PEP 405: 虚拟环境
=================

Virtual environments help create separate Python setups while sharing
a system-wide base install, for ease of maintenance.  Virtual
environments have their own set of private site packages (i.e.
locally-installed libraries), and are optionally segregated from the
system-wide site packages.  Their concept and implementation are
inspired by the popular "virtualenv" third-party package, but benefit
from tighter integration with the interpreter core.

本 PEP 添加了 "venv" 模块用于编程访问，以及 "pyvenv" 脚本用于命令在线
访问和管理。 Python 解释器会检查 "pyvenv.cfg"，文件的存在标志着虚拟环
境目录树的基础。

  **PEP 405** - Python虚拟环境
     PEP 由 Carl Meyer 撰写 ; 由 Carl Meyer 和 Vinay Sajip 实现。


PEP 420: 隐式命名空间包
=======================

原生支持不要求 "__init__.py" 标记文件和可以自动跨越多个路径节的包目录
（灵感来自多个命名空间包的第三方方案，如 **PEP 420** 中所述）

也參考:

  **PEP 420** - 隐式命名空间包
     PEP 由 Eric V. Smith 撰写，由 Eric V. Smith 和 Barry Warsaw 实现


PEP 3118: 新的内存视图实现和缓冲协议文档
========================================

**PEP 3118** 的实现已获得大幅改进。

新的 memoryview 实现全面修复了 Py_buffer 结构体中曾导致多起崩溃报告的
动态分配字段的所有权和生命周期问题。 此外，还修复了多个函数在非连续或
多维输入时崩溃或返回不正确结果的问题。

现在 memoryview 对象具有符合 PEP-3118 标准的 getbufferproc()，可以检查
使用者的请求类型。 新增了许多新的特性，其中的大部分已适用于非连续数组
和带有子偏移量的数组。

文档已进行更新，清楚地列出了导出方和使用方的责任。 缓冲区请求旗标志被
划分为基本旗标和复合旗标。 对非连续和多维的 NumPy 风格数组的内存布局进
行了说明。


相关特性
--------

* 现在 struct 模块语法中所有原生单字符格式指示符（可以选择添加 '@' 前
  缀）均受到支持。

* 在某些限制条件下，cast() 方法允许改变 C 连续数组的格式和形状。

* 任何数组类型都支持多维列表的表示形式。

* 任何数组类型都支持多维比较操作。

* 格式为 B、b 或 c 的可哈希（只读）类型的一维 memoryview 现在将是可哈
  希的。 （由 Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-13411 中贡献。）

* Arbitrary slicing of any 1-D arrays type is supported. For example,
  it is now possible to reverse a memoryview in O(1) by using a
  negative step.


API 的变化
----------

* 官方的最大维度数量限制已更改为 64。

* 空形状、区间和子偏移量的表示形式现在是空元组而不是 "None"。

* 现在对格式为 'B' (无符号字节型) 的 memoryview 元素的访问将返回一个整
  数（遵循结构体模块语法）。 要返回字节串对象则必须先将视图强制转换为
  'c'。

* 现在 memoryview 比较将使用操作数的逻辑结构并会按值来比较所有数组元素
  。 结构体模块语法中的所有格式化字符串均受到支持。 带有不可识别的格式
  化字符串的视图仍然被允许，但无论视图内容如何比较结果总是不相等。

* 更多改变请参阅 Build and C API Changes 和 Porting C code。

PEP 393: 灵活的字符串表示
=========================

Unicode字符串类型已改为支持多种内部表示法，具体取决于所表示的字符串中
具有最大 Unicode 序号（1、2 或 4 字节）的字符 。  这样，在常见情况下可
以节省空间，但在所有系统上都能使用完整的 UCS-4。  对于使用现有应用程序
接口的兼容性 来说，可能会并行存在几种表示法；随着时间的推移，这种兼容
性 应逐步淘汰。

在 Python 一方，此项改变应当没有任何缺点。

在 C API 方面，**PEP 393** 完全向下兼容。 旧的 API 至少还能使用五年。
使用传统 API 的应用程序不会完全受益于内存的减少，或者更糟的是，可能会
使用更多的内存，因为 Python 可能需要维护每个字符串的两个版本（传统格式
和新的高效存储）。


功能
----

由 **PEP 393** 引入的改变如下:

* Python 现在始终支持全部 Unicode 码位，包括非 BMP 码位 (即从
  ``U+0000`` 到 "U+10FFFF")。 窄编译版本和宽编译版本之间的区别已不复存
  在，Python 现在的行为就像宽编译版本，甚至在 Windows 下也是如此。

* 随着窄编译版本的消亡，窄编译版本特有的问题也得到了解决，例如：

  * 现在 "len()" 对于非 BMP 字符总是返回 1，因此 "len('\U0010FFFF') ==
    1"；

  * 替换对不会在字符串字面值中重新合并，因此 "'\uDBFF\uDFFF' !=
    '\U0010FFFF'"；

  * 索引或切分非 BMP 字符会返回预期的值，因此 "'\U0010FFFF'[0]" 现在会
    返回 "'\U0010FFFF'" 而不是 "'\uDBFF'"；

  * 标准库中的所有其他函数现在都能正确处理非 BMP 代码点。

* The value of "sys.maxunicode" is now always "1114111" ("0x10FFFF" in
  hexadecimal).  The "PyUnicode_GetMax()" function still returns
  either "0xFFFF" or "0x10FFFF" for backward compatibility, and it
  should not be used with the new Unicode API (see bpo-13054).

* "./configure" 标志 "--with-wide-unicode" 已被移除。


性能和资源使用情况
------------------

现在，Unicode 字符串的存储取决于字符串中的最高码位：

* 纯 ASCII 和 Latin1 字符串 ("U+0000-U+00FF") 每个码位使用 1 个字节；

* BMP 字符串 ("U+0000-U+FFFF") 每个码位使用 2 个字节；

* 非 BMP 字符串 ("U+10000-U+10FFFF") 每个码位使用 4 个字节。

这样做的效果是，对于大多数应用而言，字符串存储的内存使用量应该会大幅减
少 —— 尤其是与以前的宽 unicode 版本相比 —— 因为在许多情况下，即使在国
际环境中，字符串也将是纯 ASCII 格式（因为许多字符串存储的是非人类语言
数据，如 XML 片段、HTTP 标头、JSON 编码数据等）。 出于同样的原因，我们
还希望它能提高非小应用程序的 CPU 缓存效率。 在 Django 基准测试中，
Python 3.3 的内存使用量比 Python 3.2 少两到三倍，比 Python 2.7 略好一
些（详情请参见 PEP）。

  **PEP 393** - 灵活的字符串表示
     PEP 由 Martin von Löwis 撰写 ; 由 Torsten Becker 和 Martin von
     Löwis 实现。


PEP 397: 适用于Windows的Python启动器
====================================

Python 3.3 的 Windows 安装程序现在包含一个 "py" 启动程序，可用于以版本
无关的方式启动 Python 应用程序。

双击 "*.py" 文件时会隐式调用该启动器。 如果系统中只安装了一个 Python
版本，则将使用该版本运行文件。 如果安装了多个版本，则默认使用最新版本
，但也可以通过在 Python 脚本中加入 Unix 风格的“shebang 行”来覆盖该版本
。

启动器也可以作为 "py" 应用程序在命令行中显式使用。运行 "py" 遵循与隐式
启动脚本相同的版本选择规则，但可以通过传递适当的参数来选择更具体的版本
（例如，当 Python 2 也已安装时，使用 "-3" 来请求 Python 3；当安装了较
新的 Python 版本时，使用 "-2.6" 来特别请求较早的 Python 版本）。

除了启动器之外，Windows 安装程序现在还包含一个选项，可将新安装的
Python 添加到系统 PATH 中。 （由 Brian Curtin 在 bpo-3561 中贡献）。

也參考:

  **PEP 397** - 适用于Windows的Python启动器
     PEP 由 Mark Hammond 和 Martin v. Löwis 撰写 ; 由 Vinay Sajip实现
     。

  启动器文档: 适用于Windows的Python启动器

  安装器 PATH 修改: 查找Python可执行文件


PEP 3151: 重写 OS 和 IO 异常的层次结构
======================================

现在，由操作系统错误引发的异常层次结构既得到了简化，又更加精细。

您不必再为在 "OSError"、"IOError"、"EnvironmentError"、"WindowsError"
、"mmap.error"、"socket.error" 或 "select.error" 之间选择合适的异常类
型而烦恼。 所有这些异常类型现在都只有一个: "OSError"。 出于兼容性考虑
，其他名称将作为别名保留。

此外，现在捕捉特定错误条件也更容易了。无需从 "errno" 模块中检查
"errno" 属性（或 "args[0]" ）中的特定常量，您可以捕捉适当的 "OSError"
子类。可用的子类如下：

* "BlockingIOError"

* "ChildProcessError"

* "ConnectionError"

* "FileExistsError"

* "FileNotFoundError"

* "InterruptedError"

* "IsADirectoryError"

* "NotADirectoryError"

* "PermissionError"

* "ProcessLookupError"

* "TimeoutError"

并且 "ConnectionError" 本身具有细粒度的子类:

* "BrokenPipeError"

* "ConnectionAbortedError"

* "ConnectionRefusedError"

* "ConnectionResetError"

有了新的异常，现在就可以避免 "errno" 的常见用法了。 例如，下面是为
Python 3.2 编写的代码：

   from errno import ENOENT, EACCES, EPERM

   try:
       with open("document.txt") as f:
           content = f.read()
   except IOError as err:
       if err.errno == ENOENT:
           print("document.txt file is missing")
       elif err.errno in (EACCES, EPERM):
           print("You are not allowed to read document.txt")
       else:
           raise

现在无需导入 "errno"，也无需手动检查异常属性：

   try:
       with open("document.txt") as f:
           content = f.read()
   except FileNotFoundError:
       print("document.txt file is missing")
   except PermissionError:
       print("You are not allowed to read document.txt")

也參考:

  **PEP 3151** - 重写 OS 和 IO 异常的层次结构
     PEP 由 Antoine Pitrou 撰写并实现


PEP 380: 委托给子生成器的语法
=============================

PEP 380 增加了 "yield from" 表达式，允许 *generator* 将其部分操作委托
给另一个生成器。 这样，包含 "yield" 的代码部分就可以被分解出来，放在另
一个生成器中。 此外，还允许子生成器返回一个值，并将该值提供给委托生成
器。

虽然 "yield from" 表达式主要用于委托给子生成器，但它实际上允许委托给任
意子生成器。

对于简单的迭代器而言，"yield from iterable" 本质上只是 "for item in
iterable: yield item" 的简写形式：

   >>> def g(x):
   ...     yield from range(x, 0, -1)
   ...     yield from range(x)
   ...
   >>> list(g(5))
   [5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

但是，与普通的循环不同，"yield from" 允许子生成器直接从调用方作用域获
取、发送和抛出值，并向外层生成器返回一个最终值:

   >>> def accumulate():
   ...     tally = 0
   ...     while 1:
   ...         next = yield
   ...         if next is None:
   ...             return tally
   ...         tally += next
   ...
   >>> def gather_tallies(tallies):
   ...     while 1:
   ...         tally = yield from accumulate()
   ...         tallies.append(tally)
   ...
   >>> tallies = []
   >>> acc = gather_tallies(tallies)
   >>> next(acc)  # Ensure the accumulator is ready to accept values
   >>> for i in range(4):
   ...     acc.send(i)
   ...
   >>> acc.send(None)  # Finish the first tally
   >>> for i in range(5):
   ...     acc.send(i)
   ...
   >>> acc.send(None)  # Finish the second tally
   >>> tallies
   [6, 10]

推动这项改变的主要原则是允许即便被设计用来配合 "send" 和 "throw" 方法
使用的生成器也能像一个大函数能拆分成多个子函数那样容易地拆分为多个子生
成器。

也參考:

  **PEP 380** - 委托给子生成器的语法
     PEP 由 Greg Ewing 撰写，由 Greg Ewing 实现。由 Renaud Blanch，
     Ryan Kelly 和 Nick Coghlan 集成到3.3，由 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-
     Szmek 和 Nick Coghlan 编写文档


PEP 409: 清除异常上下文
=======================

PEP 409 引入了允许禁用串连的异常上下文显示的新语法。 这允许在不同异常
类型间进行转换的应用程序具有更清晰的错误消息:

   >>> class D:
   ...     def __init__(self, extra):
   ...         self._extra_attributes = extra
   ...     def __getattr__(self, attr):
   ...         try:
   ...             return self._extra_attributes[attr]
   ...         except KeyError:
   ...             raise AttributeError(attr) from None
   ...
   >>> D({}).x
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
     File "<stdin>", line 8, in __getattr__
   AttributeError: x

如果后面没有 "from None" 来屏蔽异常原因，则默认原始异常将被显示:

   >>> class C:
   ...     def __init__(self, extra):
   ...         self._extra_attributes = extra
   ...     def __getattr__(self, attr):
   ...         try:
   ...             return self._extra_attributes[attr]
   ...         except KeyError:
   ...             raise AttributeError(attr)
   ...
   >>> C({}).x
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<stdin>", line 6, in __getattr__
   KeyError: 'x'

   During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
     File "<stdin>", line 8, in __getattr__
   AttributeError: x

调试功能并未丢失，因为原始异常上下文在需要时仍然可用（举例来说，如果某
个中间库不正确地抑制了有价值的下层细节）:

   >>> try:
   ...     D({}).x
   ... except AttributeError as exc:
   ...     print(repr(exc.__context__))
   ...
   KeyError('x',)

也參考:

  **PEP 409** - 清除异常上下文
     PEP 由 Ethan Furman 撰写 ，由 Ethan Furman 和 Nick Coghlan 实现。


PEP 414: 显式的Unicode文本
==========================

为使从 Python 2 迁移重度使用 Unicode 字面值的 Unicode 自适应型 Python
应用程序更为容易，Python 3.3 重新支持字符串字面值使用 ""u"" 前缀。 该
前缀在 Python 3 中并无语法意义，提供它只是为了减少在迁移到 Python 3 时
纯粹机械性的修改数量，让开发者能更轻松的关注更重要的语法变化（比如默认
更严格的二进制和文本数据的区分）。

也參考:

  **PEP 414** - 显式的Unicode文本
     PEP 由 Armin Ronacher 撰写


PEP 3155: 类和函数的限定名称
============================

Functions and class objects have a new "__qualname__" attribute
representing the "path" from the module top-level to their definition.
For global functions and classes, this is the same as "__name__".  For
other functions and classes, it provides better information about
where they were actually defined, and how they might be accessible
from the global scope.

包含（未绑定）方法的示例:

   >>> class C:
   ...     def meth(self):
   ...         pass
   >>> C.meth.__name__
   'meth'
   >>> C.meth.__qualname__
   'C.meth'

包含嵌套类的示例:

   >>> class C:
   ...     class D:
   ...         def meth(self):
   ...             pass
   ...
   >>> C.D.__name__
   'D'
   >>> C.D.__qualname__
   'C.D'
   >>> C.D.meth.__name__
   'meth'
   >>> C.D.meth.__qualname__
   'C.D.meth'

包含嵌套函数的示例:

   >>> def outer():
   ...     def inner():
   ...         pass
   ...     return inner
   ...
   >>> outer().__name__
   'inner'
   >>> outer().__qualname__
   'outer.<locals>.inner'

这些对象的字符串表示形式也被修改以包括新的更准确的信息:

   >>> str(C.D)
   "<class '__main__.C.D'>"
   >>> str(C.D.meth)
   '<function C.D.meth at 0x7f46b9fe31e0>'

也參考:

  **PEP 3155** - 类和函数的限定名称
     PEP 由 Antoine Pitrou 撰写并实现


PEP 412: Key-Sharing Dictionary
===============================

用于存储对象属性的字典现在能够在彼此之间共享部分内部存储（比如说，存储
键及其对应哈希值的部分）。 这减少了程序创建多个非内置类型实例的内存消
耗。

也參考:

  **PEP 412** - Key-Sharing Dictionary
     PEP 由 Mark Shannon 撰写并实现。


PEP 362: 函数签名对象
=====================

新增的函数 "inspect.signature()" 使得对 python 可调用对象的内省更为简
单直观。 多种可调用对象均受到支持：不论是否带装饰器的 python 函数，类
以及 "functools.partial()" 对象。 新增的类 "inspect.Signature",
"inspect.Parameter" 和 "inspect.BoundArguments" 保存了有关调用签名的信
息，如标注、默认值、形参类别和绑定参数等，这极大地简化了编写装饰器和其
他任何验证或修改调用签名或参数的工作。

也參考:

  **PEP 362**: -  函数签名对象
     PEP 由 Brett Cannon，Yury Selivanov，Larry Hastings，Jiwon Seo 撰
     写，由 Yury Selivanov 实现


PEP 421: 添加 sys.implementation
================================

A new attribute on the "sys" module exposes details specific to the
implementation of the currently running interpreter.  The initial set
of attributes on "sys.implementation" are "name", "version",
"hexversion", and "cache_tag".

"sys.implementation" 的目的是将标准库所使用的具体实现专属数据合并到一
个命名空间中。 这允许不同的 Python 实现能更方便地共享同一个标准库基准
代码。 在其初始状态中，"sys.implementation" 只保持具体实现专属数据的一
小部分。 随着时间推移这个比例将进行调整以使标准库具有更好的可移植性。

标准库可移植性提高的一个例子是 "cache_tag"。 在 Python 3.3 中，
"sys.implementation.cache_tag" 被 "importlib" 用来支持与 **PEP 3147**
的一致性。 任何使用 "importlib" 来处理内置导入系统的 Python 实现都可使
用 "cache_tag" 来控制各个模块的缓存行为。


SimpleNamespace
---------------

"sys.implementation" 的实现还为 Python 引入了一个新类型:
"types.SimpleNamespace"。 相比基于映射的命名空间像是 "dict"，
"SimpleNamespace" 是基于属性的，像是 "object"。 不过，与 "object" 不同
，"SimpleNamespace" 实例是可写的。 这意味着你可以通过常规的属性访问来
添加、移除和修改命名空间。

也參考:

  **PEP 421** - 添加 sys.implementation
     PEP 由 Eric Snow 撰写并实现


使用 importlib 作为导入的实现
=============================

bpo-2377 - 替代 __import__ w/ importlib.__import__ bpo-13959 - 以纯
Python 重新实现部分 "imp" bpo-14605 - 使导入机制成为显式的 bpo-14646 -
要求加载器设置 __loader__ 和 __package__

现在 "__import__()" 函数是由 "importlib.__import__()" 驱动的。 这项工
作标志着 **PEP 302** 的“第 2 阶段”的结束。 这一变化带来了许多好处。 首
先，它允许更多驱动导入的机制对外公开而不是保持隐式并藏在 C 代码内部。
它还提供了单一的实现给所有支持 Python 3.3 的 Python VM 使用，有助于结
束导入语义中有关特定 VM 的偏差。 最后它还减轻了导入的维护负担，以允许
未来的更多改进。

对于普通用户来说，语义上的变化应该是不可见的。 对于目前直接操纵 import
或以程序方式调用 import 的代码来说，可能需要进行的代码修改将在本文档的
Porting Python code 一节中阐述。


新的API
-------

此项工作的一个好处是对外公开了实现 import 语句所涉及的机制。 这意味着
过去保持隐式的各种导入器现在都作为 "importlib" 包的组成部分被完整暴露
出来。

The abstract base classes defined in "importlib.abc" have been
expanded to properly delineate between *meta path finders* and *path
entry finders* by introducing "importlib.abc.MetaPathFinder" and
"importlib.abc.PathEntryFinder", respectively. The old ABC of
"importlib.abc.Finder" is now only provided for backwards-
compatibility and does not enforce any method requirements.

In terms of finders, "importlib.machinery.FileFinder" exposes the
mechanism used to search for source and bytecode files of a module.
Previously this class was an implicit member of "sys.path_hooks".

对于加载器，新的抽象基类 "importlib.abc.FileLoader" 可帮助编写使用文件
系统作为模块代码的存储机制的加载器。 针对源代码的
("importlib.machinery.SourceFileLoader"), 不带源代码的字节码文件的
("importlib.machinery.SourcelessFileLoader") 以及扩展模块的
("importlib.machinery.ExtensionFileLoader") 加载器现在均可被直接使用。

现在 "ImportError" 具有 "name" 和 "path" 属性并会在有相关数据要提供时
被设置。 针对导入失败的消息现在也会提供模块的完整名称而不是仅有模块名
称的末尾部分。

The "importlib.invalidate_caches()" function will now call the method
with the same name on all finders cached in "sys.path_importer_cache"
to help clean up any stored state as necessary.


可见的改变
----------

对于可能需要修改的代码，请参阅 Porting Python code 一节。

Beyond the expanse of what "importlib" now exposes, there are other
visible changes to import. The biggest is that "sys.meta_path" and
"sys.path_hooks" now store all of the meta path finders and path entry
hooks used by import.  Previously the finders were implicit and hidden
within the C code of import instead of being directly exposed. This
means that one can now easily remove or change the order of the
various finders to fit one's needs.

另一个变化是所有模块都具有 "__loader__" 属性，它储存被用于创建该模块的
加载器。 **PEP 302** 已被更新以强制要求加载器实现该属性，因此未来的第
3 方加载器一旦被更新人们将能确定该属性的存在。 但在此之前，import 都需
要在加载之后设置模块。

加载器现在还需要根据 **PEP 366** 设置 "__package__" 属性。 同样地，
import 本身已经在所有来自 "importlib" 的加载器上设置了该属性并且
import 是在加载之后自行设置该属性。

"None" is now inserted into "sys.path_importer_cache" when no finder
can be found on "sys.path_hooks". Since "imp.NullImporter" is not
directly exposed on "sys.path_hooks" it could no longer be relied upon
to always be available to use as a value representing no finder found.

有关语法变化的所有其他修改在为 Python 3.3 更新代码时都应当被纳入考虑，
因此应当仔细阅读本文档的 Porting Python code 章节。

（由 Brett Cannon 编写的实现）


其他语言特性修改
================

对Python 语言核心进行的小改动：

* Added support for Unicode name aliases and named sequences. Both
  "unicodedata.lookup()" and "'\N{...}'" now resolve name aliases, and
  "unicodedata.lookup()" resolves named sequences too.

  （由 Ezio Melotti 在 bpo-12753 中贡献。）

* Unicode 数据库更新至 UCD 版本 6.1.0

* 现在 "range()" 对象的相等性比较将返回反映下层的由这些 range 对象生成
  的序列的相等性的结果。 (bpo-13201)

* 现在 "bytes" 和 "bytearray" 对象的 "count()", "find()", "rfind()",
  "index()" 和 "rindex()" 方法将接受一个 0 到 255 范围内的整数作为其第
  一个参数。

  （由 Petri Lehtinen 在 bpo-12170 中贡献。）

* 现在 "bytes" 和 "bytearray" 的 "rjust()", "ljust()" 和 "center()" 方
  法将接受一个 "bytearray" 作为 "fill" 参数。 （由 Petri Lehtinen 在
  bpo-12380 中贡献。）

* "list" 和 "bytearray" 增加了新的方法: "copy()" 和 "clear()"
  (bpo-10516)。 相应地，"MutableSequence" 现在也定义了一个 "clear()"
  方法 (bpo-11388)。

* 原始字节串字面值现在可以写成 "rb"..."" 也可以写成 "br"...""。

  （由 Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-13748 中贡献。）

* 现在 "dict.setdefault()" 对给定的键将只执行一次查找，使其在配合内置
  类型使用时是原子化的。

  （由 Filip Gruszczyński 在 bpo-13521 中贡献。）

* 当函数调用与函数签名不匹配时产生的错误消息已获得大幅改进。

  （由 Benjamin Peterson 贡献。）


更细粒度的导入锁
================

之前版本的 CPython 是始终依赖于全局导入锁的。 这会导致预料之外的麻烦，
比如当导入一个模块会触发代码在其他线程中执行作为附带影响导致的死锁。
有时需要应用一些笨拙的绕过方式，比如 "PyImport_ImportModuleNoBlock()"
C API 函数。

在 Python 3.3 中，导入一个模块会使用单独的模块级锁。 这能正确地从多个
线程序列化给定模块的导入操作（防止出现被不完整初始化的模块），同时消除
之前提到的困扰。

（由 Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-9260 中贡献。）


内置函数和类型
==============

* "open()" gets a new *opener* parameter: the underlying file
  descriptor for the file object is then obtained by calling *opener*
  with (*file*, *flags*). It can be used to use custom flags like
  "os.O_CLOEXEC" for example. The "'x'" mode was added: open for
  exclusive creation, failing if the file already exists.

* "print()": 增加了 *flush* 关键字参数。 如果 *flush* 关键字参数为真值
  ，流会被强制刷新。

* "hash()": 默认将启用哈希随机化，参见 "object.__hash__()" 和
  "PYTHONHASHSEED"。

* "str" 类型新增了一个 "casefold()" 方法：返回字符串的大小写折叠副本，
  大小写折叠形式的字符串可被用于不区分大小写的匹配。 例如，
  "'ß'.casefold()" 将返回 "'ss'"。

* 序列的文档已被大幅重写以更好地解释二进制/序列的区别并为各种内置序列
  类型提供专属的文档章节 (bpo-4966)。


新增模块
========


faulthandler
------------

新增的调试模块 "faulthandler" 包含用于在发生错误（如段错误之类的程序崩
溃），达到超时限制或收到用户信号时显式转储 Python 回溯的函数。 调用
"faulthandler.enable()" 可安装针对 "SIGSEGV", "SIGFPE", "SIGABRT",
"SIGBUS", 和 "SIGILL" 信号的错误处理器。 你还可以在启动时通过设置
"PYTHONFAULTHANDLER" 环境变量或使用 "-X" "faulthandler" 命令行选项来启
用它们。

Linux 上的段错误示例:

   $ python -q -X faulthandler
   >>> import ctypes
   >>> ctypes.string_at(0)
   Fatal Python error: Segmentation fault

   Current thread 0x00007fb899f39700:
     File "/home/python/cpython/Lib/ctypes/__init__.py", line 486 in string_at
     File "<stdin>", line 1 in <module>
   Segmentation fault


ipaddress
---------

新的 "ipaddress" 模块提供了用于创建和操作代表 IPv4 和 IPv6 地址、网络
和接口（即关联到特定 IP 子网的 IP 地址）的工具。

（由 Google 和 Peter Moody 在 bpo-3144 中贡献。）


lzma
----

The newly-added "lzma" module provides data compression and
decompression using the LZMA algorithm, including support for the
".xz" and ".lzma" file formats.

（由 Nadeem Vawda 和 Per Øyvind Karlsen 在 bpo-6715 中贡献。）


改进的模块
==========


abc
---

改进了对包含由抽象方法组成的描述器的抽象基类的支持。 现在声明抽象描述
器的推荐方式是提供 "__isabstractmethod__" 作为动态更新的特性属性。 内
置的描述器已获得到相应的更新。

   * "abc.abstractproperty" 已被弃用，改为 "property" 配合
     "abc.abstractmethod()" 使用。

   * "abc.abstractclassmethod" 已被弃用，改为 "classmethod" 配合
     "abc.abstractmethod()" 使用。

   * "abc.abstractstaticmethod" 已被弃用，改为 "staticmethod" 配合
     "abc.abstractmethod()" 使用。

（由 Pablo Galindo 在 bpo-11610 中贡献。）

现在 "abc.ABCMeta.register()" 将返回已注册的子类，这意味着它现在可被用
作类装饰器 (bpo-10868)。


array
-----

The "array" module supports the "long long" type using "q" and "Q"
type codes.

（由 Oren Tirosh 和 Hirokazu Yamamoto 在 bpo-1172711 中贡献。）


base64
------

现在 "base64" 现代接口的解码函数可接受仅包含 ASCII 字符的 Unicode 字符
串。 例如，"base64.b64decode('YWJj')" 将返回 "b'abc'"。 （由 Catalin
Iacob 在 bpo-13641 中贡献。）


binascii
--------

除了它们通常接受的二进制对象，"a2b_" 现在还接受仅包含 ASCII 字符的字符
串作为输入。 （由 Antoine Pitrou 在 bpo-13637 中贡献。）


bz2
---

"bz2" 模块已被重新编写。 在此过程中，添加了一些新的特征:

* 新的 "bz2.open()" 函数：以二进制或文本模式打开 bzip2 压缩文件。

* "bz2.BZ2File" 现在可以读写任意文件型对象，具体方式是通过其构造器的
  *fileobj* 参数。

  （由 Nadeem Vawda 在 bpo-5863 中贡献。）

* 现在 "bz2.BZ2File" 和 "bz2.decompress()" 能解压缩多流输入（比如由
  **pbzip2** 工具所产生的输入）。 "bz2.BZ2File" 现在还可被用来创建这种
  类型的文件，具体做法是使用 "'a'" (append) 模式。

  （由 Nir Aides 在 bpo-1625 中贡献。）

* 现在 "bz2.BZ2File" 实现了所有的 "io.BufferedIOBase" API，但
  "detach()" 和 "truncate()" 等方法除外。


编码器
------

"mbcs" 编解码器被重写以能够在所有 Windows 版本上正确处理 "replace" 和
"ignore" 错误处理器。 "mbcs" 编解码器现在支持所有错误处理器，而不是只
能将 "replace" 用于编码并将 "ignore" 用于解码。

新增了一个 Windows 专属的编解码器: "cp65001" (bpo-13216)。 即 Windows
代码页 65001 (Windows UTF-8, "CP_UTF8")。 举例来说，如果控制台输出代码
页被设为 cp65001（例如使用 "chcp 65001" 命令）则 "sys.stdout" 就会使用
它。

多字节 CJK 解码器现在能更快地进行再同步。 它们将只忽略非法字节序列的第
一个字节。 例如，现在 "b'\xff\n'.decode('gb2312', 'replace')" 将在替换
字符后返回一个 "\n"。

(bpo-12016)

增量式 CJK 编解码器的编码器在每次调用其 encode() 方法时将不再重置。 例
如:

   >>> import codecs
   >>> encoder = codecs.getincrementalencoder('hz')('strict')
   >>> b''.join(encoder.encode(x) for x in '\u52ff\u65bd\u65bc\u4eba\u3002 Bye.')
   b'~{NpJ)l6HK!#~} Bye.'

对于旧版 Python 此示例将给出 "b'~{Np~}~{J)~}~{l6~}~{HK~}~{!#~} Bye.'"
。

(bpo-12100)

"unicode_internal" 编解码器已被弃用。


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

新增了一个 "ChainMap" 类以允许将多个映射当作一个单元来处理。 （由
Raymond Hettinger 针对 bpo-11089 编写，在 bpo-11297 中对外公开。）

The abstract base classes have been moved in a new "collections.abc"
module, to better differentiate between the abstract and the concrete
collections classes.  Aliases for ABCs are still present in the
"collections" module to preserve existing imports.  (bpo-11085)

The "Counter" class now supports the unary "+" and "-" operators, as
well as the in-place operators "+=", "-=", "|=", and "&=".
(Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-13121.)


contextlib
----------

"ExitStack" now provides a solid foundation for programmatic
manipulation of context managers and similar cleanup functionality.
Unlike the previous "contextlib.nested" API (which was deprecated and
removed), the new API is designed to work correctly regardless of
whether context managers acquire their resources in their "__init__"
method (for example, file objects) or in their "__enter__" method (for
example, synchronisation objects from the "threading" module).

(bpo-13585)


crypt
-----

Addition of salt and modular crypt format (hashing method) and the
"mksalt()" function to the "crypt" module.

(bpo-10924)


curses
------

   * If the "curses" module is linked to the ncursesw library, use
     Unicode functions when Unicode strings or characters are passed
     (e.g. "waddwstr()"), and bytes functions otherwise (e.g.
     "waddstr()").

   * Use the locale encoding instead of "utf-8" to encode Unicode
     strings.

   * "curses.window" 添加了新的 "curses.window.encoding" 属性。

   * "curses.window" 类有一个新的 "get_wch()" 方法用来获取一个宽字符。

   * "curses" 模块有一个新的 "unget_wch()" 函数用来推入一个宽字符以便
     下一个 "get_wch()" 将返回它。

（由 Iñigo Serna 在 bpo-6755 中贡献。）


datetime
--------

   * Equality comparisons between naive and aware "datetime" instances
     now return "False" instead of raising "TypeError" (bpo-15006).

   * New "datetime.datetime.timestamp()" method: Return POSIX
     timestamp corresponding to the "datetime" instance.

   * The "datetime.datetime.strftime()" method supports formatting
     years older than 1000.

   * The "datetime.datetime.astimezone()" method can now be called
     without arguments to convert datetime instance to the system
     timezone.


decimal
-------

bpo-7652 - integrate fast native decimal arithmetic.
   C-module and libmpdec written by Stefan Krah.

The new C version of the decimal module integrates the high speed
libmpdec library for arbitrary precision correctly-rounded decimal
floating point arithmetic. libmpdec conforms to IBM's General Decimal
Arithmetic Specification.

Performance gains range from 10x for database applications to 100x for
numerically intensive applications. These numbers are expected gains
for standard precisions used in decimal floating point arithmetic.
Since the precision is user configurable, the exact figures may vary.
For example, in integer bignum arithmetic the differences can be
significantly higher.

The following table is meant as an illustration. Benchmarks are
available at http://www.bytereef.org/mpdecimal/quickstart.html.

   +-----------+---------------+----------------+---------------+
   |           | decimal.py    | _decimal       | 加速          |
   |===========|===============|================|===============|
   | pi        | 42.02秒       | 0.345秒        | 120倍         |

   +-----------+---------------+----------------+---------------+


相关特性
~~~~~~~~

* "FloatOperation" 信号可选择启用针对混用 float 和 Decimal 时更严格的
  语义限制。

* If Python is compiled without threads, the C version automatically
  disables the expensive thread local context machinery. In this case,
  the variable "HAVE_THREADS" is set to "False".


API 的变化
~~~~~~~~~~

* C模块上下文限制（如下表），具体取决于计算机体系结构：

     +---------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------+
     |                     | 32位                  | 64位                           |
     |=====================|=======================|================================|
     | "MAX_PREC"          | "425000000"           | "999999999999999999"           |
     +---------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------+
     | "MAX_EMAX"          | "425000000"           | "999999999999999999"           |
     +---------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------+
     | "MIN_EMIN"          | "-425000000"          | "-999999999999999999"          |
     +---------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------+

* In the context templates ("DefaultContext", "BasicContext" and
  "ExtendedContext") the magnitude of "Emax" and "Emin" has changed to
  "999999".

* The "Decimal" constructor in decimal.py does not observe the context
  limits and converts values with arbitrary exponents or precision
  exactly. Since the C version has internal limits, the following
  scheme is used: If possible, values are converted exactly, otherwise
  "InvalidOperation" is raised and the result is NaN. In the latter
  case it is always possible to use "create_decimal()" in order to
  obtain a rounded or inexact value.

* The power function in decimal.py is always correctly-rounded. In the
  C version, it is defined in terms of the correctly-rounded "exp()"
  and "ln()" functions, but the final result is only "almost always
  correctly rounded".

* In the C version, the context dictionary containing the signals is a
  "MutableMapping".  For speed reasons, "flags" and "traps" always
  refer to the same "MutableMapping" that the context was initialized
  with. If a new signal dictionary is assigned, "flags" and "traps"
  are updated with the new values, but they do not reference the RHS
  dictionary.

* Pickling a "Context" produces a different output in order to have a
  common interchange format for the Python and C versions.

* The order of arguments in the "Context" constructor has been changed
  to match the order displayed by "repr()".

* "quantize()" 方法的 "watchexp" 形参已被弃用。


email
-----


策略框架
~~~~~~~~

The email package now has a "policy" framework.  A "Policy" is an
object with several methods and properties that control how the email
package behaves.  The primary policy for Python 3.3 is the "Compat32"
policy, which provides backward compatibility with the email package
in Python 3.2.  A "policy" can be specified when an email message is
parsed by a "parser", or when a "Message" object is created, or when
an email is serialized using a "generator".  Unless overridden, a
policy passed to a "parser" is inherited by all the "Message" object
and sub-objects created by the "parser".  By default a "generator"
will use the policy of the "Message" object it is serializing.  The
default policy is "compat32".

The minimum set of controls implemented by all "policy" objects are:

   +-----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
   | max_line_length | The maximum length, excluding the linesep character(s), |
   |                 | individual lines may have when a "Message" is           |
   |                 | serialized.  Defaults to 78.                            |
   +-----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
   | linesep         | The character used to separate individual lines when a  |
   |                 | "Message" is serialized.  Defaults to "\n".             |
   +-----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
   | cte_type        | "7bit" or "8bit".  "8bit" applies only to a "Bytes"     |
   |                 | "generator", and means that non-ASCII may be used where |
   |                 | allowed by the protocol (or where it exists in the      |
   |                 | original input).                                        |
   +-----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
   | raise_on_defect | 导致一个 "parser" 在遇到缺陷时引发错误而不是将它们添加  |
   |                 | 到 "Message" 对象的 "defects" 列表。                    |
   +-----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+

A new policy instance, with new settings, is created using the
"clone()" method of policy objects.  "clone" takes any of the above
controls as keyword arguments.  Any control not specified in the call
retains its default value.  Thus you can create a policy that uses
"\r\n" linesep characters like this:

   mypolicy = compat32.clone(linesep='\r\n')

Policies can be used to make the generation of messages in the format
needed by your application simpler.  Instead of having to remember to
specify "linesep='\r\n'" in all the places you call a "generator", you
can specify it once, when you set the policy used by the "parser" or
the "Message", whichever your program uses to create "Message"
objects.  On the other hand, if you need to generate messages in
multiple forms, you can still specify the parameters in the
appropriate "generator" call.  Or you can have custom policy instances
for your different cases, and pass those in when you create the
"generator".


Provisional Policy with New Header API
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While the policy framework is worthwhile all by itself, the main
motivation for introducing it is to allow the creation of new policies
that implement new features for the email package in a way that
maintains backward compatibility for those who do not use the new
policies.  Because the new policies introduce a new API, we are
releasing them in Python 3.3 as a *provisional policy*.  Backwards
incompatible changes (up to and including removal of the code) may
occur if deemed necessary by the core developers.

The new policies are instances of "EmailPolicy", and add the following
additional controls:

   +-----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
   | refold_source   | Controls whether or not headers parsed by a "parser"    |
   |                 | are refolded by the "generator".  It can be "none",     |
   |                 | "long", or "all".  The default is "long", which means   |
   |                 | that source headers with a line longer than             |
   |                 | "max_line_length" get refolded.  "none" means no line   |
   |                 | get refolded, and "all" means that all lines get        |
   |                 | refolded.                                               |
   +-----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
   | header_factory  | A callable that take a "name" and "value" and produces  |
   |                 | a custom header object.                                 |
   +-----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+

The "header_factory" is the key to the new features provided by the
new policies.  When one of the new policies is used, any header
retrieved from a "Message" object is an object produced by the
"header_factory", and any time you set a header on a "Message" it
becomes an object produced by "header_factory".  All such header
objects have a "name" attribute equal to the header name.  Address and
Date headers have additional attributes that give you access to the
parsed data of the header.  This means you can now do things like
this:

   >>> m = Message(policy=SMTP)
   >>> m['To'] = 'Éric <foo@example.com>'
   >>> m['to']
   'Éric <foo@example.com>'
   >>> m['to'].addresses
   (Address(display_name='Éric', username='foo', domain='example.com'),)
   >>> m['to'].addresses[0].username
   'foo'
   >>> m['to'].addresses[0].display_name
   'Éric'
   >>> m['Date'] = email.utils.localtime()
   >>> m['Date'].datetime
   datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 25, 21, 39, 24, 465484, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(-1, 72000), 'EDT'))
   >>> m['Date']
   'Fri, 25 May 2012 21:44:27 -0400'
   >>> print(m)
   To: =?utf-8?q?=C3=89ric?= <foo@example.com>
   Date: Fri, 25 May 2012 21:44:27 -0400

You will note that the unicode display name is automatically encoded
as "utf-8" when the message is serialized, but that when the header is
accessed directly, you get the unicode version.  This eliminates any
need to deal with the "email.header" "decode_header()" or
"make_header()" functions.

You can also create addresses from parts:

   >>> m['cc'] = [Group('pals', [Address('Bob', 'bob', 'example.com'),
   ...                           Address('Sally', 'sally', 'example.com')]),
   ...            Address('Bonzo', addr_spec='bonz@laugh.com')]
   >>> print(m)
   To: =?utf-8?q?=C3=89ric?= <foo@example.com>
   Date: Fri, 25 May 2012 21:44:27 -0400
   cc: pals: Bob <bob@example.com>, Sally <sally@example.com>;, Bonzo <bonz@laugh.com>

Decoding to unicode is done automatically:

   >>> m2 = message_from_string(str(m))
   >>> m2['to']
   'Éric <foo@example.com>'

When you parse a message, you can use the "addresses" and "groups"
attributes of the header objects to access the groups and individual
addresses:

   >>> m2['cc'].addresses
   (Address(display_name='Bob', username='bob', domain='example.com'), Address(display_name='Sally', username='sally', domain='example.com'), Address(display_name='Bonzo', username='bonz', domain='laugh.com'))
   >>> m2['cc'].groups
   (Group(display_name='pals', addresses=(Address(display_name='Bob', username='bob', domain='example.com'), Address(display_name='Sally', username='sally', domain='example.com')), Group(display_name=None, addresses=(Address(display_name='Bonzo', username='bonz', domain='laugh.com'),))

In summary, if you use one of the new policies, header manipulation
works the way it ought to:  your application works with unicode
strings, and the email package transparently encodes and decodes the
unicode to and from the RFC standard Content Transfer Encodings.


Other API Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New "BytesHeaderParser", added to the "parser" module to complement
"HeaderParser" and complete the Bytes API.

New utility functions:

   * "format_datetime()": given a "datetime", produce a string
     formatted for use in an email header.

   * "parsedate_to_datetime()": given a date string from an email
     header, convert it into an aware "datetime", or a naive
     "datetime" if the offset is "-0000".

   * "localtime()": With no argument, returns the current local time
     as an aware "datetime" using the local "timezone".  Given an
     aware "datetime", converts it into an aware "datetime" using the
     local "timezone".


ftplib
------

* 现在 "ftplib.FTP" 接受一个 "source_address" 关键字参数用于在创建外发
  套接字时指定 "(host, port)" 作为绑定调用中的源地址。 （由 Giampaolo
  Rodolà 在 bpo-8594 中贡献。）

* The "FTP_TLS" class now provides a new "ccc()" function to revert
  control channel back to plaintext.  This can be useful to take
  advantage of firewalls that know how to handle NAT with non-secure
  FTP without opening fixed ports.  (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodolà
  in bpo-12139.)

* Added "ftplib.FTP.mlsd()" method which provides a parsable directory
  listing format and deprecates "ftplib.FTP.nlst()" and
  "ftplib.FTP.dir()".  (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodolà in bpo-11072.)


functools
---------

The "functools.lru_cache()" decorator now accepts a "typed" keyword
argument (that defaults to "False" to ensure that it caches values of
different types that compare equal in separate cache slots.
(Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in bpo-13227.)


gc
--

It is now possible to register callbacks invoked by the garbage
collector before and after collection using the new "callbacks" list.


hmac
----

A new "compare_digest()" function has been added to prevent side
channel attacks on digests through timing analysis.  (Contributed by
Nick Coghlan and Christian Heimes in bpo-15061.)


http
----

"http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler" now buffers the headers and
writes them all at once when "end_headers()" is called.  A new method
"flush_headers()" can be used to directly manage when the accumulated
headers are sent. (Contributed by Andrew Schaaf in bpo-3709.)

"http.server" now produces valid "HTML 4.01 strict" output.
(Contributed by Ezio Melotti in bpo-13295.)

"http.client.HTTPResponse" now has a "readinto()" method, which means
it can be used as an "io.RawIOBase" class.  (Contributed by John Kuhn
in bpo-13464.)


html
----

"html.parser.HTMLParser" is now able to parse broken markup without
raising errors, therefore the *strict* argument of the constructor and
the "HTMLParseError" exception are now deprecated. The ability to
parse broken markup is the result of a number of bug fixes that are
also available on the latest bug fix releases of Python 2.7/3.2.
(Contributed by Ezio Melotti in bpo-15114, and bpo-14538, bpo-13993,
bpo-13960, bpo-13358, bpo-1745761, bpo-755670, bpo-13357, bpo-12629,
bpo-1200313, bpo-670664, bpo-13273, bpo-12888, bpo-7311.)

A new "html5" dictionary that maps HTML5 named character references to
the equivalent Unicode character(s) (e.g. "html5['gt;'] == '>'") has
been added to the "html.entities" module.  The dictionary is now also
used by "HTMLParser".  (Contributed by Ezio Melotti in bpo-11113 and
bpo-15156.)


imaplib
-------

The "IMAP4_SSL" constructor now accepts an SSLContext parameter to
control parameters of the secure channel.

（由 Sijin Joseph 在 bpo-8808 中贡献。）


inspect
-------

A new "getclosurevars()" function has been added. This function
reports the current binding of all names referenced from the function
body and where those names were resolved, making it easier to verify
correct internal state when testing code that relies on stateful
closures.

（由  Meador Inge 和 Nick Coghlan 在 bpo-13062 中贡献。）

A new "getgeneratorlocals()" function has been added. This function
reports the current binding of local variables in the generator's
stack frame, making it easier to verify correct internal state when
testing generators.

（由 Meador Inge 在 bpo-15153 中贡献。）


io
--

The "open()" function has a new "'x'" mode that can be used to
exclusively create a new file, and raise a "FileExistsError" if the
file already exists. It is based on the C11 'x' mode to fopen().

（由 David Townshend 在 bpo-12760 中贡献。）

The constructor of the "TextIOWrapper" class has a new *write_through*
optional argument. If *write_through* is "True", calls to "write()"
are guaranteed not to be buffered: any data written on the
"TextIOWrapper" object is immediately handled to its underlying binary
buffer.


itertools
---------

"accumulate()" now takes an optional "func" argument for providing a
user-supplied binary function.


logging
-------

The "basicConfig()" function now supports an optional "handlers"
argument taking an iterable of handlers to be added to the root
logger.

A class level attribute "append_nul" has been added to "SysLogHandler"
to allow control of the appending of the "NUL" ("\000") byte to syslog
records, since for some daemons it is required while for others it is
passed through to the log.


math
----

"math" 模块新增了一个函数 "log2()"，它返回 *x* 的以 2 为底的对数。

（由 Mark Dickinson 在 bpo-11888 中编写。）


mmap

现在 "read()" 方法能更好地兼容其他文件型对象：如果参数被省略或指定为
"None"，它将返回从当前文件位置到映射对象末尾的字节数据。 （由 Petri
Lehtinen 在 bpo-12021 中贡献。）


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

新增的 "multiprocessing.connection.wait()" 函数允许附带超时限制轮询多
个对象（如连接、套接字和管道）。 （由 Richard Oudkerk 在 bpo-12328 中
贡献。）

现在 "multiprocessing.Connection" 对象可通过多进程连接进行传输。 （由
Richard Oudkerk 在 bpo-4892 中贡献。）

现在 "multiprocessing.Process" 可接受 "daemon" 关键字参数来覆盖继承来
自父进程的 "daemon" 旗标的默认行为 (bpo-6064)。

新增的属性 "multiprocessing.Process.sentinel" 允许程序使用适当的 OS 原
语来同时等待多个 "Process" 对象 (例如，在 posix 系统上是使用 "select"
)。

新增的方法 "multiprocessing.pool.Pool.starmap()" 和 "starmap_async()"
提供了针对现有 "multiprocessing.pool.Pool.map()" 和 "map_async()" 函数
的 "itertools.starmap()" 对应物。 （由 Hynek Schlawack 在 bpo-12708 中
贡献。）


nntplib
-------

The "nntplib.NNTP" class now supports the context management protocol
to unconditionally consume "socket.error" exceptions and to close the
NNTP connection when done:

   >>> from nntplib import NNTP
   >>> with NNTP('news.gmane.org') as n:
   ...     n.group('gmane.comp.python.committers')
   ...
   ('211 1755 1 1755 gmane.comp.python.committers', 1755, 1, 1755, 'gmane.comp.python.committers')
   >>>

os
--

* The "os" module has a new "pipe2()" function that makes it possible
  to create a pipe with "O_CLOEXEC" or "O_NONBLOCK" flags set
  atomically. This is especially useful to avoid race conditions in
  multi-threaded programs.

* The "os" module has a new "sendfile()" function which provides an
  efficient "zero-copy" way for copying data from one file (or socket)
  descriptor to another. The phrase "zero-copy" refers to the fact
  that all of the copying of data between the two descriptors is done
  entirely by the kernel, with no copying of data into userspace
  buffers. "sendfile()" can be used to efficiently copy data from a
  file on disk to a network socket, e.g. for downloading a file.

  (Patch submitted by Ross Lagerwall and Giampaolo Rodolà in
  bpo-10882.)

* To avoid race conditions like symlink attacks and issues with
  temporary files and directories, it is more reliable (and also
  faster) to manipulate file descriptors instead of file names. Python
  3.3 enhances existing functions and introduces new functions to work
  on file descriptors (bpo-4761, bpo-10755 and bpo-14626).

  * The "os" module has a new "fwalk()" function similar to "walk()"
    except that it also yields file descriptors referring to the
    directories visited. This is especially useful to avoid symlink
    races.

  * The following functions get new optional *dir_fd* (paths relative
    to directory descriptors) and/or *follow_symlinks* (not following
    symlinks): "access()", "chflags()", "chmod()", "chown()",
    "link()", "lstat()", "mkdir()", "mkfifo()", "mknod()", "open()",
    "readlink()", "remove()", "rename()", "replace()", "rmdir()",
    "stat()", "symlink()", "unlink()", "utime()".  Platform support
    for using these parameters can be checked via the sets
    "os.supports_dir_fd" and "os.supports_follows_symlinks".

  * The following functions now support a file descriptor for their
    path argument: "chdir()", "chmod()", "chown()", "execve()",
    "listdir()", "pathconf()", "exists()", "stat()", "statvfs()",
    "utime()".  Platform support for this can be checked via the
    "os.supports_fd" set.

* "access()" accepts an "effective_ids" keyword argument to turn on
  using the effective uid/gid rather than the real uid/gid in the
  access check. Platform support for this can be checked via the
  "supports_effective_ids" set.

* The "os" module has two new functions: "getpriority()" and
  "setpriority()". They can be used to get or set process
  niceness/priority in a fashion similar to "os.nice()" but extended
  to all processes instead of just the current one.

  (Patch submitted by Giampaolo Rodolà in bpo-10784.)

* The new "os.replace()" function allows cross-platform renaming of a
  file with overwriting the destination.  With "os.rename()", an
  existing destination file is overwritten under POSIX, but raises an
  error under Windows. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-8828.)

* The stat family of functions ("stat()", "fstat()", and "lstat()")
  now support reading a file's timestamps with nanosecond precision.
  Symmetrically, "utime()" can now write file timestamps with
  nanosecond precision.  (Contributed by Larry Hastings in bpo-14127.)

* The new "os.get_terminal_size()" function queries the size of the
  terminal attached to a file descriptor. See also
  "shutil.get_terminal_size()". (Contributed by Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-
  Szmek in bpo-13609.)

* New functions to support Linux extended attributes (bpo-12720):
  "getxattr()", "listxattr()", "removexattr()", "setxattr()".

* New interface to the scheduler. These functions control how a
  process is allocated CPU time by the operating system. New
  functions: "sched_get_priority_max()", "sched_get_priority_min()",
  "sched_getaffinity()", "sched_getparam()", "sched_getscheduler()",
  "sched_rr_get_interval()", "sched_setaffinity()",
  "sched_setparam()", "sched_setscheduler()", "sched_yield()",

* New functions to control the file system:

  * "posix_fadvise()": Announces an intention to access data in a
    specific pattern thus allowing the kernel to make optimizations.

  * "posix_fallocate()": Ensures that enough disk space is allocated
    for a file.

  * "sync()": Force write of everything to disk.

* Additional new  posix functions:

  * "lockf()": Apply, test or remove a POSIX lock on an open file
    descriptor.

  * "pread()": Read from a file descriptor at an offset, the file
    offset remains unchanged.

  * "pwrite()": Write to a file descriptor from an offset, leaving the
    file offset unchanged.

  * "readv()": Read from a file descriptor into a number of writable
    buffers.

  * "truncate()": Truncate the file corresponding to *path*, so that
    it is at most *length* bytes in size.

  * "waitid()": Wait for the completion of one or more child
    processes.

  * "writev()": Write the contents of *buffers* to a file descriptor,
    where *buffers* is an arbitrary sequence of buffers.

  * "getgrouplist()" (bpo-9344): Return list of group ids that
    specified user belongs to.

* "times()" and "uname()": Return type changed from a tuple to a
  tuple-like object with named attributes.

* Some platforms now support additional constants for the "lseek()"
  function, such as "os.SEEK_HOLE" and "os.SEEK_DATA".

* New constants "RTLD_LAZY", "RTLD_NOW", "RTLD_GLOBAL", "RTLD_LOCAL",
  "RTLD_NODELETE", "RTLD_NOLOAD", and "RTLD_DEEPBIND" are available on
  platforms that support them.   These are for use with the
  "sys.setdlopenflags()" function, and supersede the similar constants
  defined in "ctypes" and "DLFCN".  (Contributed by Victor Stinner in
  bpo-13226.)

* "os.symlink()" now accepts (and ignores) the "target_is_directory"
  keyword argument on non-Windows platforms, to ease cross-platform
  support.


pdb

Tab 补全现在不仅适用于命令名称，也适用于它们的参数。 例如，对于
"break" 命令，函数和文件名将被补全。

（由 Georg Brandl 在 bpo-14210 中贡献）


pickle
------

现在 "pickle.Pickler" 对象具有一个可选的 "dispatch_table" 属性以允许针
对每个 pickler 设置缩减函数。

（由 Richard Oudkerk 在 bpo-14166 中贡献。）


pydoc
-----

Tk GUI 和 "serve()" 函数已从 "pydoc" 模块中被移除: "pydoc -g" 和
"serve()" 在 Python 3.2 中已被弃用。


re
--

现在 "str" 正则表达式已支持 "\u" 和 "\U" 转义符。

（由 Serhiy Storchaka 在 bpo-3665 中贡献。）


sched
-----

* "run()" now accepts a *blocking* parameter which when set to false
  makes the method execute the scheduled events due to expire soonest
  (if any) and then return immediately. This is useful in case you
  want to use the "scheduler" in non-blocking applications.
  (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodolà in bpo-13449.)

* "scheduler" class can now be safely used in multi-threaded
  environments.  (Contributed by Josiah Carlson and Giampaolo Rodolà
  in bpo-8684.)

* *timefunc* and *delayfunct* parameters of "scheduler" class
  constructor are now optional and defaults to "time.time()" and
  "time.sleep()" respectively.  (Contributed by Chris Clark in
  bpo-13245.)

* "enter()" and "enterabs()" *argument* parameter is now optional.
  (Contributed by Chris Clark in bpo-13245.)

* "enter()" and "enterabs()" now accept a *kwargs* parameter.
  (Contributed by Chris Clark in bpo-13245.)


select
------

Solaris and derivative platforms have a new class "select.devpoll" for
high performance asynchronous sockets via "/dev/poll". (Contributed by
Jesús Cea Avión in bpo-6397.)


shlex
-----

The previously undocumented helper function "quote" from the "pipes"
modules has been moved to the "shlex" module and documented.
"quote()" properly escapes all characters in a string that might be
otherwise given special meaning by the shell.


shutil
------

* 新的函数：

  * "disk_usage()": provides total, used and free disk space
    statistics.  (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodolà in bpo-12442.)

  * "chown()": allows one to change user and/or group of the given
    path also specifying the user/group names and not only their
    numeric ids.  (Contributed by Sandro Tosi in bpo-12191.)

  * "shutil.get_terminal_size()": returns the size of the terminal
    window to which the interpreter is attached.  (Contributed by
    Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek in bpo-13609.)

* "copy2()" and "copystat()" now preserve file timestamps with
  nanosecond precision on platforms that support it. They also
  preserve file "extended attributes" on Linux.  (Contributed by Larry
  Hastings in bpo-14127 and  bpo-15238.)

* Several functions now take an optional "symlinks" argument: when
  that parameter is true, symlinks aren't dereferenced and the
  operation instead acts on the symlink itself (or creates one, if
  relevant). (Contributed by Hynek Schlawack in bpo-12715.)

* When copying files to a different file system, "move()" now handles
  symlinks the way the posix "mv" command does, recreating the symlink
  rather than copying the target file contents.  (Contributed by
  Jonathan Niehof in bpo-9993.)  "move()" now also returns the "dst"
  argument as its result.

* "rmtree()" is now resistant to symlink attacks on platforms which
  support the new "dir_fd" parameter in "os.open()" and "os.unlink()".
  (Contributed by Martin von Löwis and Hynek Schlawack in bpo-4489.)


signal
------

* "signal" 模块新增的函数:

  * "pthread_sigmask()": 获取和/或改变调用方线程的信号掩码（由 Jean-
    Paul Calderone 在 bpo-8407 中贡献）；

  * "pthread_kill()": 向指定线程发送信号；

  * "sigpending()": 检查挂起的函数；

  * "sigwait()": 等待一个信号;

  * "sigwaitinfo()": 等待信号，返回相关的详细信息；

  * "sigtimedwait()": like "sigwaitinfo()" but with a timeout.

* The signal handler writes the signal number as a single byte instead
  of a nul byte into the wakeup file descriptor. So it is possible to
  wait more than one signal and know which signals were raised.

* "signal.signal()" and "signal.siginterrupt()" raise an OSError,
  instead of a RuntimeError: OSError has an errno attribute.


smtpd
-----

The "smtpd" module now supports **RFC 5321** (extended SMTP) and **RFC
1870** (size extension).  Per the standard, these extensions are
enabled if and only if the client initiates the session with an "EHLO"
command.

(Initial "ELHO" support by Alberto Trevino.  Size extension by Juhana
Jauhiainen.  Substantial additional work on the patch contributed by
Michele Orrù and Dan Boswell.  bpo-8739)


smtplib
-------

The "SMTP", "SMTP_SSL", and "LMTP" classes now accept a
"source_address" keyword argument to specify the "(host, port)" to use
as the source address in the bind call when creating the outgoing
socket.  (Contributed by Paulo Scardine in bpo-11281.)

"SMTP" now supports the context management protocol, allowing an
"SMTP" instance to be used in a "with" statement.  (Contributed by
Giampaolo Rodolà in bpo-11289.)

The "SMTP_SSL" constructor and the "starttls()" method now accept an
SSLContext parameter to control parameters of the secure channel.
(Contributed by Kasun Herath in bpo-8809.)


socket
------

* The "socket" class now exposes additional methods to process
  ancillary data when supported by the underlying platform:

  * "sendmsg()"

  * "recvmsg()"

  * "recvmsg_into()"

  (Contributed by David Watson in bpo-6560, based on an earlier patch
  by Heiko Wundram)

* The "socket" class now supports the PF_CAN protocol family
  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socketcan), on Linux
  (https://lwn.net/Articles/253425).

  (Contributed by Matthias Fuchs, updated by Tiago Gonçalves in
  bpo-10141.)

* The "socket" class now supports the PF_RDS protocol family
  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliable_Datagram_Sockets and
  https://oss.oracle.com/projects/rds/).

* The "socket" class now supports the "PF_SYSTEM" protocol family on
  OS X.  (Contributed by Michael Goderbauer in bpo-13777.)

* New function "sethostname()" allows the hostname to be set on unix
  systems if the calling process has sufficient privileges.
  (Contributed by Ross Lagerwall in bpo-10866.)


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

"BaseServer" now has an overridable method "service_actions()" that is
called by the "serve_forever()" method in the service loop.
"ForkingMixIn" now uses this to clean up zombie child processes.

* "ssl" 新增了两个随机生成函数：

  * "RAND_bytes()": 生成高加密强度的伪随机字节数据。

  * "RAND_pseudo_bytes()": 生成伪随机字节。

  （由 Victor Stinner 在 bpo-12049 中贡献。）

* The "ssl" module now exposes a finer-grained exception hierarchy in
  order to make it easier to inspect the various kinds of errors.
  (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-11183.)

* "load_cert_chain()" now accepts a *password* argument to be used if
  the private key is encrypted. (Contributed by Adam Simpkins in
  bpo-12803.)

* Diffie-Hellman key exchange, both regular and Elliptic Curve-based,
  is now supported through the "load_dh_params()" and
  "set_ecdh_curve()" methods. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in
  bpo-13626 and bpo-13627.)

* SSL sockets have a new "get_channel_binding()" method allowing the
  implementation of certain authentication mechanisms such as SCRAM-
  SHA-1-PLUS.  (Contributed by Jacek Konieczny in bpo-12551.)

* You can query the SSL compression algorithm used by an SSL socket,
  thanks to its new "compression()" method.  The new attribute
  "OP_NO_COMPRESSION" can be used to disable compression. (Contributed
  by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-13634.)

* Support has been added for the Next Protocol Negotiation extension
  using the "ssl.SSLContext.set_npn_protocols()" method. (Contributed
  by Colin Marc in bpo-14204.)

* SSL errors can now be introspected more easily thanks to "library"
  and "reason" attributes. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in
  bpo-14837.)

* The "get_server_certificate()" function now supports IPv6.
  (Contributed by Charles-François Natali in bpo-11811.)

* New attribute "OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE" allows setting SSLv3
  server sockets to use the server's cipher ordering preference rather
  than the client's (bpo-13635).


stat
----

The undocumented tarfile.filemode function has been moved to
"stat.filemode()". It can be used to convert a file's mode to a string
of the form '-rwxrwxrwx'.

（由 Giampaolo Rodolà 在 bpo-14807 中贡献。）


struct
------

The "struct" module now supports "ssize_t" and "size_t" via the new
codes "n" and "N", respectively.  (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in
bpo-3163.)


subprocess
----------

Command strings can now be bytes objects on posix platforms.
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-8513.)

A new constant "DEVNULL" allows suppressing output in a platform-
independent fashion.  (Contributed by Ross Lagerwall in bpo-5870.)


sys
---

The "sys" module has a new "thread_info" *named tuple* holding
information about the thread implementation (bpo-11223).


tarfile
-------

"tarfile" now supports "lzma" encoding via the "lzma" module.
(Contributed by Lars Gustäbel in bpo-5689.)


tempfile
--------

"tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile"'s "truncate()" method now accepts a
"size" parameter.  (Contributed by Ryan Kelly in bpo-9957.)


textwrap
--------

The "textwrap" module has a new "indent()" that makes it
straightforward to add a common prefix to selected lines in a block of
text  (bpo-13857).


threading
---------

"threading.Condition", "threading.Semaphore",
"threading.BoundedSemaphore", "threading.Event", and
"threading.Timer", all of which used to be factory functions returning
a class instance, are now classes and may be subclassed.  (Contributed
by Éric Araujo in bpo-10968.)

The "threading.Thread" constructor now accepts a "daemon" keyword
argument to override the default behavior of inheriting the "daemon"
flag value from the parent thread (bpo-6064).

The formerly private function "_thread.get_ident" is now available as
the public function "threading.get_ident()".  This eliminates several
cases of direct access to the "_thread" module in the stdlib.  Third
party code that used "_thread.get_ident" should likewise be changed to
use the new public interface.


time
----

The **PEP 418** added new functions to the "time" module:

* "get_clock_info()": Get information on a clock.

* "monotonic()": Monotonic clock (cannot go backward), not affected by
  system clock updates.

* "perf_counter()": Performance counter with the highest available
  resolution to measure a short duration.

* "process_time()": Sum of the system and user CPU time of the current
  process.

Other new functions:

* "clock_getres()", "clock_gettime()" and "clock_settime()" functions
  with "CLOCK_xxx" constants. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in
  bpo-10278.)

To improve cross platform consistency, "sleep()" now raises a
"ValueError" when passed a negative sleep value.  Previously this was
an error on posix, but produced an infinite sleep on Windows.


types
-----

Add a new "types.MappingProxyType" class: Read-only proxy of a
mapping. (bpo-14386)

The new functions "types.new_class()" and "types.prepare_class()"
provide support for **PEP 3115** compliant dynamic type creation.
(bpo-14588)


unittest
--------

"assertRaises()", "assertRaisesRegex()", "assertWarns()", and
"assertWarnsRegex()" now accept a keyword argument *msg* when used as
context managers.  (Contributed by Ezio Melotti and Winston Ewert in
bpo-10775.)

"unittest.TestCase.run()" now returns the "TestResult" object.


urllib
------

The "Request" class, now accepts a *method* argument used by
"get_method()" to determine what HTTP method should be used.  For
example, this will send a "'HEAD'" request:

   >>> urlopen(Request('https://www.python.org', method='HEAD'))

(bpo-1673007)


webbrowser
----------

The "webbrowser" module supports more "browsers": Google Chrome (named
**chrome**, **chromium**, **chrome-browser** or **chromium-browser**
depending on the version and operating system), and the generic
launchers **xdg-open**, from the FreeDesktop.org project, and **gvfs-
open**, which is the default URI handler for GNOME 3.  (The former
contributed by Arnaud Calmettes in bpo-13620, the latter by Matthias
Klose in bpo-14493.)


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

The "xml.etree.ElementTree" module now imports its C accelerator by
default; there is no longer a need to explicitly import
"xml.etree.cElementTree" (this module stays for backwards
compatibility, but is now deprecated).  In addition,  the "iter"
family of methods of "Element" has been optimized (rewritten in C).
The module's documentation has also been greatly improved with added
examples and a more detailed reference.


zlib
----

New attribute "zlib.Decompress.eof" makes it possible to distinguish
between a properly-formed compressed stream and an incomplete or
truncated one. (Contributed by Nadeem Vawda in bpo-12646.)

New attribute "zlib.ZLIB_RUNTIME_VERSION" reports the version string
of the underlying "zlib" library that is loaded at runtime.
(Contributed by Torsten Landschoff in bpo-12306.)


性能优化
========

已增加的主要性能改善:

* 得益于:pep:*393* ，Unicode 字符串的某些操作已得到优化：

  * the memory footprint is divided by 2 to 4 depending on the text

  * 将 ASCII 字符串编码为 UTF-8 不再需要对字符进行编码，UTF-8 的表示法
    与 ASCII 的表示法是共享的

  * the UTF-8 encoder has been optimized

  * repeating a single ASCII letter and getting a substring of an
    ASCII string is 4 times faster

* UTF-8 编码现在快 2 到 4 倍。  UTF-16 编码的速度现在提高了 10 倍。

    * "PyUnicode_READ", "PyUnicode_READ_CHAR", "PyUnicode_WRITE"

    * "PyUnicode_MAX_CHAR_VALUE"

* "PyArg_ParseTuple" 现在接受 "c" 格式的 "bytearray" (bpo-12380)。


弃用
====


不支持的操作系统
----------------

由于缺少维护人员，不再支持 OS/2 和 VMS 系统 。

由于维护负担，将 "COMSPEC" 设置为 "command.com" 的 Windows平台（含
Windows 2000）不再受支持。

OSF支持在3.2中被弃用，现在已经被完全删除。


已弃用的 Python 模块、函数和方法
--------------------------------

* 向 "object.__format__()" 传递非空字符串的做法已被弃用，在 Python 3.4
  中会产生一个 "TypeError" (bpo-9856)。

* 由于:pep:*393*，"unicode_internal" 编解码器已被弃用 。请使用 UTF-8、
  UTF-16 ("utf-16-le" 或``utf-16-be``) 或 UTF-32 ("utf-32-le" 或
  ``utf-32-be``)

* "ftplib.FTP.nlst()" and "ftplib.FTP.dir()": use "ftplib.FTP.mlsd()"

* "platform.popen()": use the "subprocess" module. Check especially
  the 使用 subprocess 模块替换旧函数 section (bpo-11377).

* bpo-13374: The Windows bytes API has been deprecated in the "os"
  module. Use Unicode filenames, instead of bytes filenames, to not
  depend on the ANSI code page anymore and to support any filename.

* bpo-13988: "xml.etree.cElementTree" 模块已被弃用。 只要有可能就会自
  动使用加速版本。

* The behaviour of "time.clock()" depends on the platform: use the new
  "time.perf_counter()" or "time.process_time()" function instead,
  depending on your requirements, to have a well defined behaviour.

* "os.stat_float_times()" 函数已被弃用。

* "abc" 模块：

  * "abc.abstractproperty" 已被弃用，改为 "property" 配合
    "abc.abstractmethod()" 使用。

  * "abc.abstractclassmethod" 已被弃用，改为 "classmethod" 配合
    "abc.abstractmethod()" 使用。

  * "abc.abstractstaticmethod" 已被弃用，改为 "staticmethod" 配合
    "abc.abstractmethod()" 使用。

* "importlib" 包：

  * 现在 "importlib.abc.SourceLoader.path_mtime()" 已被弃用而应改用
    "importlib.abc.SourceLoader.path_stats()" 因为字节码文件现在会同时
    储存修改时间和编译出该字节码文件的源文件的大小。

弃用的功能
----------

"array" 模块的``'u'`` 格式代码现已弃用，将在 Python 4 中与
("Py_UNICODE") API 的其他部分一起删除。


移植到 Python 3.3
=================

本节列出了先前描述的更改以及可能需要更改代码的其他错误修正.


移植 Python 代码
----------------

* 默认启用哈希随机化。 将 "PYTHONHASHSEED" 环境变量设为 "0" 可禁用哈希
  随机化。 另请参阅 "object.__hash__()" 方法。

* bpo-12326: 在 Linux 上，sys.platform 不再包含主要版本。现在它始终是
  "linux"，而不是 "linux2" 或 "linux3"，这取决于用于构建 Python 的
  Linux 版本。请用 sys.platform.startswith('linux') 替换 sys.platform
  == 'linux2'，如果不需要支持较旧的 Python 版本，则可直接替换成
  sys.platform == 'linux'。

* bpo-13847, bpo-14180: "time" 和 "datetime": 现在如果时间戳超出范围将
  会引发 "OverflowError" 而不是 "ValueError"。  现在如果 C 函数
  "gmtime()" 或 "localtime()" 失败 将会引发 "OSError"。

* The default finders used by import now utilize a cache of what is
  contained within a specific directory. If you create a Python source
  file or sourceless bytecode file, make sure to call
  "importlib.invalidate_caches()" to clear out the cache for the
  finders to notice the new file.

* "ImportError" now uses the full name of the module that was
  attempted to be imported. Doctests that check ImportErrors' message
  will need to be updated to use the full name of the module instead
  of just the tail of the name.

* The *index* argument to "__import__()" now defaults to 0 instead of
  -1 and no longer support negative values. It was an oversight when
  **PEP 328** was implemented that the default value remained -1. If
  you need to continue to perform a relative import followed by an
  absolute import, then perform the relative import using an index of
  1, followed by another import using an index of 0. It is preferred,
  though, that you use "importlib.import_module()" rather than call
  "__import__()" directly.

* "__import__()" no longer allows one to use an index value other than
  0 for top-level modules. E.g. "__import__('sys', level=1)" is now an
  error.

* Because "sys.meta_path" and "sys.path_hooks" now have finders on
  them by default, you will most likely want to use "list.insert()"
  instead of "list.append()" to add to those lists.

* Because "None" is now inserted into "sys.path_importer_cache", if
  you are clearing out entries in the dictionary of paths that do not
  have a finder, you will need to remove keys paired with values of
  "None" **and** "imp.NullImporter" to be backwards-compatible. This
  will lead to extra overhead on older versions of Python that re-
  insert "None" into "sys.path_importer_cache" where it represents the
  use of implicit finders, but semantically it should not change
  anything.

* "importlib.abc.Finder" no longer specifies a *find_module()*
  abstract method that must be implemented. If you were relying on
  subclasses to implement that method, make sure to check for the
  method's existence first. You will probably want to check for
  *find_loader()* first, though, in the case of working with *path
  entry finders*.

* "pkgutil" has been converted to use "importlib" internally. This
  eliminates many edge cases where the old behaviour of the **PEP
  302** import emulation failed to match the behaviour of the real
  import system. The import emulation itself is still present, but is
  now deprecated. The "pkgutil.iter_importers()" and
  "pkgutil.walk_packages()" functions special case the standard import
  hooks so they are still supported even though they do not provide
  the non-standard "iter_modules()" method.

* A longstanding RFC-compliance bug (bpo-1079) in the parsing done by
  "email.header.decode_header()" has been fixed.  Code that uses the
  standard idiom to convert encoded headers into unicode
  ("str(make_header(decode_header(h))") will see no change, but code
  that looks at the individual tuples returned by decode_header will
  see that whitespace that precedes or follows "ASCII" sections is now
  included in the "ASCII" section.  Code that builds headers using
  "make_header" should also continue to work without change, since
  "make_header" continues to add whitespace between "ASCII" and
  non-"ASCII" sections if it is not already present in the input
  strings.

* "email.utils.formataddr()" now does the correct content transfer
  encoding when passed non-"ASCII" display names.  Any code that
  depended on the previous buggy behavior that preserved the
  non-"ASCII" unicode in the formatted output string will need to be
  changed (bpo-1690608).

* "poplib.POP3.quit()" may now raise protocol errors like all other
  "poplib" methods.  Code that assumes "quit" does not raise
  "poplib.error_proto" errors may need to be changed if errors on
  "quit" are encountered by a particular application (bpo-11291).

* The "strict" argument to "email.parser.Parser", deprecated since
  Python 2.4, has finally been removed.

* The deprecated method "unittest.TestCase.assertSameElements" has
  been removed.

* The deprecated variable "time.accept2dyear" has been removed.

* 被弃用的 "Context._clamp" 属性已从 "decimal" 模块中移除。 在此之前它
  已被公有属性 "clamp" 取代。 （参见 bpo-8540。）

* The undocumented internal helper class "SSLFakeFile" has been
  removed from "smtplib", since its functionality has long been
  provided directly by "socket.socket.makefile()".

* Passing a negative value to "time.sleep()" on Windows now raises an
  error instead of sleeping forever.  It has always raised an error on
  posix.

* The "ast.__version__" constant has been removed.  If you need to
  make decisions affected by the AST version, use "sys.version_info"
  to make the decision.

* Code that used to work around the fact that the "threading" module
  used factory functions by subclassing the private classes will need
  to change to subclass the now-public classes.

* The undocumented debugging machinery in the threading module has
  been removed, simplifying the code.  This should have no effect on
  production code, but is mentioned here in case any application debug
  frameworks were interacting with it (bpo-13550).


移植 C 代码
-----------

* In the course of changes to the buffer API the undocumented
  "smalltable" member of the "Py_buffer" structure has been removed
  and the layout of the "PyMemoryViewObject" has changed.

  All extensions relying on the relevant parts in "memoryobject.h" or
  "object.h" must be rebuilt.

* Due to PEP 393, the "Py_UNICODE" type and all functions using this
  type are deprecated (but will stay available for at least five
  years).  If you were using low-level Unicode APIs to construct and
  access unicode objects and you want to benefit of the memory
  footprint reduction provided by **PEP 393**, you have to convert
  your code to the new Unicode API.

  However, if you only have been using high-level functions such as
  "PyUnicode_Concat()", "PyUnicode_Join()" or
  "PyUnicode_FromFormat()", your code will automatically take
  advantage of the new unicode representations.

* "PyImport_GetMagicNumber()" now returns "-1" upon failure.

* As a negative value for the *level* argument to "__import__()" is no
  longer valid, the same now holds for "PyImport_ImportModuleLevel()".
  This also means that the value of *level* used by
  "PyImport_ImportModuleEx()" is now "0" instead of "-1".


Building C extensions
---------------------

* The range of possible file names for C extensions has been narrowed.
  Very rarely used spellings have been suppressed: under POSIX, files
  named "xxxmodule.so", "xxxmodule.abi3.so" and
  "xxxmodule.cpython-*.so" are no longer recognized as implementing
  the "xxx" module.  If you had been generating such files, you have
  to switch to the other spellings (i.e., remove the "module" string
  from the file names).

  （在 bpo-14040 中实现。）


命令行开关的变化
----------------

* 删除了 -Q命令-line旗标 和相关工具。  检查 sys.flags.division_warning
  的代码需要更新。

  （bpo-10998，由 Éric Araujo 贡献。）

* 当 **python** 附带 "-S" 启动时，"import site" 将不再向模块搜索路径添
  加 site 专属路径。 在之前版本中则会这样做。

  （由 Carl Meyer 在 bpo-11591 中贡献并由 Éric Araujo 进行修改。）
