Hi all, It's finally time to schedule the last releases in Python 2's life. There will be two more releases of Python 2.7: Python 2.7.17 and Python 2.7.18. Python 2.7.17 release candidate 1 will happen on October 5th followed by the final release on October 19th. I'm going to time Python 2.7.18 to coincide with PyCon 2020 in April, so attendees can enjoy some collective catharsis. We'll still say January 1st is the official EOL date. Thanks to Sumana Harihareswara, there's now a FAQ about the Python 2 sunset on the website: https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/ Regards, Benjamin

Last call for comments on PEP 573 (Module State Access from C Extension Methods)

by Stefan Behnel

Hi all, I think that PEP 573 is ready to be accepted, to greatly improve the state of extension modules in CPython 3.9. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0573/ It has come a long way since the original proposal and went through several iterations and discussions by various interested people, effectively reducing its scope quite a bit. So this is the last call for comments on the latest version of the PEP, before I will pronounce on it. Please keep the discussion in this thread. Stefan

Stalemate on bringing back PEP 523 support into Python 3.8

by Brett Cannon

An unfortunate side-effect of making PyInterpreterState in Python 3.8 opaque is it removed [PEP 523](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0523/) support. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0523/ was opened to try and fix this, but there seems to be a stalemate in the issue. A key question is at what API level should setting the frame evaluation function live at? No one is suggesting the stable ABI, but there isn't agreement between CPython or the internal API (there's also seems to be a suggestion to potentially remove PEP 523 support entirely). And regardless of either, there also seems to be a disagreement about providing getters and setters to continue to try and hide PyInterpreterState regardless of which API level support is provided at (if any). If you have an opinion please weight in on the issue.

Request to postpone some Python 3.9 incompatible changes to Python 3.10

by Victor Stinner

Hi, Python 3.9 introduces many small incompatible changes which broke tons of Python projects, including popular projects, some of them being unmaintained but still widely used (like nose, last release in 2015). Miro and me consider that Python 3.9 is pushing too much pressure on projects maintainers to either abandon Python 2.7 right now (need to update the CI, the documentation, warn users, etc.), or to introduce a *new* compatibility layer to support Python 3.9: layer which would be dropped as soon as Python 2.7 support will be dropped (soon-ish). Python 3.9 is too early to accumulate so many incompatible changes on purpose, some incompatible changes like the removal of collections aliases to ABC should be reverted, and reapplied on Python 3.10. Python 3.9 would be the last release which still contain compatibility layers for Python 2.7. Said differently, we request to maintain the small compatibility layer in Python for one more cycle, instead of requesting every single project maintainer to maintain it on their side. We consider that the general maintenance burden is lower if it's kept in Python for now. == Fedora COPR notify packages broken by Python 3.9 == In Python 3.9, Victor introduced tons of incompatible changes at the beginning of the devcycle. His plan was to push as many as possible, and later decide what to do... This time has come :-) He wrote PEP 606 "Python Compatibility Version" and we wrote PEP 608 "Coordinated Python release", but both have been rejected. At least, it seems like most people agreed that having a CI to get notified of broken projects should help. We are updating the future Fedora 33 to replace Python 3.8 with Python 3.9. We are using a tool called "COPR" which is like a sandbox and can be seen as the CI discussed previously. It rebuilds Fedora using Python 3.9 as /usr/bin/python3 (and /usr/bin/python !). We now have a good overview of broken packages and which incompatible changes broke most packages. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python3.9 - Describes the Fedora change. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.9/monitor/ - Has package failures. Some packages fail because of broken dependencies. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=PYTHON39 - Has open Python 3.9 bug reports for Fedora packages. Some problems have been fixed upstream already before reaching Fedora, most are only fixed when the Fedora maintainers report the problems back to upstream maintainers. Right now, there are 150+ packages broken by Python 3.9 incompatible changes. == Maintenance burden == Many Python projects have not yet removed Python 2 support and Python 2 CI. It's not that they would be in the "we will not drop Python 2 support ever" camp, it's just that they have not done it yet. Removing Python 2 compatibility code from the codebase and removing it from the documentation and metadata and CI is a boring task, doesn't bring anything to users, and it might take a new major release of the library. At this point, we are very early in 2020 to expect most projects to have already done this. At the same time, we would like them to support Python 3.9 as soon in the release cycle as possible. By removing Python 2 compatibility layers from the 3.9 standard library, we are forcing the projects maintainers to re-invent their own compatibility layers and copy-paste stuff like this around. Example: try: from collections.abc import Sequence except ImprotError: # Python 2.7 doesn't have collections.abc from collections import Sequence While if we remove collections.Sequence in 3.10, they will face this decision early in 2021 and they will simply fix their code by adding ".abc" at the proper places, not needing any more compatibility layers. Of course, there will be projects that will still have declared Python 2 support in 2021, but it will arguably not be that many. While it's certainly tempting to have "more pure" code in the standard library, maintaining the compatibility shims for one more release isn't really that big of a maintenance burden, especially when comparing with dozens (hundreds?) of third party libraries essentially maintaining their own. An good example of a broken package is the nose project which is no longer maintained (according to their website): the last release was in 2015. It remains a very popular test runner. According to libraries.io, it has with 3 million downloads per month, 41.7K dependent repositories and 325 dependent packages. We patched nose in Fedora to fix Python 3.5, 3.6, 3.8 and now 3.9 compatibility issues. People installing nose from PyPI with "pip install" get the unmaintained flavor which is currently completely broken on Python 3.9. Someone should take over the nose project and maintain it again, or every single project using nose should pick another tool (unittest, nose2, pytest, whatever else). Both options will take a lot of time. == Request to revert some incompatible changes == See https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.9.html#removed Incompatible changes which require "if <python3>: (...) else: (...)" or "try: <python3 code> except (...): <python2 code>": * Removed tostring/fromstring methods in array.array and base64 modules * Removed collections aliases to ABC classes * Removed fractions.gcd() function (which is similar to math.gcd()) * Remove "U" mode of open(): having to use io.open() just for Python 2 makes the code uglier * Removed old plistlib API: 2.7 doesn't have the new API == Kept incompatible changes == Ok-ish incompatible changes (mostly only affects compatiblity libraries like six): * _dummy_thread and dummy_threading modules removed: broke six, nine and future projects. six and nine are already fixed for 3.9. OK incompatible changes (can be replaced by the same code on 2.7 and 3.9): * isAlive() method of threading.Thread has been removed: Thread.is_alive() method is available in 2.7 and 3.9 * xml.etree.ElementTree.getchildren() and xml.etree.ElementTree.getiterator() methods are removed from 3.9, but list()/iter() works in 2.7 and 3.9 == Call to check for DeprecationWarning in your own projects == You must pay attention to DeprecationWarning in Python 3.9: it will be the last "compatibility layer" release, incompatible changes will be reapplied to Python 3.10. For example, you can use the development mode to see DeprecationWarning and ResourceWarning: use the "-X dev" command line option or set the PYTHONDEVMODE=1 environment variable. Or you can use the PYTHONWARNINGS=default environment variable to see DeprecationWarning. You might even want to treat all warnings as errors to ensure that you don't miss any when you run your test suite in your CI. You can use PYTHONWARNINGS=error, and combine it with PYTHONDEVMODE=1. Warnings filters can be used to ignore warnings in third party code, see the documentation: https://docs.python.org/dev/library/warnings.html#the-warnings-filter -- Victor Stinner and Miro Hrončok for Fedora

Comments on PEP 558 (Defined semantics for locals() )

by Mark Shannon

Hi, First of all I want to say that I'm very much in favour of the general idea behind PEP 558. Defined semantics is always better than undefined semantics :) However, I think there are a few changes needed: 1. Don't add anything to the C API, please. Frame attributes can be accessed via `PyObject_GetAttr[String]`. 2. Don't make the behaviour dependent on whether "tracing" is turned on. Doing so forces debuggers to use sys.settrace which is horribly slow. It also makes the implementation more complex, and has no benefit AFAICT. 3. Don't store write-through proxies in the frame, but make proxies retain a reference to the frame. This would reduce the size and complexity of code for handling frames. Clean up of the frame would occur naturally via reference count when all proxies have been reclaimed. The proposed implementation is hard to reason about and I am not confident that it will not introduce some new subtle bugs to replace the ones it seeks to remove. Any implementation that has functions with "Borrow" and "BreakCycles" in their names makes me nervous. A simpler conceptual model, which I believe could be made reliable, would be: No change for non-function frames (as PEP 558 currently proposes). Each access to `frame.f_locals` (for function frames) should return a new proxy object. This proxy object would have dict-like, write-through semantics for variables in the frame. For keys that do not match variable names, an exception would be raised. This means that all proxies for a single frame will have value equivalence; object equivalence is not needed. I.e. for a frame `f`, `f.f_locals == f.f_locals` would be True, even though `f.f_locals is f.f_locals` would be False. Cheers, Mark.

PEP 458: Secure PyPI downloads with package signing

by Sumana Harihareswara

Hi! I'm forwarding this on behalf of Marina Moore https://github.com/mnm678 . - Sumana Harihareswara --- PEP 458 ( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0458/ ) proposes using The Update Framework (TUF) to allow users of PyPI to verify that the packages they install originate from PyPI. Implementing this PEP would provide protection in the event of an attack on PyPI, its mirrors, or the network used to install packages. We started this PEP in 2013, and have recently revised it and restarted discussion. Recent discussion and revision of the PEP has been taking place on Discourse ( https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-458-secure-pypi-downloads-with-package-sig… ). The PEP is ready for review and I look forward to your feedback! Thanks, Marina Moore PEP 458 coauthor

extern "C" { ... } in Include/cpython/*.h

by Skip Montanaro

(Apologies. Not sure where to ask this, and I'm not much of a C++ programmer. Maybe I should have just added a comment to the still-open issue.) I just noticed that Nick migrated the guts of Include/frameobject.h to include/cpython/frameobject.h. It's not clear to me that the latter should be #include'd directly from anywhere other than Include/frameobject.h. If that's the case, does the extern "C" stuff still need to be replicated in the lower level file? Won't the scope of the extern "C" block in Include/frameobject.h be active at the lower level? Whatever the correct answer is, I suspect the same constraints should apply to all Include/cpython/*.h files. Skip

Maintenance of multiprocessing module: there are a few stalled issues/patches

by mailer＠app.tempr.email

Couldn't help but notice that there are quite a few stalled issues/patches, some of them for years even. :-/ So I thought, it might help to bump them here on the mailing list. https://bugs.python.org/issue28053https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/99…
