Several of the introspection changes in Python 3.4 are indirect,
where inspect module changes affected pydoc, and those in turn
affected the help builtin. This update adds versionchanged
notes in the key locations, as well as more coverage in the
What's New document (in particular, a note in the porting
section regarding the expanded domain for inspect.getfullargspec).
PyMethodDescr_Type, _PyMethodWrapper_Type, and PyWrapperDescr_Type)
have been modified to provide introspection information for builtins.
Also: many additional Lib, test suite, and Argument Clinic fixes.
- cross-references and attributions for inspect changes
- note improvements to inspect and pydoc handling of
metaclasses and dynamic attributes (courtesy of the
enum PEP)
- group all CPython implementation specific changes
into a common section
- add see also links for most of the PEPs
- fix the see also link for the release PEP
- add suitable caveats on Argument Clinic inclusion
- clarify the change to __wrapped__ handling
Order of search is now:
1. Try getattr
2. If that throws an exception, check __dict__ directly
3. If still not found, walk the mro looking for the eldest class that has
the attribute (e.g. things returned by __getattr__)
4. If none of that works (e.g. due to a buggy __dir__, __getattr__, etc.
method or missing __slot__ attribute), ignore the attribute entirely.
importlib.machinery that provide the suffix details for import.
The attributes were not put on imp so as to compartmentalize
everything importlib needs for setting up imports in
importlib.machinery.
This also led to an indirect deprecation of inspect.getmoduleinfo() as
it directly returned imp.get_suffix's returned tuple which no longer
makes sense.
