Changes from 2.8.3 to 2.8.4

Support for Python 3.11 has been added.
Thanks to Tobias Hangleiter for an improved accuracy complex expm1
function.
While it is 25 % slower, it is significantly more accurate for the real
component
over a range of values and matches NumPy outputs much more closely.
Thanks to Kirill Kouzoubov for a range of fixes to constants parsing that
was
resulting in duplicated constants of the same value.
Thanks to Mark Harfouche for noticing that we no longer need numpy
version
checks. packaging is no longer a requirement as a result.

[Python-Dev] Possible bug in `re` module in Python 3.11?

Hi,
I would like to ask your guidance as I'm entirely sure whether the problem I'm experiencing should be posted in CPython's repo as a bug issue.
I've tried using newly released Python 3.11 interpreter in some of my projects and one of them failed to start with "RuntimeError: invalid SRE code" error.

Looking into implementation of one of the dependencies I've found out that the issue has been found out by a maintainer and fixed (https://github.com/pydicom/pydicom/issues/1658).
It looks like this particular regexp caused the re.compile() method to raise:

   re.compile(
        r"(?P<h>^([01][0-9]|2[0-3]))"
        r"((?P<m>([0-5][0-9]))?"
        r"(?(5)(?P<s>([0-5][0-9]|60))?)"
        r"(?(7)(\.(?P<ms>([0-9]{1,6})?))?))$"
    )

I've checked and this hasn't been an issue in all previous Python interpreter versions, starting from 3.6 (the oldest I've checked).
What's more the regex i correctly recognized and does not cause any issues in other regexp implementations, e.g. ... continue reading

[Python-Dev] NEWLINE sentinel behavior in CPython's PEG grammar

I am writing a Rust version of Python for fun and I am at the parser stage
of development.

I copied and modified a PEG grammar ruleset from another open source
project and I've already noticed some problems (ex Newline vs NL) with how
they transcribed things.

I am suspecting that CPython's grammar NEWLINE is a builtin rule for the
parser that is something like (Newline+ | NL+ ) {NOP} but wanted to
sanity check if that is right before I figure out how to hack in a NEWLINE
rule and update my grammar ruleset.

[Python-Dev] Thank you for your contributions to Python 3.11!

Hi everyone,

Now that the 3.11.0 release is finally done and I can relax a bit, I just
wanted to thank you all
for your fantastic work that has made Python 3.11 such a fantastic release.
No matter if you committed
code to 3.11 or opened a bug, helped with the documentation, reviewed pull
requests, participated in
discussions, made a PEP or help writing one, fixed a bug or one hundred or

interpreter or any other of the many ways to contribute. Your work makes a
huge difference and Python
3.11 is much better because of that :)

Also, I want to especially thank all core devs and contributors that have
helped me and the release team take
care of release blockers, buildbot failures, CVE patches, and any other
form of release crisis. Thank you!

Alice Purcell (Alice.Purcell.39 (a) gmail.com)

[Python-Dev] TypedMapping structural type

I would like to propose adding a new TypedMapping structural type, which (like Mapping vs dict) functions as a read-only equivalent of TypedDict.

(This is a cross-post from typing-sig@, where our original proposal got refined.)

Specification

class Request(TypedMapping, total=False):
  some_field: string | None

request: Request = { "some_field": "foo" }
request2: Request = {}  # fine because total=False
request["some_field"] = None  # error
del request["some_field"]  # error

TypedMapping is a structural type that mirrors TypedDict except for:

instances need not be subclasses of dict;
no mutate methods will be generated
subclasses can narrow field types (consequence of 2)

Rules for 3 mirror Protocols.

Multiple inheritance and TypedDict

A type that inherits from a TypedMapping subclass and from TypedDict (either directly or indirectly):

is the structural intersection of its parents, or invalid if no such intersection exists
instances must be a d... continue reading

[Python-ideas] Add mechanism to check if a path is a junction (for Windows)

Junctions are contextually similar to symlinks on Windows.

I propose adding a mechanism to both pathlib.Path and os.path to check if a given path is a junction or not. Currently is_symlink/islink return False for junctions.

Maybe isjunction in os.path and is_junction in pathlib.Path?

Part of me thinks about adding an junction_ok param to the existing islink and is_symlink since they are often similar in usage.

[Python-Dev] [CVE-2022-37454] SHA3 vulnerability and upcoming Python patches for 3.7 - 3.10

I’m looking for help understanding how Python will release fixes related to the SHA3 critical security vulnerability (CVE-2022-37454). I’ve tried to figure this out myself, but I’m far from a Python expert and I’m not sure where else I should look.

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to ask - if it is, a redirect to the correct place would be most appreciated.

Here’s what I’ve found so far:

Python versions 3.6 through 3.10 appear to be affected
- 3.6 is end of life, so no fix is expected
- A code fix appears to have been applied to 3.7 through 3.10 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/98517
- 3.9 and 3.10 by default use OpenSSL1.1.1+ if it’s available, appearing to default to the builtin, vulnerable SHA3 implementation if OpenSSL is not found (if there’s an exception)
  - 3.9 introduced this change via bpo-37630 in release 3.9.0 beta1
  - 3.10 appears to have had this functionality since it was originally released
3.11 uses tiny_sha3 and AFAICT... continue reading

[Python-ideas] Custom unpickler and pickler for the shelve module

Hi,

As you know we can't pickle the lambda functions in the standard pickle module. So, for that reason the shelve library also can't do that.

What if we can define the custom pickler and unpickler for the shelve module?

We couldn't do this before;

import shelve
with shelve.open("test_file") as sh:
squared = lambda x: x ** 2
sh['test_key'] = squared

Now, we can easily do it; (https://gist.github.com/furkanonder/436d1b23eede54650107924e747b5d77)

import dill
import shelve

with shelve.open("test_file_2", pickler=dill.Pickler, unpickler=dill.Unpickler) as sh:
squared = lambda x: x ** 2
sh['test_key'] = squared

I could easily solve this problem I had while using the Shelve module. I believe that shelve module will be a more useful module by adding support for custom unpickler and pickler.

Kindest regards,
Furkan Onder

Ronald Hoogenboom (RHoogenboom (a) irdeto.com)

[Python-ideas] Allow more flexibility for describing bytes objects.

Refer to PEP 3137 and PEP 358.

Bytes objects are for conveying binary data (or encoded strings). Such binary data is customary specified in hex-dump or base64 format in source files.
It would be nice to introduce a way in python to do that 'natively' (at lexical analysis time) using x-strings and y-strings (in lieu of f-strings).

x-strings:

            x"0123456789abcdef"  (x-prefixed quoted string of even-numbered amount of characters of the set [0-9a-fA-F], whitespace ignored)

equivalent to:
b"\x01\x23\x45\x67\x89\xab\xcd\xef" (but more readable)

y-strings:

            y"ASNFZ4mrze8=" (y-prefixed quoted string of valid base64, whitespace ignored)

equivalent to:
b"\x01\x23\x45\x67\x89\xab\xcd\xef" (but shorter)

This is not a replacement of the hex/base64 encoding, binascii packages etc. It just gives the programmer more freedom to specify literal bytes objects in the source code.

The main motivation for it is to allow users to get a predictable result
on a given input (for programs that are doing pure compute, in domains like
operations research / compilation), any time they run their program. Having
stable repro is important for debugging. Notebooks with statistical
analysis are another similar case where this is needed: you might want
other people to run your notebook and get the same result you did.
The reason the hash non-determinism of None matters in practice is that
it can infect commonly used mapping key types, such as frozen dataclasses
containing Optional[int] fields.
Non-determinism emerging from other value types like str can be
disabled by the user using PYTHONHASHSEED, but there's no such protection
against None.

All it takes is for your program to compute a set somewhere with affected
keys, and i... continue reading

[Python-ideas] Idea: PEP 3132 – Extended Iterable Unpacking for custom classes

Basically, I think it would be need if we could write

first, *tail = np.array([1,2,3])

and have tail be a np.ndarray. Currently, the result is list. Either, python could try initializing the object using the received type, or one could introduce a new dunder classmethod __from_iterable__ that custom classes can implement.

[Python-ideas] Enhancing variable scope control

As it stands now, to create a local scope, you must define a function.

However, there are many cases where various things can reasonably be done
inline. Preparatory code is often done this way.

Good coding practice is generally accepted to be that variables are local
if at all possible. However, in direct, inline Python code, we're
inherently creating variables with a global scope.

We don't actually need a function for this kind of code; but a local scope
would often be valuable (as we see with lambda.) Moving things off into a
function can create a circumstance where we have to go looking for the
function. When something is a "one-shot" as in global preparatory code,
that's doing more work, and creating more indirection, than needs actually
be done. But global operations have their own pitfalls, one of which is
variable collisions. So Python sort of drives us to make "one-use"
functions where lambdas are insufficient to the case in order to control
locality.

You can end up writing... continue reading

[Python-Dev] RFC: expose ssl internals for use by ctypes/cffi

Hi all,

for quite some time I've been working on a Python implementation of a protocol called NTS which requires access to an API in OpenSSL which is not provided by the Python ssl module. I added a patch for that which unfortunately for me the maintainer did not want to accept. Some comments were made of a possible future way to give more generic access to the openssl library via ctypes/cffi but I have been unable to find more information about that. I was home sick last week and decided to take a shot at it and have built something that I feel is a bit ugly but does seem to work. I'd like to some feedback on this approach.

My patches can be found on github, based on the Python 3.11 tag:

Here's a short description of each patch on this branch:

"bpo-37952: SSL: add support for export_keying_material" is my old patch which adds the method I need to the ssl library just for reference.

[Python-announce] Lona: a simple pythonic framework to write responsive web apps in full Python

Web: https://lona-web.org/1.x/
Github: https://github.com/lona-web-org/lona/

What is Lona?

Lona is a web application framework, designed to write responsive web apps in
full Python.

Web is a solved problem in Python since ages, but traditionally Python handles
only the server side. If you want to have client side interaction like click
events or you want update content live, you have to write an additional
Javascript application.

Lona handles the server side and the client side, and provides a simple,
pythonic API to write self contained views.

Lona is very easy to use. You can write a whole web app, using only one simple
Python script.

https://lona-web.org/1.x/demos/

Get involved!

I released 1.10.5 yesterday. Lona is pretty stable and well tested right now,
but a major release is right around the corner. Helping hands, feedback and
new ideas in any form are very welcome.

Best regards,

[Python-ideas] Idea: Tagged strings in python

Hi everyone!

I'm the maintainer of a small django library called django-components. I've run into a problem that I have a language-level solution (tagged strings) to, that I think would benefit the wider python community.

Problem
A component in my library is a combination of python code, html, css and javascript. Currently I glue things together with a python file, where you put the paths to the html, css and javascript. When run, it brings all of the files together into a component. But for small components, having to juggle four different files around is cumbersome, so I've started to look for a way to put everything related to the component _in the same file_. This makes it much easier to work on, understand, and with fewer places to make path errors.

Example:
class Calendar(component.Component):
template_string = ''
css_string = '.calendar { background: pink }'
js_string = 'document.getElementsByClassName("calendar)[0].onclick = f... continue reading

[Python-Dev] PEP 701 – Syntactic formalization of f-strings

Hi everyone,

I am very excited to share with you a PEP that Batuhan Taskaya, Lysandros
Nikolaou and myself have been working on recently: PEP 701 - PEP 701 –
Syntactic formalization of f-strings https://peps.python.org/pep-0701/.

We believe this will be a great improvement in both the maintainability of
CPython and the usability of f-strings.

We look forward to hearing what you think about this and to get your
feedback!

Here is a TLDR for your convenience:

The PEP proposes a formalized grammar for f-strings in Python by
adding f-strings directly into the Grammar instead of using a two-pass
hand-written parser.
This would lift some existing restrictions for f-strings that (we
believe) will improve the user experience with f-strings.
Other benefits include:
- Reduced maintenance costs for f-string parsing code as well as
  improved usability for users and library developers.
- Better error messages involving f-strings by leveraging the PEG... continue reading

Mathew Elman (mathew.elman (a) ocado.com)

[Python-ideas] Extending LiteralString or Literal with structural validation

This is somewhat inspired by the "Tagged strings in python" thread, but from a different approach.
Specifically, rather than messing with runtime python, using static type analysis to help the usability of specific kinds of string literals.

It would be useful to take advantage of the LiteralString or Literal type hints to add structural validation to literals.

For example, if these could be subclassed to add a validation method:
class MyLiteral(LiteralString):
def __validate__(self):
...

or extended to allow something like regex in there generic type parameter:
Literal[r"\w+"]
LiteralString[r"\w+"]

then specific kinds of literal string can be "enforced" by static type checkers.
Then IDEs could at the very least highlight that a string literal is not valid.

I stress these are just examples, the goal is to have a way to tell a static type checker what the structure of a string literal has to be.

[Python-Dev] problem with abandonned lib pyliblo

Hi.

There is a problem with the lib pyliblo, the source code of the lib is here:
https://github.com/dsacre/pyliblo

The problem is that the lib is now incompatible with python3.11 because it
uses inspect.getargspec function which does not exist anymore. This is very
easy to fix, the main problem is that the author Dominic Sacré does not
answer anymore to any message (PR, issues, email), so there is no hope he
will fix the problem.

I am ready to maintain this lib myself, I could simply fork it and rename
the lib to pass it to pip list, but all programs using it will have to
rename the lib in their requirements.

Is there a sort of protocol to do when this happens, in order to replace
the source package with a new version ?

[Python-Dev] Feature Request: Adding Way to Annotate Class Variables Distinct from Instance Variables

Hello folks, I am Chihiro, a.k.a. Frodo821, and this is my first post to this group.

I searched for a way to annotate both class variables and instance variables with different types and concluded that there is currently no way to do this.

For example, what I want to:

class Foo:

    def __init__(self, value: int):
        self.variable_both_class_and_instance = value

assert isinstance(Foo().variable_both_class_and_instance, int)

In this example, I want to annotate Foo.variable_both_class_and_instance with Field when it is accessed as a class variable. On the other hand, I want to annotate Foo.variable_both_class_and_instance with int when it is accessed as an instance variable.

I don't have any smart ideas to accomplish this, but I think typing.ClassVar could be extended this like:

[Python-announce] tencdec: A number array to/from bytes high performance encoder/decoder

What is tencdec

A number array to/from bytes high performance encoder/decoder.

It gets a list of monotonic increasing integers and can encode it to a
byte object very fast in a compressed form using deltas.

Then you may store that byte object in a DB or whatever, and when you
need the list of integers back, you just decode it.

https://github.com/facundobatista/tencdec

Example:

>>> numbers = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 28, 87, 87, 500, 501, 507, 2313]
>>> enc = tencdec.encode(numbers)
>>> enc
b'\x00\x01\x01\x01\x01\x18;\x00\x9d\x03\x01\x06\x8e\x0e'
>>> dec = tencdec.decode(enc)
>>> numbers == dec
True

And it's very fast!

Using the numbers from the example above, timeit shows around 2
microseconds to encode or decode (in a AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U CPU):

$ python3 -m timeit -s "import tencdec; numbers = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 28,
87, 87, 500, 501, 507, 2313]" "tencdec.encode(numbers)"

[Python-Dev] Fwd: Python 3.11 performance with frame pointers

Hi,

As part of the proposal to enable frame pointers by default in Fedora
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/fno-omit-frame-pointer), we
did some benchmarking to figure out the expected performance impact.
The performance impact was generally minimal, except for the
pyperformance benchmark suite where we noticed a more substantial
difference between a system built with frame pointers and a system
built without frame pointers. The results can be found here:
https://github.com/DaanDeMeyer/fpbench (look at the mean difference
column for the pyperformance results where the percentage is the
slowdown compared to a system built without frame pointers). One of
the biggest slowdowns was on the scimark_sparse_mat_mult benchmark
which slowed down 9.5% when the system (including python) was built
with frame pointers. Note that these benchmarks were run against
Python 3.11 on a Fedora 37 x86_64 system (one built with frame
pointers, another built without frame pointers). The system used ... continue reading

[Python-ideas] Multiple arguments to str.partition and bytes.partition

Hi folks,

I'd like to gather some feedback on a feature suggestion to extend
str.partition and bytes.partition to support multiple arguments. Please find
the feature described below.

Feature or enhancement

The str.partition[1] method -- and similarly the bytes.partition[2] method --
is useful when dividing an input into subcomponents while returning a tuple of
deterministic length (currently 3) and potentially retaining the delimiters.

The feature described here adds support for multiple positional arguments to
those methods.

The first positional argument would be applied to the input instance that the
method is called from -- no change from existing behaviour.

Subsequent positional arguments would be applied to the rightmost component of
the previous application of the partition algorithm.

So, for example, in pseudocode:

Single-argument case (matching existing behaviour)

"foo:bar".partition(":")
# partition 'foo:bar' using ':'
- result = ['foo', ':', '... continue reading

Vulture - Find dead code

Vulture finds unused code in Python programs. This is useful for
cleaning up and finding errors in large code bases. If you run Vulture
on both your library and test suite you can find untested code.

Due to Python's dynamic nature, static code analyzers like Vulture are
likely to miss some dead code. Also, code that is only called
implicitly may be reported as unused. Nonetheless, Vulture can be a
very helpful tool for higher code quality.

[Python-Dev] Feature Suggestion: "repeat" statement in loops

Hi all,

i would like to suggest the following Python feature. It naturally
happens that one want's to repeat the current iteration of a for loop
for example after an error happened. For this purpose, I usually set a
flag and put a while loop inside my for loop. A simple "repeat"
statement just like "continue" or "break" would make the code much more
readable.

This is my solution at the moment with A being checked:

for _ in range(n):
    flag = True
    while flag:
        ...
        if A:
            flag = False # go to next iteration

I would suggest the repeat statement in the following sense

for _ in range(n):
    ...
    if not A:
        repeat # repeat current iteration

Notice the "not" in the if clause. I am really looking forwars to hear
your opinions.

Best regards

I was looking for a simple intuitive way to parse a timedelta from a string. The best I could find feels clunky at best: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4628122/

Solution 1 looks like this:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
t = datetime.strptime('05:20:25', '%H:%M:%S')
delta = timedelta(hours=t.hour, minutes=t.minute, seconds=t.second)

Solution 2 looks like this:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
t = datetime.strptime('05:20:25', '%H:%M:%S')
delta = t - datetime.combine(t.date(), time.min)

Solution 3 looks like this:

from datetime import timedelta
import re
match = re.match(r'(?P<hours>\d{2}):(?P<minutes>\d{2}):(?P<seconds>\d{2})', '05:20:25')
delta = timedelta(**match.groupdict())

Formatting back to strings is as verbose:

string = f'{delta.hours:02d}:{delta.minutes:02d}:{delta.seconds:02d}'

[Python-ideas] Proposal: -X importcache to supplement -X importtime for loaded modules

All,

I'm writing to propose an adjacent interpreter flag to -X importtime: -X importcache (open to alternative naming).

While -X importtime is incredibly useful for analyzing module import
times, by design, it doesn't log anything if an imported module has already
been loaded. -X importcache would provide additional output for every
module that's already been loaded:

>>> import uuid
import time: cached    | cached     |   _io
import time: cached    | cached     |   _io

[Python-Dev] Contributing the Pyston jit?

Hello all, we on the Pyston team would like to propose the contribution of
our JIT
https://github.com/pyston/pyston/blob/pyston\_main/Python/aot\_ceval\_jit.c into
CPython main. We're interested in some initial feedback on this idea before
putting in the work to rebase the jit to 3.12 for a PEP and more formal
discussion.

Our jit is designed to be simple and to generate code quickly, so we
believe it's a good point on the design tradeoff curve for potential
inclusion. The runtime behavior is intentionally kept almost completely the
same as the interpreter, just lowered to machine code and with
optimizations applied.

Our jit currently targets Python 3.7-3.10, and on 3.8 it achieves a 10%
speedup on macrobenchmarks (similar to 3.11). It's hard to estimate the
potential speedup of our jit rebased onto 3.12 because there is overlap
between what our jit does and the optimizations that have gone into the
interpreter since 3.8, but there are several optimizations that would be
additive wi... continue reading

[Python-announce] Cython 3.0 beta 1 is released

Hi all,

Cython 3.0 has left the alpha status – the first beta release is available
from PyPI.

https://cython.org/

https://pypi.org/project/Cython/

The changes in this release are huge – and the full list of improvements
compared to the 0.29.x release series is entirely incredible. Cython 3.0 is
better than any other Cython release before, in all aspects. It's much more
Python, integrates better with C++, supports more Python implementations
and configurations, provides many great new language features –
it's faster, safer and easier to use. It's simply better.

https://cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/changes.html#beta-1-2023-02-25

What is Cython?

In case you didn't hear about Cython before, it's the most widely used
statically optimising Python compiler out there. It translates Python (2/3)
code to C, and makes it as easy as Python itself to tune the code all the
way down into fast native code. If you have any non-trivial Python
application running, chances are you'll f... continue reading

[Python-ideas] Restricting access to sensitive APIs with a permission model like Deno

Hello all,

Supply chain attacks are becoming a pressing concern in software development due to the large number of dependencies and multiple attack vectors. Using third party modules (libraries, packages etc) is always a risk but the true potential of these attacks is now being weaponized. One way to deal with the risk is by limiting access to sensitive APIs like filesystem, shell, network and ffi so that packages which aren't explicitly granted permissions cannot use them, reducing their ability to do damage.

For example, a yaml parser should not need to use ffi, network nor shell. A command line argument parser library should not use network, ffi nor filesystem. Deno, a runtime for Typescript contains an interesting implementation of a permissions model for APIs.

I strongly think Python could benefit from such functionality and hacked together a quick experiment here: https://github.com/R9295/cpython
Currently, it only prevents module imports in a very elementary manner but perha... continue reading

A new SCons release, 4.5.0, is now available on the SCons download page:

https://scons.org/pages/download.html

Here is a summary of the changes since 4.4.0:

NOTE: If you build with Python 3.10.0 and then rebuild with 3.10.1 (or
higher), you may
see unexpected rebuilds. This is due to Python internals changing
which changed
the signature of a Python Action Function.

NOTE: If you use a dictionary to specify your CPPDEFINES, you may see an
unexpected rebuild.
The insertion order of dictionary keys is now preserved when
generating the command line.
Previously these were sorted alphabecially. This change to the
command line,
while generating identical set of CPPDEFINES can change order and
cause a rebuild.

NEW FUNCTIONALITY

are in either
those specified by SCons itself, or by AddOption() in

Rob Cliffe (rob.cliffe (a) btinternet.com)

[Python-ideas] Ampersand operator for strings

Tl;dr: Join strings together with exactly one space between non-blank
text where they join.

I propose a meaning for
    s1 & s2
where s1 and s2 are strings.
Namely, that it should be equivalent to
    s1.rstrip() + (' ' if (s1.strip() and s2.strip()) else '') +
s2.lstrip()
Informally, this will join the two strings together with exactly one space
between the last non-blank text in s1 and the first non-blank text in s2.
Example: " bar     " & "    foo        "        ==        " bar
foo        "

This operator is associative, so there is no ambiguity in expressions
such as
    s1 & s2 & s3
There is a possible ambiguity in expressions such as
    s1 & s2 + s3
where the relative precedence of & and + matters when s2 consists
solely of white space. E.g.
    " A " & " " + "     C" would evaluate
to     " A C"
not to " A     C"
because + has a higher precedence than '&'.

Utility:
In decades of experience with another language which had such an
operator

https://scons.org/pages/download.html

Here is a summary of the changes since 4.5.0:

FIXES

Fix a problem in 4.5.0 where using something like the following code
will cause a Clone()'d environment to share the CPPDEFINES with the
original Environment() which was cloned. Causing leakage of changes
to CPPDEFINES when they should be completely independent after the Clone.
env=Environment(CPPDEFINES=['a'])
env.Append(CPPDEFINES=['b']) (or AppendUnique,Prepend,PrependUnique)
env1=env.Clone()
env1.Append(CPPDEFINES=['c']) (or any other modification, but not
overwriting CPPDEFINES)

[Python-ideas] join() could add separators at start or end

Having had my last proposal shot down in flames, up I bob with another. 😁
It seems to me that it would be useful to be able to make the str.join()
function put separators, not only between the items of its operand, but
also optionally at the beginning or end.
E.g. '|'.join(('Spam', 'Ham', 'Eggs')) returns
    'Spam|Ham|Eggs'
but it might be useful to make it return one of
    '|Spam|Ham|Eggs'
    'Spam|Ham|Eggs|'
    '|Spam|Ham|Eggs|'
Again, I suggest that this apply to byte strings as well as strings.
Going through the 3.8.3 stdlib I have found
    24 examples where the separator needs to be added at the beginning
    52 where the separator needs to be added at the end
     4 where the separator needs to be added at the both ends
I list these examples below. Apologies if there are any mistakes.

While guessing is no substitute for measurement, it seems plausible that
using this feature
where appropriate would increase runtime performance by avoiding 1 (or
2) c... continue reading

[Python-ideas] Native support of YAML in Python STDLIB

Though this has been discussed before, the last detailed discussion appears to have been roughly 9 years ago.

YAML is a technical standard widely used in various projects and at least two major ones (Ansible and containers).

Though PyYAML has become ubiquitous as the primary Python solution to supporting YAML, I would think it time for Python to formally adopt this technology in the core foundation.

Is there still a reason why this isn't being pursued as native infrastructure in Python?

[Python-Dev] Debugging of native extensions on windows

Hello!

I am dropping this mail to bring up an issue which cost me three good

serious usability problem.

Gist of the problem: i have some C++ code wrapped with SWIG, so a native
extension. As with all software - there was a bug. However, no matter
what i did - i could not debug it in a native debugger. I ran
".venv/Scripts/python.exe script.py" in a native debugger and
breakpoints would not be hit, application would crash eventually. This
was especially confusing, because exact same setup worked just fine on
linux. I eventually stumbled on to process list showing
".venv/Scripts/python.exe" having spawned a subprocess... Which led me
to "PC/launcher.c" which is what ".venv/Scripts/python.exe" really is. I
cant find much information about this behavior in documentation even
after the fact. All in all, this was quite confusing. So now every time
i want to debug a native extension i have to start a program an... continue reading

ASPP2023: 15ᵗʰ Advanced Scientific Programming in Python

Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and
debugging software. While techniques for doing this efficiently have
evolved, only few scientists have been trained to use them. As
a result, instead of doing their research, they spend far too much
time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel. In this
course we will present a selection of advanced programming
techniques and best practices which are standard in the industry,
but especially tailored to the needs of a programming scientist.
Lectures are interactive and allow students to acquire direct
hands-on experience with the topics. Students will work in pairs
throughout the school and will team up to practice the newly learned
skills in a real programming project — an entertaining computer
game.

[Python-ideas] Bind/normalize params for @functools.cache

I was surprised to find, when I pass arguments to a function decorated with @functools.cache in different, equivalent ways, the cache does not recognize them as the same.

counter = itertools.count(1)

@functools.cache
def example(a, b, c=0):
    return (next(counter), a, b, c)

example(1, 2)  # => (1, 1, 2, 0)
example(1, b=2)  # => (2, 1, 2, 0)
example(1, 2, 0)  # => (3, 1, 2, 0)

When I wrote my own implementation as a coding exercise, I noticed the same weakness while testing it and solved that by having the decorator function get the signature of the decorated function, then use the bind method of the signature to bind the parameter values, then call the apply_defaults method on the bound arguments, and then finally, use the args and kwargs properties of the bound arguments to make the cache key.

It seems like functools.cache should do the same thing. If it is undesirable for that to be the default behavior, then it could be optional (e.g. @functools... continue reading

[Python-announce] unittest\_expander 0.4.4 released

Dear Pythonistas,

I am pleased to announce the release of unittest_expander 0.4.4.

The changelog is available at:
https://unittest-expander.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changes.html

unittest_expander is a MIT-licensed Python library that provides
flexible and easy-to-use tools to parameterize your unit tests,
especially those based on unittest.TestCase.

The library is compatible with Python 3.11, 3.10, 3.9, 3.8, 3.7, 3.6 and
2.7, and does not depend on any external packages (uses only the Python
standard library).

Simple usage example:

import unittest
from unittest_expander import expand, foreach, param

@expand
class TestSomething(unittest.TestCase):
    @foreach(
        'Foo',
        ('Foo', 43),
        param('Foo', spam=44),
        param(foo='Bar', spam=45).label('with bar'),
        empty=param(foo='', spam=46),
    )
    def test_it(self, foo, spam=42, label=None):
        assert foo in ('Foo', 'Bar', '')

[Python-announce] SCons 4.5.2 Released

A new SCons release, 4.5.2, is now available on the SCons download page:

https://scons.org/pages/download.html

Here is a summary of the changes since 4.5.1:

FIXES

Fix a problem (#4321) in 4.5.0/4.5.1 where ParseConfig could cause an
exception in MergeFlags when the result would be to add preprocessor
defines to existing CPPDEFINES. The following code illustrates the
circumstances that could trigger this:
env=Environment(CPPDEFINES=['a'])
env.Append(CPPDEFINES=['b'])
env.MergeFlags({'CPPDEFINES': 'c'})

PACKAGING

Remove the redundant wheel dependency from pyproject.toml,
as it is added automatically by the setuptools PEP517 backend.

Thanks to the following contributors listed below for their contributions
to this release.

[Python-ideas] C#-style "as" casting syntactic sugar for type hints

This is some real code I wrote the other day:
payload = {
"birthDate": str(date.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')),
...
}
Due to the fact that date.strftime returns Any type, for my type hinting
and autocomplete to work I either need to pass it to the str function or
typing.cast(str, date). It would be nice if I could just write "birthDate":
date.strftime(r'%m/%d/%Y') as str, like in C#. It's shorter, (in my
opinion) more readable, and avoids having to unnecessarily call
a constructor or import typing.cast.

It's important to note that this would be syntactic sugar for typing.cast—
it wouldn't call any constructor or affect program state, just increase the
power of the type hinting system.

[Python-announce] PyCA cryptography 40.0.0 released

PyCA cryptography 40.0.0 has been released to PyPI. cryptography
includes both high level recipes and low level interfaces to common
cryptographic algorithms such as symmetric ciphers, asymmetric
algorithms, message digests, X509, key derivation functions, and much
more. We support Python 3.6+, and PyPy3 7.3.10+.

Changelog (https://cryptography.io/en/latest/changelog/#v40-0-0):

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: As announced in the 39.0.0 changelog, the
way cryptography links OpenSSL has changed. This only impacts users
who build cryptography from source (i.e., not from a wheel), and
specify their own version of OpenSSL. For those users, the CFLAGS,
LDFLAGS, INCLUDE, LIB, and CRYPTOGRAPHY_SUPPRESS_LINK_FLAGS
environment variables are no longer valid. Instead, users need to
configure their builds as documented here.
Support for Python 3.6 is deprecated and will be removed in the next release.

[Python-ideas] An interface for `mro` methods similar to the interface for `iter`, `getattr`, etc...

Greetings Fellow Earthlings,

*In python 3.11, python has a number of built-in functions which act as an
Interface for magic dunder methods. Two examples of what I am talking about
are shown below: *

Begin Example 1 of 2

*rocky = object()x = getattr(rocky, "length") x = rocky.__getattr__("length") *

Begin Example 2 of 2

box = [1, 2, 3]it = iter(box) it = box.__iter__()

*My suggestion is that in future versions of python, we will have mro()
behave in a similar fashion. *

*obj = object()x = mro(obj) x = obj.__mro__() *

*Additionally, the class named object should have a method named
__mro__ and any class which inherits from object may override
__mro__ or inherit the default * *object* *.__mro__ . *

[Python-ideas] Make decorator-based context managers reentrant

Hi,

I was wondering why decorator-based context managers are not reentrant
or even reusable.

They could be made reusable by initializing the generator in __enter__()
instead of __init__(). They could be made reentrant by storing generatos
in a stack. A similar thing has been implemented for redirect_stdout in
8e113b418df7d0c8480e1e2de29a385e1f31b15b.

I understand that not all generator-based context managers can be
reentrant by their nature. But currently it is impossible to make them
reentrant, which IMHO is an unnecessary restriction.

I could find very little discussion on this. Are there any strong
reasons why it was implemented this way or should I create a pull
request to change it?

(My specific use case is a TUI application where I want to make sure
that the terminal is restored to a usable state on exit, but also need
to step in and out of the TUI on SIGTSTP/SIGCONT.)

thanks,
tobias

[Python-ideas] Auto dedent -c arguments.

I have what I think is a fairly low impact quality of life improvement to
suggest for the python CLI.

When I'm not working in Python I tend to be working in bash. But often I
want to break out and do something quick in Python. I find the python -c
CLI very useful for this. For one liners it's perfect. E.g.

NEW_VAR=$(python -c "import pathlib;
print(pathlib.Path('$MYVAR').parent.parent)")

And even if I want to do something multi-line it's pretty easy

NEW_VAR=$(python -c "
import pathlib
for _ in range(10):
print('this is a demo, bear with me')
")

But the problem is when I'm writing bash inside a function or some other
nested code, I would like to have nice indentation in my bash file, but if
I write something like this:

mybashfunc(){
python -c "
import pathlib
for _ in range(10):
print('this is a demo, bear with me')
"
}

I get IndentationError: unexpected indent.

This means I have to write the function ugly like this:

PEP 710: Recording the provenance of installed packages

This PEP describes a way to record the provenance of installed Python distributions. The record is created by an installer and is available to users in the form of a JSON file provenance_url.json in the .dist-info directory. The mentioned JSON file captures additional metadata to allow recording a URL to a :term:distribution package together with the installed distribution hash. This proposal is built on top of PEP 610 following :ref:its corresponding canonical PyPA spec and complements direct_url.json with provenance_url.json for when packages are identified by a name, and optionally a version.

[Python-ideas] XDG Directory Support for PDB

Hello,

I don't really use the Python debugger all that much, but recently I used it
quite a bit for a small side-project. That said, it kept annoying me that there
were no history associated with the prompt, so I added a few lines to the
pdbrc config file to store that for me. However, it seems like this file must
either exist in the user home directory, or the current working directory,
neither of which were very convenient for me.

Additionally, I strongly dislike polluting my home directory with dotfiles, thus
I did a bit of researching to see if this could be fixed. Thus, below is a small
patch to PDB that adds support for also reading from configuration files in
some XDG directories (currently ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/python/pdbrc).

So I guess the question is, would anyone else find this useful enough to the
point were I should write a PEP for it? As far as I can tell, Python haven't
been using the XDG directories, so I suppose the naming of the subdirectory
is really subject ... continue reading

[Python-announce] [Python announce] unexpected-isaves 2.1.2 released!

A quick scroll through social media and you'll find very talented people
making portraits out of dice, rubik's cube, in minecraft as pixel art, or
even using MIDI notes on a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). This package
gives you the ability to do the same, with or without talent. Currently it
can only generate arts using minecraft, the cells of a spreadsheet, ascii
characters, or rubik's cubes, but if you have any ideas that fit into the
project's goal please let me know
https://github.com/Eric-Mendes/unexpected-isaves/issues/10, or - even
better - submit a merge request with your work!

We had a couple of major bugs that were patched this month. They were a
problem for generating Minecraft datapacks.
We apologize for the nearly 17 thousand people that use our package. We
don't have a very good and automatized testing suite and these bugs were
silent. Help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Anyway, everything should be working now.

[Python-announce] PyEmpaq 0.3 released

I'm happy to announce the release of PyEmpaq 0.3.

PyEmpaq is a simple but powerful Python packer to run any project with
any virtualenv dependencies anywhwere.

With PyEmpaq you can convert any Python project into a single .pyz
file with all the project's content packed inside.

That single file is everything that needs to be distributed. When the
final user executes it, the original project will be expanded, its
dependencies installed in a virtualenv, and then executed. Note that
no special permissions or privileges are required, as everything
happens in the user environment.

Both the packaging and the execution are fully multiplatorm. This
means that you can pack a project in Linux, Windows, Mac or whatever,
and it will run ok in Linux, Windows, Mac or whatever. The only
requirement is Python to be already installed.

What's new in this version?

Added 'include' and 'exclude' configuration options to have full
control on what is inside the packed file.
Reuse the existing pr... continue reading

[Python-ideas] Protocols Subclassing Normal Classes

We have a large codebase which uses threads. Many - but not all - of these
threads implement a method named 'stop()' which sets a flag, triggers an
event, closes a connection, or what-have-you in order to command the thread
in question to terminate.

I was writing a thread manager, intended to automatically terminate threads
in an organized way at shutdown. It could accept any thread which
implemented a 'stop()' method, so how could I type-hint it correctly?
'Aha!' said I, 'This is what those newfangled Protocol things are for! I
shall use one of them!' (We only recently updated from 3.7 to 3.11, so
quite a lot of features are still 'newfangled' to me.)

However, I then encountered an issue: I could define a Protocol that
specified the 'stop()' method easily enough, but if I annotated the manager
as taking that, it would accept any class which implemented a method
named 'stop()', which was not correct; the manager should only accept
threads which implement such a method. I couldn't... continue reading

[Python-ideas] Allowing `str.format` to format one or more parameters instead of all parameters

Consider the following string:

x = r"\mathjax{{color}}{{text}}"

string x contains two parameters named color and the other named text.

Currently, python requires that the string class method str.format contain
key-word arguments for *all *parameters, not just one parameter

result = r"\mathjax{{color}}{{text}}".format(color = "blue" , text = "Spanish")

result = "\mathjax{blue}{Spanish}"

Can we change str.format so that it is possible to change only one
string parameter, but leave the other parameters alone?

pfr is partially_formatted_result

pfr = r"\mathjax{{color}}{{text}}".format(color = "blue") #
ERROR! missing parameter text

result = r"\mathjax{{color}}{{text}}".format(text = "Spanish") #
ERROR! missing parameter color

The implementation requires fewer than ten lines of code in python,
probably less than fifty lines in C, or a different implementation
language.

[Python-ideas] new PEP: implementation independent native code invocation and data exchange ABI standard (not sure if accurate)

Dear All

Python is a "glue" language, its dynamic nature has programming advantage and performance disadvantage.

The best way to use Python is write Python code for high-level stuff and use native programming language like C, Rust, Zig, V for low level stuff. Currently, there is library like PyO3 and so on.

However there is a lot of limitation in those library.

The "FFI" library is implementation specific. For example, PyO3, it highly depend on specific version of CPython. If you use a different version of CPython, there is some work for you to do. If you don't use CPython, for example use another Python Implementation, This framework may not work.
The project structure is rigid. When using something like PyO3. you must make your project structure following certain pattern, then finally produce a complete wheel package. The majority Python programmer does not write a whole Python project for a installable package and pack it up then install it. They are edit Python source file ... continue reading

PEP 713: Callable Modules

Modules are currently not directly callable. Classes can define a __call__ method that makes instance objects callable, but defining a similarly named function in the global module scope has no effect, and that function can only be called by importing or referencing it directly as module.__call__. PEP 562 added support for :meth:~object.__getattr__ and :meth:~object.__dir__ for modules, but defining __getattr__ to return a value for __call__ still does not make a module callable.

[Python-ideas] Make ellipsis an indicator of missing implementation

In examples in the web very often we see unfinished or partial code,
where the ellipsis "..." is used in place of missing instructions.

Idea: make ellipsis used in that context throw an exception, reminding
the user that this code is work in progress.

The exception could be called ToDoError, or WorkInProgressError, or
simply EllipsisError, and could be derived from NotImplementedError.


def my_fun():
    ... # todo

my_fun()

 > WorkInProgressError: Implementation of `my\_fun` is not finished.

This change could break some code, as for now ellipsis in the middle of
code is silently ignored, but I don't think anybody seriously relies on
that behavior.

[Python-ideas] Thoughts on allowing Path objects in shlex.join

At the moment, shlex.join raises

TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object

when given pathlib.Path objects. Since subprocess.run and related subprocess commands allow Path since Python 3.6 and 3.8 for Windows, it seems intuitive to me that shlex.join be able to handle paths as well. This has been briefly discussed before on the bug tracker (issue 89293, link below), but with the caveat that it was the wrong venue, and should be brought up on this list instead. That said, I can't find any record that it ever made it over here, but I am curious to get this community's perspective.

My understanding of arguments against in that discussion were that shlex.join should not implicitly convert its arguments to strings, and that Path objects were not special enough for an exception. However (and as noted over there), subprocess takes the exact opposite approach, and has an explicit isinstance check to allow and convert os.PathLike objects. I'm assuming that... continue reading

profiling process will materialize a few optimizations of Python 3.11,
including lazily-created frame objects and object managed dicts. This

[Python-ideas] Mark a set of keys of a TypedDict as incompatible

I have a couple of {{{TypedDict}}}s for use in type hinting that are supposed to have some sets of incompatible keys.

For example, if I need to specify that a particular {{{dict}}} can have {{{bar}}} or {{{baz}}} but not both of them, I can write two {{{TypedDict}}}s:

{{{#!highlight python
from typing import TypedDict

class Foo1(TypedDict):
bar: str

class Foo2(TypedDict):
baz: int

Foo = Foo1 | Foo2

foo_instance_1: Foo = { # Works fine
'bar': 'foobar'
}
foo_instance_2: Foo = { # Also fine
'baz': 42
}

foo_instance_3: Foo = { # Warning: Expected type 'Foo1 | Foo2', got 'dict[str, str | int]' instead
'bar': 'foobar',
'baz': 42
}
}}}

However, this doesn't scale very well if I were to have multiple sets; for example, a simple multiplication shows that three sets of 2, 3 and 4 keys each will result in 24 {{{TypedDict}}}s. A solution would be:

With pytest-mock you can define the complex mocking behavior via natural interface:

when(some_object, "attribute").called_with(1, 2).then_return("mocked")

In this case the some_object.attribute(1, 2) == "mocked". But if it will be called with any other
arguments, it will return what it is suppose to return.

Project GitHub:
https://github.com/zhukovgreen/pytest-when
zhukovgreen/pytest-when: Pytest plugin for more readable mocking
github.com

Support python>=3.8 and tested until 3.11

Small example from the docs:

class which we're going to mock in the test

class Klass1:
def some_method(
self,
arg1: str,
arg2: int,
*,
kwarg1: str,
kwarg2: str,
) -> str:

[Python-ideas] Virtual packages

Python allows setting __path__ to turn a module into a package. However,
it's allegedly only defined for __init__.py?

Proposal:

A virtual package is a non-__init__.py whose first line of code, after
comments and future imports, assigns to __path__.

This would allow -m virtualpackage to call virtualpackage.__main__,
wherever that is. Instead of running virtualpackage.py as __main__.

[Python-ideas] Keyword argument support for exec/eval?

I have searched for chatter about this in the past, and realize that churning about on this topic might be a bit of a time waster, but what would be required to make eval and exec be able to take keyword arguments?

Explaining exec and eval, and not being able to use kwargs to establish an ordering (especially when the docs talk about defaults) is not great IMO.

Has there been discussion in the past on when adding kwarg support for existing functions becomes a thing that patches are accepted for?

Dom Grigonis (dom.grigonis (a) gmail.com)

[Python-ideas] Undefined type

This has been bugging me for a long time. It seems that python doesn’t have a convention for “Undefined” type.

When I started using python I naturally used None for it (as advised).

However, the more I work with python, the more I find that None is a meaningful type. And it is a type that is convenient to use in a lot of cases, where it is not actually “None”.

One big example is:
numpy: array[None, :]

Another is simple cascading of defaults.
E.g.

class A:
    def __init__(self, default=’string'):
        self.default = default

    def method(self, default=None):
        default = default if default is not None else self.default
	dct[‘key’] = other_dict.get(‘key’, default)
        return to_json(dct)

None has a logic in some_func, which is important.
Now if I want to enforce None passed to to_json I have no way to do it.

I know there are many workarounds for this, but there is no consistent way of doing this.

I have been using Ellipsis in the past, but it doe... continue reading

[Python-ideas] Explicit encapsulation is better than implicit hardcoding?

Hey there! I'm curious to know what this group thinks about the implicit design of many Python libraries, both core and open source. What I mean by "implicit design" is when an interface of library is established and initialised at module’s level rather than explicitly encapsulated in classes.

Couple of the examples:

logging
asyncio

Both of the libraries (by design) allow only 1 framework per process, which can be limiting. Although it's easier to hack the logging library to obtain an independent hierarchy with separate root node, it's a bit more challenging to obtain a separate asyncio loop.

Allowing users to instantiate a fresh instance of framework would be advantageous in various ways:

"Explicit is better than implicit" - easier to understand, inherit, and edit.
The ability to instantiate multiple framework nodes leads in a modifiable, therefore easier to comprehend workflow. For example, having separate logging and asyncio on a thread would provide for greater desi... continue reading

[Python-ideas] Warn when iterating over an already exhausted generator

This is my first post to this list, apologies in advance if this is the wrong place or it's a known topic that my search failed to find.

As a Python user since 2.6, I make stupid mistakes with exhausted generators more often than I'd like to admit:

numbers = (i for i in range(5))
assert 5 not in numbers
sorted(numbers)

[]

Then the empty list creates hard-to-track bugs. I'm familiar with the iterator protocol and why the behavior above happens, but couldn't it be prevented? A naive example of the behavior I wish it had:

class SafeGenerator:
def __init__(self, generator):
self.generator = generator
self.is_exhausted = False

def \_\_iter\_\_(self):
    if self.is\_exhausted:
        raise ValueError("can't iterate over an already exhausted generator")
    return self

def \_\_next\_\_(self):
    try:
        return next(self.generator)

[Python-ideas] List get/pop

Very simple proposal.

E.g.

>>> l = [‘a’, ‘b’]
>>> l.get(0)
‘a’
>>> l.get(2)
None
>>> l.pop(1, default=‘c’)
‘b’
>>> l.pop(1, default=‘c’)
‘c'

Essentially to match them to those of a dict.
Current workarounds:

try:
   a = b[n]
except IndexError:
   a = default

# and

l[index] if -len(l) <= index < len(l) else default

Benefits:

Convenience
Easy to remember API methods for anyone used to a dict
Speed improvements given it’s implemented in C
Time saving!
It took me around 7seconds to type 2nd snippet without auto-complete.

So following Chris’ logic...
If there are 10,000,000 python users on Stack…
And we assume, that every user encounters such need at least 2 times a year (being very speculative here, would say conservative?).
Saving on typing and correcting above snippet is 5sec (conservative here?).
That’s ~600 days of pure code writing time saved every year.
In 100 years, which python will obviously survive - that’s ~16.5 years of pure code typing time sa... continue reading

[Python-announce] pyparsing 3.1.0 released

After several alpha and beta releases, I've finally pushed out version 3.1.0 of pyparsing. Here are the highlights:

NOTE: In the future release 3.2.0, use of many of the pre-PEP8 methods (such as ParserElement.parseString) will start to raise DeprecationWarnings. 3.2.0 should get released some time later in 2023. I currently plan to completely drop the pre-PEP8 methods in pyparsing 4.0, though we won't see that release until at least late 2023 if not 2024. So there is plenty of time to convert existing parsers to the new function names before the old functions are completely removed. (Big help from Devin J. Pohly in structuring the code to enable this peaceful transition.)

Version 3.2.0 will also discontinue support for Python versions 3.6 and 3.7.

Randolf Scholz (randolf.scholz (a) gmail.com)

[Python-ideas] [dataclasses] add a NON\_FIELDS sentinel after which all attributes are ignored.

Dataclasses should provide a way to ignore a type hinted attributes, and not consider them as fields.

For example, some attributes might be derived during __post_init__ from the values of the fields or other variables.

If one wants to still type hint these attributes, one has to awkward workarounds to avoid having dataclass interpret them as fields. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76532816)

I propose NON_FIELDS sentinel, analogous to KW_ONLY. (alternative name suggestions welcome). when writing a dataclass, all attributes after this sentinel are ignored and not considered fields.

@dataclass
class Foo:
    field0: int
    field1: int

    _: KW_ONLY

   fieldN: int

    _: NON_FIELDS

    attr0: int   # @dataclass will ignore this type hint.

Additionally one could consider adding an attribute typing construct, such that attr0: attribute[int] would mark it as a non-field attribute.

[Python-ideas] dict method to retrieve a key from a value

A dict method to retrieve the key of a value from a bijective dict would have come in handy to me in several occasions:

names = {'one': 1}
names.inverse()[1]
'one'
names = {'one': 1, 'uno': 1}
names.inverse()[1]
ValueError: dict is not bijective

My usual use case is when both keys and values have simple types like int/str, like:

{
'account-a': 123,
'account-b': 456,
}

Users may enter the account name, or the ID. The system works with the account ID (translating from the account name if needed), but when it needs to mention the account to the user, it shows the account name instead.

I do understand that retrieval wouldn't be O(1).

[Python-ideas] else without except

As most of you probably know, you can use else with try blocks:

try:
do_stuff()
except SomeExceptionClass:
handle_error()
else:
no_error_occurred()

Here, no_error_occurred will only be called if do_stuff() didn't raise an
exception.

However, the following is invalid syntax:

try:
do_stuff()
else:
no_error_occurred()

Now you might say that this isn't needed as you can achieve the same result
with

do_stuff()
no_error_occurred()

However, what if I want to use finally as well:

try:
do_stuff()
else:
no_error_occurred()
finally:
cleanup()

and I need no_error_occurred to be called before cleanup? For my actual
use case, I've done

try:
do_stuff()
except Exception:
raise
else:
no_error_occurred()
finally:
cleanup()

This seems very non-Pythonic. Is there a reason why else without except
has to be invalid syntax?

This is to announce the release of salabim 23.2.0 .
Salabim is a discrete event simulation package that has applications in
logistics, communications, production, mining, hospital operations, etc.
It supports powerful realtime 2D and 3D animations, monitoring, statistical
sampling functions, ...
In contrast to SimPy, salabim is build around dynamic objects (components)

Up to now, that was done with generator functions (coroutines), like
class Car(sim.Component):
def process(self):
yield self.hold(5)
pump.activate()

Python has the "star" ("*") operator for multiplication. In the context of collections it is supposed to mean element-wise multiplication. Its associated operator is __mul__. It also has the double star ("**") operator for exponentiation, which is repeated multiplication. Its associated operator is __exp__.In addition to that Python has the "at" ("@") operator for multiplication. In the context of collections it should mean linear product, like matrix times a matrix, or matrix times vector. Its associated method is __matmul__.For completeness we should now have the exponentiation operator meaning repeated application of the "at" operator. Its method could me __matexp__.

[Python-ideas] Proposal for get\_or function in Python dictionaries

Hi everyone,

I would like to briefly present my idea regarding the get function commonly used with dictionaries. When working with large amounts of JSON data, I often encounter code that doesn't feel very Pythonic to me.

Problem Statement:

The get function allows chaining of method calls, which is quite useful when working with dictionaries. It also has a convenient default parameter that returns a default value if the key is not found in the dictionary. This feature makes it safe and easy to use. However, problems arise when the dictionary contains the key we are accessing, but the corresponding value is None. In such cases, subsequent get calls fail because the get method belongs to objects of type dict and not None. To address this, I propose adding a new parameter to the get function or introducing a new function called get_or that swiftly handles this issue. This new parameter, called arbitrary, would accept an arbitrary value to be returned by... continue reading

[Python-announce] PyEmpaq 0.4 released

I'm happy to announce the release of PyEmpaq 0.4.

PyEmpaq is a simple but powerful Python packer to run any project with
any virtualenv dependencies anywhwere.

With PyEmpaq you can convert any Python project into a single .pyz
file with all the project's content packed inside.

That single file is everything that needs to be distributed. When the
final user executes it, the original project will be expanded, its
dependencies installed in a virtualenv, and then executed. Note that
no special permissions or privileges are required, as everything
happens in the user environment.

Both the packaging and the execution are fully multiplatorm. This
means that you can pack a project in Linux, Windows, MacOS or
whatever, and it will run ok in Linux, Windows, MacOS or whatever. The
only requirement is Python to be already installed.

What's new in this version?

Remove the installation if ephemeral behaviour is indicated

[Python-Dev] Some pattern annoyance

Hi folks,

I just used Structural Pattern Matching quite intensively and I'm
pretty amazed of the new possibilities.

But see this code, trying to implement Mark Pilgrim's regex
algorithm for roman literals with SPM:

With constants, I can write

 match seq:
     case "M", "M", "M", "M", *r:
         return 4 * 1000, r

But if I want to use abbreviations by assignment, this is no longer
possible, and I have to write something weird like:

 M = "M"
 match seq:
     case a, b, c, d, *r if M == a == b == c == d:
         return 4 * 1000, r

So what is missing seems to be a notion of const-ness, which
could be dynamically deduced. Am I missing something?

[Python-announce] RSFile v2.2 released

Dear pythoneers,

I'm pleased to announce a little update of the RSFile I/O Library,
bringing support for recent Python versions.

RSFile provides drop-in replacements for io classes and for the open()
builtin.

Its goal is to provide a cross-platform, reliable, and comprehensive
synchronous file I/O API, with advanced
features like fine-grained opening modes, shared/exclusive file record
locking, thread-safety, cache synchronization,
file descriptor inheritability, and handy stat getters (size, inode,
times...).

Possible use cases for this library: write to logs concurrently without
ending up with garbled data,
manipulate sensitive data like disk-based databases, synchronize
heterogeneous producer/consumer
processes when multiprocessing semaphores aren't an option...

Unix users might particularly be interested by the workaround that this
library provides, concerning
the weird semantic of fcntl() locks (when any descriptor to a disk file
is closed, the process loses ALL
lock... continue reading

[Python-announce] Django-Compat-Patcher 0.12 released

Hello everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the release of Django-Compat-Patcher 0.12, which
now includes 86 compatibility shims ranging from Django 1.6 to 4.2

If your Django project is incompatible with handy pluggable apps, or if
you reach the depths of dependency hell when attempting to mass-upgrade
your packages, no panic!

Just drop this django compatibility patcher into your project, and keep
your developments going forward, while dependency conflicts are slowly
sorted out in bugtrackers.

As a proof-of-concept, the Pychronia alternate reality portal
(https://github.com/ChrysalisTeam/pychronia) is kept perfectly
functional on Django 4.2, while still having Django 1.10 constructs like
"views as dotted strings" (but don't do that for your own projects of
course, alternative tools like django-compat or django-codemod will help
you migrate your own codebase).

Enjoy your decade-long backward compatibility, and get in touch if some
compatibility shims are missing for you.

[Python-announce] ANN: NumExpr 2.8.5

Hi everyone,

In 2.8.5 we have added a new function, validate which checks an
expression ex
for validity, for usage where the program is parsing a user input. There
are also
consequences for this sort of usage, since eval(ex) is called, and as
such we
do some string sanitization as described below.

Project documentation is available at:

Changes from 2.8.4 to 2.8.5

A validate function has been added. This function checks the inputs,
returning
None on success or raising an exception on invalid inputs. This
function was
added as numerous projects seem to be using NumExpr for parsing user
inputs.
re_evaluate may be called directly following validate.
As an addendum to the use of NumExpr for parsing user inputs, is that
NumExpr
calls eval on the inputs. A regular expression is now applied to help
sanitize
the input expression string, forbidding '__', ':', and ';'. Attri... continue reading

[Python-announce] NumPy 1.26.0b1 released

Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy
1.26.0b1. The NumPy 1.26.0 release is a continuation of the 1.25.x release
cycle with the addition of Python 3.12.0 support. Python 3.12 dropped
distutils, consequently supporting it required finding a replacement for
the setup.py/distutils based build system NumPy was using. We have chosen
to use the Meson build system instead, and this is the first NumPy release
supporting it. This is also the first release that supports Cython 3.0 in
addition to retaining 0.29.X compatibility. Supporting those two upgrades
was a large project, over 100 files have been touched in this release. The
changelog doesn't capture the full extent of the work, special thanks to
Ralf Gommers, Sayed Adel, Stéfan van der Walt, and Matti Picus who did much
of the work in the main development branch.

magic-wormhole is a library and command-line tool which makes it possible to _securely_ and _easily_ get arbitrary-sized files and directories (or short pieces of text) from one computer to another.

[Python-ideas] factory for sentinel objects

The standard pattern to create a sentinel in Python is

Unset = object()

While this is often good enough, it has some shortcomings:

repr(Unset) is unhelpful: <object at 0x1ded9911b60>
copy/deepcopy create a copy of the sentinel object, which can lead to surprising results such as:

d = {'val': Unset}
d['val'] is Unset
True
d2 = copy.deepcopy(d)
d2['val'] is Unset
False
The code "Unset = object()" is quite obscure for people not familiar with the sentinel pattern.

I propose to provide a sentinel() factory function so that

Unset = sentinel("Unset")
repr(unset)
<Unset>
copy.copy(Unset) is Unset
True
copy.deepcopy(Unset) is Unset
True

A simple implementation would be something like

def sentinel(name):
return type(name, (), {
'__repr__': lambda self: f"<{self.__class__.__name__}>",
'__copy__': lambda self: self,
'__deepcopy__': lambda self, memo: self,
})

[Python-announce] svcs: A Flexible Service Locator

Greetings,

I’m very happy to announce that the first stable version 23.20.0 of my svcs (read: services) package is up on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/svcs/

I have spent the past months trial-and-erroring, talking to everybody who wouldn't run away, and writing docs. So many docs.

I’ve put that effort into it because I find it life-changing for writing web applications and I REALLY want y’all understand WHY.

When talking to people, two patterns repeated themselves:

The average company has 3.5 half-baked implementations of svcs.
People either get very excited or very indifferent.

The pattern it implements is called a service locator, but in most cases it’s just a convenient abstraction for plucking runtime-dependencies (correctly: SERVICES) from request objects + lifecycle features like instantiation/cleanups + introspection + better testability.

While implementing it, I've also noticed how incredibly muddy and overloaded the vernacular around these topics i... continue reading

[Python-announce] NumPy 1.26.0rc1 released

Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy
1.26.0rc1. The NumPy 1.26.0 release is a continuation of the 1.25.x release
cycle with the addition of Python 3.12.0 support. Python 3.12 dropped
distutils, consequently supporting it required finding a replacement for
the setup.py/distutils based build system NumPy was using. We have chosen
to use the Meson build system instead, and this is the first NumPy release

addition to retaining 0.29.X compatibility. Supporting those two upgrades

[Python-ideas] Extract variable name from itself

As far as I understand, it is not possible. Is it?

Something similar to:

var = 710
variable_name = [k for k, v in locals().items() if v == 710][0]
print("Your variable name is " + variable_name)

,except robust.

Possible ways to expose it:

builtin function varname(obj: object) —> str
object.__varname__ dunder (this one wouldn’t clutter general namespace)

I am working on some code and just got to the point where it seems I could make use of it. The case is as follows:

What I do now:

def make\_something(self, a=None):
    a = a if a is not None else self.defaults.get('a')

Samuel Freilich (sfreilich (a) google.com)

[Python-ideas] Reconstructing datetime from microsecond timestamp

datetime.datetime has microsecond precision, and if you want to reconstruct
a datetime from microseconds since the Unix epoch in a provided timezone,
you can do:

(datetime(1970, 1, 1, tzinfo=timezone.utc) +
timedelta(microseconds=timestamp_us)).astimezone(tz)

This is a general solution, but it constructs two extra datetimes and a
timedelta on the way. datetime.fromtimestamp could bring that to just the
one, but it takes float seconds, so there's no way to avoid losing
precision (for far enough date in the future, but well short of datetime.max).
One solution is to handle the micros separately:

datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp_us // 1000000,
tz).replace(microsecond=timestamp_us % 1000000)

This still requires constructing two datetimes, and it bakes in an
assumption that the timezone offset doesn't affect and isn't affected by
the millisecond component. (Which probably is the case! I think.)

This might all be too much thought about edge cases that don't matter, but
given the *_n... continue reading

It can be used to obtain statistical profiling data out of a running Python application without a single line of instrumentation. This means that you can start profiling a Python application straight away, even while it's running in a production environment, with minimal impact on performance.

https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin/blob/master/ChangeLog

The main highlights of the new release are the support for Python 3.12, and the support for sub-interpreters.

More details about what's new and bug-fixes can be found in the change-log

Installing Austin on your system is now easier than ever, thanks to it being available from PyPI. Simply run

pip install austin-dist

on any supported combination of architecture and platform and the Austin binaries are ready for you to... continue reading

[Python-Dev] detecting statements which result is not stored

Hi Python Developers, after some investigation i consider dev the correct
mailing list.
I got python embedded into OpenSCAD and i'd like to make more use out of it.

statements like these do exactly what they should:

width= 3*5
solid = make_nice_solid(width)
other_solid = solid.size(1)
print(" Everything fine")

But i'd like to be able to write lines like these: These are expressions
which create a value,
which is apparently NOT stored in a variable

solid *3
other_solid - solid

instead of wasting them, I'd like to collect them in an array and display
send it to the display engine
after python evaluation has finished.

Is there some way how i can collect the orphaned expressions ?

[Python-announce] Vulture 2.10

Vulture - Find dead code

Vulture finds unused code in Python programs. This is useful for
cleaning up and finding errors in large code bases. If you run Vulture
on both your library and test suite you can find untested code.

Due to Python's dynamic nature, static code analyzers like Vulture are
likely to miss some dead code. Also, code that is only called
implicitly may be reported as unused. Nonetheless, Vulture can be a
very helpful tool for higher code quality.

Features

fast: uses static code analysis
tested: tests itself and has complete test coverage
complements pyflakes and has the same output syntax
sorts unused classes and functions by size with --sort-by-size

[Python-ideas] Non-aware operators PEP505

Hi all,

Just want to follow up on discussions from before by saying that I came to a conclusion that from my POV non-aware operators would be an excellent addition to python.

The number of times that I need to write:
pal = None if self.pal is None else self.pal.rgb_to_cmy()
or alternatively:
pal = None
if self.pal is None:
pal = self.pal.rgb_to_cmy()
is still fairly high.

The first one is one-line, but its readability is, although not the worst, but is not satisfactory in the context of other practices I have employed.

The second one has good readability, but it takes 3 lines for operation, which I think shouldn’t take more than 1 line.

——

Now following up on my thoughts on deferred evaluation this case could be solved by its side effect, which is allowing user to control evaluation order. However, I think it would be more suitable for corner cases and more complex tool building due to its verbosity and readability, which I think would be better than many corner-case hack... continue reading

I'm sick of seeing "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute

re.match(pattern, string, require=True) would either return a match or

[Python-announce] TatSu v5.9.0 - PEG parser generator

竜 TatSu is a tool that takes grammars in a variation of EBNF as input, and
outputs memoizing (Packrat) PEG parsers in Python.

Why use a PEG parser? Because regular languages (those parsable with
Python's re package) "cannot count". Any input with nested structures or
with balancing of demarcations requires more than regular expressions to be
parsed.

竜 TatSu can compile a grammar stored in a string into a
tatsu.grammars.Grammar object that can be used to parse any given input,
much like the re module does with regular expressions, or it can generate
a Python module that implements the parser.

On this release:

[Python-Dev] Retiring this mailing list ?

Hello everyone,

for quite a while now, core discussions have moved to Discourse and
people are obviously enjoying things there:

https://discuss.python.org/c/core-dev/23

The Discourse mailing list mode works reasonably well, so is a suitable
replacement for this mailing list.

Posts to this list are now mostly spam, mailer error reports and the
occasional release postings:

https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/latest
(you can't see much of the spam, since we filter most of it)

Question: Should we retire and archive this mailing list ?
(I'm asking as one of the maintainers of the ML)

Thanks,

Marc-Andre Lemburg

[Python-announce] Announcement: TLSSysLogHandler added on PyPI

A new package for extending SysLogHandler with TLS support has been added on PyPI [1].
Modern syslog servers such as rsyslog, syslog-ng and OpenBSD's syslogd have TLS support for secure remote logging. Unfortunately the core python SysLogHandler does not have this functionality yet.
TLSSysLogHandler extends the SysLogHandler instead of a re-implementation and allows specifying a new "secure" parameter, which enables using TLS with TCP.
The hope is to get TLS functionality into core SysLogHandler after this package is stable.
The discussion is present on the forum's [2].

[Python-ideas] Abstract dataclasses and dataclass fields

I am finding that it would be useful to be able to define a dataclass that is an abstract base class and define some of its field as abstract.

As I am typing this, I realize that I could presumably write some code to implement what I'm asking for. Maybe it is a good enough idea to make part of the standard API in any case though? I'm thinking that a field would be made abstract by passing abstract=True as an argument to dataclasses.field().

[Python-announce] [v2.2.0] unexpected-isaves just released!

I've been reading about SOLID principles and used this knowledge to
refactor 2 out of the 4 functions provided in PyPi's unexpected-isaves, and
this amounted to a ~1.3x speedup, even though making things run faster was
not my first intention. I just wanted to make the project better for the
new stargazers arriving. This shows the importance of good and simple code.

[Python-announce] structlog 23.3.0

I’m happy to announce a new release of structlog!

With more than 7 million downloads per month, structlog is the best solution for production-ready structured logging in Python. It doesn’t just allow you to log key-value pairs in a structured manner, it also makes it EASIER and FASTER. Check out https://www.structlog.org/en/stable/why.html if you’re intrigued but not convinced!

My heartfelt thanks go to my generous GitHub sponsors https://github.com/sponsors/hynek and companies subscribing to structlog on Tidelift https://tidelift.com/subscription/pkg/pypi-structlog.

That's the support that made me maintain structlog for almost a decade with no end in sight! <3

[Python-announce] attrs 23.2.0

I’m happy to announce a new release of attrs!

attrs is the direct ancestor of – and the inspiration for – dataclasses in the standard library and remains the more powerful toolkit for creating regular classes without getting bogged down with writing repetitive boilerplate code: https://www.attrs.org/

(alternatively, see https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/releases/ for a richer-formatted version of the following)

Highlights

Mostly typing fixes in this release, but I'm excited that we found a workaround to make functools.cached_property work with slotted classes! Also, I'm sure there's gonna be fans of the new behavior of __attrs_pre_init__ where it receives all arguments passed to __init__ if it accepts more than self.

with some other features and bugfixes.

Note that Nikola v8.3.0 no longer uses the Yapsy plugin manager,

but there might be issues if your plugins have an unusual structure

[Python-announce] Vulture 2.11

Vulture - Find dead code

Vulture finds unused code in Python programs. This is useful for
cleaning up and finding errors in large code bases. If you run Vulture
on both your library and test suite you can find untested code.

Due to Python's dynamic nature, static code analyzers like Vulture are
likely to miss some dead code. Also, code that is only called
implicitly may be reported as unused. Nonetheless, Vulture can be a
very helpful tool for higher code quality.

[Python-announce] PyDev 12.0.0 Released

PyDev 12.0.0 Release Highlights

Debugger

sys.monitoring is now used in Python 3.12 (and it's much faster
than any previous version).
- A new setting was added in the Preferences > PyDev > Debug to
  debug just my code (meaning that when stepping it will just step
  into files under PyDev source folders).
- Improved the step into function (activated with Ctrl+Alt then Click
  function to step into).
- Support for Python 3.6 and 3.7 was dropped (only Python 3.8 onwards
  is now supported).

Ruff

Ruff can now be used as a code formatter.
- The latest ruff (0.1.x) is now supported (as it broke backward
  compatibility in its 0.1.0 version).

Code Analysis

Fixes in semantic analysis to better determine if strings in
annotations should be checked for symbols or not.

Note: Only Python 3.8 onwards is now supported

Python 3.6 and 3.7 support... continue reading

PEP 742: Narrowing types with TypeNarrower

This PEP proposes a new special form, TypeNarrower, to allow annotating functions that can be used to narrow the type of a value, similar to the builtin isinstance(). Unlike the existing typing.TypeGuard special form, TypeNarrower can narrow the type in both the if and else branches of a conditional.

ASPP2024: 16ᵗʰ Advanced Scientific Programming in Python Summer School

https://aspp.school

Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and debugging software. While techniques for doing this efficiently have evolved, only few scientists have been trained to use them. As a result, instead of doing their research, they spend far too much time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel. In this course we will present a selection of advanced programming techniques and best practices which are standard in the industry, but especially tailored to the needs of a programming scientist. Lectures are interactive and allow students to acquire direct hands-on experience with the topics. Students will work in pairs throughout the school and will team up to practice the newly learned skills in a real programming project — an entertaining computer game.

Get rid of SQL strings
Get rid of SQL strings
Use package resources to store what would otherwise be SQL strings

While we cannot prevent someone from going out of their way to define
package resources at runtime just so they can implement SQL injection,
ultimately the goal is to provide a small speed bump so they don't feel
so inclined to jump straight into SQL injection before trying to do
easier, more secure things.

[Python-announce] NumPy 2.0.0rc1 released

Hi All

On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy
2.0.0rc1. NumPy 2.0.0 is the first major release since 2006. It is the
result of 10 months of development since the last feature release and is
the work of 193 contributors spread over 1005 pull requests. It contains a
large number of exciting new features as well as changes to both the Python
and C APIs.

This major release includes breaking changes that could not happen in a
regular minor (feature) release - including an ABI break, changes to type
promotion rules, and API changes which may not have been emitting
deprecation warnings in 1.26.x. Key documents related to how to adapt to
changes in NumPy 2.0 include:

PEP 744: JIT Compilation

Earlier this year, an experimental “just-in-time” compiler was merged into CPython’s main development branch. While recent CPython releases have included other substantial internal changes, this addition represents a particularly significant departure from the way CPython has traditionally executed Python code. As such, it deserves wider discussion.

PEP 789: Preventing task-cancellation bugs by limiting yield in async generators

Structured concurrency is increasingly popular in Python. Interfaces such as the asyncio.TaskGroup and asyncio.timeout context managers support compositional reasoning, and allow developers to clearly scope the lifetimes of concurrent tasks. However, using yield to suspend a frame inside such a context leads to situations where the wrong task is canceled, timeouts are ignored, and exceptions are mishandled. More fundamentally, suspending a frame inside a TaskGroup violates the structured concurrency design principle that child tasks are encapsulated within their parent frame.

[Python-ideas] commonprefix

The os.path.commonprefix function basically returns the common initial
characters (if any) shared by a sequence of strings, e.g.
    os.path.commonprefix(("Python is great!", "Python is not bad",
"Python helps")) # returns "Python "
This is purely a string manipulation function which bears no relation to
actual file paths or whether they exist.
I have found uses for it unrelated to file paths:
    (a) When updating a progress display by printing backspaces and
overtyping, discover the common characters between the old and new
values displayed, so as to print as few characters as possible
    (b) Find the first character position where two strings differ.
I am sure there are many others.

It seems to me that this function (or something similar) should not be
in os.path, but somewhere else where it would be more visible.
(There are a lot of "solutions" on the Internet to finding the common
prefix of 2 or more than 2 strings, whose authors obviously don't know
about os.path.com... continue reading

PEP 747: TypeExpr: Type Hint for a Type Expression

PEP 484 defines the notation type[C] where C is a class, to refer to a class object that is a subtype of C. It explicitly does not allow type[C] to refer to arbitrary type expression objects such as the runtime object str | None, even if C is an unbounded TypeVar. 1 In cases where that restriction is unwanted, this PEP proposes a new notation TypeExpr[T] where T is a type, to refer to a either a class object or some other type expression object that is a subtype of T, allowing any kind of type to be referenced.

[Python-announce] NumPy 2.0.0 released

Hi All

On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy
2.0.0rc2. NumPy 2.0.0 is the first major release since 2006. It is the
result of 11 months of development since the last feature release and is
the work of 198 contributors spread over 1041 pull requests. It contains a
large number of exciting new features as well as changes to both the Python
and C APIs.

This major release includes breaking changes that could not happen in a
regular minor (feature) release - including an ABI break, changes to type
promotion rules, and API changes which may not have been emitting
deprecation warnings in 1.26.x. Key documents related to how to adapt to
changes in NumPy 2.0 include:

[Python-announce] ANN: First beta of Python-Blosc2 3.0.0

Hi,

The Blosc development team is pleased to announce the first beta release of
Python-Blosc2 3.0.0. We have been working hard to provide a new evaluation
engine (based on numexpr) for NDArray instances, and we would like to get
feedback from the community before the final release.

Now, you can evaluate expressions like a + sin(b) + 1 where a and b
are NDArray instances. This is a powerful feature that allows for
efficient computations on compressed data, and supports advanced features
like reductions, filters, user-defined functions and broadcasting (still
in beta). See this
example <https://github.com/Blosc/python-blosc2/blob/main/examples/ndarray/eval_expr.py>_.

Also, we have added support for memory mapping in SChunk and
NDArray instances.
This allows to map super-chunks stored in disk and access them as if
they were in
memory. When combined with the evaluation engine, this feature allows for very
good performance when working with large datasets. See this

This is a beta preview of Python 3.13

Python 3.13 is still in development. This release, 3.13.0b3, is the third
of four beta release previews of 3.13.

Beta release previews are intended to give the wider community the

[Python-announce] iPOPO 3.0.0 released

iPOPO v3.0.0 has been released!

What is iPOPO ?

iPOPO is a Python-based Service-Oriented Component Model (SOCM) based on
Pelix, a dynamic service platform. They are inspired by two popular Java
technologies for the development of long-lived applications: the iPOJO
component model and the OSGi Service Platform.
iPOPO enables the development of long-running and modular IT services.

It is based on OSGi concepts:

Bundle: a Python module imported using Pelix and associated to a
context. A bundle has a life-cycle (install, start, updated, stop,
uninstall)
Service: a Python object registered in a service registry, associated
to a specification and to properties.
Component: the instance of a class described/manipulated by iPOPO
decorators

Components are bound together by the specification(s) of the service(s)
they provide. The required services are injected into components by iPOPO.

For more information, see https://ipopo.readthedocs.io/

[Python-announce] SCons 4.8.1 Released

A new SCons release, 4.8.1, is now available on the SCons download page:

https://scons.org/pages/download.html

Here is a summary of the changes since 4.8.0:

CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY

env.Dump() previously accepted a single optional "key" argument.
It now accepts any number of optional "key" arguments; any supplied
keys will be serialized with their values in a Python dict style.
As a result there is a small change in behavior: if a single key
argument is given, where it previously would return a string containing
just the value, now it will return a string that looks like a dictionary
including the key. For example, from "'gcc'" to "{'CC': 'gcc'}".
This should not have any impact as the result of calling Dump is
intended for diagnostic output, not for use by other interfaces.

FIXES

SCons 4.8.0 added an __all__ specifier at the top of the Variables

[pypi-announce] Deprecation of PyPI XMLRPC Methods

The following PyPI XMLRPC methods are being permanently deprecated:

list_packages
package_releases
release_urls
release_data

See our docs https://warehouse.pypa.io/api-reference/xml-rpc.html#deprecated-methods for alternatives. These methods have seen continued excess traffic that requires a full transit to our backends to service. Given that we have had them marked as deprecated for years, and they are continuing to cause availability issues for the service, it is time for them to go.

This deprecation will rollout over the next three weeks via rolling brownout, this allows us to gradually "notify" users who are not subscribed to pypi-announce https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/pypi-announce.python.org/ and to provide some time to work around for users who need time to migrate.

[Python-announce] [RELEASE] Python 3.13.0rc3 and 3.12.7 released.

This is not the release you’re looking for…

(unless you’re looking for 3.12.7.)

Because no plan survives contact with reality, instead of the actual Python
3.13.0 release we have a new Python 3.13 release candidate today. Python
3.13.0rc3 rolls back the incremental cyclic garbage collector (GC), which
was added in one of the alpha releases. The incremental GC had more
significant performance regressions in specific workloads than we expected.
Rather than try to fiddle with its details in the hope of fixing them (and
not making anything else worse) we decided to revert back to the old GC in
3.13. Work on the incremental GC will continue in 3.14. We also took the
opportunity to fix some other (rare) bugs and issues found in 3.13.0rc2. The
final release of Python 3.13.0 will now happen next week, Monday October 7th
.

In an effort to return to normalcy, we’ve also released Python 3.12.7 as
scheduled, despite the expedited release a month ago. It’s important to be

PEP 758: Allow ``except`` and ``except*`` expressions without parentheses

This PEP 1 proposes to allow unparenthesized except and except* blocks in Python’s exception handling syntax. Currently, when catching multiple exceptions, parentheses are required around the exception types. This was a Python 2 remnant. This PEP suggests allowing the omission of these parentheses, simplifying the syntax, making it more consistent with other parts of the syntax that make parentheses optional, and improving readability in certain cases.

Vulture - Find dead code

Vulture finds unused code in Python programs. This is useful for
cleaning up and finding errors in large code bases. If you run Vulture
on both your library and test suite you can find untested code.

Due to Python's dynamic nature, static code analyzers like Vulture are
likely to miss some dead code. Also, code that is only called
implicitly may be reported as unused. Nonetheless, Vulture can be a
very helpful tool for higher code quality.

PEP 759: External Wheel Hosting

This PEP proposes a mechanism by which projects hosted on pypi.org can safely host wheel artifacts on external sites other than PyPI. This PEP explicitly does not propose external hosting of projects, packages, or their metadata. That functionality is already available by externally hosting independent package indexes. Because this PEP only provides a mechanism for projects to customize the download URL for specific released wheel artifacts, dependency resolution as already implemented by common installer tools such as pip and uv does not need to change.

PEP 777: How to Re-invent the Wheel

The current wheel 1.0 specification was written over a decade ago, and has been extremely robust to changes in the Python packaging ecosystem. Previous efforts to improve the wheel specification were deferred to focus on other packaging specifications. Meanwhile, the use of wheels has changed dramatically in the last decade. There have been many requests for new wheel features over the years; however, a fundamental obstacle to evolving the wheel specification has been that there is no defined process for how to handle adding backwards-incompatible features to wheels. Therefore, to enable other PEPs to describe new enhancements to the wheel specification, this PEP prescribes compatibility requirements on future wheel revisions. This PEP does not specify a new wheel revision. The specification of a new wheel format (“Wheel 2.0”) is left to a future PEP.

[Python-announce] Announcing Asp: A Python-inspired scripting platform for embedded/real-time systems

To: Embedded systems developers who love Python

Announcing the Asp Scripting Platform for embedded systems

Because Python is rather difficult to add into existing embedded
applications as compared with scripting facilities like Lua, I created a
Python-like scripting environment called Asp, specifically targeted at
embedded/real-time applications.

Asp feels like simple Python, so it's easy to learn if you already
know Python.
Asp is designed for 32-bit embedded and/or real-time systems and can
be easily added into existing applications to provide a scripting
environment. (Different design from MicroPython.)
Asp works with OS/RTOS-based or bare-metal applications.
Asp's memory footprint is low, it avoids use of dynamic memory
allocation and recursion, and leaves the application in control of the
processor between each byte-code instruction.
Script-callable functions in the application can be written in a way
so as to not bl... continue reading

[Python-announce] logassert v8 released!

The version 8 of logassert brings support for the structlog library.
Yes, now you can use the whole power of logassert when using structlog
as a logger.

There are also small administrative enhancements: better README (and
documentation in Read The Docs), the CI uses modern Pythons,
better tested badge, etc.

What is logassert?

A simple log assertion mechanism for Python unittests.

Provides a simple and expressive way to use it in the unit tests and
when the assertion fails it presents a useful report that helps you to
find out why it is failing.

Includes a fixture to use it with pytest and can also be used in
classic unit tests. Allows checking using regular expressions, exact
strings, multiple strings, and even sequences of several lines,
including support for verifying that nothing was logged, and of course
filtering by the log level (if desired).

PEP 766: Explicit Priority Choices Among Multiple Indexes

Package resolution is a key part of the Python user experience as the means of extending Python’s core functionality. The experience of package resolution is mostly taken for granted until someone encounters a situation where the package installer does something they don’t expect. The installer behavior with multiple indexes has been a common source of unexpected behavior. Through its ubiquity, pip has long defined the standard expected behavior across other tools in the ecosystem, but Python installers are diverging with respect to how they handle multiple indexes. At the core of this divergence is whether index contents are combined before resolving distributions, or each index is handled individually in order. pip merges all indexes before matching distributions, while uv matches distributions on one index before moving on to the next. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages. This PEP aims to describe each of these behaviors, which are referred to as “version priority” and “index priority” respectively, so that community discussions and troubleshooting can share a common vocabulary, and so that tools can implement predictable behavior based on these descriptions.

[Python-announce] peek: like print, but easy

This is to announce the availability of a new package: peek.

To include powerful debug print statement, all you have to do is:
import peek
my_string = "hallo"
my_dict = dict(a=1, b=2)
peek(my_string, my_dict)
And you get
my_string='hallo', my_dict={'a': 1, 'b': 2}
Or, if you add
peek.show_line_number = True
you get something like
#5 ==> my_string='hallo', my_dict={'a': 1, 'b': 2}

For those who know icecream: peek goes much further in adding benchmarking,
a Pythonic interface, import time customization, better docs, etc.
And ... no dependencies whatsoever!

I'm pleased to announce version 3.12.0, the release of branch
3.12 of SQLObject.

What's new in SQLObject

Drivers

Add support for CyMySQL; there're some problems with unicode yet.

psycopg is actually psycopg3 now; not all tests pass.
Minor fix in getting error code from PyGreSQL.
Dropped oursql. It wasn't updated in years.
Dropped PySQLite2. Only builtin sqlite3 is supported.

Tests

Run tests with Python 3.13.
Run tests with psycopg-c; not all tests pass.
Fix test\_exceptions.py under MariaDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite.
py-postgres: Set sslmode to allow;
upstream changed default to prefer.

CI

Run tests with PyGreSQL on w32, do not ignore errors.
Skip tests with pg8000 on w32.

[Python-announce] Guppy 3/Heapy 3.1.5

I am happy to announce Guppy 3 3.1.5

Guppy 3 is a library and programming environment for Python,
currently providing in particular the Heapy subsystem, which supports
object and heap memory sizing, profiling and debugging. It also
includes a prototypical specification language, the Guppy
Specification Language (GSL), which can be used to formally specify
aspects of Python programs and generate tests and documentation from a
common source.

Guppy 3 is a fork of Guppy-PE, created by Sverker Nilsson for Python 2.

This release adds support for Python 3.13, and support for Python 3.8
was dropped.

Code for Remote & Monitor has been removed since it no longer worked since
Python 3.9 (I hope PEP 734 will change this in the future). Other libraries
such as aiomanhole might provide similar functionality with a much simpler
implementation.

This release also fixes a few bugs, including:

o Fix -Wmissing-braces compile warning
o Added some error handling code paths to bitset

PEP 773: A Python Installation Manager for Windows

Installation of the python.org Python distribution on Windows is complex. There are three main approaches with roughly equivalent levels of user experience, and yet all of these suffer from different limitations, including failing to satisfy modern usage scenarios. This PEP proposes a design for a single Windows install workflow tool that satisfies all the needs of the existing installers for the platform, while avoiding most of their limitations, and provides the core team with the ability to manage releases for many years to come.

PEP 774: Removing the LLVM requirement for JIT builds

Since Python 3.13, CPython has been able to be configured and built with an experimental just-in-time (JIT) compiler via the --enable-experimental-jit flag on Linux and Mac and --experimental-jit on Windows. To build CPython with the JIT enabled, users are required to have LLVM installed on their machine (initially, with LLVM 16 but more recently, with LLVM 19). LLVM is responsible for generating stencils that are essential to our copy-and-patch JIT (see PEP 744). These stencils are predefined, architecture-specific templates that are used to generate machine code at runtime.

[Python-announce] ANN: Python-Blosc2 3.1.1 has been released!

Announcing Python-Blosc2 3.1.0 (and 3.1.1)

This is a minor release where we optimized the performance of the
internal compute engine, as well as indexing for NDArrays. We also
added new API:

blosc2.evaluate: a drop-in replacement of numexpr.evaluate(). This
allows to evaluate expressions with combinations of NDArrays and NumPy
arrays. In addition, it has the next improvements:
- More functionality than numexpr (e.g. reductions).
- Follow casting rules of NumPy more closely.
- Use both NumPy arrays and Blosc2 NDArrays in the same expression.
blosc2.jit: a decorator to compile a function with a NumPy expression
using the compute engine of Blosc2. Useful to speed up the evaluation
of pure NumPy expressions at runtime.

You can think of Python-Blosc2 3.0 as an extension of NumPy/numexpr that:

Can deal with ndarrays compressed using first-class codecs & filters.

PEP 779: Criteria for supported status for free-threaded Python

The acceptance of PEP 703 (Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython), as announced by the Steering Council, describes three phases of development for the work to remove the Global Interpreter Lock. Phase I started early in the development of Python 3.13, and includes making the free-threaded (GIL-less) Python build available but explicitly experimental. Phase II would make the free-threaded build officially supported but still optional, and phase III would make the free-threaded build the default. Because of the number of unknowns at the time, the criteria for moving to the next phase were left deliberately vague at the time. This PEP establishes clear expectations and requirements for moving to Phase II, making the free-threaded Python build officially supported.

Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and debugging software. While techniques for doing this efficiently have evolved, only few scientists have been trained to use them. As a result, instead of doing their research, they spend far too much time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel. In this course we will present a selection of advanced programming techniques and best practices which are standard in the industry, but especially tailored to the needs of a programming scientist. Lectures are interactive and allow students to acquire direct hands-on experience with the topics. Students will work in pairs throughout the school and will team up to practice the newly learned skills in a real programming project — an entertaining computer game.

PEP 780: ABI features as environment markers

This PEP defines using ABI features as environment markers for project dependencies, through a new sys_abi_features environment marker and sys.abi_features attribute in the sys module. PEP 508 (later moved to packaging:dependency-specifiers) introduced environment markers to specify dependencies based on rules that describe when the dependency should be used. This PEP extends the environment markers to allow specifying dependencies based on specific ABI features of the Python interpreter. For this, it defines a set of ABI Features and specifies how they are made available via an addition to the Python Standard Library in the form of a new attribute sys.abi_features, as well as for environment markers as a new marker variable, sys_abi_features.

protocol to expose the data in the array. This allows for better
interoperability with other libraries like NumPy, CuPy, etc. Now, the range
of functions spans to most of NumPy functions, including reductions.

[Python-announce] Nikola v8.3.3 is out!

On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce
the immediate availability of Nikola v8.3.3. This is a bugfix release.

We’ve had to release Nikola v8.3.3 immediately after releasing
Nikola v8.3.2, as it is broken on Python 3.8. We would like to thank
the Python packaging ecosystem for being an incomprehensible and
incompatible trainwreck.

What is Nikola?

Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python.
It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup
formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown — and can even turn
Jupyter Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image galleries,
and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds are extremely
fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what has been changed).

Find out more at the website: https://getnikola.com/

Downloads

Install using pip install Nikola.

[Python-announce] NumPy 2.3.0rc1 Released

Hi All,

On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of
NumPy 2.3.0rc1. The NumPy 2.3.0rc1 release continues the work to improve
free threaded Python support and annotations together with the usual set of
bug fixes. It is unusual in the number of expired deprecations and the
number of code modernizations and style cleanups. The latter may not be
visible to users, but is important for code maintenance over the long term.
Note that we have also upgraded from manylinux2014 to manylinux_2_28.

There are known test failures in the rc1 release involving MyPy and PyPy.
The cause of both has been determined and fixes will be applied before the
final
release. The current Windows on ARM wheels also lack OpenBLAS, but they
should suffice for initial downstream testing. OpenBLAS will be
incorporated in those wheels when it becomes available.

Highlights for this release are:

[Python-announce] Python 3.14.0 beta 2 is here!

Here’s the second 3.14 beta.

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3140b2/

This is a beta preview of Python 3.14

Python 3.14 is still in development. This release, 3.14.0b2, is the second
of four planned beta releases.

Beta release previews are intended to give the wider community the
opportunity to test new features and bug fixes and to prepare their
projects to support the new feature release.

We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to test
with 3.14 during the beta phase and report issues found to the Python bug
tracker as soon as possible. While the release is planned to be
feature-complete entering the beta phase, it is possible that features may
be modified or, in rare cases, deleted up until the start of the release
candidate phase (Tuesday 2025-07-22). Our goal is to have no ABI changes
after beta 4 and as few code changes as possible after the first release

PEP 793: PyModExport: A new entry point for C extension modules

In this PEP, we propose a new entry point for C extension modules, by which one can define a module using an array of PyModuleDef_Slot structures without an enclosing PyModuleDef structure. This allows extension authors to avoid using a statically allocated PyObject, lifting the most common obstacle to making one compiled library file usable with both regular and free-threaded builds of CPython.

[Python-announce] pyfiq: Pythonic FIFO microqueue

Hey

I recently started working on a new project and thought I’d share it. It’s
a bit niche and in its early stages of development, but I’d be curious to
hear what other Python devs think about this idea.

pyfiq is a lightweight, MIT-licensed, Redis-backed FIFO task queue for
Python. It lets you decorate (I/O-bound) functions with @pyfiq.fifo(...),
enqueue them for execution, and ensures those functions run in strict
order, even across multiple application instances.

You can think of pyfiq as an embedded, Python-native alternative to AWS
Lambda + SQS FIFO: no external infrastructure, no vendor lock-in--just drop
it into your app.

Check it out:

Python 3.14 is still in development. This release, 3.14.0b4, is the last of
four planned beta releases.

Beta release previews are intended to give the wider community the
opportunity to test new features and bug fixes and to prepare their
projects to support the new feature release.

We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to test
with 3.14 during the beta phase and report issues found to the Python bug
tracker as soon as possible. While the release is planned to be
feature-complete entering the beta phase, it is possible that features may
be modified or, in rare cases, deleted up until the start of the release
candidate phase (Tuesday 2025-07-22). Our goal is to have no ABI changes
after beta 4 and as few code changes as possible after the first release
candidate. To achieve that, it will be extremely important to get ... continue reading

[Python-announce] ANN: Python-Blosc2 3.6.1 is out!

Announcing Python-Blosc2 3.6.1

In this release:

✅ Blosc2 now suppports fancy indexing (and orthogonal indexing)
✅ Added fast path for 1D fancy indexing
✅ More complex slicing is now supported for lazy expressions
✅ Blosc2 indexing more consistent with NumPy
✅ Comprehensive squeeze function which squeezes only specified
dimensions
✅ Correctly point to most recent C-blosc2 version 2.19.1

We have blogged about the new fancy indexing support:
https://www.blosc.org/posts/blosc2-fancy-indexing/

You can think of Python-Blosc2 3.x as an extension of NumPy/numexpr that:

Can deal with ndarrays compressed using first-class codecs & filters.
Performs many kind of math expressions, including reductions, indexing...
Supports NumPy ufunc mechanism: mix and match NumPy and Blosc2
computations.
Integrates with Numba and Cython via UDFs (User Defined Functions).
Adheres to modern NumPy casting rules way better than numexpr.

PEP 798: Unpacking in Comprehensions

This PEP proposes extending list, set, and dictionary comprehensions, as well as generator expressions, to allow unpacking notation (* and **) at the start of the expression, providing a concise way of combining an arbitrary number of iterables into one list or set or generator, or an arbitrary number of dictionaries into one dictionary, for example:

[Python-announce] Python 3.14 release candidate 1 is go!

It’s the first 3.14 release candidate!

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3140rc1/

This release, 3.14.0rc1, is the penultimate release preview. Entering the
release candidate phase, only reviewed code changes which are clear bug
fixes are allowed between this release candidate and the final release. The
second candidate (and the last planned release preview) is scheduled for
Tuesday, 2025-08-26, while the official release of 3.14.0 is scheduled for
Tuesday, 2025-10-07.

There will be no ABI changes from this point forward in the 3.14 series,
and the goal is that there will be as few code changes as possible.

Call to action

We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to prepare
their projects for 3.14 during this phase, and where necessary publish
Python 3.14 wheels on PyPI to be ready for the final release of 3.14.0, and
to help other projects do their own testing. Any binary wheels built
against Python 3.14.0rc1 will work with ... continue reading

PEP 800: Solid bases in the type system

To analyze Python programs precisely, type checkers need to know when two classes can and cannot have a common child class. However, the information necessary to determine this is not currently part of the type system. This PEP adds a new decorator, @typing.solid_base, that indicates that a class is a “solid base”. Two classes that have distinct, unrelated solid bases cannot have a common child class.

[pypi-announce] PyPI Users Email Phishing Attack

(also posted to https://blog.pypi.org/posts/2025-07-28-pypi-phishing-attack/
)

(Ongoing, preliminary report)

PyPI has not been hacked, but users are being targeted by a phishing attack
that attempts to trick them into logging in to a fake PyPI site.

Over the past few days, users who have published projects on PyPI with
their email in package metadata may have received an email titled:

[PyPI] Email verification

from the email address noreply@pypj.org.

Note the lowercase j in the domain name, which is not the official PyPI
domain, pypi.org.

This is not a security breach of PyPI itself, but rather a phishing attempt
that exploits the trust users have in PyPI.

The email instructs users to follow a link to verify their email address,
which leads to a phishing site that looks like PyPI but is not the official
site.

The user is prompted to log in, and the requests are passed back to PyPI,
which may lead to the user believing they have logged in to PyPI, but in
reality, they hav... continue reading

Hi there,

This is just a quick note to let people know about Python by the Sea, a
small (20-40 people) unconference focused more on face-to-face meetings
than planned presentations. This is the first event I've organised in over
a decade, and seems much more in the spirit of the times than larger
gatherings. With luck it should also be less demanding to manage.

You can find out more about the conference at https://python-by-the-sea.org,
and early bird tickets are now available at https://pybysea.eventbrite.com.

I hope to see friends old and new there. Please pass the message on!

Kind regards

[Python-announce] Python 3.14.0rc2 and 3.13.7 are go!

Not one but two expedited releases! 🎉🎉

Python 3.14.0rc2

It’s the final 🪄 penultimate 🪄 3.14 release candidate!

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3140rc2/

Note: rc2 was originally planned for 2025-08-26, but we fixed a bug that
required bumping the magic number stored in Python bytecode (.pyc) files.
This means file .pyc files created for rc1 cannot be used for rc2, and
they’ll be recompiled.

The ABI isn’t changing. Wheels built for rc1 should be fine for rc2, rc3
and 3.14.x. So this shouldn’t affect too many people but let’s get this out
for testing sooner.

Due to this early release, we’ll also add a third release candidate between
now and the final 3.14.0 release, with no planned change to the final
release date.

This is the penultimate release candidate of Python 3.14

This release, 3.14.0rc2, is the penultimate release preview. Entering the
