The source can be any + of the following: + + * The name of a directory, or a :class:`pathlib.Path` object referring + to a directory, in which case a new application archive will be + created from the content of that directory. + * The name of an existing application archive file, or a :class:`pathlib.Path` + object referring to such a file, in which case the file is copied to + the target (modifying it to reflect the value given for the *interpreter* + argument). The file name should include the ``.pyz`` extension, if required. + * A file object open for reading in bytes mode. The content of the + file should be an application archive, and the file object is + assumed to be positioned at the start of the archive. + + The *target* argument determines where the resulting archive will be + written: + + * If it is the name of a file, or a :class:`pathlb.Path` object, + the archive will be written to that file. + * If it is an open file object, the archive will be written to that + file object, which must be open for writing in bytes mode. + * If the target is omitted (or None), the source must be a directory + and the target will be a file with the same name as the source, with + a ``.pyz`` extension added. + + The *interpreter* argument specifies the name of the Python + interpreter with which the archive will be executed. It is written as + a "shebang" line at the start of the archive. On POSIX, this will be + interpreted by the OS, and on Windows it will be handled by the Python + launcher. Omitting the *interpreter* results in no shebang line being + written. If an interpreter is specified, and the target is a + filename, the executable bit of the target file will be set. + + The *main* argument specifies the name of a callable which will be + used as the main program for the archive. It can only be specified if + the source is a directory, and the source does not already contain a + ``__main__.py`` file. The *main* argument should take the form + "pkg.module:callable" and the archive will be run by importing + "pkg.module" and executing the given callable with no arguments. It + is an error to omit *main* if the source is a directory and does not + contain a ``__main__.py`` file, as otherwise the resulting archive + would not be executable. + + If a file object is specified for *source* or *target*, it is the + caller's responsibility to close it after calling create_archive. + + When copying an existing archive, file objects supplied only need + ``read`` and ``readline``, or ``write`` methods.

The Python +launcher for Windows supports most common forms of POSIX ``#!`` line, but there +are other issues to consider: + +* If you use "/usr/bin/env python" (or other forms of the "python" command, + such as "/usr/bin/python"), you need to consider that your users may have + either Python 2 or Python 3 as their default, and write your code to work + under both versions. +* If you use an explicit version, for example "/usr/bin/env python3" your + application will not work for users who do not have that version. (This + may be what you want if you have not made your code Python 2 compatible). +* There is no way to say "python X.Y or later", so be careful of using an + exact version like "/usr/bin/env python3.4" as you will need to change your + shebang line for users of Python 3.5, for example. + +The Python Zip Application Archive Format +----------------------------------------- + +Python has been able to execute zip files which contain a ``__main__.py`` file +since version 2.6. In order to be executed by Python, an application archive +simply has to be a standard zip file containing a ``__main__.py`` file which +will be run as the entry point for the application. As usual for any Python +script, the parent of the script (in this case the zip file) will be placed on +:data:`sys.path` and thus further modules can be imported from the zip file. + +The zip file format allows arbitrary data to be prepended to a zip file. The +zip application format uses this ability to prepend a standard POSIX "shebang" +line to the file (``#!/path/to/interpreter``). + +Formally, the Python zip application format is therefore: + +1. An optional shebang line, containing the characters ``b'#!'`` followed by an + interpreter name, and then a newline (``b'\n'``) character. The interpreter + name can be anything acceptable to the OS "shebang" processing, or the Python + launcher on Windows. The interpreter should be encoded in UTF-8 on Windows, + and in :func:`sys.getfilesystemencoding()` on POSIX. +2. Standard zipfile data, as generated by the :mod:`zipfile` module. The + zipfile content *must* include a file called ``__main__.py`` (which must be + in the "root" of the zipfile - i.e., it cannot be in a subdirectory). The + zipfile data can be compressed or uncompressed. + +If an application archive has a shebang line, it may have the executable bit set +on POSIX systems, to allow it to be executed directly. + +There is no requirement that the tools in this module are used to create +application archives - the module is a convenience, but archives in the above +format created by any means are acceptable to Python. + diff --git a/Doc/library/zipfile.rst b/Doc/library/zipfile.rst index 10a094f..d40315e 100644 --- a/Doc/library/zipfile.rst +++ b/Doc/library/zipfile.rst @@ -134,12 +134,16 @@ ZipFile Objects Open a ZIP file, where *file* can be either a path to a file (a string) or a file-like object.

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` introduces a :term:`provisional module <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 +:attr:`__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>`_) will be used for on-demand +source code analysis. + +The type system supports unions, generic types, and a special type +named :class:`~typing.Any` which is consistent with (i.e. assignable to +and from) all types. + +.. seealso:: + + * :mod:`typing` module documentation + * :pep:`484` -- Type Hints + PEP written by Guido van Rossum, Jukka Lehtosalo, and Łukasz Langa; + implemented by Guido van Rossum. + * :pep:`483` -- The Theory of Type Hints + PEP written by Guido van Rossum + + +.. _whatsnew-pep-471: + +PEP 471 - os.scandir() function -- a better and faster directory iterator +------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +:pep:`471` adds a new directory iteration function, :func:`os.scandir`, +to the standard library. Additionally, :func:`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 :func:`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 :func:`os.scandir` to display all +the files (excluding directories) in the given *path* that don't start with +``'.'``. The :meth:`entry.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) + +.. seealso:: + + :pep:`471` -- os.scandir() function -- a better and faster directory iterator + PEP written and implemented by Ben Hoyt with the help of Victor Stinner. + + +.. _whatsnew-pep-475: + +PEP 475: Retry system calls failing with EINTR +---------------------------------------------- + +A :py:data:`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 :exc:`InterruptedError` in such case. This meant that, when writing a +Python application, the developer had two choices: + +#. Ignore the ``InterruptedError``. +#. 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") + +and:: + + while True: + try: + print("Hello World") + break + except InterruptedError: + continue + +:pep:`475` implements automatic retry of system calls on +``EINTR``. This removes the burden of dealing with ``EINTR`` +or :exc:`InterruptedError` in user code in most situations and makes +Python programs, including the standard library, more robust.

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` changes the behavior of generators: when a ``StopIteration`` +exception is raised inside a generator, it is replaced with a +:exc:`RuntimeError` before it exits the generator frame. The main goal of +this change is to ease debugging in the situation where an unguarded +:func:`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 :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 :exc:`PendingDeprecationWarning` will be +raised whenever a ``StopIteration`` exception is raised inside a generator. + +.. seealso:: + + :pep:`479` -- Change StopIteration handling inside generators + PEP written by Chris Angelico and Guido van Rossum.

In addition, the undocumented + *LegalChars* parameter of :func:`~http.cookies.Morsel.set` is deprecated and + is now ignored. (Contributed by Demian Brecht in :issue:`2211`.) + +* :pep:`488` has removed ``.pyo`` files from Python and introduced the optional + ``opt-`` tag in ``.pyc`` file names. The + :func:`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. sourcless 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 :mod:`socket` module now exports the :data:`~socket.CAN_RAW_FD_FRAMES` + constant on linux 3.6 and greater. + +* The :func:`ssl.cert_time_to_seconds` function now interprets the input time + as UTC and not as local time, per :rfc:`5280`. Additionally, the return + value is always an :class:`int`. (Contributed by Akira Li in :issue:`19940`.) + +* The ``pygettext.py`` Tool now uses the standard +NNNN format for timezones in + the POT-Creation-Date header. + +* The :mod:`smtplib` module now uses :data:`sys.stderr` instead of previous + module level :data:`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 :meth:`str.startswith` and :meth:`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 :issue:`24284`.) + +* The :func:`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 :mod:`pydoc` + module and the :func:`help` function. + (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`15582`.) + +* Nested :func:`functools.partial` calls are now flattened. If you were + relying on the previous behavior, you can now either add an attribute to a + :func:`functools.partial` object or you can create a subclass of + :func:`functools.partial`. + (Contributed by Alexander Belopolsky in :issue:`7830`.) + +Changes in the C API +-------------------- + +* The undocumented :c:member:`~PyMemoryViewObject.format` member of the + (non-public) :c:type:`PyMemoryViewObject` structure has been removed. + All extensions relying on the relevant parts in ``memoryobject.h`` + must be rebuilt. + +* The :c:type:`PyMemAllocator` structure was renamed to + :c:type:`PyMemAllocatorEx` and a new ``calloc`` field was added. + +* Removed non-documented macro :c:macro:`PyObject_REPR` which leaked references. + Use format character ``%R`` in :c:func:`PyUnicode_FromFormat`-like functions + to format the :func:`repr` of the object. + (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`22453`.) + +* Because the lack of the :attr:`__module__` attribute breaks pickling and + introspection, a deprecation warning now is raised for builtin type without + the :attr:`__module__` attribute. Would be an AttributeError in future. + (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`20204`.) + +* As part of :pep:`492` implementation, ``tp_reserved`` slot of + :c:type:`PyTypeObject` was replaced with a + :c:member:`tp_as_async` slot.
