The open() was missing 'w' to indicate it was in a write-mode.
Even then, the open().close() operation was distracting because
it is an unusual way to "touch" as file. Using os.remove()
instead is simpler and less distracting.
The limited C API is now supported if Python is built in debug mode
(if the Py_DEBUG macro is defined). In the limited C API, the
Py_INCREF() and Py_DECREF() functions are now implemented as opaque
function calls, rather than accessing directly the PyObject.ob_refcnt
member, if Python is built in debug mode and the Py_LIMITED_API macro
targets Python 3.10 or newer. It became possible to support the
limited C API in debug mode because the PyObject structure is the
same in release and debug mode since Python 3.8 (see bpo-36465).
The limited C API is still not supported in the --with-trace-refs
special build (Py_TRACE_REFS macro).
The stable_abi.py script no longer parse macros. Macro targets can be
static inline functions which are not part of the stable ABI, only
part of the limited C API.
Run "make regen-limited-abi" to exclude PyType_HasFeature from
Doc/data/stable_abi.dat.
* Enum: streamline repr() and str(); improve docs
- repr() is now ``enum_class.member_name``
- stdlib global enums are ``module_name.member_name``
- str() is now ``member_name``
- add HOW-TO section for ``Enum``
- change main documentation to be an API reference
See [PEP 597](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0597/).
* Add `-X warn_default_encoding` and `PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING`.
* Add EncodingWarning
* Add io.text_encoding()
* open(), TextIOWrapper() emits EncodingWarning when encoding is omitted and warn_default_encoding is enabled.
* _pyio.TextIOWrapper() uses UTF-8 as fallback default encoding used when failed to import locale module. (used during building Python)
* bz2, configparser, gzip, lzma, pathlib, tempfile modules use io.text_encoding().
* What's new entry
It doesn't actually affect whether match_hostname() is called (it
never is in this context any longer), but whether hostname
verification occurs in the first place.
pprint() gains a new boolean underscore_numbers kwarg to emit
integers with thousands separated by an underscore character
for improved readability (for example 1_000_000 instead of 1000000).
Remove the pyarena.h header file with functions:
* PyArena_New()
* PyArena_Free()
* PyArena_Malloc()
* PyArena_AddPyObject()
These functions were undocumented, excluded from the limited C API,
and were only used internally by the compiler.
Add pycore_pyarena.h header. Rename functions:
* PyArena_New() => _PyArena_New()
* PyArena_Free() => _PyArena_Free()
* PyArena_Malloc() => _PyArena_Malloc()
* PyArena_AddPyObject() => _PyArena_AddPyObject()
Remove parser functions using the "struct _mod" type, because the
AST C API was removed:
* PyParser_ASTFromFile()
* PyParser_ASTFromFileObject()
* PyParser_ASTFromFilename()
* PyParser_ASTFromString()
* PyParser_ASTFromStringObject()
These functions were undocumented and excluded from the limited C
API.
Add pycore_parser.h internal header file. Rename functions:
* PyParser_ASTFromFileObject() => _PyParser_ASTFromFile()
* PyParser_ASTFromStringObject() => _PyParser_ASTFromString()
These functions are no longer exported (replace PyAPI_FUNC() with
extern).
Remove also _PyPegen_run_parser_from_file() function. Update
test_peg_generator to use _PyPegen_run_parser_from_file_pointer()
instead.
Remove the compiler functions using "struct _mod" type, because the
public AST C API was removed:
* PyAST_Compile()
* PyAST_CompileEx()
* PyAST_CompileObject()
* PyFuture_FromAST()
* PyFuture_FromASTObject()
These functions were undocumented and excluded from the limited C API.
Rename functions:
* PyAST_CompileObject() => _PyAST_Compile()
* PyFuture_FromASTObject() => _PyFuture_FromAST()
Moreover, _PyFuture_FromAST() is no longer exported (replace
PyAPI_FUNC() with extern). _PyAST_Compile() remains exported for
test_peg_generator.
Remove also compatibility functions:
* PyAST_Compile()
* PyAST_CompileEx()
* PyFuture_FromAST()
These functions were undocumented and excluded from the limited C
API.
Most names defined by these header files were not prefixed by "Py"
and so could create names conflicts. For example, Python-ast.h
defined a "Yield" macro which was conflict with the "Yield" name used
by the Windows <winbase.h> header.
Use the Python ast module instead.
* Move Include/asdl.h to Include/internal/pycore_asdl.h.
* Move Include/Python-ast.h to Include/internal/pycore_ast.h.
* Remove ast.h header file.
* pycore_symtable.h no longer includes Python-ast.h.
Stefan Krah requested the reversal of these (unreleased) changes, quoting him:
> The capsule API does not meet my testing standards, since I've focused
on the upstream mpdecimal in the last couple of months.
> Additionally, I'd like to refine the API, perhaps together with the
Arrow community.

Rename Include/symtable.h to to Include/internal/pycore_symtable.h,
don't export symbols anymore (replace PyAPI_FUNC and PyAPI_DATA with
extern) and rename functions:
* PyST_GetScope() to _PyST_GetScope()
* PySymtable_BuildObject() to _PySymtable_Build()
* PySymtable_Free() to _PySymtable_Free()
Remove PySymtable_Build(), Py_SymtableString() and
Py_SymtableStringObject() functions.
The Py_SymtableString() function was part the stable ABI by mistake
but it could not be used, since the symtable.h header file was
excluded from the limited C API.
The Python symtable module remains available and is unchanged.
Remove the PyAST_Validate() function. It is no longer possible to
build a AST object (mod_ty type) with the public C API. The function
was already excluded from the limited C API (PEP 384).
Rename PyAST_Validate() function to _PyAST_Validate(), move it to the
internal C API, and don't export it anymore (replace PyAPI_FUNC with
extern).
The function was added in bpo-12575 by
the commit 832bfe2ebd.
