What's New in Python 3.3.1?
===========================
*Not yet released, see sections below for changes released in 3.3.0*
.. *Release date: XX-XXX-2012*
Core and Builtins
-----------------
- Issue #16453: Fix equality testing of dead weakref objects.
- Issue #9535: Fix pending signals that have been received but not yet
handled by Python to not persist after os.fork() in the child process.
- Issue #15001: fix segfault on "del sys.module['__main__']". Patch by Victor
Stinner.
- Issue #8271: the utf-8 decoder now outputs the correct number of U+FFFD
characters when used with the 'replace' error handler on invalid utf-8
sequences. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka, tests by Ezio Melotti.
- Issue #5765: Apply a hard recursion limit in the compiler instead of
blowing the stack and segfaulting. Initial patch by Andrea Griffini.
- Issue #16402: When slicing a range, fix shadowing of exceptions from
__index__.
- Issue #16336: fix input checking in the surrogatepass error handler.
Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
- Issue #8401: assigning an int to a bytearray slice (e.g. b[3:4] = 5) now
raises an error.
- Fix segfaults on setting __qualname__ on builtin types and attempting to
delete it on any type.
- Issue #16345: Fix an infinite loop when ``fromkeys`` on a dict subclass
received a nonempty dict from the constructor.
- Issue #16271: Fix strange bugs that resulted from __qualname__ appearing in a
class's __dict__ and on type.
- Issue #16197: Update winreg docstrings and documentation to match code.
Patch by Zachary Ware.
- Issue #16241: Document -X faulthandler command line option.
Patch by Marek Šuppa.
- Issue #6074: Ensure cached bytecode files can always be updated by the
user that created them, even when the source file is read-only.
- Issue #14783: Improve int() docstring and switch docstrings for str(),
range(), and slice() to use multi-line signatures.
- Issue #16160: Subclass support now works for types.SimpleNamespace.
- Issue #15379: Fix passing of non-BMP characters as integers for the charmap
decoder (already working as unicode strings). Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
- Issue #15144: Fix possible integer overflow when handling pointers as integer
values, by using `Py_uintptr_t` instead of `size_t`. Patch by Serhiy
Storchaka.
- Issue #15965: Explicitly cast `AT_FDCWD` as (int). Required on Solaris 10
(which defines `AT_FDCWD` as ``0xffd19553``), harmless on other platforms.
- Issue #15839: Convert SystemErrors in `super()` to RuntimeErrors.
- Issue #15846: Fix SystemError which happened when using `ast.parse()` in an
exception handler on code with syntax errors.
- Issue #15801: Make sure mappings passed to '%' formatting are actually
subscriptable.
- Issue #15111: __import__ should let ImportError propagate when a module that
is imported as a side-effect of using fromlist tries to import a module
that cannot be found.
Library
-------
- Issue #16140: The subprocess module no longer double closes its child
subprocess.PIPE parent file descriptors on child error prior to exec().
- Remove a bare print to stdout from the subprocess module that could have
happened if the child process wrote garbage to its pre-exec error pipe.
- Issue #16327: The subprocess module no longer leaks file descriptors
used for stdin/stdout/stderr pipes to the child when fork() fails.
- Issue #14396: Handle the odd rare case of waitpid returning 0 when not
expected in subprocess.Popen.wait().
- Issue #16411: Fix a bug where zlib.decompressobj().flush() might try to access
previously-freed memory. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
- Issue #16357: fix calling accept() on a SSLSocket created through
SSLContext.wrap_socket(). Original patch by Jeff McNeil.
- Issue #16409: The reporthook callback made by the legacy
urllib.request.urlretrieve API now properly supplies a constant non-zero
block_size as it did in Python 3.2 and 2.7. This matches the behavior of
urllib.request.URLopener.retrieve.
- Issue #16431: Use the type information when constructing a Decimal subtype
from a Decimal argument.
- Issue #16350: zlib.decompressobj().decompress() now accumulates data from
successive calls after EOF in unused_data, instead of only saving the argument
to the last call. decompressobj().flush() now correctly sets unused_data and
unconsumed_tail. A bug in the handling of MemoryError when setting the
unconsumed_tail attribute has also been fixed. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
- Issue #12759: sre_parse now raises a proper error when the name of the group
is missing. Initial patch by Serhiy Storchaka.

size while iterated on. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
- Issue #16228: Fix a crash in the json module where a list changes size
while it is being encoded. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
- Issue #14897: Enhance error messages of struct.pack and
struct.pack_into. Patch by Matti Mäki.
- Issue #12890: cgitb no longer prints spurious <p> tags in text
mode when the logdir option is specified.
- Issue #16307: Fix multiprocessing.Pool.map_async not calling its callbacks.
Patch by Janne Karila.
- Issue #16250: Fix URLError invocation with proper args.
- Issue #16116: Fix include and library paths to be correct when building C
extensions in venvs.
- Issue #16245: Fix the value of a few entities in html.entities.html5.
- Issue #14398: Fix size truncation and overflow bugs in the bz2 module.
- Issue #16220: wsgiref now always calls close() on an iterable response.
Patch by Brent Tubbs.
- Issue #16270: urllib may hang when used for retrieving files via FTP by using
a context manager. Patch by Giampaolo Rodola'.
- Issue #16176: Properly identify Windows 8 via platform.platform()
- Issue #16114: The subprocess module no longer provides a misleading error
message stating that args[0] did not exist when either the cwd or executable
keyword arguments specified a path that did not exist.
- Issue #16169: Fix ctypes.WinError()'s confusion between errno and winerror.
- Issue #16089: Allow ElementTree.TreeBuilder to work again with a non-Element
element_factory (fixes a regression in SimpleTAL).
- Issue #16034: Fix performance regressions in the new `bz2.BZ2File`
implementation. Initial patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
- Issue #16112: platform.architecture does not correctly escape argument to
/usr/bin/file. Patch by David Benjamin.
- Issue #15756: `subprocess.poll()` now properly handles `errno.ECHILD` to
return a returncode of 0 when the child has already exited or cannot be waited
on.
- Issue #15323: Improve failure message of `Mock.assert_called_once_with()`.
- Issue #16064: ``unittest -m`` claims executable is "python", not "python3".
- Issue #12376: Pass on parameters in `TextTestResult.__init__()` super call.
- Issue #15222: Insert blank line after each message in mbox mailboxes.
- Issue #16013: Fix `csv.Reader` parsing issue with ending quote characters.
Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
- Issue #15421: Fix an OverflowError in `Calendar.itermonthdates()` after
`datetime.MAXYEAR`. Patch by Cédric Krier.
- Issue #15970: `xml.etree.ElementTree` now serializes correctly the empty HTML
elements 'meta' and 'param'.
- Issue #15842: The `SocketIO.{readable,writable,seekable}` methods now raise
ValueError when the file-like object is closed. Patch by Alessandro Moura.
- Issue #15876: Fix a refleak in the `curses` module: window.encoding.
- Issue #15881: Fix `atexit` hook in `multiprocessing`. Original patch by Chris
McDonough.
- Issue #15841: The readable(), writable() and seekable() methods of
`io.BytesIO` and `io.StringIO` objects now raise ValueError when the object
has been closed. Patch by Alessandro Moura.
- Issue #16126: PyErr_Format format mismatch in _testcapimodule.c.
Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
- Issue #15447: Use `subprocess.DEVNULL` in webbrowser, instead of opening
`os.devnull` explicitly and leaving it open.
- Issue #15509: `webbrowser.UnixBrowser` no longer passes empty arguments to
Popen when ``%action`` substitutions produce empty strings.
- Issue #12776, issue #11839: Call `argparse` type function (specified by
add_argument) only once. Before, the type function was called twice in the
case where the default was specified and the argument was given as well. This
was especially problematic for the FileType type, as a default file would
always be opened, even if a file argument was specified on the command line.
- Issue #15906: Fix a regression in `argparse` caused by the preceding change,
when ``action='append'``, ``type='str'`` and ``default=[]``.
Tests
-----
- Issue #16115: Add some tests for the executable argument to
subprocess.Popen(). Initial patch by Kushal Das.
- Issue #15304: Fix warning message when `os.chdir()` fails inside
`test.support.temp_cwd()`. Patch by Chris Jerdonek.
- Issue #15802: Fix test logic in `TestMaildir.test_create_tmp()`. Patch by
Serhiy Storchaka.
- Issue #15557: Add a test suite for the `webbrowser` module, thanks to Anton
Barkovsky.
Build
-----
- Issue #16262: fix out-of-src-tree builds, if mercurial is not installed.
- Issue #15298: ensure _sysconfigdata is generated in build directory, not
source directory.
- Issue #15833: Fix a regression in 3.3 that resulted in exceptions being
raised if importlib failed to write byte-compiled files. This affected
attempts to build Python out-of-tree from a read-only source directory.

`__int__()` gives a non-integer. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
Extension Modules
-----------------
- Issue #16012: Fix a regression in pyexpat. The parser's `UseForeignDTD()`
method doesn't require an argument again.
What's New in Python 3.3.0 Release Candidate 3?
===============================================
*Release date: 23-Sep-2012*

`PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags()` when filename points to a pyc/pyo file, closeit is
false an and set_main_loader() fails.
- Fixes for a few crash and memory leak regressions found by Coverity.
Library
-------
- Issue #15882: Change `_decimal` to accept any coefficient tuple when
constructing infinities. This is done for backwards compatibility with
decimal.py: Infinity coefficients are undefined in _decimal (in accordance
with the specification).
- Issue #15925: Fix a regression in `email.util` where the `parsedate()` and
`parsedate_tz()` functions did not return None anymore when the argument could
not be parsed.

What's New in Python 3.3.0 Release Candidate 2?
===============================================
*Release date: 09-Sep-2012*

ran concurrently and involved subclasses of built-in container types.
- Issue #15784: Modify `OSError`.__str__() to better distinguish between errno
error numbers and Windows error numbers.

opened. This was a regression caused by the hash randomization patch.
- Issue #10650: Deprecate the watchexp parameter of the `Decimal.quantize()`
method.
- Issue #15785: Modify `window.get_wch()` API of the curses module: return a
character for most keys, and an integer for special keys, instead of always
returning an integer. So it is now possible to distinguish special keys like
keypad keys.
- Issue #14223: Fix `window.addch()` of the curses module for special characters
like curses.ACS_HLINE: the Python function addch(int) and addch(bytes) is now
calling the C function waddch()/mvwaddch() (as it was done in Python 3.2),
instead of wadd_wch()/mvwadd_wch(). The Python function addch(str) is still
calling the C function wadd_wch()/mvwadd_wch() if the Python curses is linked
to libncursesw.

in contextlib.ExitStack (Initial patch by Alon Horev)
Build
-----
- Issue #13590: Improve support for OS X Xcode 4:
* Try to avoid building Python or extension modules with problematic
llvm-gcc compiler.
* Since Xcode 4 removes ppc support, extension module builds now
check for ppc compiler support and automatically remove ppc and
ppc64 archs when not available.
* Since Xcode 4 no longer install SDKs in default locations,
extension module builds now revert to using installed headers
and libs if the SDK used to build the interpreter is not
available.
* Update ./configure to use better defaults for universal builds;
in particular, --enable-universalsdk=yes uses the Xcode default
SDK and --with-universal-archs now defaults to "intel" if ppc
not available.

What's New in Python 3.3.0 Alpha 1?
===================================
*Release date: 05-Mar-2012*
Core and Builtins
-----------------
- Issue #14172: Fix reference leak when marshalling a buffer-like object
(other than a bytes object).
- Issue #13521: dict.setdefault() now does only one lookup for the given key,
making it "atomic" for many purposes. Patch by Filip Gruszczyński.
- PEP 409, Issue #6210: "raise X from None" is now supported as a means of
suppressing the display of the chained exception context. The chained
context still remains available as the __context__ attribute.
- Issue #10181: New memoryview implementation fixes multiple ownership
and lifetime issues of dynamically allocated Py_buffer members (#9990)
as well as crashes (#8305, #7433). Many new features have been added
(See whatsnew/3.3), and the documentation has been updated extensively.
The ndarray test object from _testbuffer.c implements all aspects of
PEP-3118, so further development towards the complete implementation
of the PEP can proceed in a test-driven manner.
Thanks to Nick Coghlan, Antoine Pitrou and Pauli Virtanen for review
and many ideas.
- Issue #12834: Fix incorrect results of memoryview.tobytes() for
non-contiguous arrays.
- Issue #5231: Introduce memoryview.cast() method that allows changing
format and shape without making a copy of the underlying memory.
- Issue #14084: Fix a file descriptor leak when importing a module with a
bad encoding.
- Upgrade Unicode data to Unicode 6.1.

against denial of service attacks due to hash collisions within the dict and
set types. Patch by David Malcolm, based on work by Victor Stinner.

compile multiple statements as a single interactive statement.
- Fix the builtin module initialization code to store the init function for
future reinitialization.
- Issue #8052: The posix subprocess module would take a long time closing
all possible file descriptors in the child process rather than just open
file descriptors. It now closes only the open fds if possible for the
default close_fds=True behavior.
- Issue #13629: Renumber the tokens in token.h so that they match the indexes
into _PyParser_TokenNames.
- Issue #13752: Add a casefold() method to str.
- Issue #13761: Add a "flush" keyword argument to the print() function,
used to ensure flushing the output stream.

code, to avoid timestamp collisions (especially on filesystems with a low
timestamp resolution) when checking for freshness of the bytecode.
- PEP 380, Issue #11682: Add "yield from <x>" to support easy delegation to
subgenerators (initial patch by Greg Ewing, integration into 3.3 by
Renaud Blanch, Ryan Kelly, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek and Nick Coghlan)

- Fix OSError.__init__ and OSError.__new__ so that each of them can be
overriden and take additional arguments (followup to issue #12555).
- Fix the fix for issue #12149: it was incorrect, although it had the side
effect of appearing to resolve the issue. Thanks to Mark Shannon for
noticing.
- Issue #13505: Pickle bytes objects in a way that is compatible with
Python 2 when using protocols <= 2.
- Issue #11147: Fix an unused argument in _Py_ANNOTATE_MEMORY_ORDER. (Fix
given by Campbell Barton).

pickle protocol >= 3. The old reduction format is kept with older protocols
in order to allow unpickling under Python 2. Patch by Irmen de Jong.

stream. It was already the case with Python 2. However, the corresponding
sys module entries are now set to None (instead of an unusable file object).

on POSIX systems supporting anonymous memory mappings. Patch by
Charles-François Natali.
- Issue #13452: PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() doesn't support error handlers
different than "strict" anymore. The caller was unable to compute the
size of the output buffer: it depends on the error handler.

to allow compiling extension modules with -Wswitch-enum on gcc.
Initial patch by Floris Bruynooghe.
- Issue #10227: Add an allocation cache for a single slice object. Patch by
Stefan Behnel.
- Issue #13393: BufferedReader.read1() now asks the full requested size to
the raw stream instead of limiting itself to the buffer size.
- Issue #13392: Writing a pyc file should now be atomic under Windows as well.
- Issue #13333: The UTF-7 decoder now accepts lone surrogates (the encoder
already accepts them).
- Issue #13389: Full garbage collection passes now clear the freelists for
list and dict objects. They already cleared other freelists in the
interpreter.
- Issue #13327: Remove the need for an explicit None as the second argument
to os.utime, os.lutimes, os.futimes, os.futimens, os.futimesat, in
order to update to the current time. Also added keyword argument
handling to os.utimensat in order to remove the need for explicit None.
- Issue #13350: Simplify some C code by replacing most usages of
PyUnicode_Format by PyUnicode_FromFormat.
- Issue #13342: input() used to ignore sys.stdin's and sys.stdout's unicode
error handler in interactive mode (when calling into PyOS_Readline()).
- Issue #9896: Add start, stop, and step attributes to range objects.
- Issue #13343: Fix a SystemError when a lambda expression uses a global

- Issue #13018: Fix reference leaks in error paths in dictobject.c.
Patch by Suman Saha.
- Issue #13201: Define '==' and '!=' to compare range objects based on
the sequence of values they define (instead of comparing based on
object identity).
- Issue #1294232: In a few cases involving metaclass inheritance, the
interpreter would sometimes invoke the wrong metaclass when building a new
class object. These cases now behave correctly. Patch by Daniel Urban.
- Issue #12753: Add support for Unicode name aliases and named sequences.
Both ``unicodedata.lookup()`` and '\N{...}' now resolve aliases,
and ``unicodedata.lookup()`` resolves named sequences too.
- Issue #12170: The count(), find(), rfind(), index() and rindex() methods
of bytes and bytearray objects now accept an integer between 0 and 255
as their first argument. Patch by Petri Lehtinen.
- Issue #12604: VTRACE macro expanded to no-op in _sre.c to avoid compiler
warnings. Patch by Josh Triplett and Petri Lehtinen.
- Issue #12281: Rewrite the MBCS codec to handle correctly replace and ignore
error handlers on all Windows versions. The MBCS codec is now supporting all
error handlers, instead of only replace to encode and ignore to decode.
- Issue #13188: When called without an explicit traceback argument,

and PyUnicode_EncodeLocale() functions to the C API to decode/encode from/to
the current locale encoding.
- Add internal API for static strings (_Py_identifier et al.).
- Issue #13063: the Windows error ERROR_NO_DATA (numbered 232 and described
as "The pipe is being closed") is now mapped to POSIX errno EPIPE
(previously EINVAL).
- Issue #12911: Fix memory consumption when calculating the repr() of huge
tuples or lists.
- PEP 393: flexible string representation. Thanks to Torsten Becker for the
initial implementation, and Victor Stinner for various bug fixes.
- Issue #14081: The 'sep' and 'maxsplit' parameter to str.split, bytes.split,
and bytearray.split may now be passed as keyword arguments.
- Issue #13012: The 'keepends' parameter to str.splitlines may now be passed
as a keyword argument: "my_string.splitlines(keepends=True)". The same
change also applies to bytes.splitlines and bytearray.splitlines.
- Issue #7732: Don't open a directory as a file anymore while importing a
module. Ignore the direcotry if its name matchs the module name (e.g.

generator.
- Issue #12475: Prevent generators from leaking their exception state into the

more helpful error message when opened with an invalid mode string.
- Issue #13590: On OS X 10.7 and 10.6 with Xcode 4.2, building
Distutils-based packages with C extension modules may fail because
Apple has removed gcc-4.2, the version used to build python.org
64-bit/32-bit Pythons. If the user does not explicitly override
the default C compiler by setting the CC environment variable,
Distutils will now attempt to compile extension modules with clang
if gcc-4.2 is required but not found. Also as a convenience, if
the user does explicitly set CC, substitute its value as the default
compiler in the Distutils LDSHARED configuration variable for OS X.
(Note, the python.org 32-bit-only Pythons use gcc-4.0 and the 10.4u
SDK, neither of which are available in Xcode 4. This change does not
attempt to override settings to support their use with Xcode 4.)

- Issue #13846: Add time.monotonic(), monotonic clock.
- Issue #8184: multiprocessing: On Windows, don't set SO_REUSEADDR on

- Issue #10968: Remove indirection in threading. The public names (Event,
Condition, etc.) used to be factory functions returning instances of hidden

encoding cookie, instead of opening it in UTF-8.
- Issue #9516: On Mac OS X, change Distutils to no longer globally attempt to
check or set the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable for the
interpreter process. This could cause failures in non-Distutils subprocesses
and was unreliable since tests or user programs could modify the interpreter
environment after Distutils set it. Instead, have Distutils set the the
deployment target only in the environment of each build subprocess. It is
still possible to globally override the default by setting
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET before launching the interpreter; its value must be
greater or equal to the default value, the value with which the interpreter
was built. Also, implement the same handling in packaging.
