Summary of changes:
1. Coroutines now have a distinct, separate from generators
type at the C level: PyGen_Type, and a new typedef PyCoroObject.
PyCoroObject shares the initial segment of struct layout with
PyGenObject, making it possible to reuse existing generators
machinery. The new type is exposed as 'types.CoroutineType'.
As a consequence of having a new type, CO_GENERATOR flag is
no longer applied to coroutines.
2. Having a separate type for coroutines made it possible to add
an __await__ method to the type. Although it is not used by the
interpreter (see details on that below), it makes coroutines
naturally (without using __instancecheck__) conform to
collections.abc.Coroutine and collections.abc.Awaitable ABCs.
[The __instancecheck__ is still used for generator-based
coroutines, as we don't want to add __await__ for generators.]
3. Add new opcode: GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER. The opcode is needed to
allow passing native coroutines to the YIELD_FROM opcode.
Before this change, 'yield from o' expression was compiled to:
(o)
GET_ITER
LOAD_CONST
YIELD_FROM
Now, we use GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER instead of GET_ITER.
The reason for adding a new opcode is that GET_ITER is used
in some contexts (such as 'for .. in' loops) where passing
a coroutine object is invalid.
4. Add two new introspection functions to the inspec module:
getcoroutinestate(c) and getcoroutinelocals(c).
5. inspect.iscoroutine(o) is updated to test if 'o' is a native
coroutine object. Before this commit it used abc.Coroutine,
and it was requested to update inspect.isgenerator(o) to use
abc.Generator; it was decided, however, that inspect functions
should really be tailored for checking for native types.
6. sys.set_coroutine_wrapper(w) API is updated to work with only
native coroutines. Since types.coroutine decorator supports
any type of callables now, it would be confusing that it does
not work for all types of coroutines.
7. Exceptions logic in generators C implementation was updated
to raise clearer messages for coroutines:
Before: TypeError("generator raised StopIteration")
After: TypeError("coroutine raised StopIteration")
- CoroWrapper.__del__() now reuses repr(CoroWrapper) to log the "... was never
yielded from" warning
- Improve CoroWrapper: copy also the qualified name on Python 3.4, not only on
Python 3.5+
- repr(Task) and repr(CoroWrapper) now also includes where these objects were
created. If the coroutine is not a generator (don't use "yield from"), use
the location of the function, not the location of the coro() wrapper.
- Fix create_task(): truncate the traceback to hide the call to create_task().
- Tulip issue #181: Faster create_connection(). Call directly
waiter.set_result() in the constructor of _ProactorBasePipeTransport and
_SelectorSocketTransport, instead of using of delaying the call with
call_soon().
- Cleanup iscoroutine()
* _UnixSubprocessTransport: fix file mode of stdin. Open stdin in write mode,
not in read mode
* Examples: close the event loop at exit
* More reliable CoroWrapper.__del__. If the constructor is interrupted by
KeyboardInterrupt or the coroutine objet is destroyed lately, some the
_source_traceback attribute doesn't exist anymore.
* repr(Task): include also the future the task is waiting for
- Sort imports
- Simplify/optimize iscoroutine(). Inline inspect.isgenerator(obj): replace it
with isinstance(obj, types.GeneratorType)
- CoroWrapper: check at runtime if Python has the yield-from bug #21209. If
Python has the bug, check if CoroWrapper.send() was called by yield-from to
decide if parameters must be unpacked or not.
- Fix "Task was destroyed but it is pending!" warning in
test_task_source_traceback()
