* bpo-23403: Bump pickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL to 4 (#6355)Łukasz Langa2018-04-041-0/+3
| | | This makes performance better and produces shorter pickles. This change is backwards compatible up to the oldest currently supported version of Python (3.4).
* Fix duplicating words words. (GH-6296)Serhiy Storchaka2018-03-281-1/+1
| | | Most of them have been added in 3.7.
* Fix description about SimpleXMLRPCServer constructor parameter ↵cocoatomo2018-03-261-1/+1
| | | | | | bind_and_activate. (GH-776) Passing True as the `bind_and_activate` *do* immediately opening and binding to their socket.
* bpo-33053: -m now adds *starting* directory to sys.path (GH-6231)Nick Coghlan2018-03-251-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, -m added the empty string as sys.path zero, meaning it resolved imports against the current working directory, the same way -c and the interactive prompt do. This changes the sys.path initialisation to add the *starting* working directory as sys.path[0] instead, such that changes to the working directory while the program is running will have no effect on imports when using the -m switch.
* bpo-33042: Fix pre-initialization sys module configuration (GH-6157)Nick Coghlan2018-03-251-2/+21
| | | | | | | | | - new test case for pre-initialization of sys.warnoptions and sys._xoptions - restored ability to call these APIs prior to Py_Initialize - updated the docs for the affected APIs to make it clear they can be called before Py_Initialize - also enhanced the existing embedding test cases to check for expected settings in the sys module
* bpo-33041: Rework compiling an "async for" loop. (#6142)Serhiy Storchaka2018-03-231-0/+4
| | | | | | | | * Added new opcode END_ASYNC_FOR. * Setting global StopAsyncIteration no longer breaks "async for" loops. * Jumping into an "async for" loop is now disabled. * Jumping out of an "async for" loop no longer corrupts the stack. * Simplify the compiler.

* bpo-31453: Add setter for min/max protocol version (#5259)Christian Heimes2018-02-271-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | OpenSSL 1.1 has introduced a new API to set the minimum and maximum supported protocol version. The API is easier to use than the old OP_NO_TLS1 option flags, too. Since OpenSSL has no call to set minimum version to highest supported, the implementation emulate maximum_version = MINIMUM_SUPPORTED and minimum_version = MAXIMUM_SUPPORTED by figuring out the minumum and maximum supported version at compile time.

* bpo-32951: Disable SSLSocket/SSLObject constructor (#5864)Christian Heimes2018-02-271-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Direct instantiation of SSLSocket and SSLObject objects is now prohibited. The constructors were never documented, tested, or designed as public constructors. The SSLSocket constructor had limitations. For example it was not possible to enabled hostname verification except was ssl_version=PROTOCOL_TLS_CLIENT with cert_reqs=CERT_REQUIRED. SSLContext.wrap_socket() and SSLContext.wrap_bio are the recommended API to construct SSLSocket and SSLObject instances. ssl.wrap_socket() is also deprecated. The only test case for direct instantiation was added a couple of days ago for IDNA testing. Signed-off-by: Christian Heimes <christian@python.org>
* bpo-28124: deprecate ssl.wrap_socket() (#5888)Christian Heimes2018-02-271-0/+5
| | | | | | | The ssl module function ssl.wrap_socket() has been de-emphasized and deprecated in favor of the more secure and efficient SSLContext.wrap_socket() method. Signed-off-by: Christian Heimes <christian@python.org>
* bpo-32947: OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre1 / TLS 1.3 fixes (#5663)Christian Heimes2018-02-271-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * bpo-32947: OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre1 / TLS 1.3 fixes Misc fixes and workarounds for compatibility with OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre1 and TLS 1.3 support. With OpenSSL 1.1.1, Python negotiates TLS 1.3 by default. Some test cases only apply to TLS 1.2. Other tests currently fail because the threaded or async test servers stop after failure. I'm going to address these issues when OpenSSL 1.1.1 reaches beta. OpenSSL 1.1.1 has added a new option OP_ENABLE_MIDDLEBOX_COMPAT for TLS 1.3. The feature is enabled by default for maximum compatibility with broken middle boxes. Users should be able to disable the hack and CPython's test suite needs it to verify default options.

* [bpo-28414] Make all hostnames in SSL module IDN A-labels (GH-5128)Christian Heimes2018-02-241-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the ssl module stored international domain names (IDNs) as U-labels. This is problematic for a number of reasons -- for example, it made it impossible for users to use a different version of IDNA than the one built into Python. After this change, we always convert to A-labels as soon as possible, and use them for all internal processing. In particular, server_hostname attribute is now an A-label, and on the server side there's a new sni_callback that receives the SNI servername as an A-label rather than a U-label.

* bpo-31429: Define TLS cipher suite on build time (#3532)Christian Heimes2018-01-291-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now Python used a hard coded white list of default TLS cipher suites. The old approach has multiple downsides. OpenSSL's default selection was completely overruled. Python did neither benefit from new cipher suites (ChaCha20, TLS 1.3 suites) nor blacklisted cipher suites. For example we used to re-enable 3DES. Python now defaults to OpenSSL DEFAULT cipher suite selection and black lists all unwanted ciphers. Downstream vendors can override the default cipher list with --with-ssl-default-suites.
