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

PEP 616 -- String methods to remove prefixes and suffixes

by Dennis Sweeney

Browser Link: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0616/ PEP: 616 Title: String methods to remove prefixes and suffixes Author: Dennis Sweeney <sweeney.dennis650(a)gmail.com> Sponsor: Eric V. Smith <eric(a)trueblade.com> Status: Draft Type: Standards Track Content-Type: text/x-rst Created: 19-Mar-2020 Python-Version: 3.9 Post-History: 30-Aug-2002 Abstract ======== This is a proposal to add two new methods, ``cutprefix`` and ``cutsuffix``, to the APIs of Python's various string objects. In particular, the methods would be added to Unicode ``str`` objects, binary ``bytes`` and ``bytearray`` objects, and ``collections.UserString``. If ``s`` is one these objects, and ``s`` has ``pre`` as a prefix, then ``s.cutprefix(pre)`` returns a copy of ``s`` in which that prefix has been removed. If ``s`` does not have ``pre`` as a prefix, an unchanged copy of ``s`` is returned. In summary, ``s.cutprefix(pre)`` is roughly equivalent to ``s[len(pre):] if s.startswith(pre) else s``. The behavior of ``cutsuffix`` is analogous: ``s.cutsuffix(suf)`` is roughly equivalent to ``s[:-len(suf)] if suf and s.endswith(suf) else s``. Rationale ========= There have been repeated issues [#confusion]_ on the Bug Tracker and StackOverflow related to user confusion about the existing ``str.lstrip`` and ``str.rstrip`` methods. These users are typically expecting the behavior of ``cutprefix`` and ``cutsuffix``, but they are surprised that the parameter for ``lstrip`` is interpreted as a set of characters, not a substring. This repeated issue is evidence that these methods are useful, and the new methods allow a cleaner redirection of users to the desired behavior. As another testimonial for the usefulness of these methods, several users on Python-Ideas [#pyid]_ reported frequently including similar functions in their own code for productivity. The implementation often contained subtle mistakes regarding the handling of the empty string (see `Specification`_). Specification ============= The builtin ``str`` class will gain two new methods with roughly the following behavior:: def cutprefix(self: str, pre: str, /) -> str: if self.startswith(pre): return self[len(pre):] return self[:] def cutsuffix(self: str, suf: str, /) -> str: if suf and self.endswith(suf): return self[:-len(suf)] return self[:] The only difference between the real implementation and the above is that, as with other string methods like ``replace``, the methods will raise a ``TypeError`` if any of ``self``, ``pre`` or ``suf`` is not an instace of ``str``, and will cast subclasses of ``str`` to builtin ``str`` objects. Note that without the check for the truthyness of ``suf``, ``s.cutsuffix('')`` would be mishandled and always return the empty string due to the unintended evaluation of ``self[:-0]``. Methods with the corresponding semantics will be added to the builtin ``bytes`` and ``bytearray`` objects. If ``b`` is either a ``bytes`` or ``bytearray`` object, then ``b.cutsuffix()`` and ``b.cutprefix()`` will accept any bytes-like object as an argument. Note that the ``bytearray`` methods return a copy of ``self``; they do not operate in place. The following behavior is considered a CPython implementation detail, but is not guaranteed by this specification:: >>> x = 'foobar' * 10**6 >>> x.cutprefix('baz') is x is x.cutsuffix('baz') True >>> x.cutprefix('') is x is x.cutsuffix('') True That is, for CPython's immutable ``str`` and ``bytes`` objects, the methods return the original object when the affix is not found or if the affix is empty. Because these types test for equality using shortcuts for identity and length, the following equivalent expressions are evaluated at approximately the same speed, for any ``str`` objects (or ``bytes`` objects) ``x`` and ``y``:: >>> (True, x[len(y):]) if x.startswith(y) else (False, x) >>> (True, z) if x != (z := x.cutprefix(y)) else (False, x) The two methods will also be added to ``collections.UserString``, where they rely on the implementation of the new ``str`` methods. Motivating examples from the Python standard library ==================================================== The examples below demonstrate how the proposed methods can make code one or more of the following: Less fragile: The code will not depend on the user to count the length of a literal. More performant: The code does not require a call to the Python built-in ``len`` function. More descriptive: The methods give a higher-level API for code readability, as opposed to the traditional method of string slicing. refactor.py ----------- - Current:: if fix_name.startswith(self.FILE_PREFIX): fix_name = fix_name[len(self.FILE_PREFIX):] - Improved:: fix_name = fix_name.cutprefix(self.FILE_PREFIX) c_annotations.py: ----------------- - Current:: if name.startswith("c."): name = name[2:] - Improved:: name = name.cutprefix("c.") find_recursionlimit.py ---------------------- - Current:: if test_func_name.startswith("test_"): print(test_func_name[5:]) else: print(test_func_name) - Improved:: print(test_finc_name.cutprefix("test_")) deccheck.py ----------- This is an interesting case because the author chose to use the ``str.replace`` method in a situation where only a prefix was intended to be removed. - Current:: if funcname.startswith("context."): self.funcname = funcname.replace("context.", "") self.contextfunc = True else: self.funcname = funcname self.contextfunc = False - Improved:: if funcname.startswith("context."): self.funcname = funcname.cutprefix("context.") self.contextfunc = True else: self.funcname = funcname self.contextfunc = False - Arguably further improved:: self.contextfunc = funcname.startswith("context.") self.funcname = funcname.cutprefix("context.") test_i18n.py ------------ - Current:: if test_func_name.startswith("test_"): print(test_func_name[5:]) else: print(test_func_name) - Improved:: print(test_finc_name.cutprefix("test_")) - Current:: if creationDate.endswith('\\n'): creationDate = creationDate[:-len('\\n')] - Improved:: creationDate = creationDate.cutsuffix('\\n') shared_memory.py ---------------- - Current:: reported_name = self._name if _USE_POSIX and self._prepend_leading_slash: if self._name.startswith("/"): reported_name = self._name[1:] return reported_name - Improved:: if _USE_POSIX and self._prepend_leading_slash: return self._name.cutprefix("/") return self._name build-installer.py ------------------ - Current:: if archiveName.endswith('.tar.gz'): retval = os.path.basename(archiveName[:-7]) if ((retval.startswith('tcl') or retval.startswith('tk')) and retval.endswith('-src')): retval = retval[:-4] - Improved:: if archiveName.endswith('.tar.gz'): retval = os.path.basename(archiveName[:-7]) if retval.startswith(('tcl', 'tk')): retval = retval.cutsuffix('-src') Depending on personal style, ``archiveName[:-7]`` could also be changed to ``archiveName.cutsuffix('.tar.gz')``. test_core.py ------------ - Current:: if output.endswith("\n"): output = output[:-1] - Improved:: output = output.cutsuffix("\n") cookiejar.py ------------ - Current:: def strip_quotes(text): if text.startswith('"'): text = text[1:] if text.endswith('"'): text = text[:-1] return text - Improved:: def strip_quotes(text): return text.cutprefix('"').cutsuffix('"') - Current:: if line.endswith("\n"): line = line[:-1] - Improved:: line = line.cutsuffix("\n") fixdiv.py --------- - Current:: def chop(line): if line.endswith("\n"): return line[:-1] else: return line - Improved:: def chop(line): return line.cutsuffix("\n") test_concurrent_futures.py -------------------------- In the following example, the meaning of the code changes slightly, but in context, it behaves the same. - Current:: if name.endswith(('Mixin', 'Tests')): return name[:-5] elif name.endswith('Test'): return name[:-4] else: return name - Improved:: return name.cutsuffix('Mixin').cutsuffix('Tests').cutsuffix('Test') msvc9compiler.py ---------------- - Current:: if value.endswith(os.pathsep): value = value[:-1] - Improved:: value = value.cutsuffix(os.pathsep) test_pathlib.py --------------- - Current:: self.assertTrue(r.startswith(clsname + '('), r) self.assertTrue(r.endswith(')'), r) inner = r[len(clsname) + 1 : -1] - Improved:: self.assertTrue(r.startswith(clsname + '('), r) self.assertTrue(r.endswith(')'), r) inner = r.cutprefix(clsname + '(').cutsuffix(')') Rejected Ideas ============== Expand the lstrip and rstrip APIs --------------------------------- Because ``lstrip`` takes a string as its argument, it could be viewed as taking an iterable of length-1 strings. The API could therefore be generalized to accept any iterable of strings, which would be successively removed as prefixes. While this behavior would be consistent, it would not be obvious for users to have to call ``'foobar'.cutprefix(('foo,))`` for the common use case of a single prefix. Allow multiple prefixes ----------------------- Some users discussed the desire to be able to remove multiple prefixes, calling, for example, ``s.cutprefix('From: ', 'CC: ')``. However, this adds ambiguity about the order in which the prefixes are removed, especially in cases like ``s.cutprefix('Foo', 'FooBar')``. After this proposal, this can be spelled explicitly as ``s.cutprefix('Foo').cutprefix('FooBar')``. Remove multiple copies of a prefix ---------------------------------- This is the behavior that would be consistent with the aforementioned expansion of the ``lstrip/rstrip`` API -- repeatedly applying the function until the argument is unchanged. This behavior is attainable from the proposed behavior via the following:: >>> s = 'foo' * 100 + 'bar' >>> while s != (s := s.cutprefix("foo")): pass >>> s 'bar' The above can be modififed by chaining multiple ``cutprefix`` calls together to achieve the full behavior of the ``lstrip``/``rstrip`` generalization, while being explicit in the order of removal. While the proposed API could later be extended to include some of these use cases, to do so before any observation of how these methods are used in practice would be premature and may lead to choosing the wrong behavior. Raising an exception when not found ----------------------------------- There was a suggestion that ``s.cutprefix(pre)`` should raise an exception if ``not s.startswith(pre)``. However, this does not match with the behavior and feel of other string methods. There could be ``required=False`` keyword added, but this violates the KISS principle. Alternative Method Names ------------------------ Several alternatives method names have been proposed. Some are listed below, along with commentary for why they should be rejected in favor of ``cutprefix`` (the same arguments hold for ``cutsuffix``) ``ltrim`` "Trim" does in other languages (e.g. JavaScript, Java, Go, PHP) what ``strip`` methods do in Python. ``lstrip(string=...)`` This would avoid adding a new method, but for different behavior, it's better to have two different methods than one method with a keyword argument that select the behavior. ``cut_prefix`` All of the other methods of the string API, e.g. ``str.startswith()``, use ``lowercase`` rather than ``lower_case_with_underscores``. ``cutleft``, ``leftcut``, or ``lcut`` The explicitness of "prefix" is preferred. ``removeprefix``, ``deleteprefix``, ``withoutprefix``, etc. All of these might have been acceptable, but they have more characters than ``cut``. Some suggested that the verb "cut" implies mutability, but the string API already contains verbs like "replace", "strip", "split", and "swapcase". ``stripprefix`` Users may benefit from the mnemonic that "strip" means working with sets of characters, while other methods work with substrings, so re-using "strip" here should be avoided.

Moving threadstate to thread-local storage.

by Mark Shannon

Hi, As an experiment, I thought I would try moving the thread state (what you get from _PyThreadState_GET() ) to TLS. https://github.com/python/cpython/compare/master...markshannon:threadstate_… It works, passing all the tests, and seems sound. It is a small patch (< 50 lines) and doesn't increase the overall code size. My branch is GCC/Clang only, so will need a bit of extra code for Windows. It should only need a few more lines; I haven't done it as I don't have a Windows machine to test it on. This is a *much* cleaner approach to removing the global variable than adding lots of extra parameters all over the place. Cheers, Mark.

REMINDER: report conduct issues to the Conduct WG

by Brett Cannon

The steering council wants to remind folks that if you have witnessed or experienced any conduct that you think may go against the PSF Code of Conduct to please report those incidents to conduct(a)python.org. This includes reporting micro-aggressions like feeling dismissed so that any pattern of such behaviour can be detected and handled as a larger issue. If you are on the fence of reporting something we encourage you to report the incident and let the Conduct WG make the decision as to how to handle the report. https://www.python.org/psf/conduct/ https://www.python.org/psf/conduct/reporting/

PEP 615: Support for IANA Time Zones in the Standard Library

by Paul Ganssle

Greetings! Last year at the Language Summit, I proposed to add additional concrete time zones to the standard library <https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2019/05/paul-ganssle-time-zones-in-standard.ht…> . After much work and much more procrastination, I now have now put together my first proposal: support for the IANA time zone database <https://www.iana.org/time-zones> (also called tz, zoneinfo or the Olson database; Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database> ). Last week, I submitted it for consideration as PEP 615 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0615/>. I originally posted it on the discourse last week, and advertised the discussion on some interest-group-specific fora (tz mailing list, datetime-SIG mailing list), but I think it is ready to be advertised to a wider forum, so I am posting it here for your consideration. Please direct comments to the discourse thread, so that the discussion can be as centralized as possible: https://discuss.python.org/t/3468 <https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-615-support-for-the-iana-time-zone-databas…>. Links for easy access: PEP 615: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0615/ Reference implementation: https://github.com/pganssle/zoneinfo tzdata repo: https://github.com/pganssle/tzdata Thanks! Paul

Enum._convert should change __repr__ and/or __str__ to use module name instead of class name

by Ethan Furman

Serhiy had the idea of having Enum._convert also modify the __str__ and __repr__ of newly created enumerations to display the module name instead of the enumeration name (https://bugs.python.org/msg325007): --> socket.AF_UNIX <AddressFamily.AF_UNIX: 1> ==> <socket.AF_UNIX: 1> --> print(socket.AF_UNIX) AddressFamily.AF_UNIX ==> socket.AF_UNIX Thoughts? -- ~Ethan~

Clean memory on C trace

by Leandro Müller

Hi. I need to clean memory on function on PyEval_SetTrace. When the python code run a while test, the memory consumption goes up a lot (99% of the system). exemple: while 1 == 1: pass My trace function is simple. static map<char *, int, cmp_str> session_debug_user; char *user_console; int trace_trampoline( PyObject *obj, PyFrameObject *frame, int event, PyObject *arg) { try { //check if user has debug session if (session_debug_user.count(user_console) == 0) { return 0; } return 0; } PyObject *sys_settrace(PyObject *mod, PyObject *obj) { user_console = get_variable_char(obj, 0); PyEval_SetTrace(trace_trampoline, obj); return Py_None; } [cid:607bbc5e-5dd8-4a8b-ad96-dc31dce274a9] Att.
