- Update to 3.12.7:
- Tests
- gh-124378: Updated test_ttk to pass with Tcl/Tk 8.6.15.
- Security
- gh-122792: Changed IPv4-mapped ipaddress.IPv6Address to
consistently use the mapped IPv4 address value for deciding
properties. Properties which have their behavior fixed are
is_multicast, is_reserved, is_link_local, is_global, and
is_unspecified.
- Library
- gh-116850: Fix argparse for namespaces with not directly
writable dict (e.g. classes).
- gh-58573: Fix conflicts between abbreviated long options in
the parent parser and subparsers in argparse.
- gh-61181: Fix support of choices with string value in
argparse. Substrings of the specified string no longer
considered valid values.
- gh-80259: Fix argparse support of positional arguments with
nargs='?', default=argparse.SUPPRESS and specified type.
- gh-124498: Fix typing.TypeAliasType not to be generic, when
type_params is an empty tuple.

long options separated by = from its value.
- gh-104860: Fix disallowing abbreviation of single-dash long
options in argparse with allow_abbrev=False.
- gh-63143: Fix parsing mutually exclusive arguments in
argparse. Arguments with the value identical to the default

Python 3 in SUSE
==============
* Subpackages *
Python 3 is split into several subpackages, based on external dependencies.
The main package 'python3' has soft dependencies on all subpackages needed to
assemble the standard library; however, these might not all be installed by default.
If you attempt to import a module that is currently not installed, an ImportError is thrown,
with instructions to install the missing subpackage. Installing the subpackage might result
in installing libraries that the subpackage requires to function.
* ensurepip *
The 'ensurepip' module from Python 3 standard library (PEP 453) is supposed to deploy
a bundled copy of the pip installer. This makes no sense in a managed distribution like SUSE.
Instead, you need to install package 'python3-pip'. Usually this will be installed automatically
with 'python3'.
Using 'ensurepip' when pip is not installed will result in an ImportError with instructions
to install 'python3-pip'.
* Documentation *
You can find documentation in seprarate packages: python3-doc and
python3-doc-pdf. These contan following documents:
Tutorial, What's New in Python, Global Module Index, Library Reference,
Macintosh Module Reference, Installing Python Modules, Distributing Python
Modules, Language Reference, Extending and Embedding, Python/C API,
Documenting Python
The python3-doc package constains many text files from source tarball.
* Interactive mode *
Interactive mode is by default enhanced with of history and command completion.
If you don't like these features, you can unset the PYTHONSTARTUP variable
in your .profile or disable it system wide in /etc/profile.d/python.sh.
