enabled. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in
bpo-29240.)

"PyUnicode_DecodeLocaleAndSize()" and "PyUnicode_EncodeLocale()" now
use the current locale encoding for "surrogateescape" error handler.
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-29240.)

The *start* and *end* parameters of "PyUnicode_FindChar()" are now
adjusted to behave like string slices. (Contributed by Xiang Zhang in
bpo-28822.)


Mudanças na construção
======================

Support for building "--without-threads" has been removed.  The
"threading" module is now always available. (Contributed by Antoine
Pitrou in bpo-31370.).

A full copy of libffi is no longer bundled for use when building the
"_ctypes" module on non-OSX UNIX platforms.  An installed copy of
libffi is now required when building "_ctypes" on such platforms.
(Contributed by Zachary Ware in bpo-27979.)

The Windows build process no longer depends on Subversion to pull in
external sources, a Python script is used to download zipfiles from
GitHub instead. If Python 3.6 is not found on the system (via "py
-3.6"), NuGet is used to download a copy of 32-bit Python for this
purpose.  (Contributed by Zachary Ware in bpo-30450.)

The "ssl" module requires OpenSSL 1.0.2 or 1.1 compatible libssl.
OpenSSL 1.0.1 has reached end of lifetime on 2016-12-31 and is no
longer supported. LibreSSL is temporarily not supported as well.
LibreSSL releases up to version 2.6.4 are missing required OpenSSL
1.0.2 APIs.


Otimizações
===========

The overhead of calling many methods of various standard library
classes implemented in C has been significantly reduced by porting
more code to use the "METH_FASTCALL" convention. (Contributed by
Victor Stinner in bpo-29300, bpo-29507, bpo-29452, and bpo-29286.)

Various optimizations have reduced Python startup time by 10% on Linux
and up to 30% on macOS. (Contributed by Victor Stinner, INADA Naoki in
bpo-29585, and Ivan Levkivskyi in bpo-31333.)

Method calls are now up to 20% faster due to the bytecode changes
which avoid creating bound method instances. (Contributed by Yury
Selivanov and INADA Naoki in bpo-26110.)

The "asyncio" module received a number of notable optimizations for
commonly used functions:

* The "asyncio.get_event_loop()" function has been reimplemented in C
  to make it up to 15 times faster. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in
  bpo-32296.)

* "asyncio.Future" callback management has been optimized.
  (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-32348.)

* "asyncio.gather()" is now up to 15% faster. (Contributed by Yury
  Selivanov in bpo-32355.)

* "asyncio.sleep()" is now up to 2 times faster when the *delay*
  argument is zero or negative. (Contributed by Andrew Svetlov in
  bpo-32351.)

* The performance overhead of asyncio debug mode has been reduced.
  (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-31970.)

As a result of PEP 560 work, the import time of "typing" has been
reduced by a factor of 7, and many typing operations are now faster.
(Contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi in bpo-32226.)

"sorted()" and "list.sort()" have been optimized for common cases to
be up to 40-75% faster. (Contributed by Elliot Gorokhovsky in
bpo-28685.)

"dict.copy()" is now up to 5.5 times faster. (Contributed by Yury
Selivanov in bpo-31179.)

"hasattr()" and "getattr()" are now about 4 times faster when *name*
is not found and *obj* does not override "object.__getattr__()" or
"object.__getattribute__()". (Contributed by INADA Naoki in
bpo-32544.)

Searching for certain Unicode characters (like Ukrainian capital "Є")
in a string was up to 25 times slower than searching for other
characters. It is now only 3 times slower in the worst case.
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-24821.)

The "collections.namedtuple()" factory has been reimplemented to make
the creation of named tuples 4 to 6 times faster. (Contributed by
Jelle Zijlstra with further improvements by INADA Naoki, Serhiy
Storchaka, and Raymond Hettinger in bpo-28638.)

"datetime.date.fromordinal()" and "datetime.date.fromtimestamp()" are
now up to 30% faster in the common case. (Contributed by Paul Ganssle
in bpo-32403.)

The "os.fwalk()" function is now up to 2 times faster thanks to the
use of "os.scandir()". (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-25996.)

The speed of the "shutil.rmtree()" function has been improved by 20--
40% thanks to the use of the "os.scandir()" function. (Contributed by
Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-28564.)

Optimized case-insensitive matching and searching of "regular
expressions".  Searching some patterns can now be up to 20 times
faster. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-30285.)

"re.compile()" now converts "flags" parameter to int object if it is
"RegexFlag".  It is now as fast as Python 3.5, and faster than Python
3.6 by about 10% depending on the pattern. (Contributed by INADA Naoki
in bpo-31671.)

The "modify()" methods of classes "selectors.EpollSelector",
"selectors.PollSelector" and "selectors.DevpollSelector" may be around
10% faster under heavy loads.  (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodola' in
bpo-30014)

Constant folding has been moved from the peephole optimizer to the new
AST optimizer, which is able perform optimizations more consistently.
(Contributed by Eugene Toder and INADA Naoki in bpo-29469 and
bpo-11549.)

Most functions and methods in "abc" have been rewritten in C. This
makes creation of abstract base classes, and calling "isinstance()"
and "issubclass()" on them 1.5x faster.  This also reduces Python
start-up time by up to 10%. (Contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi and INADA
Naoki in bpo-31333)

Significant speed improvements to alternate constructors for
"datetime.date" and "datetime.datetime" by using fast-path
constructors when not constructing subclasses. (Contributed by Paul
Ganssle in bpo-32403)

The speed of comparison of "array.array" instances has been improved
considerably in certain cases.  It is now from 10x to 70x faster when
comparing arrays holding values of the same integer type. (Contributed
by Adrian Wielgosik in bpo-24700.)

The "math.erf()" and "math.erfc()" functions now use the (faster) C
library implementation on most platforms. (Contributed by Serhiy
Storchaka in bpo-26121.)


Outras mudanças na implementação do CPython
===========================================

* Trace hooks may now opt out of receiving the "line" and opt into
  receiving the "opcode" events from the interpreter by setting the
  corresponding new "f_trace_lines" and "f_trace_opcodes" attributes
  on the frame being traced. (Contributed by Nick Coghlan in
  bpo-31344.)

* Fixed some consistency problems with namespace package module
  attributes. Namespace module objects now have an "__file__" that is
  set to "None" (previously unset), and their "__spec__.origin" is
  also set to "None" (previously the string ""namespace"").  See
  bpo-32305.  Also, the namespace module object's "__spec__.loader" is
  set to the same value as "__loader__" (previously, the former was
  set to "None").  See bpo-32303.

* The "locals()" dictionary now displays in the lexical order that
  variables were defined.  Previously, the order was undefined.
  (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-32690.)

* The "distutils" "upload" command no longer tries to change CR end-
  of-line characters to CRLF.  This fixes a corruption issue with
  sdists that ended with a byte equivalent to CR. (Contributed by Bo
  Bayles in bpo-32304.)


Comportamento do Python descontinuado
=====================================

Yield expressions (both "yield" and "yield from" clauses) are now
deprecated in comprehensions and generator expressions (aside from the
iterable expression in the leftmost "for" clause). This ensures that
comprehensions always immediately return a container of the
appropriate type (rather than potentially returning a *generator
iterator* object), while generator expressions won't attempt to
interleave their implicit output with the output from any explicit
yield expressions.  In Python 3.7, such expressions emit
"DeprecationWarning" when compiled, in Python 3.8 this will be a
"SyntaxError". (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-10544.)

Returning a subclass of "complex" from "object.__complex__()" is
deprecated and will be an error in future Python versions.  This makes
"__complex__()" consistent with "object.__int__()" and
"object.__float__()". (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-28894.)


Deprecated Python modules, functions and methods
================================================


aifc
----

"aifc.openfp()" has been deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.9.
Use "aifc.open()" instead. (Contributed by Brian Curtin in bpo-31985.)


asyncio
-------

Support for directly "await"-ing instances of "asyncio.Lock" and other
asyncio synchronization primitives has been deprecated.  An
asynchronous context manager must be used in order to acquire and
release the synchronization resource. (Contributed by Andrew Svetlov
in bpo-32253.)

The "asyncio.Task.current_task()" and "asyncio.Task.all_tasks()"
methods have been deprecated. (Contributed by Andrew Svetlov in
bpo-32250.)


collections
-----------

In Python 3.8, the abstract base classes in "collections.abc" will no
longer be exposed in the regular "collections" module.  This will help
create a clearer distinction between the concrete classes and the
abstract base classes. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-25988.)


dbm
---

"dbm.dumb" now supports reading read-only files and no longer writes
the index file when it is not changed.  A deprecation warning is now
emitted if the index file is missing and recreated in the "'r'" and
"'w'" modes (this will be an error in future Python releases).
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-28847.)


enum
----

In Python 3.8, attempting to check for non-Enum objects in "Enum"
classes will raise a "TypeError" (e.g. "1 in Color"); similarly,
attempting to check for non-Flag objects in a "Flag" member will raise
"TypeError" (e.g. "1 in Perm.RW"); currently, both operations return
"False" instead. (Contributed by Ethan Furman in bpo-33217.)


gettext
-------

Using non-integer value for selecting a plural form in "gettext" is
now deprecated.  It never correctly worked. (Contributed by Serhiy
Storchaka in bpo-28692.)


importlib
---------

Methods "MetaPathFinder.find_module()" (replaced by
"MetaPathFinder.find_spec()") and "PathEntryFinder.find_loader()"
(replaced by "PathEntryFinder.find_spec()") both deprecated in Python
3.4 now emit "DeprecationWarning". (Contributed by Matthias Bussonnier
in bpo-29576.)

The "importlib.abc.ResourceLoader" ABC has been deprecated in favour
of "importlib.abc.ResourceReader".


locale
------

"locale.format()" has been deprecated, use "locale.format_string()"
instead.  (Contributed by Garvit in bpo-10379.)


macpath
-------

The "macpath" is now deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.8.
(Contributed by Chi Hsuan Yen in bpo-9850.)


threading
---------

"dummy_threading" and "_dummy_thread" have been deprecated.  It is no
longer possible to build Python with threading disabled. Use
"threading" instead. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-31370.)


socket
------

The silent argument value truncation in "socket.htons()" and
"socket.ntohs()" has been deprecated.  In future versions of Python,
if the passed argument is larger than 16 bits, an exception will be
raised. (Contributed by Oren Milman in bpo-28332.)


ssl
---

"ssl.wrap_socket()" is deprecated.  Use "ssl.SSLContext.wrap_socket()"
instead. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in bpo-28124.)


sunau
-----

"sunau.openfp()" has been deprecated and will be removed in Python
3.9. Use "sunau.open()" instead. (Contributed by Brian Curtin in
bpo-31985.)


sys
---

Deprecated "sys.set_coroutine_wrapper()" and
"sys.get_coroutine_wrapper()".

The undocumented "sys.callstats()" function has been deprecated and
will be removed in a future Python version. (Contributed by Victor
Stinner in bpo-28799.)


wave
----

"wave.openfp()" has been deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.9.
Use "wave.open()" instead. (Contributed by Brian Curtin in bpo-31985.)


Deprecated functions and types of the C API
===========================================

Function "PySlice_GetIndicesEx()" is deprecated and replaced with a
macro if "Py_LIMITED_API" is not set or set to a value in the range
between "0x03050400" and "0x03060000" (not inclusive), or is
"0x03060100" or higher.  (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in
bpo-27867.)

"PyOS_AfterFork()" has been deprecated.  Use "PyOS_BeforeFork()",
"PyOS_AfterFork_Parent()" or "PyOS_AfterFork_Child()" instead.
(Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-16500.)


Platform Support Removals
=========================

* FreeBSD 9 and older are no longer officially supported.

* For full Unicode support, including within extension modules, *nix
  platforms are now expected to provide at least one of "C.UTF-8"
  (full locale), "C.utf8" (full locale) or "UTF-8" ("LC_CTYPE"-only
  locale) as an alternative to the legacy "ASCII"-based "C" locale.

* OpenSSL 0.9.8 and 1.0.1 are no longer supported, which means
  building CPython 3.7 with SSL/TLS support on older platforms still
  using these versions requires custom build options that link to a
  more recent version of OpenSSL.

  Notably, this issue affects the Debian 8 (aka "jessie") and Ubuntu
  14.04 (aka "Trusty") LTS Linux distributions, as they still use
  OpenSSL 1.0.1 by default.

  Debian 9 ("stretch") and Ubuntu 16.04 ("xenial"), as well as recent
  releases of other LTS Linux releases (e.g. RHEL/CentOS 7.5, SLES
  12-SP3), use OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later, and remain supported in the
  default build configuration.

  CPython's own CI configuration file provides an example of using the
  SSL compatibility testing infrastructure in CPython's test suite to
  build and link against OpenSSL 1.1.0 rather than an outdated system
  provided OpenSSL.


Remoção de APIs e recursos
==========================

The following features and APIs have been removed from Python 3.7:

* The "os.stat_float_times()" function has been removed. It was
  introduced in Python 2.3 for backward compatibility with Python 2.2,
  and was deprecated since Python 3.1.

* Unknown escapes consisting of "'\'" and an ASCII letter in
  replacement templates for "re.sub()" were deprecated in Python 3.5,
  and will now cause an error.

* Removed support of the *exclude* argument in
  "tarfile.TarFile.add()". It was deprecated in Python 2.7 and 3.2.
  Use the *filter* argument instead.

* The "ntpath.splitunc()" function was deprecated in Python 3.1, and
  has now been removed.  Use "splitdrive()" instead.

* "collections.namedtuple()" no longer supports the *verbose*
  parameter or "_source" attribute which showed the generated source
  code for the named tuple class.  This was part of an optimization
  designed to speed-up class creation.  (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra
  with further improvements by INADA Naoki, Serhiy Storchaka, and
  Raymond Hettinger in bpo-28638.)

* Functions "bool()", "float()", "list()" and "tuple()" no longer take
  keyword arguments.  The first argument of "int()" can now be passed
  only as positional argument.

* Removed previously deprecated in Python 2.4 classes "Plist", "Dict"
  and "_InternalDict" in the "plistlib" module.  Dict values in the
  result of functions "readPlist()" and "readPlistFromBytes()" are now
  normal dicts.  You no longer can use attribute access to access
  items of these dictionaries.

* The "asyncio.windows_utils.socketpair()" function has been removed.
  Use the "socket.socketpair()" function instead, it is available on
  all platforms since Python 3.5. "asyncio.windows_utils.socketpair"
  was just an alias to "socket.socketpair" on Python 3.5 and newer.

* "asyncio" no longer exports the "selectors" and "_overlapped"
  modules as "asyncio.selectors" and "asyncio._overlapped". Replace
  "from asyncio import selectors" with "import selectors".

* Direct instantiation of "ssl.SSLSocket" and "ssl.SSLObject" objects
  is now prohibited. The constructors were never documented, tested,
  or designed as public constructors.  Users were supposed to use
  "ssl.wrap_socket()" or "ssl.SSLContext". (Contributed by Christian
  Heimes in bpo-32951.)

* The unused "distutils" "install_misc" command has been removed.
  (Contributed by Eric N. Vander Weele in bpo-29218.)


Module Removals
===============

The "fpectl" module has been removed.  It was never enabled by
default, never worked correctly on x86-64, and it changed the Python
ABI in ways that caused unexpected breakage of C extensions.
(Contributed by Nathaniel J. Smith in bpo-29137.)


Windows-only Changes
====================

The python launcher, (py.exe), can accept 32 & 64 bit specifiers
**without** having to specify a minor version as well. So "py -3-32"
and "py -3-64" become valid as well as "py -3.7-32", also the -*m*-64
and -*m.n*-64 forms are now accepted to force 64 bit python even if 32
bit would have otherwise been used. If the specified version is not
available py.exe will error exit. (Contributed by Steve Barnes in
bpo-30291.)

The launcher can be run as "py -0" to produce a list of the installed
pythons, *with default marked with an asterisk*. Running "py -0p" will
include the paths. If py is run with a version specifier that cannot
be matched it will also print the *short form* list of available
specifiers. (Contributed by Steve Barnes in bpo-30362.)


Porting to Python 3.7
=====================

Esta seção lista as alterações descritas anteriormente e outras
correções que podem exigir alterações no seu código.


Changes in Python Behavior
--------------------------

* "async" and "await" names are now reserved keywords. Code using
  these names as identifiers will now raise a "SyntaxError".
  (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in bpo-30406.)

* **PEP 479** is enabled for all code in Python 3.7, meaning that
  "StopIteration" exceptions raised directly or indirectly in
  coroutines and generators are transformed into "RuntimeError"
  exceptions. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-32670.)

* "object.__aiter__()" methods can no longer be declared as
  asynchronous.  (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-31709.)

* Due to an oversight, earlier Python versions erroneously accepted
  the following syntax:

     f(1 for x in [1],)

     class C(1 for x in [1]):
         pass

  Python 3.7 now correctly raises a "SyntaxError", as a generator
  expression always needs to be directly inside a set of parentheses
  and cannot have a comma on either side, and the duplication of the
  parentheses can be omitted only on calls. (Contributed by Serhiy
  Storchaka in bpo-32012 and bpo-32023.)

* When using the "-m" switch, the initial working directory is now
  added to "sys.path", rather than an empty string (which dynamically
  denoted the current working directory at the time of each import).
  Any programs that are checking for the empty string, or otherwise
  relying on the previous behaviour, will need to be updated
  accordingly (e.g. by also checking for "os.getcwd()" or
  "os.path.dirname(__main__.__file__)", depending on why the code was
  checking for the empty string in the first place).


Alterações na API Python
------------------------

* "socketserver.ThreadingMixIn.server_close" now waits until all non-
  daemon threads complete.  Set the new
  "socketserver.ThreadingMixIn.block_on_close" class attribute to
  "False" to get the pre-3.7 behaviour. (Contributed by Victor Stinner
  in bpo-31233 and bpo-33540.)

* "socketserver.ForkingMixIn.server_close" now waits until all child
  processes complete. Set the new
  "socketserver.ForkingMixIn.block_on_close" class attribute to
  "False" to get the pre-3.7 behaviour. (Contributed by Victor Stinner
  in bpo-31151 and bpo-33540.)

* The "locale.localeconv()" function now temporarily sets the
  "LC_CTYPE" locale to the value of "LC_NUMERIC" in some cases.
  (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-31900.)

* "pkgutil.walk_packages()" now raises a "ValueError" if *path* is a
  string.  Previously an empty list was returned. (Contributed by
  Sanyam Khurana in bpo-24744.)

* A format string argument for "string.Formatter.format()" is now
  positional-only. Passing it as a keyword argument was deprecated in
  Python 3.5. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-29193.)

* Attributes "key", "value" and "coded_value" of class
  "http.cookies.Morsel" are now read-only. Assigning to them was
  deprecated in Python 3.5. Use the "set()" method for setting them.
  (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-29192.)

* The *mode* argument of "os.makedirs()" no longer affects the file
  permission bits of newly created intermediate-level directories. To
  set their file permission bits you can set the umask before invoking
  "makedirs()". (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-19930.)

* The "struct.Struct.format" type is now "str" instead of "bytes".
  (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-21071.)

* "cgi.parse_multipart()" now accepts the *encoding* and *errors*
  arguments and returns the same results as "FieldStorage": for non-
  file fields, the value associated to a key is a list of strings, not
  bytes. (Contributed by Pierre Quentel in bpo-29979.)

* Due to internal changes in "socket", calling "socket.fromshare()" on
  a socket created by "socket.share" in older Python versions is not
  supported.

* "repr" for "BaseException" has changed to not include the trailing
  comma.  Most exceptions are affected by this change. (Contributed by
  Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-30399.)

* "repr" for "datetime.timedelta" has changed to include the keyword
  arguments in the output. (Contributed by Utkarsh Upadhyay in
  bpo-30302.)

* Because "shutil.rmtree()" is now implemented using the
  "os.scandir()" function, the user specified handler *onerror* is now
  called with the first argument "os.scandir" instead of "os.listdir"
  when listing the directory is failed.

* Support for nested sets and set operations in regular expressions as
  in Unicode Technical Standard #18 might be added in the future.
  This would change the syntax.  To facilitate this future change a
  "FutureWarning" will be raised in ambiguous cases for the time
  being. That include sets starting with a literal "'['" or containing
  literal character sequences "'--'", "'&&'", "'~~'", and "'||'".  To
  avoid a warning, escape them with a backslash. (Contributed by
  Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-30349.)

* The result of splitting a string on a "regular expression" that
  could match an empty string has been changed.  For example splitting
  on "r'\s*'" will now split not only on whitespaces as it did
  previously, but also on empty strings before all non-whitespace
  characters and just before the end of the string. The previous
  behavior can be restored by changing the pattern to "r'\s+'".  A
  "FutureWarning" was emitted for such patterns since Python 3.5.

  For patterns that match both empty and non-empty strings, the result
  of searching for all matches may also be changed in other cases.
  For example in the string "'a\n\n'", the pattern "r'(?m)^\s*?$'"
  will not only match empty strings at positions 2 and 3, but also the
  string "'\n'" at positions 2--3.  To match only blank lines, the
  pattern should be rewritten as "r'(?m)^[^\S\n]*$'".

  "re.sub()" now replaces empty matches adjacent to a previous non-
  empty match.  For example "re.sub('x*', '-', 'abxd')" returns now
  "'-a-b--d-'" instead of "'-a-b-d-'" (the first minus between 'b' and
  'd' replaces 'x', and the second minus replaces an empty string
  between 'x' and 'd').

  (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-25054 and bpo-32308.)

* Change "re.escape()" to only escape regex special characters instead
  of escaping all characters other than ASCII letters, numbers, and
  "'_'". (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-29995.)

* "tracemalloc.Traceback" frames are now sorted from oldest to most
  recent to be more consistent with "traceback". (Contributed by Jesse
  Bakker in bpo-32121.)

* On OSes that support "socket.SOCK_NONBLOCK" or "socket.SOCK_CLOEXEC"
  bit flags, the "socket.type" no longer has them applied. Therefore,
  checks like "if sock.type == socket.SOCK_STREAM" work as expected on
  all platforms. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-32331.)

* On Windows the default for the *close_fds* argument of
  "subprocess.Popen" was changed from "False" to "True" when
  redirecting the standard handles. If you previously depended on
  handles being inherited when using "subprocess.Popen" with standard
  io redirection, you will have to pass "close_fds=False" to preserve
  the previous behaviour, or use "STARTUPINFO.lpAttributeList".

* "importlib.machinery.PathFinder.invalidate_caches()" -- which
  implicitly affects "importlib.invalidate_caches()" -- now deletes
  entries in "sys.path_importer_cache" which are set to "None".

* In "asyncio", "loop.sock_recv()", "loop.sock_sendall()",
  "loop.sock_accept()", "loop.getaddrinfo()", "loop.getnameinfo()"
  have been changed to be proper coroutine methods to match their
  documentation.  Previously, these methods returned "asyncio.Future"
  instances. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-32327.)

* "asyncio.Server.sockets" now returns a copy of the internal list of
  server sockets, instead of returning it directly. (Contributed by
  Yury Selivanov in bpo-32662.)

* "Struct.format" is now a "str" instance instead of a "bytes"
  instance. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-21071.)

* "argparse" subparsers can now be made mandatory by passing
  "required=True" to "ArgumentParser.add_subparsers()". (Contributed
  by Anthony Sottile in bpo-26510.)

* "ast.literal_eval()" is now stricter.  Addition and subtraction of
  arbitrary numbers are no longer allowed. (Contributed by Serhiy
  Storchaka in bpo-31778.)

* "Calendar.itermonthdates" will now consistently raise an exception
  when a date falls outside of the "0001-01-01" through "9999-12-31"
  range.  To support applications that cannot tolerate such
  exceptions, the new "Calendar.itermonthdays3" and
  "Calendar.itermonthdays4" can be used. The new methods return tuples
  and are not restricted by the range supported by "datetime.date".
  (Contributed by Alexander Belopolsky in bpo-28292.)

* "collections.ChainMap" now preserves the order of the underlying
  mappings.  (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-32792.)

* The "submit()" method of "concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor" and
  "concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor" now raises a "RuntimeError"
  if called during interpreter shutdown. (Contributed by Mark Nemec in
  bpo-33097.)

* The "configparser.ConfigParser" constructor now uses "read_dict()"
  to process the default values, making its behavior consistent with
  the rest of the parser.  Non-string keys and values in the defaults
  dictionary are now being implicitly converted to strings.
  (Contributed by James Tocknell in bpo-23835.)

* Several undocumented internal imports were removed. One example is
  that "os.errno" is no longer available; use "import errno" directly
  instead. Note that such undocumented internal imports may be removed
  any time without notice, even in micro version releases.


Alterações na API C
-------------------

The function "PySlice_GetIndicesEx()" is considered unsafe for
resizable sequences.  If the slice indices are not instances of "int",
but objects that implement the "__index__()" method, the sequence can
be resized after passing its length to "PySlice_GetIndicesEx()".  This
can lead to returning indices out of the length of the sequence.  For
avoiding possible problems use new functions "PySlice_Unpack()" and
"PySlice_AdjustIndices()". (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in
bpo-27867.)


Alterações de bytecode do CPython
---------------------------------

There are two new opcodes: "LOAD_METHOD" and "CALL_METHOD".
(Contributed by Yury Selivanov and INADA Naoki in bpo-26110.)

The "STORE_ANNOTATION" opcode has been removed. (Contributed by Mark
Shannon in bpo-32550.)


Windows-only Changes
--------------------

The file used to override "sys.path" is now called "<python-
executable>._pth" instead of "'sys.path'". See Encontrando módulos for
more information. (Contributed by Steve Dower in bpo-28137.)


Other CPython implementation changes
------------------------------------

In preparation for potential future changes to the public CPython
runtime initialization API (see **PEP 432** for an initial, but
somewhat outdated, draft), CPython's internal startup and
configuration management logic has been significantly refactored.
While these updates are intended to be entirely transparent to both
embedding applications and users of the regular CPython CLI, they're
being mentioned here as the refactoring changes the internal order of
various operations during interpreter startup, and hence may uncover
previously latent defects, either in embedding applications, or in
CPython itself. (Initially contributed by Nick Coghlan and Eric Snow
as part of bpo-22257, and further updated by Nick, Eric, and Victor
Stinner in a number of other issues). Some known details affected:

* "PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()" is not currently usable by embedding
  applications due to the requirement to create a Unicode object prior
  to calling "Py_Initialize". Use "PySys_AddWarnOption()" instead.

* warnings filters added by an embedding application with
  "PySys_AddWarnOption()" should now more consistently take precedence
  over the default filters set by the interpreter

Due to changes in the way the default warnings filters are configured,
setting "Py_BytesWarningFlag" to a value greater than one is no longer
sufficient to both emit "BytesWarning" messages and have them
converted to exceptions.  Instead, the flag must be set (to cause the
warnings to be emitted in the first place), and an explicit
"error::BytesWarning" warnings filter added to convert them to
exceptions.

Due to a change in the way docstrings are handled by the compiler, the
implicit "return None" in a function body consisting solely of a
docstring is now marked as occurring on the same line as the
docstring, not on the function's header line.

The current exception state has been moved from the frame object to
the co-routine. This simplified the interpreter and fixed a couple of
obscure bugs caused by having swap exception state when entering or
exiting a generator. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in bpo-25612.)


Notable changes in Python 3.7.1
===============================

Starting in 3.7.1, "Py_Initialize()" now consistently reads and
respects all of the same environment settings as "Py_Main()" (in
earlier Python versions, it respected an ill-defined subset of those
environment variables, while in Python 3.7.0 it didn't read any of
them due to bpo-34247). If this behavior is unwanted, set
"Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag" to 1 before calling "Py_Initialize()".

In 3.7.1 the C API for Context Variables was updated to use "PyObject"
pointers.  See also bpo-34762.

In 3.7.1 the "tokenize" module now implicitly emits a "NEWLINE" token
when provided with input that does not have a trailing new line.  This
behavior now matches what the C tokenizer does internally.
(Contributed by Ammar Askar in bpo-33899.)


Notable changes in Python 3.7.2
===============================

In 3.7.2, "venv" on Windows no longer copies the original binaries,
but creates redirector scripts named "python.exe" and "pythonw.exe"
instead. This resolves a long standing issue where all virtual
environments would have to be upgraded or recreated with each Python
update. However, note that this release will still require recreation
of virtual environments in order to get the new scripts.


Notable changes in Python 3.7.6
===============================

Devido a significativas preocupações de segurança, o parâmetro
*reuse_address* de "asyncio.loop.create_datagram_endpoint()" não é
mais suportado. Isso ocorre devido ao comportamento da opção de
soquete "SO_REUSEADDR" no UDP. Para mais detalhes, consulte a
documentação de "loop.create_datagram_endpoint()". (Contribuição de
Kyle Stanley, Antoine Pitrou e Yury Selivanov em bpo-37228.)


Notable changes in Python 3.7.10
================================

Versões anteriores do Python permitiam o uso de ";" e "&" como
separadores de parâmetros de consulta nas funções
"urllib.parse.parse_qs()" e "urllib.parse.parse_qsl()". Devido a
questões de segurança, e em conformidade com as recomendações mais
recentes do W3C, isso foi alterado para permitir apenas uma única
chave separadora, com "&" como padrão. Esta mudança também afeta as
funções "cgi.parse()" e "cgi.parse_multipart()" já que elas usam as
funções afetadas internamente. Para obter mais detalhes, consulte sua
respectiva documentação. (Contribuição de Adam Goldschmidt, Senthil
Kumaran e Ken Jin em bpo-42967.)


Notable changes in Python 3.7.11
================================

Uma correção de segurança altera o comportamento "ftplib.FTP" para não
confiar no endereço IPv4 enviado do servidor remoto ao configurar um
canal de dados passivo. Em vez disso, reutilizamos o endereço IP do
servidor ftp. Para códigos incomuns que requerem o comportamento
antigo, defina um atributo "trust_server_pasv_ipv4_address" em sua
instância de FTP para "True". (Veja gh-87451)

The presence of newline or tab characters in parts of a URL allows for
some forms of attacks. Following the WHATWG specification that updates
RFC 3986, ASCII newline "\n", "\r" and tab "\t" characters are
stripped from the URL by the parser "urllib.parse()" preventing such
attacks. The removal characters are controlled by a new module level
variable "urllib.parse._UNSAFE_URL_BYTES_TO_REMOVE". (See gh-88048)


Notable security feature in 3.7.14
==================================

Converter entre "int" e "str" em bases diferentes de 2 (binário), 4, 8
(octal), 16 (hexadecimal) ou 32 como base 10 (decimal) agora levanta
uma exceção "ValueError" se o número de dígitos em forma de string
estiver acima de um limite para evitar possíveis ataques de negação de
serviço devido à complexidade algorítmica. Esta é uma mitigação para
**CVE 2020-10735**. Este limite pode ser configurado ou desabilitado
por variável de ambiente, sinalizador de linha de comando ou APIs de
"sys". Veja a documentação de limitação de comprimento de conversão de
string inteira. O limite padrão é de 4300 dígitos em forma de string.
