- Fix multiplying a list by an integer (list *= int): detect
the integer overflow when the new allocated length is close
to the maximum size.
- Fix a shell code injection vulnerability in the
get-remote-certificate.py example script. The script no
longer uses a shell to run openssl commands. (originally
filed as CVE-2022-37460, later withdrawn)
- Fix command line parsing: reject -X int_max_str_digits option
with no value (invalid) when the PYTHONINTMAXSTRDIGITS
environment variable is set to a valid limit.
- When ValueError is raised if an integer is larger than the
limit, mention the sys.set_int_max_str_digits() function in
the error message.
- The deprecated mailcap module now refuses to inject unsafe
text (filenames, MIME types, parameters) into shell
commands. Instead of using such text, it will warn and act
as if a match was not found (or for test commands, as if the
test failed).
- os.sched_yield() now release the GIL while calling
sched_yield(2).
- Bugfix: PyFunction_GetAnnotations() should return a borrowed
reference. It was returning a new reference.
- Fixed a missing incref/decref pair in
Exception.__setstate__().
- Fix overly-broad source position information for chained
comparisons used as branching conditions.
- Fix undefined behaviour in _testcapimodule.c.
- At Python exit, sometimes a thread holding the GIL can
wait forever for a thread (usually a daemon thread) which

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.
