(Contributed by Arnon Yaari in [bpo-9951](https://bugs.python.org/issue9951) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue9951\].) - [`memoryview`](../library/stdtypes.xhtml#memoryview "memoryview") now supports tuple indexing (including multi-dimensional). (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in [bpo-23632](https://bugs.python.org/issue23632) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23632\].) - Generators have a new `gi_yieldfrom` attribute, which returns the object being iterated by `yield from` expressions. (Contributed by Benno Leslie and Yury Selivanov in [bpo-24450](https://bugs.python.org/issue24450) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue24450\].) - A new [`RecursionError`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#RecursionError "RecursionError") exception is now raised when maximum recursion depth is reached. (Contributed by Georg Brandl in [bpo-19235](https://bugs.python.org/issue19235) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue19235\].) CPython 实现的改进: - When the `LC_TYPE` locale is the POSIX locale (`C` locale), [`sys.stdin`](../library/sys.xhtml#sys.stdin "sys.stdin") and [`sys.stdout`](../library/sys.xhtml#sys.stdout "sys.stdout") now use the `surrogateescape` error handler, instead of the `strict` error handler. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in [bpo-19977](https://bugs.python.org/issue19977) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue19977\].) - `.pyo` files are no longer used and have been replaced by a more flexible scheme that includes the optimization level explicitly in `.pyc` name. (See [PEP 488 overview](#whatsnew-pep-488).) - Builtin and extension modules are now initialized in a multi-phase process, which is similar to how Python modules are loaded. (See [PEP 489 overview](#whatsnew-pep-489).) 标准库中的重大改进: - [`collections.OrderedDict`](../library/collections.xhtml#collections.OrderedDict "collections.OrderedDict") is now [implemented in C](#whatsnew-ordereddict), which makes it 4 to 100 times faster. - The [`ssl`](../library/ssl.xhtml#module-ssl "ssl: TLS/SSL wrapper for socket objects") module gained [support for Memory BIO](#whatsnew-sslmemorybio), which decouples SSL protocol handling from network IO. - The new [`os.scandir()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.scandir "os.scandir") function provides a [better and significantly faster way](#whatsnew-pep-471)of directory traversal. - [`functools.lru_cache()`](../library/functools.xhtml#functools.lru_cache "functools.lru_cache") has been mostly [reimplemented in C](#whatsnew-lrucache), yielding much better performance. - The new [`subprocess.run()`](../library/subprocess.xhtml#subprocess.run "subprocess.run") function provides a [streamlined way to run subprocesses](#whatsnew-subprocess). - The [`traceback`](../library/traceback.xhtml#module-traceback "traceback: Print or retrieve a stack traceback.") module has been significantly [enhanced](#whatsnew-traceback) for improved performance and developer convenience. 安全改进: - SSLv3 is now disabled throughout the standard library. It can still be enabled by instantiating a [`ssl.SSLContext`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLContext "ssl.SSLContext")manually. (See [bpo-22638](https://bugs.python.org/issue22638) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue22638\] for more details; this change was backported to CPython 3.4 and 2.7.) - HTTP cookie parsing is now stricter, in order to protect against potential injection attacks. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in [bpo-22796](https://bugs.python.org/issue22796) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue22796\].) Windows改进: - A new installer for Windows has replaced the old MSI. See [在Windows上使用 Python](../using/windows.xhtml#using-on-windows) for more information. - Windows builds now use Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0, and extension modules should use the same. Please read on for a comprehensive list of user-facing changes, including many other smaller improvements, CPython optimizations, deprecations, and potential porting issues. ## 新的特性 ### PEP 492 - Coroutines with async and await syntax [**PEP 492**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492\] greatly improves support for asynchronous programming in Python by adding [awaitable objects](../glossary.xhtml#term-awaitable), [coroutine functions](../glossary.xhtml#term-coroutine-function), [asynchronous iteration](../glossary.xhtml#term-asynchronous-iterable), and [asynchronous context managers](../glossary.xhtml#term-asynchronous-context-manager). Coroutine functions are declared using the new [`async def`](../reference/compound_stmts.xhtml#async-def) syntax: ``` >>> async def coro(): ... return 'spam' ``` Inside a coroutine function, the new [`await`](../reference/expressions.xhtml#await) expression can be used to suspend coroutine execution until the result is available. Any object can be *awaited*, as long as it implements the [awaitable](../glossary.xhtml#term-awaitable) protocol by defining the [`__await__()`](../reference/datamodel.xhtml#object.__await__ "object.__await__") method. PEP 492 also adds [`async for`](../reference/compound_stmts.xhtml#async-for) statement for convenient iteration over asynchronous iterables. An example of a rudimentary HTTP client written using the new syntax: ``` import asyncio async def http_get(domain): reader, writer = await asyncio.open_connection(domain, 80) writer.write(b'\r\n'.join([ b'GET / HTTP/1.1', b'Host: %b' % domain.encode('latin-1'), b'Connection: close', b'', b'' ])) async for line in reader: print('>>>', line) writer.close() loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() try: loop.run_until_complete(http_get('example.com')) finally: loop.close() ``` Similarly to asynchronous iteration, there is a new syntax for asynchronous context managers. The following script: ``` import asyncio async def coro(name, lock): print('coro {}: waiting for lock'.format(name)) async with lock: print('coro {}: holding the lock'.format(name)) await asyncio.sleep(1) print('coro {}: releasing the lock'.format(name)) loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() lock = asyncio.Lock() coros = asyncio.gather(coro(1, lock), coro(2, lock)) try: loop.run_until_complete(coros) finally: loop.close() ``` will output: ``` coro 2: waiting for lock coro 2: holding the lock coro 1: waiting for lock coro 2: releasing the lock coro 1: holding the lock coro 1: releasing the lock ``` Note that both [`async for`](../reference/compound_stmts.xhtml#async-for) and [`async with`](../reference/compound_stmts.xhtml#async-with) can only be used inside a coroutine function declared with [`async def`](../reference/compound_stmts.xhtml#async-def). Coroutine functions are intended to be run inside a compatible event loop, such as the [asyncio loop](../library/asyncio-eventloop.xhtml#asyncio-event-loop). 注解 在 3.5.2 版更改: Starting with CPython 3.5.2, `__aiter__` can directly return [asynchronous iterators](../glossary.xhtml#term-asynchronous-iterator). Returning an [awaitable](../glossary.xhtml#term-awaitable) object will result in a [`PendingDeprecationWarning`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#PendingDeprecationWarning "PendingDeprecationWarning"). See more details in the [异步迭代器](../reference/datamodel.xhtml#async-iterators) documentation section. 参见 [**PEP 492**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492\] -- Coroutines with async and await syntaxPEP 由 Yury Selivanov 撰写并实现 ### PEP 465 - A dedicated infix operator for matrix multiplication [**PEP 465**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0465) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0465\] adds the `@` infix operator for matrix multiplication. Currently, no builtin Python types implement the new operator, however, it can be implemented by defining [`__matmul__()`](../reference/datamodel.xhtml#object.__matmul__ "object.__matmul__"), [`__rmatmul__()`](../reference/datamodel.xhtml#object.__rmatmul__ "object.__rmatmul__"), and [`__imatmul__()`](../reference/datamodel.xhtml#object.__imatmul__ "object.__imatmul__") for regular, reflected, and in-place matrix multiplication. The semantics of these methods is similar to that of methods defining other infix arithmetic operators. Matrix multiplication is a notably common operation in many fields of mathematics, science, engineering, and the addition of `@` allows writing cleaner code: ``` S = (H @ beta - r).T @ inv(H @ V @ H.T) @ (H @ beta - r) ``` instead of: ``` S = dot((dot(H, beta) - r).T, dot(inv(dot(dot(H, V), H.T)), dot(H, beta) - r)) ``` NumPy 1.10 has support for the new operator: ``` >>> import numpy >>> x = numpy.ones(3) >>> x array([ 1., 1., 1.]) >>> m = numpy.eye(3) >>> m array([[ 1., 0., 0.], [ 0., 1., 0.], [ 0., 0., 1.]]) >>> x @ m array([ 1., 1., 1.]) ``` 参见 [**PEP 465**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0465) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0465\] -- A dedicated infix operator for matrix multiplicationPEP written by Nathaniel J. Smith; implemented by Benjamin Peterson. ### PEP 448 - Additional Unpacking Generalizations [**PEP 448**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0448) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0448\] extends the allowed uses of the `*` iterable unpacking operator and `**` dictionary unpacking operator. It is now possible to use an arbitrary number of unpackings in [function calls](../reference/expressions.xhtml#calls): ``` >>> print(*[1], *[2], 3, *[4, 5]) 1 2 3 4 5 >>> def fn(a, b, c, d): ... print(a, b, c, d) ... >>> fn(**{'a': 1, 'c': 3}, **{'b': 2, 'd': 4}) 1 2 3 4 ``` Similarly, tuple, list, set, and dictionary displays allow multiple unpackings (see [表达式列表](../reference/expressions.xhtml#exprlists) and [字典显示](../reference/expressions.xhtml#dict)): ``` >>> *range(4), 4 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) >>> [*range(4), 4] [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] >>> {*range(4), 4, *(5, 6, 7)} {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} >>> {'x': 1, **{'y': 2}} {'x': 1, 'y': 2} ``` 参见 [**PEP 448**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0448) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0448\] -- Additional Unpacking GeneralizationsPEP written by Joshua Landau; implemented by Neil Girdhar, Thomas Wouters, and Joshua Landau. ### PEP 461 - percent formatting support for bytes and bytearray [**PEP 461**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0461) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0461\] adds support for the `%`[interpolation operator](../library/stdtypes.xhtml#bytes-formatting) to [`bytes`](../library/stdtypes.xhtml#bytes "bytes")and [`bytearray`](../library/stdtypes.xhtml#bytearray "bytearray"). While interpolation is usually thought of as a string operation, there are cases where interpolation on `bytes` or `bytearrays` makes sense, and the work needed to make up for this missing functionality detracts from the overall readability of the code. This issue is particularly important when dealing with wire format protocols, which are often a mixture of binary and ASCII compatible text. 例如: ``` >>> b'Hello %b!' % b'World' b'Hello World!' >>> b'x=%i y=%f' % (1, 2.5) b'x=1 y=2.500000' ``` Unicode is not allowed for `%b`, but it is accepted by `%a` (equivalent of `repr(obj).encode('ascii', 'backslashreplace')`): ``` >>> b'Hello %b!' % 'World' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: %b requires bytes, or an object that implements __bytes__, not 'str' >>> b'price: %a' % '10€' b"price: '10\\u20ac'" ``` Note that `%s` and `%r` conversion types, although supported, should only be used in codebases that need compatibility with Python 2. 参见 [**PEP 461**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0461) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0461\] -- Adding % formatting to bytes and bytearrayPEP written by Ethan Furman; implemented by Neil Schemenauer and Ethan Furman. ### PEP 484 - Type Hints Function annotation syntax has been a Python feature since version 3.0 ([**PEP 3107**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3107) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3107\]), however the semantics of annotations has been left undefined. Experience has shown that the majority of function annotation uses were to provide type hints to function parameters and return values. It became evident that it would be beneficial for Python users, if the standard library included the base definitions and tools for type annotations. [**PEP 484**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484\] introduces a [provisional module](../glossary.xhtml#term-provisional-api) to provide these standard definitions and tools, along with some conventions for situations where annotations are not available. For example, here is a simple function whose argument and return type are declared in the annotations: ``` def greeting(name: str) -> str: return 'Hello ' + name ``` While these annotations are available at runtime through the usual `__annotations__` attribute, *no automatic type checking happens at runtime*. Instead, it is assumed that a separate off-line type checker (e.g. [mypy](http://mypy-lang.org) \[http://mypy-lang.org\]) will be used for on-demand source code analysis. The type system supports unions, generic types, and a special type named [`Any`](../library/typing.xhtml#typing.Any "typing.Any") which is consistent with (i.e. assignable to and from) all types. 参见 - [`typing`](../library/typing.xhtml#module-typing "typing: Support for type hints (see PEP 484).") module documentation - [**PEP 484**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484\] -- Type HintsPEP written by Guido van Rossum, Jukka Lehtosalo, and Łukasz Langa; implemented by Guido van Rossum. - [**PEP 483**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0483) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0483\] -- The Theory of Type HintsPEP written by Guido van Rossum ### PEP 471 - os.scandir() function -- a better and faster directory iterator [**PEP 471**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0471) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0471\] adds a new directory iteration function, [`os.scandir()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.scandir "os.scandir"), to the standard library. Additionally, [`os.walk()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.walk "os.walk") is now implemented using `scandir`, which makes it 3 to 5 times faster on POSIX systems and 7 to 20 times faster on Windows systems. This is largely achieved by greatly reducing the number of calls to [`os.stat()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.stat "os.stat")required to walk a directory tree. Additionally, `scandir` returns an iterator, as opposed to returning a list of file names, which improves memory efficiency when iterating over very large directories. The following example shows a simple use of [`os.scandir()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.scandir "os.scandir") to display all the files (excluding directories) in the given *path* that don't start with `'.'`. The [`entry.is_file()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.DirEntry.is_file "os.DirEntry.is_file") call will generally not make an additional system call: ``` for entry in os.scandir(path): if not entry.name.startswith('.') and entry.is_file(): print(entry.name) ``` 参见 [**PEP 471**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0471) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0471\] -- os.scandir() function -- a better and faster directory iteratorPEP written and implemented by Ben Hoyt with the help of Victor Stinner. ### PEP 475: Retry system calls failing with EINTR An [`errno.EINTR`](../library/errno.xhtml#errno.EINTR "errno.EINTR") error code is returned whenever a system call, that is waiting for I/O, is interrupted by a signal. Previously, Python would raise [`InterruptedError`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#InterruptedError "InterruptedError") in such cases. This meant that, when writing a Python application, the developer had two choices: 1. Ignore the `InterruptedError`. 2. Handle the `InterruptedError` and attempt to restart the interrupted system call at every call site. The first option makes an application fail intermittently. The second option adds a large amount of boilerplate that makes the code nearly unreadable. Compare: ``` print("Hello World") ``` 和: ``` while True: try: print("Hello World") break except InterruptedError: continue ``` [**PEP 475**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0475) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0475\] implements automatic retry of system calls on `EINTR`. This removes the burden of dealing with `EINTR`or [`InterruptedError`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#InterruptedError "InterruptedError") in user code in most situations and makes Python programs, including the standard library, more robust. Note that the system call is only retried if the signal handler does not raise an exception. Below is a list of functions which are now retried when interrupted by a signal: - [`open()`](../library/functions.xhtml#open "open") and [`io.open()`](../library/io.xhtml#io.open "io.open"); - functions of the [`faulthandler`](../library/faulthandler.xhtml#module-faulthandler "faulthandler: Dump the Python traceback.") module; - [`os`](../library/os.xhtml#module-os "os: Miscellaneous operating system interfaces.") functions: [`fchdir()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.fchdir "os.fchdir"), [`fchmod()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.fchmod "os.fchmod"), [`fchown()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.fchown "os.fchown"), [`fdatasync()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.fdatasync "os.fdatasync"), [`fstat()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.fstat "os.fstat"), [`fstatvfs()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.fstatvfs "os.fstatvfs"), [`fsync()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.fsync "os.fsync"), [`ftruncate()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.ftruncate "os.ftruncate"), [`mkfifo()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.mkfifo "os.mkfifo"), [`mknod()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.mknod "os.mknod"), [`open()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.open "os.open"), [`posix_fadvise()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.posix_fadvise "os.posix_fadvise"), [`posix_fallocate()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.posix_fallocate "os.posix_fallocate"), [`pread()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.pread "os.pread"), [`pwrite()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.pwrite "os.pwrite"), [`read()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.read "os.read"), [`readv()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.readv "os.readv"), [`sendfile()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.sendfile "os.sendfile"), [`wait3()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.wait3 "os.wait3"), [`wait4()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.wait4 "os.wait4"), [`wait()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.wait "os.wait"), [`waitid()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.waitid "os.waitid"), [`waitpid()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.waitpid "os.waitpid"), [`write()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.write "os.write"), [`writev()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.writev "os.writev"); - special cases: [`os.close()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.close "os.close") and [`os.dup2()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.dup2 "os.dup2") now ignore [`EINTR`](../library/errno.xhtml#errno.EINTR "errno.EINTR") errors; the syscall is not retried (see the PEP for the rationale); - [`select`](../library/select.xhtml#module-select "select: Wait for I/O completion on multiple streams.") functions: [`devpoll.poll()`](../library/select.xhtml#select.devpoll.poll "select.devpoll.poll"), [`epoll.poll()`](../library/select.xhtml#select.epoll.poll "select.epoll.poll"), [`kqueue.control()`](../library/select.xhtml#select.kqueue.control "select.kqueue.control"), [`poll.poll()`](../library/select.xhtml#select.poll.poll "select.poll.poll"), [`select()`](../library/select.xhtml#select.select "select.select"); - methods of the [`socket`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket "socket.socket") class: [`accept()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.accept "socket.socket.accept"), [`connect()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.connect "socket.socket.connect") (except for non-blocking sockets), [`recv()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.recv "socket.socket.recv"), [`recvfrom()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.recvfrom "socket.socket.recvfrom"), [`recvmsg()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.recvmsg "socket.socket.recvmsg"), [`send()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.send "socket.socket.send"), [`sendall()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.sendall "socket.socket.sendall"), [`sendmsg()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.sendmsg "socket.socket.sendmsg"), [`sendto()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.sendto "socket.socket.sendto"); - [`signal.sigtimedwait()`](../library/signal.xhtml#signal.sigtimedwait "signal.sigtimedwait") and [`signal.sigwaitinfo()`](../library/signal.xhtml#signal.sigwaitinfo "signal.sigwaitinfo"); - [`time.sleep()`](../library/time.xhtml#time.sleep "time.sleep"). 参见 [**PEP 475**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0475) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0475\] -- Retry system calls failing with EINTRPEP and implementation written by Charles-François Natali and Victor Stinner, with the help of Antoine Pitrou (the French connection). ### PEP 479: Change StopIteration handling inside generators The interaction of generators and [`StopIteration`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#StopIteration "StopIteration") in Python 3.4 and earlier was sometimes surprising, and could conceal obscure bugs. Previously, `StopIteration` raised accidentally inside a generator function was interpreted as the end of the iteration by the loop construct driving the generator. [**PEP 479**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0479) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0479\] changes the behavior of generators: when a `StopIteration`exception is raised inside a generator, it is replaced with a [`RuntimeError`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#RuntimeError "RuntimeError") before it exits the generator frame. The main goal of this change is to ease debugging in the situation where an unguarded [`next()`](../library/functions.xhtml#next "next") call raises `StopIteration` and causes the iteration controlled by the generator to terminate silently. This is particularly pernicious in combination with the `yield from` construct. This is a backwards incompatible change, so to enable the new behavior, a [\_\_future\_\_](../glossary.xhtml#term-future) import is necessary: ``` >>> from __future__ import generator_stop >>> def gen(): ... next(iter([])) ... yield ... >>> next(gen()) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 2, in gen StopIteration The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> RuntimeError: generator raised StopIteration ``` Without a `__future__` import, a [`PendingDeprecationWarning`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#PendingDeprecationWarning "PendingDeprecationWarning") will be raised whenever a [`StopIteration`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#StopIteration "StopIteration") exception is raised inside a generator. 参见 [**PEP 479**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0479) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0479\] -- Change StopIteration handling inside generatorsPEP written by Chris Angelico and Guido van Rossum. Implemented by Chris Angelico, Yury Selivanov and Nick Coghlan. ### PEP 485: A function for testing approximate equality [**PEP 485**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0485) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0485\] adds the [`math.isclose()`](../library/math.xhtml#math.isclose "math.isclose") and [`cmath.isclose()`](../library/cmath.xhtml#cmath.isclose "cmath.isclose")functions which tell whether two values are approximately equal or "close" to each other. Whether or not two values are considered close is determined according to given absolute and relative tolerances. Relative tolerance is the maximum allowed difference between `isclose`arguments, relative to the larger absolute value: ``` >>> import math >>> a = 5.0 >>> b = 4.99998 >>> math.isclose(a, b, rel_tol=1e-5) True >>> math.isclose(a, b, rel_tol=1e-6) False ``` It is also possible to compare two values using absolute tolerance, which must be a non-negative value: ``` >>> import math >>> a = 5.0 >>> b = 4.99998 >>> math.isclose(a, b, abs_tol=0.00003) True >>> math.isclose(a, b, abs_tol=0.00001) False ``` 参见 [**PEP 485**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0485) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0485\] —— 用于测试近似相等的函数PEP written by Christopher Barker; implemented by Chris Barker and Tal Einat. ### PEP 486: Make the Python Launcher aware of virtual environments [**PEP 486**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0486) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0486\] makes the Windows launcher (see [**PEP 397**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0397) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0397\]) aware of an active virtual environment. When the default interpreter would be used and the `VIRTUAL_ENV` environment variable is set, the interpreter in the virtual environment will be used. 参见 [**PEP 486**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0486) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0486\] -- Make the Python Launcher aware of virtual environmentsPEP written and implemented by Paul Moore. ### PEP 488: Elimination of PYO files [**PEP 488**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0488) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0488\] does away with the concept of `.pyo` files. This means that `.pyc` files represent both unoptimized and optimized bytecode. To prevent the need to constantly regenerate bytecode files, `.pyc` files now have an optional `opt-` tag in their name when the bytecode is optimized. This has the side-effect of no more bytecode file name clashes when running under either [`-O`](../using/cmdline.xhtml#cmdoption-o) or [`-OO`](../using/cmdline.xhtml#cmdoption-oo). Consequently, bytecode files generated from [`-O`](../using/cmdline.xhtml#cmdoption-o), and [`-OO`](../using/cmdline.xhtml#cmdoption-oo) may now exist simultaneously. [`importlib.util.cache_from_source()`](../library/importlib.xhtml#importlib.util.cache_from_source "importlib.util.cache_from_source") has an updated API to help with this change. 参见 [**PEP 488**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0488) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0488\] -- Elimination of PYO filesPEP written and implemented by Brett Cannon. ### PEP 489: Multi-phase extension module initialization [**PEP 489**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0489) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0489\] updates extension module initialization to take advantage of the two step module loading mechanism introduced by [**PEP 451**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0451) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0451\] in Python 3.4. This change brings the import semantics of extension modules that opt-in to using the new mechanism much closer to those of Python source and bytecode modules, including the ability to use any valid identifier as a module name, rather than being restricted to ASCII. 参见 [**PEP 489**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0489) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0489\] -- Multi-phase extension module initializationPEP written by Petr Viktorin, Stefan Behnel, and Nick Coghlan; implemented by Petr Viktorin. ## 其他语言特性修改 Some smaller changes made to the core Python language are: - Added the `"namereplace"` error handlers. The `"backslashreplace"`error handlers now work with decoding and translating.

[provisional](../glossary.xhtml#term-provisional-api) module provides standard definitions and tools for function type annotations. See [Type Hints](#whatsnew-pep-484) for more information. ### zipapp The new [`zipapp`](../library/zipapp.xhtml#module-zipapp "zipapp: Manage executable Python zip archives") module (specified in [**PEP 441**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0441) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0441\]) provides an API and command line tool for creating executable Python Zip Applications, which were introduced in Python 2.6 in [bpo-1739468](https://bugs.python.org/issue1739468) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue1739468\], but which were not well publicized, either at the time or since. With the new module, bundling your application is as simple as putting all the files, including a `__main__.py` file, into a directory `myapp`and running: ``` $ python -m zipapp myapp $ python myapp.pyz ``` The module implementation has been contributed by Paul Moore in [bpo-23491](https://bugs.python.org/issue23491) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23491\]. 参见 [**PEP 441**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0441) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0441\] -- Improving Python ZIP Application Support ## 改进的模块 ### argparse The [`ArgumentParser`](../library/argparse.xhtml#argparse.ArgumentParser "argparse.ArgumentParser") class now allows disabling [abbreviated usage](../library/argparse.xhtml#prefix-matching) of long options by setting [allow\_abbrev](../library/argparse.xhtml#allow-abbrev) to `False`.

(Contributed by Victor Stinner in [bpo-21326](https://bugs.python.org/issue21326) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21326\].) - A new [`loop.create_task()`](../library/asyncio-eventloop.xhtml#asyncio.loop.create_task "asyncio.loop.create_task")to conveniently create and schedule a new [`Task`](../library/asyncio-task.xhtml#asyncio.Task "asyncio.Task")for a coroutine. The `create_task` method is also used by all asyncio functions that wrap coroutines into tasks, such as [`asyncio.wait()`](../library/asyncio-task.xhtml#asyncio.wait "asyncio.wait"), [`asyncio.gather()`](../library/asyncio-task.xhtml#asyncio.gather "asyncio.gather"), etc. (Contributed by Victor Stinner.) - A new [`transport.get_write_buffer_limits()`](../library/asyncio-protocol.xhtml#asyncio.WriteTransport.get_write_buffer_limits "asyncio.WriteTransport.get_write_buffer_limits")method to inquire for *high-* and *low-* water limits of the flow control.

(Contributed by Yury Selivanov.) - New [`Queue.join()`](../library/asyncio-queue.xhtml#asyncio.Queue.join "asyncio.Queue.join") and [`Queue.task_done()`](../library/asyncio-queue.xhtml#asyncio.Queue.task_done "asyncio.Queue.task_done") queue methods. (Contributed by Victor Stinner.) - The `JoinableQueue` class was removed, in favor of the [`asyncio.Queue`](../library/asyncio-queue.xhtml#asyncio.Queue "asyncio.Queue") class. (Contributed by Victor Stinner.) Updates in 3.5.1: - The [`ensure_future()`](../library/asyncio-future.xhtml#asyncio.ensure_future "asyncio.ensure_future") function and all functions that use it, such as [`loop.run_until_complete()`](../library/asyncio-eventloop.xhtml#asyncio.loop.run_until_complete "asyncio.loop.run_until_complete"), now accept all kinds of [awaitable objects](../glossary.xhtml#term-awaitable).

(Contributed by Yann Sionneau.) Updates in 3.5.2: - New [`loop.create_future()`](../library/asyncio-eventloop.xhtml#asyncio.loop.create_future "asyncio.loop.create_future")method to create Future objects. This allows alternative event loop implementations, such as [uvloop](https://github.com/MagicStack/uvloop) \[https://github.com/MagicStack/uvloop\], to provide a faster [`asyncio.Future`](../library/asyncio-future.xhtml#asyncio.Future "asyncio.Future") implementation. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov.) - New [`loop.get_exception_handler()`](../library/asyncio-eventloop.xhtml#asyncio.loop.get_exception_handler "asyncio.loop.get_exception_handler")method to get the current exception handler. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov.) - New [`StreamReader.readuntil()`](../library/asyncio-stream.xhtml#asyncio.StreamReader.readuntil "asyncio.StreamReader.readuntil")method to read data from the stream until a separator bytes sequence appears.

The [`deque`](../library/collections.xhtml#collections.deque "collections.deque") class now defines [`index()`](../library/collections.xhtml#collections.deque.index "collections.deque.index"), [`insert()`](../library/collections.xhtml#collections.deque.insert "collections.deque.insert"), and [`copy()`](../library/collections.xhtml#collections.deque.copy "collections.deque.copy"), and supports the `+` and `*` operators. This allows deques to be recognized as a [`MutableSequence`](../library/collections.abc.xhtml#collections.abc.MutableSequence "collections.abc.MutableSequence")and improves their substitutability for lists. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in [bpo-23704](https://bugs.python.org/issue23704) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23704\].) Docstrings produced by [`namedtuple()`](../library/collections.xhtml#collections.namedtuple "collections.namedtuple") can now be updated: ``` Point = namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y']) Point.__doc__ += ': Cartesian coodinate' Point.x.__doc__ = 'abscissa' Point.y.__doc__ = 'ordinate' ``` (Contributed by Berker Peksag in [bpo-24064](https://bugs.python.org/issue24064) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue24064\].) The [`UserString`](../library/collections.xhtml#collections.UserString "collections.UserString") class now implements the [`__getnewargs__()`](../library/pickle.xhtml#object.__getnewargs__ "object.__getnewargs__"), [`__rmod__()`](../reference/datamodel.xhtml#object.__rmod__ "object.__rmod__"), [`casefold()`](../library/stdtypes.xhtml#str.casefold "str.casefold"), [`format_map()`](../library/stdtypes.xhtml#str.format_map "str.format_map"), [`isprintable()`](../library/stdtypes.xhtml#str.isprintable "str.isprintable"), and [`maketrans()`](../library/stdtypes.xhtml#str.maketrans "str.maketrans")methods to match the corresponding methods of [`str`](../library/stdtypes.xhtml#str "str").

(Contributed by Yury Selivanov in [bpo-24184](https://bugs.python.org/issue24184) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue24184\].) For earlier Python versions, a backport of the new ABCs is available in an external [PyPI package](https://pypi.org/project/backports_abc) \[https://pypi.org/project/backports\_abc\]. ### compileall A new [`compileall`](../library/compileall.xhtml#module-compileall "compileall: Tools for byte-compiling all Python source files in a directory tree.") option, `-j N`, allows running *N* workers simultaneously to perform parallel bytecode compilation. The [`compile_dir()`](../library/compileall.xhtml#compileall.compile_dir "compileall.compile_dir") function has a corresponding `workers`parameter. (Contributed by Claudiu Popa in [bpo-16104](https://bugs.python.org/issue16104) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue16104\].) Another new option, `-r`, allows controlling the maximum recursion level for subdirectories. (Contributed by Claudiu Popa in [bpo-19628](https://bugs.python.org/issue19628) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue19628\].) The `-q` command line option can now be specified more than once, in which case all output, including errors, will be suppressed. The corresponding `quiet` parameter in [`compile_dir()`](../library/compileall.xhtml#compileall.compile_dir "compileall.compile_dir"), [`compile_file()`](../library/compileall.xhtml#compileall.compile_file "compileall.compile_file"), and [`compile_path()`](../library/compileall.xhtml#compileall.compile_path "compileall.compile_path") can now accept an integer value indicating the level of output suppression.

(Contributed by Dan O'Reilly in [bpo-11271](https://bugs.python.org/issue11271) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue11271\].) The number of workers in the [`ThreadPoolExecutor`](../library/concurrent.futures.xhtml#concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor "concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor")constructor is optional now. The default value is 5 times the number of CPUs. (Contributed by Claudiu Popa in [bpo-21527](https://bugs.python.org/issue21527) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21527\].) ### configparser [`configparser`](../library/configparser.xhtml#module-configparser "configparser: Configuration file parser.") now provides a way to customize the conversion of values by specifying a dictionary of converters in the [`ConfigParser`](../library/configparser.xhtml#configparser.ConfigParser "configparser.ConfigParser") constructor, or by defining them as methods in `ConfigParser` subclasses. Converters defined in a parser instance are inherited by its section proxies. 示例: ``` >>> import configparser >>> conv = {} >>> conv['list'] = lambda v: [e.strip() for e in v.split() if e.strip()] >>> cfg = configparser.ConfigParser(converters=conv) >>> cfg.read_string(""" ... [s] ... list = a b c d e f g ...

(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in [bpo-23171](https://bugs.python.org/issue23171) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23171\].) ### curses The new [`update_lines_cols()`](../library/curses.xhtml#curses.update_lines_cols "curses.update_lines_cols") function updates the `LINES`and `COLS` environment variables. This is useful for detecting manual screen resizing. (Contributed by Arnon Yaari in [bpo-4254](https://bugs.python.org/issue4254) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue4254\].) ### dbm [`dumb.open`](../library/dbm.xhtml#dbm.dumb.open "dbm.dumb.open") always creates a new database when the flag has the value `"n"`. (Contributed by Claudiu Popa in [bpo-18039](https://bugs.python.org/issue18039) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue18039\].) ### difflib The charset of HTML documents generated by [`HtmlDiff.make_file()`](../library/difflib.xhtml#difflib.HtmlDiff.make_file "difflib.HtmlDiff.make_file")can now be customized by using a new *charset* keyword-only argument. The default charset of HTML document changed from `"ISO-8859-1"`to `"utf-8"`. (Contributed by Berker Peksag in [bpo-2052](https://bugs.python.org/issue2052) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue2052\].) The [`diff_bytes()`](../library/difflib.xhtml#difflib.diff_bytes "difflib.diff_bytes") function can now compare lists of byte strings. This fixes a regression from Python 2. (Contributed by Terry J. Reedy and Greg Ward in [bpo-17445](https://bugs.python.org/issue17445) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue17445\].) ### distutils Both the `build` and `build_ext` commands now accept a `-j` option to enable parallel building of extension modules. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in [bpo-5309](https://bugs.python.org/issue5309) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue5309\].) The [`distutils`](../library/distutils.xhtml#module-distutils "distutils: Support for building and installing Python modules into an existing Python installation.") module now supports `xz` compression, and can be enabled by passing `xztar` as an argument to `bdist --format`. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in [bpo-16314](https://bugs.python.org/issue16314) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue16314\].) ### doctest The [`DocTestSuite()`](../library/doctest.xhtml#doctest.DocTestSuite "doctest.DocTestSuite") function returns an empty [`unittest.TestSuite`](../library/unittest.xhtml#unittest.TestSuite "unittest.TestSuite") if *module* contains no docstrings, instead of raising [`ValueError`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#ValueError "ValueError"). (Contributed by Glenn Jones in [bpo-15916](https://bugs.python.org/issue15916) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue15916\].) ### email A new policy option [`Policy.mangle_from_`](../library/email.policy.xhtml#email.policy.Policy.mangle_from_ "email.policy.Policy.mangle_from_")controls whether or not lines that start with `"From "` in email bodies are prefixed with a `">"` character by generators. The default is `True` for [`compat32`](../library/email.policy.xhtml#email.policy.compat32 "email.policy.compat32") and `False` for all other policies. (Contributed by Milan Oberkirch in [bpo-20098](https://bugs.python.org/issue20098) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue20098\].) A new [`Message.get_content_disposition()`](../library/email.compat32-message.xhtml#email.message.Message.get_content_disposition "email.message.Message.get_content_disposition")method provides easy access to a canonical value for the *Content-Disposition* header. (Contributed by Abhilash Raj in [bpo-21083](https://bugs.python.org/issue21083) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21083\].) A new policy option [`EmailPolicy.utf8`](../library/email.policy.xhtml#email.policy.EmailPolicy.utf8 "email.policy.EmailPolicy.utf8")can be set to `True` to encode email headers using the UTF-8 charset instead of using encoded words. This allows `Messages` to be formatted according to [**RFC 6532**](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6532.html) \[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6532.html\] and used with an SMTP server that supports the [**RFC 6531**](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6531.html) \[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6531.html\]`SMTPUTF8` extension.

(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in [bpo-22437](https://bugs.python.org/issue22437) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue22437\].) The [`sub()`](../library/re.xhtml#re.sub "re.sub") and [`subn()`](../library/re.xhtml#re.subn "re.subn") functions now replace unmatched groups with empty strings instead of raising an exception. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in [bpo-1519638](https://bugs.python.org/issue1519638) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue1519638\].) The [`re.error`](../library/re.xhtml#re.error "re.error") exceptions have new attributes, [`msg`](../library/re.xhtml#re.error.msg "re.error.msg"), [`pattern`](../library/re.xhtml#re.error.pattern "re.error.pattern"), [`pos`](../library/re.xhtml#re.error.pos "re.error.pos"), [`lineno`](../library/re.xhtml#re.error.lineno "re.error.lineno"), and [`colno`](../library/re.xhtml#re.error.colno "re.error.colno"), that provide better context information about the error: ``` >>> re.compile(""" ...

(Contributed by Bruno Cauet in [bpo-22940](https://bugs.python.org/issue22940) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue22940\].) ### selectors The new [`DevpollSelector`](../library/selectors.xhtml#selectors.DevpollSelector "selectors.DevpollSelector") supports efficient `/dev/poll` polling on Solaris. (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodola' in [bpo-18931](https://bugs.python.org/issue18931) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue18931\].) ### shutil The [`move()`](../library/shutil.xhtml#shutil.move "shutil.move") function now accepts a *copy\_function* argument, allowing, for example, the [`copy()`](../library/shutil.xhtml#shutil.copy "shutil.copy") function to be used instead of the default [`copy2()`](../library/shutil.xhtml#shutil.copy2 "shutil.copy2") if there is a need to ignore file metadata when moving. (Contributed by Claudiu Popa in [bpo-19840](https://bugs.python.org/issue19840) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue19840\].) The [`make_archive()`](../library/shutil.xhtml#shutil.make_archive "shutil.make_archive") function now supports the *xztar* format. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in [bpo-5411](https://bugs.python.org/issue5411) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue5411\].) ### signal On Windows, the [`set_wakeup_fd()`](../library/signal.xhtml#signal.set_wakeup_fd "signal.set_wakeup_fd") function now also supports socket handles. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in [bpo-22018](https://bugs.python.org/issue22018) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue22018\].) Various `SIG*` constants in the [`signal`](../library/signal.xhtml#module-signal "signal: Set handlers for asynchronous events.") module have been converted into [`Enums`](../library/enum.xhtml#module-enum "enum: Implementation of an enumeration class."). This allows meaningful names to be printed during debugging, instead of integer "magic numbers". (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodola' in [bpo-21076](https://bugs.python.org/issue21076) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21076\].) ### smtpd Both the [`SMTPServer`](../library/smtpd.xhtml#smtpd.SMTPServer "smtpd.SMTPServer") and [`SMTPChannel`](../library/smtpd.xhtml#smtpd.SMTPChannel "smtpd.SMTPChannel") classes now accept a *decode\_data* keyword argument to determine if the `DATA` portion of the SMTP transaction is decoded using the `"utf-8"` codec or is instead provided to the [`SMTPServer.process_message()`](../library/smtpd.xhtml#smtpd.SMTPServer.process_message "smtpd.SMTPServer.process_message")method as a byte string. The default is `True` for backward compatibility reasons, but will change to `False` in Python 3.6. If *decode\_data* is set to `False`, the `process_message` method must be prepared to accept keyword arguments. (Contributed by Maciej Szulik in [bpo-19662](https://bugs.python.org/issue19662) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue19662\].) The [`SMTPServer`](../library/smtpd.xhtml#smtpd.SMTPServer "smtpd.SMTPServer") class now advertises the `8BITMIME` extension ([**RFC 6152**](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6152.html) \[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6152.html\]) if *decode\_data* has been set `True`. If the client specifies `BODY=8BITMIME` on the `MAIL` command, it is passed to [`SMTPServer.process_message()`](../library/smtpd.xhtml#smtpd.SMTPServer.process_message "smtpd.SMTPServer.process_message")via the *mail\_options* keyword. (Contributed by Milan Oberkirch and R. David Murray in [bpo-21795](https://bugs.python.org/issue21795) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21795\].) The [`SMTPServer`](../library/smtpd.xhtml#smtpd.SMTPServer "smtpd.SMTPServer") class now also supports the `SMTPUTF8`extension ([**RFC 6531**](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6531.html) \[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6531.html\]: Internationalized Email). If the client specified `SMTPUTF8 BODY=8BITMIME` on the `MAIL` command, they are passed to [`SMTPServer.process_message()`](../library/smtpd.xhtml#smtpd.SMTPServer.process_message "smtpd.SMTPServer.process_message")via the *mail\_options* keyword. It is the responsibility of the `process_message` method to correctly handle the `SMTPUTF8` data. (Contributed by Milan Oberkirch in [bpo-21725](https://bugs.python.org/issue21725) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21725\].) It is now possible to provide, directly or via name resolution, IPv6 addresses in the [`SMTPServer`](../library/smtpd.xhtml#smtpd.SMTPServer "smtpd.SMTPServer") constructor, and have it successfully connect.

Both the [`SMTP.sendmail()`](../library/smtplib.xhtml#smtplib.SMTP.sendmail "smtplib.SMTP.sendmail") and [`SMTP.send_message()`](../library/smtplib.xhtml#smtplib.SMTP.send_message "smtplib.SMTP.send_message") methods now support [**RFC 6531**](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6531.html) \[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6531.html\] (SMTPUTF8). (Contributed by Milan Oberkirch and R. David Murray in [bpo-22027](https://bugs.python.org/issue22027) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue22027\].) ### sndhdr The [`what()`](../library/sndhdr.xhtml#sndhdr.what "sndhdr.what") and [`whathdr()`](../library/sndhdr.xhtml#sndhdr.whathdr "sndhdr.whathdr") functions now return a [`namedtuple()`](../library/collections.xhtml#collections.namedtuple "collections.namedtuple"). (Contributed by Claudiu Popa in [bpo-18615](https://bugs.python.org/issue18615) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue18615\].) ### socket Functions with timeouts now use a monotonic clock, instead of a system clock. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in [bpo-22043](https://bugs.python.org/issue22043) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue22043\].) A new [`socket.sendfile()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.sendfile "socket.socket.sendfile") method allows sending a file over a socket by using the high-performance [`os.sendfile()`](../library/os.xhtml#os.sendfile "os.sendfile")function on UNIX, resulting in uploads being from 2 to 3 times faster than when using plain [`socket.send()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.send "socket.socket.send"). (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodola' in [bpo-17552](https://bugs.python.org/issue17552) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue17552\].) The [`socket.sendall()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.sendall "socket.socket.sendall") method no longer resets the socket timeout every time bytes are received or sent. The socket timeout is now the maximum total duration to send all data. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in [bpo-23853](https://bugs.python.org/issue23853) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23853\].) The *backlog* argument of the [`socket.listen()`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.socket.listen "socket.socket.listen")method is now optional. By default it is set to [`SOMAXCONN`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.SOMAXCONN "socket.SOMAXCONN") or to `128`, whichever is less. (Contributed by Charles-François Natali in [bpo-21455](https://bugs.python.org/issue21455) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21455\].) ### ssl #### Memory BIO Support (Contributed by Geert Jansen in [bpo-21965](https://bugs.python.org/issue21965) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21965\].) The new [`SSLObject`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLObject "ssl.SSLObject") class has been added to provide SSL protocol support for cases when the network I/O capabilities of [`SSLSocket`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLSocket "ssl.SSLSocket")are not necessary or are suboptimal. `SSLObject` represents an SSL protocol instance, but does not implement any network I/O methods, and instead provides a memory buffer interface. The new [`MemoryBIO`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.MemoryBIO "ssl.MemoryBIO")class can be used to pass data between Python and an SSL protocol instance. The memory BIO SSL support is primarily intended to be used in frameworks implementing asynchronous I/O for which [`SSLSocket`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLSocket "ssl.SSLSocket")'s readiness model ("select/poll") is inefficient. A new [`SSLContext.wrap_bio()`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLContext.wrap_bio "ssl.SSLContext.wrap_bio") method can be used to create a new `SSLObject` instance. #### Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation Support (Contributed by Benjamin Peterson in [bpo-20188](https://bugs.python.org/issue20188) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue20188\].) Where OpenSSL support is present, the [`ssl`](../library/ssl.xhtml#module-ssl "ssl: TLS/SSL wrapper for socket objects") module now implements the *Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation* TLS extension as described in [**RFC 7301**](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7301.html) \[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7301.html\]. The new [`SSLContext.set_alpn_protocols()`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLContext.set_alpn_protocols "ssl.SSLContext.set_alpn_protocols")can be used to specify which protocols a socket should advertise during the TLS handshake. The new [`SSLSocket.selected_alpn_protocol()`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLSocket.selected_alpn_protocol "ssl.SSLSocket.selected_alpn_protocol")returns the protocol that was selected during the TLS handshake. The [`HAS_ALPN`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.HAS_ALPN "ssl.HAS_ALPN") flag indicates whether ALPN support is present. #### Other Changes There is a new [`SSLSocket.version()`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLSocket.version "ssl.SSLSocket.version") method to query the actual protocol version in use. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in [bpo-20421](https://bugs.python.org/issue20421) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue20421\].) The [`SSLSocket`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLSocket "ssl.SSLSocket") class now implements a `SSLSocket.sendfile()` method. (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodola' in [bpo-17552](https://bugs.python.org/issue17552) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue17552\].) The `SSLSocket.send()` method now raises either the [`ssl.SSLWantReadError`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLWantReadError "ssl.SSLWantReadError") or [`ssl.SSLWantWriteError`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLWantWriteError "ssl.SSLWantWriteError") exception on a non-blocking socket if the operation would block. Previously, it would return `0`. (Contributed by Nikolaus Rath in [bpo-20951](https://bugs.python.org/issue20951) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue20951\].) The [`cert_time_to_seconds()`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.cert_time_to_seconds "ssl.cert_time_to_seconds") function now interprets the input time as UTC and not as local time, per [**RFC 5280**](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280.html) \[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280.html\]. Additionally, the return value is always an [`int`](../library/functions.xhtml#int "int"). (Contributed by Akira Li in [bpo-19940](https://bugs.python.org/issue19940) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue19940\].) New `SSLObject.shared_ciphers()` and [`SSLSocket.shared_ciphers()`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLSocket.shared_ciphers "ssl.SSLSocket.shared_ciphers") methods return the list of ciphers sent by the client during the handshake. (Contributed by Benjamin Peterson in [bpo-23186](https://bugs.python.org/issue23186) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23186\].) The [`SSLSocket.do_handshake()`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLSocket.do_handshake "ssl.SSLSocket.do_handshake"), [`SSLSocket.read()`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLSocket.read "ssl.SSLSocket.read"), `SSLSocket.shutdown()`, and [`SSLSocket.write()`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLSocket.write "ssl.SSLSocket.write") methods of the [`SSLSocket`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLSocket "ssl.SSLSocket")class no longer reset the socket timeout every time bytes are received or sent. The socket timeout is now the maximum total duration of the method. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in [bpo-23853](https://bugs.python.org/issue23853) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23853\].) The [`match_hostname()`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.match_hostname "ssl.match_hostname") function now supports matching of IP addresses. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in [bpo-23239](https://bugs.python.org/issue23239) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23239\].) ### sqlite3 The [`Row`](../library/sqlite3.xhtml#sqlite3.Row "sqlite3.Row") class now fully supports the sequence protocol, in particular [`reversed()`](../library/functions.xhtml#reversed "reversed") iteration and slice indexing.

It runs the specified command and returns a [`CompletedProcess`](../library/subprocess.xhtml#subprocess.CompletedProcess "subprocess.CompletedProcess") object, which describes a finished process. The new API is more consistent and is the recommended approach to invoking subprocesses in Python code that does not need to maintain compatibility with earlier Python versions. (Contributed by Thomas Kluyver in [bpo-23342](https://bugs.python.org/issue23342) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23342\].) 例如: ``` >>> subprocess.run(["ls", "-l"]) # doesn't capture output CompletedProcess(args=['ls', '-l'], returncode=0) >>> subprocess.run("exit 1", shell=True, check=True) Traceback (most recent call last): ... subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'exit 1' returned non-zero exit status 1 >>> subprocess.run(["ls", "-l", "/dev/null"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE) CompletedProcess(args=['ls', '-l', '/dev/null'], returncode=0, stdout=b'crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jan 23 16:23 /dev/null\n') ``` ### sys A new [`set_coroutine_wrapper()`](../library/sys.xhtml#sys.set_coroutine_wrapper "sys.set_coroutine_wrapper") function allows setting a global hook that will be called whenever a [coroutine object](../glossary.xhtml#term-coroutine)is created by an [`async def`](../reference/compound_stmts.xhtml#async-def) function. A corresponding [`get_coroutine_wrapper()`](../library/sys.xhtml#sys.get_coroutine_wrapper "sys.get_coroutine_wrapper") can be used to obtain a currently set wrapper. Both functions are [provisional](../glossary.xhtml#term-provisional-api), and are intended for debugging purposes only. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in [bpo-24017](https://bugs.python.org/issue24017) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue24017\].) A new [`is_finalizing()`](../library/sys.xhtml#sys.is_finalizing "sys.is_finalizing") function can be used to check if the Python interpreter is [shutting down](../glossary.xhtml#term-interpreter-shutdown). (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in [bpo-22696](https://bugs.python.org/issue22696) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue22696\].) ### sysconfig The name of the user scripts directory on Windows now includes the first two components of the Python version. (Contributed by Paul Moore in [bpo-23437](https://bugs.python.org/issue23437) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23437\].) ### tarfile The *mode* argument of the [`open()`](../library/tarfile.xhtml#tarfile.open "tarfile.open") function now accepts `"x"`to request exclusive creation. (Contributed by Berker Peksag in [bpo-21717](https://bugs.python.org/issue21717) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21717\].) The [`TarFile.extractall()`](../library/tarfile.xhtml#tarfile.TarFile.extractall "tarfile.TarFile.extractall") and [`TarFile.extract()`](../library/tarfile.xhtml#tarfile.TarFile.extract "tarfile.TarFile.extract") methods now take a keyword argument *numeric\_owner*. If set to `True`, the extracted files and directories will be owned by the numeric `uid` and `gid` from the tarfile. If set to `False` (the default, and the behavior in versions prior to 3.5), they will be owned by the named user and group in the tarfile. (Contributed by Michael Vogt and Eric Smith in [bpo-23193](https://bugs.python.org/issue23193) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23193\].) The [`TarFile.list()`](../library/tarfile.xhtml#tarfile.TarFile.list "tarfile.TarFile.list") now accepts an optional *members* keyword argument that can be set to a subset of the list returned by [`TarFile.getmembers()`](../library/tarfile.xhtml#tarfile.TarFile.getmembers "tarfile.TarFile.getmembers"). (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in [bpo-21549](https://bugs.python.org/issue21549) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21549\].) ### threading Both the [`Lock.acquire()`](../library/threading.xhtml#threading.Lock.acquire "threading.Lock.acquire") and [`RLock.acquire()`](../library/threading.xhtml#threading.RLock.acquire "threading.RLock.acquire") methods now use a monotonic clock for timeout management.

The [`PyTypeObject.tp_finalize`](../c-api/typeobj.xhtml#c.PyTypeObject.tp_finalize "PyTypeObject.tp_finalize") slot is now part of the stable ABI. Windows builds now require Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0, which is available as part of [Visual Studio 2015](https://www.visualstudio.com/) \[https://www.visualstudio.com/\]. Extension modules now include a platform information tag in their filename on some platforms (the tag is optional, and CPython will import extensions without it, although if the tag is present and mismatched, the extension won't be loaded): - On Linux, extension module filenames end with `.cpython-<major><minor>m-<architecture>-<os>.pyd`: - `<major>` is the major number of the Python version; for Python 3.5 this is `3`. - `<minor>` is the minor number of the Python version; for Python 3.5 this is `5`. - `<architecture>` is the hardware architecture the extension module was built to run on. It's most commonly either `i386` for 32-bit Intel platforms or `x86_64` for 64-bit Intel (and AMD) platforms. - `<os>` is always `linux-gnu`, except for extensions built to talk to the 32-bit ABI on 64-bit platforms, in which case it is `linux-gnu32` (and `<architecture>` will be `x86_64`). - On Windows, extension module filenames end with `<debug>.cp<major><minor>-<platform>.pyd`: - `<major>` is the major number of the Python version; for Python 3.5 this is `3`. - `<minor>` is the minor number of the Python version; for Python 3.5 this is `5`. - `<platform>` is the platform the extension module was built for, either `win32` for Win32, `win_amd64` for Win64, `win_ia64` for Windows Itanium 64, and `win_arm` for Windows on ARM. - If built in debug mode, `<debug>` will be `_d`, otherwise it will be blank. - On OS X platforms, extension module filenames now end with `-darwin.so`. - On all other platforms, extension module filenames are the same as they were with Python 3.4. ## 弃用 ### New Keywords `async` and `await` are not recommended to be used as variable, class, function or module names. Introduced by [**PEP 492**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492\] in Python 3.5, they will become proper keywords in Python 3.7. ### 已弃用的 Python 行为 Raising the [`StopIteration`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#StopIteration "StopIteration") exception inside a generator will now generate a silent [`PendingDeprecationWarning`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#PendingDeprecationWarning "PendingDeprecationWarning"), which will become a non-silent deprecation warning in Python 3.6 and will trigger a [`RuntimeError`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#RuntimeError "RuntimeError") in Python 3.7. See [PEP 479: Change StopIteration handling inside generators](#whatsnew-pep-479)for details. ### Unsupported Operating Systems Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, thus, per [**PEP 11**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011\], CPython 3.5 is no longer officially supported on this OS. ### 已弃用的 Python 模块、函数和方法 The [`formatter`](../library/formatter.xhtml#module-formatter "formatter: Generic output formatter and device interface. (已移除)") module has now graduated to full deprecation and is still slated for removal in Python 3.6. The `asyncio.async()` function is deprecated in favor of [`ensure_future()`](../library/asyncio-future.xhtml#asyncio.ensure_future "asyncio.ensure_future"). The [`smtpd`](../library/smtpd.xhtml#module-smtpd "smtpd: A SMTP server implementation in Python.") module has in the past always decoded the DATA portion of email messages using the `utf-8` codec. This can now be controlled by the new *decode\_data* keyword to [`SMTPServer`](../library/smtpd.xhtml#smtpd.SMTPServer "smtpd.SMTPServer"). The default value is `True`, but this default is deprecated. Specify the *decode\_data* keyword with an appropriate value to avoid the deprecation warning. Directly assigning values to the [`key`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel.key "http.cookies.Morsel.key"), [`value`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel.value "http.cookies.Morsel.value") and [`coded_value`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel.coded_value "http.cookies.Morsel.coded_value") of [`http.cookies.Morsel`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel "http.cookies.Morsel")objects is deprecated. Use the [`set()`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel.set "http.cookies.Morsel.set") method instead. In addition, the undocumented *LegalChars* parameter of [`set()`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel.set "http.cookies.Morsel.set") is deprecated, and is now ignored. Passing a format string as keyword argument *format\_string* to the [`format()`](../library/string.xhtml#string.Formatter.format "string.Formatter.format") method of the [`string.Formatter`](../library/string.xhtml#string.Formatter "string.Formatter")class has been deprecated.

The [`platform.dist()`](../library/platform.xhtml#platform.dist "platform.dist") and [`platform.linux_distribution()`](../library/platform.xhtml#platform.linux_distribution "platform.linux_distribution") functions are now deprecated. Linux distributions use too many different ways of describing themselves, so the functionality is left to a package. (Contributed by Vajrasky Kok and Berker Peksag in [bpo-1322](https://bugs.python.org/issue1322) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue1322\].) The previously undocumented `from_function` and `from_builtin` methods of [`inspect.Signature`](../library/inspect.xhtml#inspect.Signature "inspect.Signature") are deprecated.

[`getargvalues()`](../library/inspect.xhtml#inspect.getargvalues "inspect.getargvalues") and [`formatargvalues()`](../library/inspect.xhtml#inspect.formatargvalues "inspect.formatargvalues") functions were inadvertently marked as deprecated with the release of Python 3.5.0. Use of [`re.LOCALE`](../library/re.xhtml#re.LOCALE "re.LOCALE") flag with str patterns or [`re.ASCII`](../library/re.xhtml#re.ASCII "re.ASCII") is now deprecated. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in [bpo-22407](https://bugs.python.org/issue22407) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue22407\].)

The email code hasn't been shipped separately from the stdlib for a long time, and the `__version__` string was not updated in the last few releases. - The internal `Netrc` class in the [`ftplib`](../library/ftplib.xhtml#module-ftplib "ftplib: FTP protocol client (requires sockets).") module was deprecated in 3.4, and has now been removed. (Contributed by Matt Chaput in [bpo-6623](https://bugs.python.org/issue6623) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue6623\].) - The concept of `.pyo` files has been removed. - The JoinableQueue class in the provisional [`asyncio`](../library/asyncio.xhtml#module-asyncio "asyncio: Asynchronous I/O.") module was deprecated in 3.4.4 and is now removed.

Jesse Jiryu Davis in [bpo-23464](https://bugs.python.org/issue23464) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23464\].) ## Porting to Python 3.5 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. ### Changes in Python behavior - 由于一个疏忽,之前的 Python 版本会错误地接受以下语法: ``` f(1 for x in [1], *args) f(1 for x in [1], **kwargs) ``` Python 3.5 now correctly raises a [`SyntaxError`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#SyntaxError "SyntaxError"), as generator expressions must be put in parentheses if not a sole argument to a function. ### 改变了的Python API - [**PEP 475**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0475) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0475\]: System calls are now retried when interrupted by a signal instead of raising [`InterruptedError`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#InterruptedError "InterruptedError") if the Python signal handler does not raise an exception. - Before Python 3.5, a [`datetime.time`](../library/datetime.xhtml#datetime.time "datetime.time") object was considered to be false if it represented midnight in UTC. This behavior was considered obscure and error-prone and has been removed in Python 3.5. See [bpo-13936](https://bugs.python.org/issue13936) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue13936\] for full details. - The `ssl.SSLSocket.send()` method now raises either [`ssl.SSLWantReadError`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLWantReadError "ssl.SSLWantReadError") or [`ssl.SSLWantWriteError`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.SSLWantWriteError "ssl.SSLWantWriteError")on a non-blocking socket if the operation would block. Previously, it would return `0`. (Contributed by Nikolaus Rath in [bpo-20951](https://bugs.python.org/issue20951) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue20951\].) - The `__name__` attribute of generators is now set from the function name, instead of being set from the code name. Use `gen.gi_code.co_name` to retrieve the code name. Generators also have a new `__qualname__`attribute, the qualified name, which is now used for the representation of a generator (`repr(gen)`). (Contributed by Victor Stinner in [bpo-21205](https://bugs.python.org/issue21205) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21205\].) - The deprecated "strict" mode and argument of [`HTMLParser`](../library/html.parser.xhtml#html.parser.HTMLParser "html.parser.HTMLParser"), `HTMLParser.error()`, and the `HTMLParserError` exception have been removed. (Contributed by Ezio Melotti in [bpo-15114](https://bugs.python.org/issue15114) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue15114\].) The *convert\_charrefs* argument of [`HTMLParser`](../library/html.parser.xhtml#html.parser.HTMLParser "html.parser.HTMLParser") is now `True` by default. (Contributed by Berker Peksag in [bpo-21047](https://bugs.python.org/issue21047) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21047\].) - Although it is not formally part of the API, it is worth noting for porting purposes (ie: fixing tests) that error messages that were previously of the form "'sometype' does not support the buffer protocol" are now of the form "a [bytes-like object](../glossary.xhtml#term-bytes-like-object) is required, not 'sometype'". (Contributed by Ezio Melotti in [bpo-16518](https://bugs.python.org/issue16518) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue16518\].) - If the current directory is set to a directory that no longer exists then [`FileNotFoundError`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#FileNotFoundError "FileNotFoundError") will no longer be raised and instead [`find_spec()`](../library/importlib.xhtml#importlib.machinery.FileFinder.find_spec "importlib.machinery.FileFinder.find_spec") will return `None`**without** caching `None` in [`sys.path_importer_cache`](../library/sys.xhtml#sys.path_importer_cache "sys.path_importer_cache"), which is different than the typical case ([bpo-22834](https://bugs.python.org/issue22834) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue22834\]). - HTTP status code and messages from [`http.client`](../library/http.client.xhtml#module-http.client "http.client: HTTP and HTTPS protocol client (requires sockets).") and [`http.server`](../library/http.server.xhtml#module-http.server "http.server: HTTP server and request handlers.")were refactored into a common [`HTTPStatus`](../library/http.xhtml#http.HTTPStatus "http.HTTPStatus") enum. The values in [`http.client`](../library/http.client.xhtml#module-http.client "http.client: HTTP and HTTPS protocol client (requires sockets).") and [`http.server`](../library/http.server.xhtml#module-http.server "http.server: HTTP server and request handlers.") remain available for backwards compatibility. (Contributed by Demian Brecht in [bpo-21793](https://bugs.python.org/issue21793) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue21793\].) - When an import loader defines `importlib.machinery.Loader.exec_module()`it is now expected to also define `create_module()` (raises a [`DeprecationWarning`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#DeprecationWarning "DeprecationWarning") now, will be an error in Python 3.6). If the loader inherits from [`importlib.abc.Loader`](../library/importlib.xhtml#importlib.abc.Loader "importlib.abc.Loader") then there is nothing to do, else simply define `create_module()` to return `None`. (Contributed by Brett Cannon in [bpo-23014](https://bugs.python.org/issue23014) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23014\].) - The [`re.split()`](../library/re.xhtml#re.split "re.split") function always ignored empty pattern matches, so the `"x*"` pattern worked the same as `"x+"`, and the `"\b"` pattern never worked. Now [`re.split()`](../library/re.xhtml#re.split "re.split") raises a warning if the pattern could match an empty string. For compatibility, use patterns that never match an empty string (e.g. `"x+"` instead of `"x*"`). Patterns that could only match an empty string (such as `"\b"`) now raise an error. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in [bpo-22818](https://bugs.python.org/issue22818) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue22818\].) - The [`http.cookies.Morsel`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel "http.cookies.Morsel") dict-like interface has been made self consistent: morsel comparison now takes the [`key`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel.key "http.cookies.Morsel.key")and [`value`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel.value "http.cookies.Morsel.value") into account, [`copy()`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel.copy "http.cookies.Morsel.copy") now results in a [`Morsel`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel "http.cookies.Morsel") instance rather than a [`dict`](../library/stdtypes.xhtml#dict "dict"), and [`update()`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel.update "http.cookies.Morsel.update") will now raise an exception if any of the keys in the update dictionary are invalid. In addition, the undocumented *LegalChars* parameter of [`set()`](../library/http.cookies.xhtml#http.cookies.Morsel.set "http.cookies.Morsel.set") is deprecated and is now ignored. (Contributed by Demian Brecht in [bpo-2211](https://bugs.python.org/issue2211) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue2211\].) - [**PEP 488**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0488) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0488\] has removed `.pyo` files from Python and introduced the optional `opt-` tag in `.pyc` file names. The [`importlib.util.cache_from_source()`](../library/importlib.xhtml#importlib.util.cache_from_source "importlib.util.cache_from_source") has gained an *optimization*parameter to help control the `opt-` tag. Because of this, the *debug\_override* parameter of the function is now deprecated. .pyo files are also no longer supported as a file argument to the Python interpreter and thus serve no purpose when distributed on their own (i.e. sourceless code distribution). Due to the fact that the magic number for bytecode has changed in Python 3.5, all old .pyo files from previous versions of Python are invalid regardless of this PEP. - The [`socket`](../library/socket.xhtml#module-socket "socket: Low-level networking interface.") module now exports the [`CAN_RAW_FD_FRAMES`](../library/socket.xhtml#socket.CAN_RAW_FD_FRAMES "socket.CAN_RAW_FD_FRAMES")constant on linux 3.6 and greater. - The [`ssl.cert_time_to_seconds()`](../library/ssl.xhtml#ssl.cert_time_to_seconds "ssl.cert_time_to_seconds") function now interprets the input time as UTC and not as local time, per [**RFC 5280**](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280.html) \[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280.html\]. Additionally, the return value is always an [`int`](../library/functions.xhtml#int "int"). (Contributed by Akira Li in [bpo-19940](https://bugs.python.org/issue19940) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue19940\].) - The `pygettext.py` Tool now uses the standard +NNNN format for timezones in the POT-Creation-Date header. - The [`smtplib`](../library/smtplib.xhtml#module-smtplib "smtplib: SMTP protocol client (requires sockets).") module now uses [`sys.stderr`](../library/sys.xhtml#sys.stderr "sys.stderr") instead of the previous module-level `stderr` variable for debug output. If your (test) program depends on patching the module-level variable to capture the debug output, you will need to update it to capture sys.stderr instead. - The [`str.startswith()`](../library/stdtypes.xhtml#str.startswith "str.startswith") and [`str.endswith()`](../library/stdtypes.xhtml#str.endswith "str.endswith") methods no longer return `True` when finding the empty string and the indexes are completely out of range. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in [bpo-24284](https://bugs.python.org/issue24284) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue24284\].) - The [`inspect.getdoc()`](../library/inspect.xhtml#inspect.getdoc "inspect.getdoc") function now returns documentation strings inherited from base classes. Documentation strings no longer need to be duplicated if the inherited documentation is appropriate. To suppress an inherited string, an empty string must be specified (or the documentation may be filled in). This change affects the output of the [`pydoc`](../library/pydoc.xhtml#module-pydoc "pydoc: Documentation generator and online help system.")module and the [`help()`](../library/functions.xhtml#help "help") function. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in [bpo-15582](https://bugs.python.org/issue15582) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue15582\].) - Nested [`functools.partial()`](../library/functools.xhtml#functools.partial "functools.partial") calls are now flattened. If you were relying on the previous behavior, you can now either add an attribute to a [`functools.partial()`](../library/functools.xhtml#functools.partial "functools.partial") object or you can create a subclass of [`functools.partial()`](../library/functools.xhtml#functools.partial "functools.partial"). (Contributed by Alexander Belopolsky in [bpo-7830](https://bugs.python.org/issue7830) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue7830\].) ### C API 中的改变 - The undocumented `format` member of the (non-public) `PyMemoryViewObject` structure has been removed. All extensions relying on the relevant parts in `memoryobject.h`must be rebuilt. - The `PyMemAllocator` structure was renamed to [`PyMemAllocatorEx`](../c-api/memory.xhtml#c.PyMemAllocatorEx "PyMemAllocatorEx") and a new `calloc` field was added. - Removed non-documented macro `PyObject_REPR` which leaked references. Use format character `%R` in [`PyUnicode_FromFormat()`](../c-api/unicode.xhtml#c.PyUnicode_FromFormat "PyUnicode_FromFormat")-like functions to format the [`repr()`](../library/functions.xhtml#repr "repr") of the object. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in [bpo-22453](https://bugs.python.org/issue22453) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue22453\].) - Because the lack of the `__module__` attribute breaks pickling and introspection, a deprecation warning is now raised for builtin types without the `__module__` attribute. This would be an AttributeError in the future. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in [bpo-20204](https://bugs.python.org/issue20204) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue20204\].) - As part of the [**PEP 492**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492) \[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492\] implementation, the `tp_reserved` slot of [`PyTypeObject`](../c-api/type.xhtml#c.PyTypeObject "PyTypeObject") was replaced with a [`tp_as_async`](../c-api/typeobj.xhtml#c.tp_as_async "tp_as_async") slot. Refer to [协程对象](../c-api/coro.xhtml#coro-objects) for new types, structures and functions. ## Notable changes in Python 3.5.4 ### New `make regen-all` build target To simplify cross-compilation, and to ensure that CPython can reliably be compiled without requiring an existing version of Python to already be available, the autotools-based build system no longer attempts to implicitly recompile generated files based on file modification times. Instead, a new `make regen-all` command has been added to force regeneration of these files when desired (e.g. after an initial version of Python has already been built based on the pregenerated versions). More selective regeneration targets are also defined - see [Makefile.pre.in](https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.7/Makefile.pre.in) \[https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.7/Makefile.pre.in\] for details. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in [bpo-23404](https://bugs.python.org/issue23404) \[https://bugs.python.org/issue23404\].) 3\.5.4 新版功能. ### Removal of `make touch` build target The `make touch` build target previously used to request implicit regeneration of generated files by updating their modification times has been removed. It has been replaced by the new `make regen-all` target.
