bpo-39082 : Allow AsyncMock to correctly patch static/class methods

bpo-39430 : Fixed race condition in lazy imports in tarfile.

bpo-39152 : Fix ttk.Scale.configure([name]) to return configuration tuple for name or all options. Giovanni Lombardo contributed part of the patch.

bpo-39198 : If an exception were to be thrown in Logger.isEnabledFor (say, by asyncio timeouts or stopit) , the logging global lock may not be released appropriately, resulting in deadlock. This change wraps that block of code with try...finally to ensure the lock is released.

bpo-39191 : Perform a check for running loop before starting a new task in loop.run_until_complete() to fail fast; it prevents the side effect of new task spawning before exception raising.

bpo-38871 : Correctly parenthesize filter-based statements that contain lambda expressions in mod:lib2to3. Patch by Dong-hee Na.

bpo-39142 : A change was made to logging.config.dictConfig to avoid converting instances of named tuples to ConvertingTuple. It’s assumed that named tuples are too specialised to be treated like ordinary tuples; if a user of named tuples requires ConvertingTuple functionality, they will have to implement that themselves in their named tuple class.

bpo-39129 : Fix import path for asyncio.TimeoutError

bpo-39057 : urllib.request.proxy_bypass_environment() now ignores leading dots and no longer ignores a trailing newline.

bpo-38546 : Fix test_ressources_gced_in_workers() of test_concurrent_futures: explicitly stop the manager to prevent leaking a child process running in the background after the test completes.

bpo-39144 : The ctags and etags build targets both include Modules/_ctypes and Python standard library source files.

bpo-39439 : Honor the Python path when a virtualenv is active on Windows.

bpo-39393 : Improve the error message when attempting to load a DLL with unresolved dependencies.

bpo-38883 : home() and expanduser() on Windows now prefer USERPROFILE and no longer use HOME, which is not normally set for regular user accounts. This makes them again behave like os.path.expanduser(), which was changed to ignore HOME in 3.8, see bpo-36264 .

bpo-39185 : The build.bat script has additional options for very-quiet output (-q) and very-verbose output (-vv)

bpo-30780 : Add remaining configdialog tests for buttons and highlights and keys tabs.

bpo-39388 : IDLE Settings Cancel button now cancels pending changes

bpo-38792 : Close an IDLE shell calltip if a KeyboardInterrupt or shell restart occurs. Patch by Zackery Spytz.

bpo-32989 : Add tests for editor newline_and_indent_event method. Remove dead code from pyparse find_good_parse_start method.

bpo-39080 : Fix the value of end_col_offset for Starred Expression AST nodes when they are among the elements in the args attribute of Call AST nodes.

bpo-39031 : When parsing an “elif” node, lineno and col_offset of the node now point to the “elif” keyword and not to its condition, making it consistent with the “if” node. Patch by Lysandros Nikolaou.

bpo-39008 : PySys_Audit() now requires Py_ssize_t to be used for size arguments in the format string, regardless of whether PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN was defined at include time.

bpo-39022 : Update importlib.metadata to include improvements from importlib_metadata 1.3 including better serialization of EntryPoints and improved documentation for custom finders.

bpo-38295 : Prevent failure of test_relative_path in test_py_compile on macOS Catalina.

bpo-38944 : Escape key now closes IDLE completion windows. Patch by Johnny Najera.

bpo-38943 : Fix IDLE autocomplete windows not always appearing on some systems. Patch by Johnny Najera.

bpo-38945 : Newline characters have been escaped when performing uu encoding to prevent them from overflowing into to content section of the encoded file. This prevents malicious or accidental modification of data during the decoding process.

bpo-37228 : Due to significant security concerns, the reuse_address parameter of asyncio.loop.create_datagram_endpoint() is no longer supported. This is because of the behavior of SO_REUSEADDR in UDP. For more details, see the documentation for loop.create_datagram_endpoint(). (Contributed by Kyle Stanley, Antoine Pitrou, and Yury Selivanov in bpo-37228 .)

bpo-38722 : runpy now uses io.open_code() to open code files. Patch by Jason Killen.

bpo-38668 : Calling func:shutil.copytree to copy a directory tree from one directory to another subdirectory resulted in an endless loop and a RecursionError. A fix was added to consume an iterator and create the list of the entries to be copied, avoiding the recursion for newly created directories. Patch by Bruno P. Kinoshita.

bpo-37838 : typing.get_type_hints() properly handles functions decorated with functools.wraps().

bpo-38859 : AsyncMock now returns StopAsyncIteration on the exaustion of a side_effects iterable. Since PEP-479 its Impossible to raise a StopIteration exception from a coroutine.

bpo-38857 : AsyncMock fix for return values that are awaitable types. This also covers side_effect iterable values that happend to be awaitable, and wraps callables that return an awaitable type. Before these awaitables were being awaited instead of being returned as is.

bpo-38821 : Fix unhandled exceptions in argparse when internationalizing error messages for arguments with nargs set to special (non-integer) values. Patch by Federico Bond.

bpo-38820 : Make Python compatible with OpenSSL 3.0.0. ssl.SSLSocket.getpeercert() no longer returns IPv6 addresses with a trailing new line.

bpo-38521 : Fixed erroneous equality comparison in statistics.NormalDist().

bpo-38478 : Fixed a bug in inspect.signature.bind() that was causing it to fail when handling a keyword argument with same name as positional-only parameter. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

bpo-33604 : Fixed hmac.new and hmac.HMAC to raise TypeError instead of ValueError when the digestmod parameter, now required in 3.8, is omitted. Also clarified the hmac module documentation and docstrings.

bpo-38422 : Clarify docstrings of pathlib suffix(es)

bpo-36993 : Improve error reporting for corrupt zip files with bad zip64 extra data. Patch by Daniel Hillier.

bpo-36820 : Break cycle generated when saving an exception in socket.py, codeop.py and dyld.py as they keep alive not only the exception but user objects through the __traceback__ attribute. Patch by Mario Corchero.

bpo-38992 : Fix a test for math.fsum() that was failing due to constant folding.

bpo-38965 : Fix test_faulthandler on GCC 10. Use the “volatile” keyword in faulthandler._stack_overflow() to prevent tail call optimization on any compiler, rather than relying on compiler specific pragma.

bpo-38875 : test_capi: trashcan tests now require the test “cpu” resource.

bpo-38841 : Skip asyncio test_create_datagram_endpoint_existing_sock_unix on platforms lacking a functional bind() for named unix domain sockets.

bpo-38669 : Raise TypeError when passing target as a string with unittest.mock.patch.object().

bpo-35998 : Fix a race condition in test_asyncio.test_start_tls_server_1(). Previously, there was a race condition between the test main() function which replaces the protocol and the test ServerProto protocol which sends ANSWER once it gets HELLO. Now, only the test main() function is responsible to send data, ServerProto no longer sends data.

bpo-38469 : Fixed a bug where the scope of named expressions was not being resolved correctly in the presence of the global keyword. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

bpo-38379 : When cyclic garbage collection (gc) runs finalizers that resurrect unreachable objects, the current gc run ends, without collecting any cyclic trash. However, the statistics reported by collect() and get_stats() claimed that all cyclic trash found was collected, and that the resurrected objects were collected. Changed the stats to report that none were collected.

bpo-38449 : Revert GH-15522, which introduces a regression in mimetypes.guess_type() due to improper handling of filenames as urls.

bpo-38431 : Fix __repr__ method for dataclasses.InitVar to support typing objects, patch by Samuel Colvin.

bpo-38405 : Nested subclasses of typing.NamedTuple are now pickleable.

bpo-38332 : Prevent KeyError thrown by _encoded_words.decode() when given an encoded-word with invalid content-type encoding from propagating all the way to email.message.get().

bpo-38341 : Add smtplib.SMTPNotSupportedError to the smtplib exported names.

bpo-13153 : OS native encoding is now used for converting between Python strings and Tcl objects. This allows to display, copy and paste to clipboard emoji and other non-BMP characters. Converting strings from Tcl to Python and back now never fails (except MemoryError).

bpo-38294 : Add list of no-longer-escaped chars to re.escape documentation.

bpo-37531 : On timeout, regrtest no longer attempts to call popen.communicate() again: it can hang until all child processes using stdout and stderr pipes completes.

bpo-38344 : Fix error message in activate.bat.

bpo-38359 : Ensures pyw.exe launcher reads correct registry key.

bpo-38355 : Fixes ntpath.realpath failing on sys.executable.

bpo-38006 : Fix a bug due to the interaction of weakrefs and the cyclic garbage collector. We must clear any weakrefs in garbage in order to prevent their callbacks from executing and causing a crash.

bpo-38317 : Fix warnings options priority: PyConfig.warnoptions has the highest priority, as stated in the PEP 587 .

bpo-36871 : Improve error handling for the assert_has_calls and assert_has_awaits methods of mocks. Fixed a bug where any errors encountered while binding the expected calls to the mock’s spec were silently swallowed, leading to misleading error output.

bpo-38236 : Python now dumps path configuration if it fails to import the Python codecs of the filesystem and stdio encodings.

bpo-38013 : Allow to call async_generator_athrow().throw(...) even for non-started async generator helper. It fixes annoying warning at the end of asyncio.run() call.

bpo-37966 : The implementation of is_normalized() has been greatly sped up on strings that aren’t normalized, by implementing the full normalization-quick-check algorithm from the Unicode standard.

bpo-20490 : Improve import error message for partially initialized module on circular from imports - by Anthony Sottile.

bpo-37409 : Ensure explicit relative imports from interactive sessions and scripts (having no parent package) always raise ImportError, rather than treating the current module as the package. Patch by Ben Lewis.

bpo-37619 : When adding a wrapper descriptor from one class to a different class (for example, setting __add__ = str.__add__ on an int subclass), an exception is correctly raised when the operator is called.

bpo-30773 : Prohibit parallel running of aclose() / asend() / athrow(). Fix ag_running to reflect the actual running status of the AG.

bpo-38319 : sendfile() used in socket and shutil modules was raising OverflowError for files >= 2GiB on 32-bit architectures. (patch by Giampaolo Rodola)

bpo-38242 : Revert the new asyncio Streams API

bpo-38019 : Correctly handle pause/resume reading of closed asyncio unix pipe.

bpo-38161 : Removes _AwaitEvent from AsyncMock.

bpo-38216 : Allow the rare code that wants to send invalid http requests from the http.client library a way to do so. The fixes for bpo-30458 led to breakage for some projects that were relying on this ability to test their own behavior in the face of bad requests.

bpo-38108 : Any synchronous magic methods on an AsyncMock now return a MagicMock. Any asynchronous magic methods on a MagicMock now return an AsyncMock.

bpo-38191 : Constructors of NamedTuple and TypedDict types now accept arbitrary keyword argument names, including “cls”, “self”, “typename”, “_typename”, “fields” and “_fields”. Passing positional arguments by keyword is deprecated.

bpo-38185 : Fixed case-insensitive string comparison in sqlite3.Row indexing.

bpo-38136 : Changes AsyncMock call count and await count to be two different counters. Now await count only counts when a coroutine has been awaited, not when it has been called, and vice-versa. Update the documentation around this.

bpo-37828 : Fix default mock name in unittest.mock.Mock.assert_called() exceptions. Patch by Abraham Toriz Cruz.

bpo-38175 : Fix a memory leak in comparison of sqlite3.Row objects.

bpo-34706 : Preserve subclassing in inspect.Signature.from_callable.

bpo-38153 : Names of hashing algorithms frome OpenSSL are now normalized to follow Python’s naming conventions. For example OpenSSL uses sha3-512 instead of sha3_512 or blake2b512 instead of blake2b.

bpo-38115 : Fix a bug in dis.findlinestarts() where it would return invalid bytecode offsets. Document that a code object’s co_lnotab can contain invalid bytecode offsets.

bpo-36991 : Fixes a potential incorrect AttributeError exception escaping ZipFile.extract() in some unsupported input error situations.

bpo-38134 : Remove obsolete copy of PBKDF2_HMAC_fast. All supported OpenSSL versions contain a fast implementation.

bpo-38132 : The OpenSSL hashlib wrapper uses a simpler implementation. Several Macros and pointless caches are gone. The hash name now comes from OpenSSL’s EVP. The algorithm name stays the same, except it is now always lower case.

bpo-38008 : Fix parent class check in protocols to correctly identify the module that provides a builtin protocol, instead of assuming they all come from the collections.abc module

bpo-37405 : Fixed regression bug for socket.getsockname() for non-CAN_ISOTP AF_CAN address family sockets by returning a 1-tuple instead of string.

bpo-38006 : weakref.WeakValueDictionary defines a local remove() function used as callback for weak references. This function was created with a closure. Modify the implementation to avoid the closure.

bpo-34410 : Fixed a crash in the tee() iterator when re-enter it. RuntimeError is now raised in this case.

bpo-37140 : Fix a ctypes regression of Python 3.8. When a ctypes.Structure is passed by copy to a function, ctypes internals created a temporary object which had the side effect of calling the structure finalizer (__del__) twice. The Python semantics requires a finalizer to be called exactly once. Fix ctypes internals to no longer call the finalizer twice.

bpo-37972 : Subscripts to the unittest.mock.call objects now receive the same chaining mechanism as any other custom attributes, so that the following usage no longer raises a TypeError:

call().foo().__getitem__(‘bar’)

Patch by blhsing

bpo-37212 : unittest.mock.call() now preserves the order of keyword arguments in repr output. Patch by Karthikeyan Singaravelan.

bpo-37305 : Add .webmanifest -> application/manifest+json to list of recognized file types and content type headers

bpo-31163 : pathlib.Path instance’s rename and replace methods now return the new Path instance.

bpo-25068 : urllib.request.ProxyHandler now lowercases the keys of the passed dictionary.

bpo-21315 : Email headers containing RFC2047 encoded words are parsed despite the missing whitespace, and a defect registered. Also missing trailing whitespace after encoded words is now registered as a defect.

bpo-36250 : Ignore ValueError from signal with interaction in non-main thread.

bpo-35168 : shlex.shlex.punctuation_chars is now a read-only property.

bpo-20504 : Fixes a bug in cgi module when a multipart/form-data request has no Content-Length header.

bpo-37977 : Warn more strongly and clearly about pickle insecurity

bpo-37937 : Mention frame.f_trace in sys.settrace() docs.

bpo-36260 : Add decompression pitfalls to zipfile module documentation.

bpo-36960 : Restructured the datetime docs in the interest of making them more user-friendly and improving readability. Patch by Brad Solomon.

bpo-23460 : The documentation for decimal string formatting using the :g specifier has been updated to reflect the correct exponential notation cutoff point. Original patch contributed by Tuomas Suutari.

bpo-33944 : Added a note about the intended use of code in .pth files.

bpo-34293 : Fix the Doc/Makefile regarding PAPER environment variable and PDF builds

bpo-38239 : Fix test_gdb for Link Time Optimization (LTO) builds.

bpo-38275 : test_ssl now handles disabled TLS/SSL versions better. OpenSSL’s crypto policy and run-time settings are recognized and tests for disabled versions are skipped. Tests also accept more TLS minimum_versions for platforms that override OpenSSL’s default with strict settings.

bpo-38271 : The private keys for test_ssl were encrypted with 3DES in traditional PKCS#5 format. 3DES and the digest algorithm of PKCS#5 are blocked by some strict crypto policies. Use PKCS#8 format with AES256 encryption instead.

bpo-38270 : test.support now has a helper function to check for availibility of a hash digest function. Several tests are refactored avoid MD5 and use SHA256 instead. Other tests are marked to use MD5 and skipped when MD5 is disabled.

bpo-37123 : Multiprocessing test test_mymanager() now also expects -SIGTERM, not only exitcode 0. BaseManager._finalize_manager() sends SIGTERM to the manager process if it takes longer than 1 second to stop, which happens on slow buildbots.

bpo-38212 : Multiprocessing tests: increase test_queue_feeder_donot_stop_onexc() timeout from 1 to 60 seconds.

bpo-38117 : Test with OpenSSL 1.1.1d

bpo-37531 : Enhance regrtest multiprocess timeout: write a message when killing a worker process, catch popen.kill() and popen.wait() exceptions, put a timeout on the second call to popen.communicate().

bpo-37876 : Add tests for ROT-13 codec.

bpo-37252 : Fix assertions in test_close and test_events_mask_overflow devpoll tests.

bpo-34001 : Make test_ssl pass with LibreSSL. LibreSSL handles minimum and maximum TLS version differently than OpenSSL.

bpo-36919 : Make test_source_encoding.test_issue2301 implementation independent. The test will work now for both CPython and IronPython.

bpo-34596 : Fallback to a default reason when unittest.skip() is uncalled. Patch by Naitree Zhu.

bpo-38301 : In Solaris family, we must be sure to use -D_REENTRANT. Patch by Jesús Cea Avión.

bpo-36210 : Update optional extension module detection for AIX. ossaudiodev and spwd are not applicable for AIX, and are no longer reported as missing. 3rd-party packaging of ncurses (with ASIS support) conflicts with officially supported AIX curses library, so configure AIX to use libcurses.a. However, skip trying to build _curses_panel.

patch by M Felt

bpo-36002 : Locate llvm-profdata and llvm-ar binaries using AC_PATH_TOOL rather than AC_PATH_TARGET_TOOL.

bpo-37936 : The .gitignore file systematically keeps “rooted”, with a non-trailing slash, all the rules that are meant to apply to files in a specific place in the repo. Previously, when the intended file to ignore happened to be at the root of the repo, we’d most often accidentally also ignore files and directories with the same name anywhere in the tree.

bpo-37936 : The .gitignore file no longer applies to any files that are in fact tracked in the Git repository. Patch by Greg Price.

bpo-38117 : Update bundled OpenSSL to 1.1.1d

bpo-38092 : Reduce overhead when using multiprocessing in a Windows virtual environment.

bpo-38133 : Allow py.exe launcher to locate installations from the Microsoft Store and improve display of active virtual environments.

bpo-38114 : The pip.ini is no longer included in the Nuget package.

bpo-36634 : os.cpu_count() now returns active processors rather than maximum processors.

bpo-36634 : venv activate.bat now works when the existing variables contain double quote characters.

bpo-38081 : Prevent error calling os.path.realpath() on 'NUL'.

bpo-38087 : Fix case sensitivity in test_pathlib and test_ntpath.

bpo-38088 : Fixes distutils not finding vcruntime140.dll with only the v142 toolset installed.

bpo-37283 : Ensure command-line and unattend.xml setting override previously detected states in Windows installer.

bpo-38030 : Fixes os.stat() failing for block devices on Windows

bpo-38020 : Fixes potential crash when calling os.readlink() (or indirectly through realpath()) on a file that is not a supported link.

bpo-37705 : Improve the implementation of winerror_to_errno().

bpo-37702 : Fix memory leak on Windows in creating an SSLContext object or running urllib.request.urlopen(‘https:// …’).

bpo-37445 : Include the FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS flag in FormatMessageW() calls.

bpo-37380 : Don’t collect unfinished processes with subprocess._active on Windows to cleanup later. Patch by Ruslan Kuprieiev.

bpo-32587 : Make winreg.REG_MULTI_SZ support zero-length strings.

bpo-38117 : Updated OpenSSL to 1.1.1d in macOS installer.

bpo-38089 : Move Azure Pipelines to latest VM versions and make macOS tests optional

bpo-35379 : When exiting IDLE, catch any AttributeError. One happens when EditorWindow.close is called twice. Printing a traceback, when IDLE is run from a terminal, is useless and annoying.

bpo-38183 : To avoid problems, test_idle ignores the user config directory. It no longer tries to create or access .idlerc or any files within. Users must run IDLE to discover problems with saving settings.

bpo-38077 : IDLE no longer adds ‘argv’ to the user namespace when initializing it. This bug only affected 3.7.4 and 3.8.0b2 to 3.8.0b4.

bpo-38041 : Shell restart lines now fill the window width, always start with ‘=’, and avoid wrapping unnecessarily. The line will still wrap if the included file name is long relative to the width.

bpo-35771 : To avoid occasional spurious test_idle failures on slower machines, increase the hover_delay in test_tooltip.

bpo-37902 : Add mousewheel scrolling for IDLE module, path, and stack browsers. Patch by George Zhang.

bpo-37803 : pdb’s --help and --version long options now work.

bpo-37064 : Add option -k to pathscript.py script: preserve shebang fla
