for sysconfig.get_config_vars().
- gh-126188: Update bundled pip to 24.3.1
- gh-126766: Fix issue where urllib.request.url2pathname()
failed to discard two leading slashes introducing an empty

- gh-126565: Improve performances of zipfile.Path.open() for
non-reading modes.
- gh-126505: Fix bugs in compiling case-insensitive regular
expressions with character classes containing non-BMP
characters: upper-case non-BMP character did was ignored
and the ASCII flag was ignored when matching a character
range whose upper bound is beyond the BMP region.
- gh-117378: Fixed the multiprocessing "forkserver"
start method forkserver process to correctly inherit
the parent’s sys.path during the importing of
multiprocessing.set_forkserver_preload() modules in the
same manner as sys.path is configured in workers before
executing work items.
This bug caused some forkserver module preloading to silently
fail to preload. This manifested as a performance degration
in child processes when the sys.path was required due to
additional repeated work in every worker.
It could also have a side effect of "" remaining in
sys.path during forkserver preload imports instead of the
absolute path from os.getcwd() at multiprocessing import time
used in the worker sys.path.
The sys.path differences between phases in the child
process could potentially have caused preload to import incorrect
things from the wrong location. We are unaware of that actually
having happened in practice.
- gh-125679: The multiprocessing.Lock and
multiprocessing.RLock repr values no longer say “unknown”
on macOS.

when reinitializing the same object with a non-None
context. Patch by Nico Posada.

incorrect ambiguous option in argparse.
- gh-61011: Fix inheritance of nested mutually
exclusive groups from parent parser in

containing them and were displayed as belonging directly to
the parser.
- gh-52551: Fix encoding issues in time.strftime(), the
strftime() method of the datetime classes datetime, date
and time and formatting of these classes. Characters
not encodable in the current locale are now acceptable
in the format string. Surrogate pairs and sequence
of surrogatescape-encoded bytes are no longer
recombinated. Embedded null character no longer terminates
the format string.
- gh-125118: Don’t copy arbitrary values to _Bool in the
struct module.

- gh-123884: Fixed bug in itertools.tee() handling of other
tee inputs (a tee in a tee). The output now has the
promised n independent new iterators. Formerly, the first
iterator was identical (not independent) to the input
iterator. This would sometimes give surprising results.
- gh-123978: Remove broken time.thread_time() and
time.thread_time_ns() on NetBSD.
- gh-124008: Fix possible crash (in debug build), incorrect
output or returning incorrect value from raw binary write()

- gh-123370: Fix the canvas not clearing after running
turtledemo clock.
- gh-120754: Update unbounded read calls in zipfile to
specify an explicit size putting a limit on how much data

comment size to match the standard instead of reading

variable when the name exists both as an attribute name and

high-resolution monitors.
- Documentation
- gh-125277: Require Sphinx 7.2.6 or later to build the
Python documentation. Patch by Adam Turner.
- gh-125018: The importlib.metadata documentation now
includes semantic cross-reference targets for the
significant documented APIs. This means intersphinx
references like importlib.metadata.version() will now work
as expected.
- gh-121277: Writers of CPython’s documentation can now use
next as the version for the versionchanged, versionadded,
deprecated directives.

syntax for double braces preceded by certain escape
characters.
- gh-123378: Fix a crash in the __str__() method of
UnicodeError objects when the UnicodeError.start and
UnicodeError.end values are invalid or out-of-range. Patch
by Bénédikt Tran.
- gh-116510: Fix a crash caused by immortal interned strings
being shared between sub-interpreters that use basic
single-phase init. In that case, the string can be used
by an interpreter that outlives the interpreter that
created and interned it. For interpreters that share
obmalloc state, also share the interned dict with the main
interpreter.
- gh-118950: Fix bug where SSLProtocol.connection_lost wasn’t
getting called when OSError was thrown on writing to
socket.
- gh-113570: Fixed a bug in reprlib.repr where it incorrectly
called the repr method on shadowed Python built-in types.
- gh-109746: If _thread.start_new_thread() fails to start a
new thread, it deletes its state from interpreter and thus
avoids its repeated cleanup on finalization.
- C API
- gh-113601: Removed debug build assertions related to
interning strings, which were falsely triggered by stable
ABI extensions.
- Build
- gh-89640: Hard-code float word ordering as little endian on

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.
