- Update to 3.11.1:
- python -m http.server no longer allows terminal control
characters sent within a garbage request to be printed
to the stderr server lo This is done by changing the
http.server BaseHTTPRequestHandler .log_message method to
replace control characters with a \xHH hex escape before
printin
- Avoid publishing list of active per-interpreter audit hooks
via the gc module
- The IDNA codec decoder used on DNS hostnames by socket or
asyncio related name resolution functions no longer involves
a quadratic algorithm. This prevents a potential CPU denial
of service if an out-of-spec excessive length hostname
involving bidirectional characters were decoded. Some
protocols such as urllib http 3xx redirects potentially allow
for an attacker to supply such a name (CVE-2022-45061).
- Update bundled libexpat to 2.5.0
- 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. Issue reported
and initial fix by Caleb Shortt. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- Fix a crash when an object which does not have a dictionary
frees its instance values.
- Fix a bug in the tokenizer that could cause infinite
recursion when showing syntax warnings that happen in the
first line of the source. Patch by Pablo Galindo
- Fix an issue that could cause frames to be visible to Python
code as they are being torn down, possibly leading to memory
corruption or hard crashes of the interpreter.
- Fix a reference bug in _imp.create_builtin() after the
creation of the first sub-interpreter for modules builtins
and sys. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- Fixed a bug that was causing a buffer overflow if the
tokenizer copies a line missing the newline caracter from a
file that is as long as the available tokenizer buffer. Patch
by Pablo galindo
- Fix bug where an ExceptionGroup subclass can wrap a
BaseException.
- Fix zip path for venv created from a non-installed python on
POSIX platforms.
- Fix an issue that could potentially cause incorrect error
handling for some bytecode instructions.
- Fix an issue that prevented PyThreadState and
PyInterpreterState memory from being freed properly.
- Fix failure in except* with unhashable exceptions.
- Fix calculation of sys._base_executable when inside a POSIX
virtual environment using copies of the python binary when
the base installation does not provide the executable name
used by the venv. Calculation will fall back to alternative
names (“python<MAJOR>”, “python<MAJOR>.<MINOR>”).
- Update faulthandler to emit an error message with the proper
unexpected signal number. Patch by Dong-hee Na.
- Fix location of SyntaxError for a try block with both except
and except*.
- Fix the error reporting positions of specialized traceback
anchors when the source line contains Unicode characters.
- Fix subscription of type aliases containing bare generic
types or types like TypeVar: for example tuple[A, T][int] and
tuple[TypeVar, T][int], where A is a generic type, and T is a
type variable.
- Lower the recursion depth for marshal on WASI to support
wasmtime 2.0/main.
- Fix multiple crashes in debug mode when str subclasses are
used instead of str itself.
- Fix an issue where member descriptors (such as those for
__slots__) could behave incorrectly or crash instead of
raising a TypeError when accessed via an instance of an
invalid type.
- Suppress ImportError for invalid query for help()
command. Patch by Dong-hee Na.
- Fix detection of MAC addresses for uuid on certain OSs. Patch
by Chaim Sanders
- Print exception class name instead of its string
representation when raising errors from ctypes calls.
- os.sched_yield() now release the GIL while calling
sched_yield(2). Patch by Dong-hee Na.
- Fix an issue that could delay the specialization of PRECALL
instructions.
- Bugfix: PyFunction_GetAnnotations() should return a borrowed
reference. It was returning a new reference.
- Ensure that all Python frame objects are backed by “complete”
frames.
- Fixed a missing incref/decref pair in
Exception.__setstate__(). Patch by Ofey Chan.
- Fix the Python path configuration used to initialized
sys.path at Python startup. Paths are no longer encoded
to UTF-8/strict to avoid encoding errors if it contains
surrogate characters (bytes paths are decoded with the
surrogateescape error handler). Patch by Victor Stinner.
- Fix overly-broad source position information for chained
comparisons used as branching conditions.
- At Python exit, sometimes a thread holding the GIL can
wait forever for a thread (usually a daemon thread) which
requested to drop the GIL, whereas the thread already
exited. To fix the race condition, the thread which requested
the GIL drop now resets its request before exiting. Issue
discovered and analyzed by Mingliang ZHAO. Patch by Victor
Stinner.
- Fix a possible assertion failure, fatal error, or SystemError
if a line tracing event raises an exception while opcode
tracing is enabled.
- Fix undefined behaviour in C code of null pointer arithmetic.
- Make sure that all frame objects created are created from
valid interpreter frames. Prevents the possibility of invalid
frames in backtraces and signal handlers.
- Disable incorrect pickling of the C implemented classmethod
descriptors.
- On WASI ENOTCAPABLE is now mapped to PermissionError. The
errno modules exposes the new error number. getpath.py now
ignores PermissionError when it cannot open landmark files
pybuilddir.txt and pyenv.cfg.
- Allow pdb to locate source for frozen modules in the standard
library.
- Raise ValueError instead of SystemError when methods of
uninitialized io.IncrementalNewlineDecoder objects are
called. Patch by Oren Milman.
- Fix a possible assertion failure in io.FileIO when the opener
returns an invalid file descriptor.
- Also escape s in the http.server
BaseHTTPRequestHandler.log_message so that it is technically
possible to parse the line and reconstruct what the original
data was. Without this a xHH is ambiguious as to if it is a
hex replacement we put in or the characters r”x” came through
in the original request line.
- asyncio.get_event_loop() now only emits a deprecation warning
when a new event loop was created implicitly. It no longer
emits a deprecation warning if the current event loop was
set.
- Fix bug when calling trace.CoverageResults with valid infile.
- Fix a bug in handling class cleanups in
unittest.TestCase. Now addClassCleanup() uses separate lists
for different TestCase subclasses, and doClassCleanups() only
cleans up the particular class.
- Release the GIL when calling termios APIs to avoid blocking
threads.
- Fix ast.increment_lineno() to also cover ast.TypeIgnore when
changing line numbers.
- Fix bug in urllib.parse.urlparse() that causes URL schemes
that begin with a digit, a plus sign, or a minus sign to be
parsed incorrectly.
- Check the number of arguments in substitution in user
generics containing a TypeVarTuple and one or more TypeVar.
- Fix substitution of ParamSpec followed by TypeVarTuple in
generic aliases.
- Fix substitution of TypeVarTuple and ParamSpec together in
user generics.
- Fixed bug where inspect.signature() reported incorrect
arguments for decorated methods.
- Fix SystemError in ctypes when exception was not set during
__initsubclass__.
- Remove older version of
_SSLProtocolTransport.get_write_buffer_limits in
asyncio.sslproto
- fix negative numbers failing in verify()
- Fix statistics.NormalDist pickle with 0 and 1 protocols.
- enum.auto() is now correctly activated when combined with
other assignment values. E.g. ONE = auto(), 'some text' will
now evaluate as (1, 'some text').
- Update the bundled copy of pip to version 22.3.1.
- Clean up refleak on failed module initialisation in _zoneinfo
- Clean up refleaks on failed module initialisation in in
_pickle
- Clean up refleak on failed module initialisation in _io.
- Fix memory leak in math.dist() when both points don’t have
the same dimension. Patch by Kumar Aditya.
- [3.11] Applied changes from importlib_metadata 4.11.4
through 4.13, including compatibility and robustness
fixes for Distribution objects without _normalized_name,
disallowing invalid inputs to Distribution.from_name, and
refined behaviors in PathDistribution._name_from_stem and
PathDistribution._normalized_name.
- Fix argument typechecks in _overlapped.WSAConnect() and
_overlapped.Overlapped.WSASendTo() functions.
- Prevent crashing in traceback when retrieving the byte-offset
for some source files that contain certain unicode
characters.
- Fix internal error in the re module which in very rare
circumstances prevented compilation of a regular expression
containing a conditional expression without the “else”
branch.
- Fix asyncio.StreamWriter.drain() to call
protocol.connection_lost callback only once on Windows.
- Add a mutex to unittest.mock.NonCallableMock to protect
concurrent access to mock attributes.
- Fix hang on Windows in subprocess.wait_closed() in asyncio
with ProactorEventLoop. Patch by Kumar Aditya.
- Fix infinite loop in unittest when a self-referencing chained
exception is raised
- tkinter.Text.count() raises now an exception for options
starting with “-” instead of silently ignoring them.
- On uname_result, restored expectation that _fields and
_asdict would include all six properties including processor.
- A createSocket() method was added to SysLogHandler.
- Fix bug in urllib.parse.urlparse() that causes certain port
numbers containing whitespace, underscores, plus and minus
signs, or non-ASCII digits to be incorrectly accepted.
- Allow venv to pass along PYTHON* variables to ensurepip and
pip when they do not impact path resolution
- On macOS, fix a crash in syslog.syslog() in multi-threaded
applications. On macOS, the libc syslog() function is not
thread-safe, so syslog.syslog() no longer releases the GIL to
call it. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- Allow BUILTINS to be a valid field name for frozen
dataclasses.
- Wrap network errors consistently in urllib FTP support, so
the test suite doesn’t fail when a network is available but
the public internet is not reachable.
- Make sure patch.dict() can be applied on async functions.
- Earlier in 3.11 we deprecated
asyncio.Task.cancel("message"). We realized we were too
harsh, and have undeprecated it.
- Change deprecate warning message in unittest from It is
deprecated to return a value!=None to It is deprecated to
return a value that is not None from a test case
- Fixes AttributeError when subprocess.check_output() is used
with argument input=None and either of the arguments encoding
or errors are used.
- Fix is_private properties in the ipaddress module. Previously
non-private networks (0.0.0.0/0) would return True from this
method; now they correctly return False.
- Avoid spurious tracebacks from asyncio when default executor
cleanup is delayed until after the event loop is closed (e.g.
as the result of a keyboard interrupt).
- Avoid a crash in the C version of
asyncio.Future.remove_done_callback() when an evil argument
is passed.
- Remove tokenize.NL check from tabnanny.
- Fix generation of the default name of
tkinter.Checkbutton. Previously, checkbuttons in different
parent widgets could have the same short name and share
the same state if arguments “name” and “variable” are not
specified. Now they are globally unique.
- Update bundled libexpat to 2.4.9
- Fix race condition in asyncio where process_exited() called
before the pipe_data_received() leading to inconsistent
output. Patch by Kumar Aditya.
- Fixed check in multiprocessing.resource_tracker that
guarantees that the length of a write to a pipe is not
greater than PIPE_BUF.
- Corrected type annotation for dataclass attribute
pstats.FunctionProfile.ncalls to be str.
- Fix repr of Any subclasses.
- Work around missing socket functions in socket’s __repr__.
- In inspect, fix overeager replacement of “typing.” in
formatting annotations.
- Fix handling of bytes path-like objects in os.ismount().
- Fix handling compiler warnings (SyntaxWarning and
DeprecationWarning) in codeop.compile_command() when checking
for incomplete input. Previously it emitted warnings and
raised a SyntaxError. Now it always returns None for
incomplete input without emitting any warnings.
- To avoid apparent memory leaks when asyncio.open_connection()
raises, break reference cycles generated by local exception
and future instances (which has exception instance as its
member var). Patch by Dong Uk, Kang.
- Fixed flickering of the turtle window when the tracer is
turned off. Patch by Shin-myoung-serp.
- Fix asyncio subprocess transport to kill process cleanly
when process is blocked and avoid RuntimeError when loop is
closed. Patch by Kumar Aditya.
- Prevent error when activating venv in nested fish instances.
- TarFile.next() now returns None when called on an empty
tarfile.
- Document the optional callback parameter of WeakMethod. Patch
by Géry Ogam.
- Restrict use of sockets instead of pipes for stdin of
subprocesses created by asyncio to AIX platform only.
- shutil.copytree() now applies the ignore_dangling_symlinks
argument recursively.
- Fix IndexError in argparse.ArgumentParser when a store_true
action is given an explicit argument.
- Document that calling variadic functions with ctypes requires
special care on macOS/arm64 (and possibly other platforms).
- Remove extra row
- Clarified the conflicting advice given in the ast
documentation about ast.literal_eval() being “safe” for use
on untrusted input while at the same time warning that it
can crash the process. The latter statement is true and is
deemed unfixable without a large amount of work unsuitable
for a bugfix. So we keep the warning and no longer claim that
literal_eval is safe.
- Restructured the documentation for the os.wait* family of
functions, and improved the docs for os.waitid() with more
explanation of the possible argument constants.
- Skip test_normalization() of test_unicodedata if it
fails to download NormalizationTest.txt file from
pythontest.net. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- Correct test_marsh on (32 bit) x86: test_deterministic sets
was failing.
- Optional big memory tests in test_sqlite3 now catch the
correct sqlite.DataError exception type in case of too large
strings and/or blobs passed.
- Fix a bug in the typing tests where a test relying
on CPython-specific implementation details was not
decorated with @cpython_only and was not skipped on other
implementations.
- Add tests for star-unpacking with PEP 646, and some other
miscellaneous PEP 646 tests.
- Added explicit coverage of Py_Initialize (and hence
Py_InitializeEx) back to the embedding tests (all other
embedding tests migrated to Py_InitializeFromConfig in Python
3.11)
- Some C API tests were moved into the new Lib/test/test_capi/
directory.
- Fix -Wimplicit-int, -Wstrict-prototypes, and
-Wimplicit-function-declaration compiler warnings in
configure checks.
- Fix a compilation issue with GCC 12 on macOS.
- Fix -Wimplicit-int compiler warning in configure check for
PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM.
- Fix a possible fd leak in Programs/_freeze_module.c
introduced in Python 3.11.
- Fix build with PYTHON_FOR_REGEN=python3.8.
- Specify the full path to the source location for make
docclean (needed for cross-builds).
- Don’t use vendored libmpdec headers if --with-system-libmpdec
is passed to configure. Don’t use vendored libexpat headers
if --with-system-expat is passed to !configure.
- Fix the build process of clang compiler for _bootstrap_python
if LTO optimization is applied. Patch by Matthias Görgens and
Dong-hee Na.
- wasm32-emscripten builds for browsers now include
concurrent.futures for asyncio and unittest.mock.
- wasm32-emscripten platform no longer builds resource module,
getresuid(), getresgid(), and their setters. The APIs are
stubs and not functional.
- Updated pegen regeneration script on Windows to find and
use Python 3.9 or higher. Prior to this, pegen regeneration
already required 3.9 or higher, but the script may have used
lower versions of Python.
- Fix a bug in the previous bugfix that caused IDLE to
not start when run with 3.10.8, 3.12.0a1, and at least
Microsoft Python 3.10.2288.0 installed without the Lib/test
package. 3.11.0 was never affected.
- The wasm_build.py script now pre-builds Emscripten ports,
checks for broken EMSDK versions, and warns about pkg-config
env vars.
- The new tool Tools/wasm/wasm_builder.py automates configure,
compile, and test steps for building CPython on WebAssembly
platforms.
- Fix handling of module docstrings in Tools/i18n/pygettext.py.
- PyBUF_* constants were marked as part of Limited API
of Python 3.11+. These were available in 3.11.0 with
Py_LIMITED_API defined for 3.11, and are necessary to use the
buffer API.
- Fix use-after-free in Py_SetPythonHome(NULL),
Py_SetProgramName(NULL) and _Py_SetProgramFullPath(NULL)
function calls. Issue reported by Benedikt Reinartz. Patch by
Victor Stinner.
- Py_InitializeEx now correctly calls PyConfig_Clear after
initializing the interpreter (the omission didn’t cause a
memory leak only because none of the dynamically allocated
config fields are populated by the wrapper function)
- Removed upstreamed patches:
- 98437-sphinx.locale._-as-gettext-in-pyspecific.patch
- CVE-2022-45061-DoS-by-IDNA-decode.patch

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.
