- Security
- bpo-43434: Creating a sqlite3.Connection object now also
produces a sqlite3.connect auditing event. Previously this
event was only produced by sqlite3.connect() calls. Patch
by Erlend E. Aasland.
- bpo-43472: Ensures interpreter-level audit hooks receive
the cpython.PyInterpreterState_New event when called
through the _xxsubinterpreters module.
- bpo-43075: Fix Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)
vulnerability in urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler.
The ReDoS-vulnerable regex has quadratic worst-case
complexity and it allows cause a denial of service when
identifying crafted invalid RFCs. This ReDoS issue is on
the client side and needs remote attackers to control the
HTTP server.
- Core and Builtins
- bpo-43105: Importlib now resolves relative paths when
creating module spec objects from file locations.
- bpo-42924: Fix bytearray repetition incorrectly copying
data from the start of the buffer, even if the data is
offset within the buffer (e.g. after reassigning a slice at
the start of the bytearray to a shorter byte string).
- Library
- bpo-43993: Update bundled pip to 21.1.1.
- bpo-43937: Fixed the turtle module working with non-default
root window.
- bpo-43930: Update bundled pip to 21.1 and setuptools to
56.0.0
- bpo-43920: OpenSSL 3.0.0: load_verify_locations() now

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.
