- (CVE-2020-10735, bsc#1203125). Converting between int
and str in bases other than 2 (binary), 4, 8 (octal), 16
(hexadecimal), or 32 such as base 10 (decimal) now raises a
ValueError if the number of digits in string form is above a
limit to avoid potential denial of service attacks due to the
algorithmic complexity.
This new limit can be configured or disabled by environment
variable, command line flag, or sys APIs. See the integer
string conversion length limitation documentation. The
default limit is 4300 digits in string form.
- (CVE-2021-28861, bsc#1202624) http.server: Fix an open
redirection vulnerability in the HTTP server when an URI path
starts with //. Vulnerability discovered, and initial fix
proposed, by Hamza Avvan.
- Also other bugfixes:
- Fix contextvars HAMT implementation to handle iteration
over deep trees. The bug was discovered and fixed by Eli
Libman. See MagicStack/immutables#84 for more details.
- Fix ensurepip environment isolation for subprocess running
pip.
- Raise ProgrammingError instead of segfaulting on recursive
usage of cursors in sqlite3 converters. Patch by Sergey
Fedoseev.
- Add a new gh role to the documentation to link to GitHub
issues.
- Pin Jinja to a version compatible with Sphinx version
2.4.4.
- test_ssl is now checking for supported TLS version and
protocols in more tests.

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.
