- Core and Builtins
- gh-92311: Fixed a bug where setting frame.f_lineno to jump
over a list comprehension could misbehave or crash.
- gh-92112: Fix crash triggered by an evil custom mro() on
a metaclass.
- gh-92036: Fix a crash in subinterpreters related to the
garbage collector. When a subinterpreter is deleted,
untrack all objects tracked by its GC. To prevent a crash
in deallocator functions expecting objects to be tracked by
the GC, leak a strong reference to these objects on
purpose, so they are never deleted and their deallocator
functions are not called. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- gh-91421: Fix a potential integer overflow in
_Py_DecodeUTF8Ex.
- bpo-46775: Some Windows system error codes(>= 10000) are
now mapped into the correct errno and may now raise
a subclass of OSError. Patch by Dong-hee Na.
- bpo-46962: Classes and functions that unconditionally
declared their docstrings ignoring the
--without-doc-strings compilation flag no longer do so.
- The classes affected are pickle.PickleBuffer,
testcapi.RecursingInfinitelyError, and types.GenericAlias.
- The functions affected are 24 methods in ctypes.
- Patch by Oleg Iarygin.
- bpo-36819: Fix crashes in built-in encoders with error
handlers that return position less or equal than the
starting position of non-encodable characters.
- Library
- gh-91581: utcfromtimestamp() no longer attempts to resolve

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.
