3.7.2rc1 and 3.6.8rc1 cutoffs ahead, last 3.6.x bugfix release!
by Ned Deily 19 Dec '18

19 Dec '18

https://discuss.python.org/t/3-7-2rc1-and-3-6-8rc1-cutoffs-ahead-last-3-6-x… We're reaching the end of the year and it's time for another pair of Python 3 maintenance releases, 3.7.2 and 3.6.8, before we ring out 2018. Since there are still some open release blocker issues and I haven't been bugging you about them, I've moved the code cutoff for the release candidates to this coming Friday, 12-07, by the end of the day (AOE). That gives us all another 4 days to review open issues and PRs. Please give highest attention to any release blockers you have been shepherding or reviewing. Thanks! A reminder: as previously announced, 3.6.8 is planned to be the last bugfix release of the 3.6 series. Python 3.6.0 was released on 2016-12-23, so by the time 3.6.8 is released, 3.6.x will have been in bugfix mode almost exactly 2 years. When a new feature release is made and enters "bugfix" mode, our policy has long been to continue to maintain the previous bugfix branch for at least one more release and then move that branch to "security fix only" mode. 3.7.0 (and 3.6.6) was released nearly six months ago and, with the release of 3.6.8, there will have been two additional 3.6.x bugfix releases since then. So, barring any showstopper issues that might arise, the upcoming 3.6.8rc1 is your last chance to make bugfix changes for 3.6.x. Following the successful release of 3.6.8, only security fixes will be accepted for the 3.6 branch and future 3.6.x releases will be source-only and scheduled as needed; no further binary installers will be produced for 3.6. Refer to the Dev Guide sections and release PEPs linked below for more information. https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/ https://devguide.python.org/#branchstatus https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0494/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0537/ -- Ned Deily nad(a)python.org -- []

Governance vote results
by Antoine Pitrou 17 Dec '18

17 Dec '18

Hello, I think readers of this mailing-list could be interested in the vote's results, which have been published just today: https://discuss.python.org/t/python-governance-vote-december-2018-results/5… In short, PEP 8016 ("The Steering Council Model", by Nathaniel and Donald) will define how Python development operates going forward. I encourage people to read the long-form results at the URL above, since the detailed rankings provide valuable information about the committers' overall preference as well. The next step will probably be to elect the first Steering Council: https://discuss.python.org/t/organizing-the-council-elections/549 That election again will be reserved to Python committers. Regards Antoine.

[RELEASE] Python 3.7.2rc1 and 3.6.8rc1 now available for testing
by Ned Deily 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

https://blog.python.org/2018/12/python-372rc1-and-368rc1-now-available.html Python 3.7.2rc1 and 3.6.8rc1 are now available. 3.7.2rc1 is the release preview of the next maintenance release of Python 3.7, the latest feature release of Python. 3.6.8rc1 is the release preview of the next and last maintenance release of Python 3.6, the previous feature release of Python. Assuming no critical problems are found prior to 2018-12-20, no code changes are planned between these release candidates and the final releases. These release candidates are intended to give you the opportunity to test the new security and bug fixes in 3.7.2 and 3.6.8. We strongly encourage you to test your projects and report issues found to bugs.python.org as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that these are preview releases and, thus, their use is not recommended for production environments. You can find these releases and more information here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-372rc1/ https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-368rc1/ -- Ned Deily nad(a)python.org -- []

Usage of the multiprocessing API and object lifetime
by Victor Stinner 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

Hi, tzickel reported a reference cycle bug in multiprocessing which keeps threads and processes alive: https://bugs.python.org/issue34172 He wrote a fix which has been merged in 3.6, 3.7 and master branches. But Pablo Galindo noticed that the fix breaks the following code (he added "I found the weird code in the example in several projects."): import multiprocessing def the_test(): print("Begin") for x in multiprocessing.Pool().imap(int, ["4", "3"]): print(x) print("End") the_test() Pablo proposed to add a strong reference to the Pool from multiprocessing iterators: https://bugs.python.org/issue35378 I blocked his pull request because I see this change as a risk of new reference cycles. Since we are close to 3.6 and 3.7 releases, I decided to revert the multiprocessing fix instead. Pablo's issue35378 evolved to add a weak reference in iterators to try to detect when the Pool is destroyed: raise an exception from the iterator, if possible. Then a discussion started on how the multiprocessing API is supposed to be used and about the lifetime of multiprocessing objects. I would prefer to make the multiprocessing API stricter: Python shouldn't try to guess how long an object is going to live. The API user has to *explicitly* release resources. tzickel noted that the documentations says: "When the pool object is garbage collected terminate() will be called immediately." And that multiprocessing rely on the garbage collector to release resources, especially using multiprocessing.util.Finalize tool: class Finalize(object): ''' Class which supports object finalization using weakrefs ''' def __init__(self, obj, callback, ...): ... if obj is not None: self._weakref = weakref.ref(obj, self) else: assert exitpriority is not None ... _finalizer_registry[self._key] = self I propose to start to emit ResourceWarning in Python 3.8 when objects are not released explicitly. I wrote a first change to emit ResourceWarning in the Pool object: https://bugs.python.org/issue35424 https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/10974 By the way, I'm surprised that "with pool:" doesn't release all resources. An additional "pool.join()" is needed to ensure that all resources are released. It's a little bit surprising to have to emit a ResourceWarning if join() has not been called, even if the code uses "with pool:". I don't know well the multiprocessing API, so I'm not sure in which directions we should go: best effort to support strange legacy code with "implicit object lifetime", or become stricter in Python 3.8? >From a technical point of view, I would prefer to become stricter. Relying on the garbage collector means that the code is going to behave badly on PyPy which uses a different garbage collector implementation :-( Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.

> > Pablo's issue35378 evolved to add a weak reference in iterators to try > > to detect when the Pool is destroyed: raise an exception from the > > iterator, if possible. > That's an ok fix for me. I am playing with weakreferences inside the iterator and result objects, but this may not be enough/a complete solution. For example, take the code of ApplyResult.get: def get(self, timeout=None): if self._pool() is None: # self._pool is a weakref raise RuntimeError("The pool is dead. Aborting") <--- new code self.wait(timeout) It can be that the pool is alive when we check for it (self._pool() is None) but while the code is waiting with no timeout (timeout=None) the pool dies, effectively leaving the program deadlocked with no error. -- I agree that misusage of the pool should not be encouraged but in this situation the fact that this code hangs: import multiprocessing for x in multiprocessing.Pool().imap(int, ["4", "3"]): print(x) is a bit worriying because although is incorrect and an abuse of the API, users can do this easily with no error message other than a misterious hang. I have found this on several places and people were very confused because usually the interpreter throws some kind of error indication. In my humble opinion, we should try to avoid hanging as a consequence of the misusage, whatever we do. Pablo

I reverted "Add Windows App Store package" change
by Victor Stinner 08 Dec '18

08 Dec '18

Hi, I had to revert a change since it broke buildbots. Sadly, I don't have the bandwidth to investigate the failures and try to fix the change :-( A large change has been pushed into the 3.7 and master branches to "Add Windows App Store package": "Release Windows Store app containing Python" https://bugs.python.org/issue34977 These changes broke all Windows buildbots: "Almost all Windows buildbots are failing to compile" https://bugs.python.org/issue35437 So I reverted these two changes. It's a large change which mostly add new files, but also make changes in different files: --- commit 468a15aaf9206448a744fc5eab3fc21f51966aad Author: Steve Dower <steve.dower(a)microsoft.com> Date: Thu Dec 6 21:09:20 2018 -0800 bpo-34977: Add Windows App Store package (GH-10245) .azure-pipelines/windows-appx-test.yml | 65 +++ .gitattributes | 1 + Doc/make.bat | 2 + Lib/test/test_pathlib.py | 2 +- Lib/test/test_venv.py | 1 + Lib/venv/__init__.py | 49 +- .../2018-10-30-13-39-17.bpo-34977.0l7_QV.rst | 1 + PC/classicAppCompat.can.xml | Bin 0 -> 3978 bytes PC/classicAppCompat.cat | Bin 0 -> 10984 bytes PC/classicAppCompat.sccd | Bin 0 -> 18503 bytes PC/getpathp.c | 8 +- PC/icons/pythonwx150.png | Bin 0 -> 8187 bytes PC/icons/pythonwx44.png | Bin 0 -> 2232 bytes PC/icons/pythonx150.png | Bin 0 -> 8271 bytes PC/icons/pythonx44.png | Bin 0 -> 2178 bytes PC/icons/pythonx50.png | Bin 0 -> 2190 bytes PC/launcher.c | 220 +++++++- PC/layout/__init__.py | 0 PC/layout/__main__.py | 14 + PC/layout/main.py | 612 +++++++++++++++++++++ PC/layout/support/__init__.py | 0 PC/layout/support/appxmanifest.py | 487 ++++++++++++++++ PC/layout/support/catalog.py | 44 ++ PC/layout/support/constants.py | 28 + .../support/distutils.command.bdist_wininst.py | 25 + PC/layout/support/filesets.py | 100 ++++ PC/layout/support/logging.py | 93 ++++ PC/layout/support/options.py | 122 ++++ PC/layout/support/pip.py | 79 +++ PC/layout/support/props.py | 110 ++++ {Tools/nuget => PC/layout/support}/python.props | 0 PC/pylauncher.rc | 6 + PC/python_uwp.cpp | 226 ++++++++ PC/store_info.txt | 146 +++++ PCbuild/_tkinter.vcxproj | 6 + PCbuild/find_msbuild.bat | 10 + PCbuild/pcbuild.proj | 3 + PCbuild/pcbuild.sln | 72 +++ PCbuild/python.props | 3 +- PCbuild/python_uwp.vcxproj | 86 +++ PCbuild/pythoncore.vcxproj | 15 + PCbuild/pythonw_uwp.vcxproj | 86 +++ PCbuild/venvlauncher.vcxproj | 85 +++ PCbuild/venvwlauncher.vcxproj | 85 +++ Tools/msi/buildrelease.bat | 13 +- Tools/msi/make_appx.ps1 | 71 +++ Tools/msi/make_cat.ps1 | 34 ++ Tools/msi/make_zip.proj | 9 +- Tools/msi/make_zip.py | 250 --------- Tools/msi/sdktools.psm1 | 43 ++ Tools/msi/sign_build.ps1 | 34 ++ Tools/nuget/make_pkg.proj | 38 +- 52 files changed, 3053 insertions(+), 331 deletions(-) --- Note: the commit message is a single line. Now I have questions :-) It seems like the change is "experimental": https://bugs.python.org/issue34977#msg331267 """ Making the *release experimental* as part of the next 3.7 update was approved by Ned (over email), so I merged the build. As soon as we snap for the RC I'll kick off an update and make the store page public, and hopefully can promote it enough to get eyes on it. Unfortunately, I discovered as part of a test submission that the minimum Windows version matters, and it's a version that hasn't been rolled out fully yet *because of some bugs*, so there may not be that many people who can use it this first time. But that will *improve over time*, and I'm sure I can find enough people to flush out issues before the next release (anyone on the Windows Insiders program should be fine). """ If it's experimental, why pushing it *right now* to the 3.7 branch? Can't we wait until it's stable enough? Even if it's stable, I'm not sure sure that it should go into 3.7 which is a stable branch. I guess that Steve would like to get this feature into 3.7.2. Ned Deily (3.7 release changer) approved this change. The pull request was merged one week after it has been created, I don't see any review. https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/10245 In general, I'm fine with merging changes without any kind of review, when the change is small. I'm doing it *frequently* when I'm confident that the change is small and safe enough. But here, the change is quite large. Sadly, I know the problem: the lack of available developers for review. There are very few developers who know Windows and are available to provide a review. Sometimes, Zachary Ware or Eryk Sun are around and can help. I'm fine with iterating in the master branch, since the change seems to be separated from CPython core: it mostly add new files. My concern is more about changes on "Python itself": the venv and tests changes. In the middle of the large change, there is small change on the venv module: diff --git a/Lib/venv/__init__.py b/Lib/venv/__init__.py index 043420897e..5438b0d4e5 100644 --- a/Lib/venv/__init__.py +++ b/Lib/venv/__init__.py @@ -64,10 +64,11 @@ class EnvBuilder: self.system_site_packages = False self.create_configuration(context) self.setup_python(context) + if not self.upgrade: + self.setup_scripts(context) if self.with_pip: self._setup_pip(context) if not self.upgrade: - self.setup_scripts(context) self.post_setup(context) if true_system_site_packages: Moreover, the commit also changes tests: * Lib/test/test_pathlib.py * Lib/test/test_venv.py The commit message is just "bpo-34977: Add Windows App Store package (GH-10245)", it doesn't explain these changes. I would prefer to see these changes extracted into separated commits. Sadly, right now on the cpython project on GitHub, we are only allowed to squash all commits into a single commit (note: the individual commit in the PR doesn't explain these venv/tests changes neither). So I suggest to create multiple PRs (at least one for venv+pathlib changes and a second for the Windows AppStore). I guess that these changes are bugfixes or enhancement. Having a separated change should also ease to backport these changes up to 3.6 ;-) -- Jeremy Kloth just created: "Correctly detect installed SDK versions" https://bugs.python.org/issue35433 I'm not sure if it's related to the AppStore change? Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.
