This article explains the new features in Python 3.13, compared to 3.12.
For full details, see the :ref:`changelog <changelog>`.
Note
Prerelease users should be aware that this document is currently in draft form. It will be updated substantially as Python 3.13 moves towards release, so it's worth checking back even after reading earlier versions.
- Allow the count argument of :meth:`str.replace` to be a keyword. (Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :gh:`106487`.)
- Compiler now strip indents from docstrings.
This will reduce the size of :term:`bytecode cache <bytecode>` (e.g.
.pyc
file). For example, cache file size forsqlalchemy.orm.session
in SQLAlchemy 2.0 is reduced by about 5%. This change will affect tools using docstrings, like :mod:`doctest`. (Contributed by Inada Naoki in :gh:`81283`.) - The :func:`compile` built-in can now accept a new flag,
ast.PyCF_OPTIMIZED_AST
, which is similar toast.PyCF_ONLY_AST
except that the returnedAST
is optimized according to the value of theoptimize
argument. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`108113`).
- None yet.
- :func:`ast.parse` now accepts an optional argument
optimize
which is passed on to the :func:`compile` built-in. This makes it possible to obtain an optimizedAST
. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`108113`).
- Add
'w'
type code (Py_UCS4
) that can be used for Unicode strings. It can be used instead of'u'
type code, which is deprecated. (Contributed by Inada Naoki in :gh:`80480`.)
- Add :meth:`dbm.gnu.gdbm.clear` and :meth:`dbm.ndbm.ndbm.clear` methods that remove all items from the database. (Contributed by Dong-hee Na in :gh:`107122`.)
- The :meth:`doctest.DocTestRunner.run` method now counts the number of skipped tests. Add :attr:`doctest.DocTestRunner.skips` and :attr:`doctest.TestResults.skipped` attributes. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108794`.)
The :class:`io.IOBase` finalizer now logs the close()
method errors with
:data:`sys.unraisablehook`. Previously, errors were ignored silently by default,
and only logged in :ref:`Python Development Mode <devmode>` or on :ref:`Python
built on debug mode <debug-build>`.
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`62948`.)
- Move
opcode.ENABLE_SPECIALIZATION
to_opcode.ENABLE_SPECIALIZATION
. This field was added in 3.12, it was never documented and is not intended for external usage. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`105481`.) - Removed
opcode.is_pseudo
,opcode.MIN_PSEUDO_OPCODE
andopcode.MAX_PSEUDO_OPCODE
, which were added in 3.12, were never documented or exposed throughdis
, and were not intended to be used externally.
- Add :exc:`pathlib.UnsupportedOperation`, which is raised instead of :exc:`NotImplementedError` when a path operation isn't supported. (Contributed by Barney Gale in :gh:`89812`.)
- Add support for recursive wildcards in :meth:`pathlib.PurePath.match`. (Contributed by Barney Gale in :gh:`73435`.)
- Add follow_symlinks keyword-only argument to :meth:`pathlib.Path.glob`, :meth:`~pathlib.Path.rglob`, :meth:`~pathlib.Path.is_file`, and :meth:`~pathlib.Path.is_dir`. (Contributed by Barney Gale in :gh:`77609` and :gh:`105793`.)
- Add ability to move between chained exceptions during post mortem debugging in :func:`~pdb.pm` using
the new
exceptions [exc_number]
command for Pdb. (Contributed by Matthias Bussonnier in :gh:`106676`.)
- A :exc:`ResourceWarning` is now emitted if a :class:`sqlite3.Connection` object is not :meth:`closed <sqlite3.Connection.close>` explicitly. (Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :gh:`105539`.)
- Add :mod:`tkinter` widget methods: :meth:`!tk_busy_hold`, :meth:`!tk_busy_configure`, :meth:`!tk_busy_cget`, :meth:`!tk_busy_forget`, :meth:`!tk_busy_current`, and :meth:`!tk_busy_status`. (Contributed by Miguel, klappnase and Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`72684`.)
- Add show_group paramter to :func:`traceback.TracebackException.format_exception_only` to format the nested exceptions of a :exc:`BaseExceptionGroup` instance, recursively. (Contributed by Irit Katriel in :gh:`105292`.)
- Add :func:`typing.get_protocol_members` to return the set of members defining a :class:`typing.Protocol`. Add :func:`typing.is_protocol` to check whether a class is a :class:`typing.Protocol`. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in :gh:`104873`.)
- :func:`textwrap.indent` is now ~30% faster than before for large input. (Contributed by Inada Naoki in :gh:`107369`.)
:mod:`array`: :mod:`array`'s
'u'
format code, deprecated in docs since Python 3.3, emits :exc:`DeprecationWarning` since 3.13 and will be removed in Python 3.16. Use the'w'
format code instead. (contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in :gh:`80480`):mod:`ctypes`: Deprecate undocumented :func:`!ctypes.SetPointerType` and :func:`!ctypes.ARRAY` functions. Replace
ctypes.ARRAY(item_type, size)
withitem_type * size
. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105733`.):mod:`getopt` and :mod:`optparse` modules: They are now :term:`soft deprecated`: the :mod:`argparse` should be used for new projects. Previously, the :mod:`optparse` module was already deprecated, its removal was not scheduled, and no warnings was emitted: so there is no change in practice. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106535`.)
:mod:`typing`: Creating a :class:`typing.NamedTuple` class using keyword arguments to denote the fields (
NT = NamedTuple("NT", x=int, y=int)
) is deprecated, and will be disallowed in Python 3.15. Use the class-based syntax or the functional syntax instead. (Contributed by Alex Waygood in :gh:`105566`.)- When using the functional syntax to create a :class:`typing.NamedTuple`
class or a :class:`typing.TypedDict` class, failing to pass a value to the
'fields' parameter (
NT = NamedTuple("NT")
orTD = TypedDict("TD")
) is deprecated. PassingNone
to the 'fields' parameter (NT = NamedTuple("NT", None)
orTD = TypedDict("TD", None)
) is also deprecated. Both will be disallowed in Python 3.15. To create a NamedTuple class with 0 fields, useclass NT(NamedTuple): pass
orNT = NamedTuple("NT", [])
. To create a TypedDict class with 0 fields, useclass TD(TypedDict): pass
orTD = TypedDict("TD", {})
. (Contributed by Alex Waygood in :gh:`105566` and :gh:`105570`.) - :func:`typing.no_type_check_decorator` is deprecated, and scheduled for removal in Python 3.15. After eight years in the :mod:`typing` module, it has yet to be supported by any major type checkers. (Contributed by Alex Waygood in :gh:`106309`.)
- :data:`typing.AnyStr` is deprecated. In Python 3.16, it will be removed from
typing.__all__
, and a :exc:`DeprecationWarning` will be emitted when it is imported or accessed. It will be removed entirely in Python 3.18. Use the new :ref:`type parameter syntax <type-params>` instead. (Contributed by Michael The in :gh:`107116`.)
- When using the functional syntax to create a :class:`typing.NamedTuple`
class or a :class:`typing.TypedDict` class, failing to pass a value to the
'fields' parameter (
:mod:`wave`: Deprecate the
getmark()
,setmark()
andgetmarkers()
methods of the :class:`wave.Wave_read` and :class:`wave.Wave_write` classes. They will be removed in Python 3.15. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105096`.)Passing more than one positional argument to :func:`sqlite3.connect` and the :class:`sqlite3.Connection` constructor is deprecated. The remaining parameters will become keyword-only in Python 3.15.
Deprecate passing name, number of arguments, and the callable as keyword arguments, for the following :class:`sqlite3.Connection` APIs:
Deprecate passing the callback callable by keyword for the following :class:`sqlite3.Connection` APIs:
- :meth:`~sqlite3.Connection.set_authorizer`
- :meth:`~sqlite3.Connection.set_progress_handler`
- :meth:`~sqlite3.Connection.set_trace_callback`
The affected parameters will become positional-only in Python 3.15.
(Contributed by Erlend E. Aasland in :gh:`107948` and :gh:`108278`.)
:mod:`argparse`: The type, choices, and metavar parameters of :class:`!argparse.BooleanOptionalAction` are deprecated and will be removed in 3.14. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in :gh:`92248`.)
:mod:`ast`: The following features have been deprecated in documentation since Python 3.8, now cause a :exc:`DeprecationWarning` to be emitted at runtime when they are accessed or used, and will be removed in Python 3.14:
- :class:`!ast.Num`
- :class:`!ast.Str`
- :class:`!ast.Bytes`
- :class:`!ast.NameConstant`
- :class:`!ast.Ellipsis`
Use :class:`ast.Constant` instead. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`90953`.)
:mod:`collections.abc`: Deprecated :class:`~collections.abc.ByteString`. Prefer :class:`!Sequence` or :class:`~collections.abc.Buffer`. For use in typing, prefer a union, like
bytes | bytearray
, or :class:`collections.abc.Buffer`. (Contributed by Shantanu Jain in :gh:`91896`.):mod:`email`: Deprecated the isdst parameter in :func:`email.utils.localtime`. (Contributed by Alan Williams in :gh:`72346`.)
:mod:`importlib`:

- :class:`!importlib.abc.TraversableResources`
Use :mod:`importlib.resources.abc` classes instead:
(Contributed by Jason R. Coombs and Hugo van Kemenade in :gh:`93963`.)
:mod:`itertools` had undocumented, inefficient, historically buggy, and inconsistent support for copy, deepcopy, and pickle operations. This will be removed in 3.14 for a significant reduction in code volume and maintenance burden. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in :gh:`101588`.)
:mod:`multiprocessing`: The default start method will change to a safer one on Linux, BSDs, and other non-macOS POSIX platforms where
'fork'
is currently the default (:gh:`84559`). Adding a runtime warning about this was deemed too disruptive as the majority of code is not expected to care. Use the :func:`~multiprocessing.get_context` or :func:`~multiprocessing.set_start_method` APIs to explicitly specify when your code requires'fork'
. See :ref:`multiprocessing-start-methods`.:mod:`pathlib`: :meth:`~pathlib.PurePath.is_relative_to`, :meth:`~pathlib.PurePath.relative_to`: passing additional arguments is deprecated.
:func:`pkgutil.find_loader` and :func:`pkgutil.get_loader` now raise :exc:`DeprecationWarning`; use :func:`importlib.util.find_spec` instead. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in :gh:`97850`.)

- date and datetime adapter, date and timestamp converter: see the :mod:`sqlite3` documentation for suggested replacement recipes.
:class:`types.CodeType`: Accessing
co_lnotab
was deprecated in PEP 626 since 3.10 and was planned to be removed in 3.12, but it only got a proper :exc:`DeprecationWarning` in 3.12. May be removed in 3.14. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in :gh:`101866`.):mod:`typing`: :class:`~typing.ByteString`, deprecated since Python 3.9, now causes a :exc:`DeprecationWarning` to be emitted when it is used.
:class:`!urllib.parse.Quoter` is deprecated: it was not intended to be a public API. (Contributed by Gregory P. Smith in :gh:`88168`.)
:mod:`xml.etree.ElementTree`: Testing the truth value of an :class:`~xml.etree.ElementTree.Element` is deprecated and will raise an exception in Python 3.14.
- :class:`typing.NamedTuple`:
- The undocumented keyword argument syntax for creating NamedTuple classes
(
NT = NamedTuple("NT", x=int)
) is deprecated, and will be disallowed in 3.15. Use the class-based syntax or the functional syntax instead. - When using the functional syntax to create a NamedTuple class, failing to
pass a value to the 'fields' parameter (
NT = NamedTuple("NT")
) is deprecated. PassingNone
to the 'fields' parameter (NT = NamedTuple("NT", None)
) is also deprecated. Both will be disallowed in Python 3.15. To create a NamedTuple class with 0 fields, useclass NT(NamedTuple): pass
orNT = NamedTuple("NT", [])
.
- The undocumented keyword argument syntax for creating NamedTuple classes
(
- :class:`typing.TypedDict`: When using the functional syntax to create a
TypedDict class, failing to pass a value to the 'fields' parameter (
TD = TypedDict("TD")
) is deprecated. PassingNone
to the 'fields' parameter (TD = TypedDict("TD", None)
) is also deprecated. Both will be disallowed in Python 3.15. To create a TypedDict class with 0 fields, useclass TD(TypedDict): pass
orTD = TypedDict("TD", {})
. - :mod:`wave`: Deprecate the
getmark()
,setmark()
andgetmarkers()
methods of the :class:`wave.Wave_read` and :class:`wave.Wave_write` classes. They will be removed in Python 3.15. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105096`.) - Passing any arguments to :func:`threading.RLock` is now deprecated. C version allows any numbers of args and kwargs, but they are just ignored. Python version does not allow any arguments. All arguments will be removed from :func:`threading.RLock` in Python 3.15. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev in :gh:`102029`.)
- :class:`array.array`
'u'
type (:c:type:`wchar_t`): use the'w'
type instead (Py_UCS4
).
The following APIs were deprecated in earlier Python versions and will be removed, although there is currently no date scheduled for their removal.
:mod:`argparse`: Nesting argument groups and nesting mutually exclusive groups are deprecated.
-
~bool
, bitwise inversion on bool.bool(NotImplemented)
.- Generators:
throw(type, exc, tb)

signature is deprecated: usethrow(exc)
andathrow(exc)
instead, the single argument signature. - Currently Python accepts numeric literals immediately followed by keywords,
for example
0in x
,1or x
,0if 1else 2
. It allows confusing and ambiguous expressions like[0x1for x in y]
(which can be interpreted as[0x1 for x in y]
or[0x1f or x in y]
). A syntax warning is raised if the numeric literal is immediately followed by one of keywords :keyword:`and`, :keyword:`else`, :keyword:`for`, :keyword:`if`, :keyword:`in`, :keyword:`is` and :keyword:`or`. In a future release it will be changed to a syntax error. (:gh:`87999`) - Support for
__index__()
and__int__()
method returning non-int type: these methods will be required to return an instance of a strict subclass of :class:`int`. - Support for
__float__()
method returning a strict subclass of :class:`float`: these methods will be required to return an instance of :class:`float`. - Support for
__complex__()
method returning a strict subclass of :class:`complex`: these methods will be required to return an instance of :class:`complex`. - Delegation of
int()
to__trunc__()
method.

This section lists previously described changes and other bugfixes that may require changes to your code.
The old trashcan macros
Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN
andPy_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END
were removed. They should be replaced by the new macrosPy_TRASHCAN_BEGIN
andPy_TRASHCAN_END
.A tp_dealloc function that has the old macros, such as:
static void mytype_dealloc(mytype *p) { PyObject_GC_UnTrack(p); Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN(p); ... Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END }
should migrate to the new macros as follows:
static void mytype_dealloc(mytype *p) { PyObject_GC_UnTrack(p); Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN(p, mytype_dealloc) ... Py_TRASHCAN_END }
Note that
Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN
has a second argument which should be the deallocation function it is in.
- Autoconf 2.71 and aclocal 1.16.4 is now required to regenerate the :file:`configure` script. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in :gh:`89886`.)
- SQLite 3.15.2 or newer is required to build the :mod:`sqlite3` extension module. (Contributed by Erlend Aasland in :gh:`105875`.)
- Python built with :file:`configure` :option:`--with-trace-refs` (tracing references) is now ABI compatible with Python release build and :ref:`debug build <debug-build>`. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108634`.)
- Building CPython now requires a compiler with support for the C11 atomic library, GCC built-in atomic functions, or MSVC interlocked intrinsics.
- You no longer have to define the
PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN
macro before including :file:`Python.h` when using#
formats in :ref:`format codes <arg-parsing-string-and-buffers>`. APIs accepting the format codes always usePy_ssize_t
for#
formats. (Contributed by Inada Naoki in :gh:`104922`.) - Add :c:func:`PyImport_AddModuleRef`: similar to :c:func:`PyImport_AddModule`, but return a :term:`strong reference` instead of a :term:`borrowed reference`. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105922`.)
- Add :c:func:`PyWeakref_GetRef` function: similar to
:c:func:`PyWeakref_GetObject` but returns a :term:`strong reference`, or
NULL
if the referent is no longer live. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105927`.) - Add :c:func:`PyObject_GetOptionalAttr` and :c:func:`PyObject_GetOptionalAttrString`, variants of :c:func:`PyObject_GetAttr` and :c:func:`PyObject_GetAttrString` which don't raise :exc:`AttributeError` if the attribute is not found. These variants are more convenient and faster if the missing attribute should not be treated as a failure. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`106521`.)
- Add :c:func:`PyMapping_GetOptionalItem` and :c:func:`PyMapping_GetOptionalItemString`: variants of :c:func:`PyObject_GetItem` and :c:func:`PyMapping_GetItemString` which don't raise :exc:`KeyError` if the key is not found. These variants are more convenient and faster if the missing key should not be treated as a failure. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`106307`.)
- If Python is built in :ref:`debug mode <debug-build>` or :option:`with assertions <--with-assertions>`, :c:func:`PyTuple_SET_ITEM` and :c:func:`PyList_SET_ITEM` now check the index argument with an assertion. If the assertion fails, make sure that the size is set before. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106168`.)
- Add :c:func:`PyModule_Add` function: similar to :c:func:`PyModule_AddObjectRef` and :c:func:`PyModule_AddObject` but always steals a reference to the value. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`86493`.)
- Added :c:func:`PyDict_GetItemRef` and :c:func:`PyDict_GetItemStringRef`
functions: similar to :c:func:`PyDict_GetItemWithError` but returning a
:term:`strong reference` instead of a :term:`borrowed reference`. Moreover,
these functions return -1 on error and so checking
PyErr_Occurred()
is not needed. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106004`.) - Added :c:func:`PyDict_ContainsString` function: same as :c:func:`PyDict_Contains`, but key is specified as a :c:expr:`const char*` UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a :c:expr:`PyObject*`. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108314`.)
- Add :c:func:`Py_IsFinalizing` function: check if the main Python interpreter is :term:`shutting down <interpreter shutdown>`. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108014`.)
- Add :c:func:`PyLong_AsInt` function: similar to :c:func:`PyLong_AsLong`, but store the result in a C :c:expr:`int` instead of a C :c:expr:`long`. Previously, it was known as the private function :c:func:`!_PyLong_AsInt` (with an underscore prefix). (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108014`.)
- Python built with :file:`configure` :option:`--with-trace-refs` (tracing references) now supports the :ref:`Limited API <limited-c-api>`. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108634`.)
- Add :c:func:`PyObject_VisitManagedDict` and :c:func:`PyObject_ClearManagedDict` functions which must be called by the traverse and clear functions of a type using :c:macro:`Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_DICT` flag. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`107073`.)
Python.h
no longer includes the<ieeefp.h>
standard header. It was included for thefinite()
function which is now provided by the<math.h>
header. It should now be included explicitly if needed. Remove also theHAVE_IEEEFP_H
macro. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108765`.)Python.h
no longer includes the<unistd.h>
standard header file. If needed, it should now be included explicitly. For example, it provides the functions:close()
,getpagesize()
,getpid()
andsysconf()
. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108765`.)Python.h
no longer includes these standard header files:<time.h>
,<sys/select.h>
and<sys/time.h>
. If needed, they should now be included explicitly. For example,<time.h>
provides theclock()
andgmtime()
functions,<sys/select.h>
provides theselect()
function, and<sys/time.h>
provides thefutimes()
,gettimeofday()
andsetitimer()
functions. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108765`.)Python.h
no longer includes the<ctype.h>
standard header file. If needed, it should now be included explicitly. For example, it providesisalpha()
andtolower()
functions which are locale dependent. Python provides locale independent functions, like :c:func:`!Py_ISALPHA` and :c:func:`!Py_TOLOWER`. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`108765`.)
Passing optional arguments maxsplit, count and flags in module-level functions :func:`re.split`, :func:`re.sub` and :func:`re.subn` as positional arguments is now deprecated. In future Python versions these parameters will be :ref:`keyword-only <keyword-only_parameter>`. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`56166`.)
Deprecate the old
Py_UNICODE
andPY_UNICODE_TYPE
types: use directly the :c:type:`wchar_t` type instead. Since Python 3.3,Py_UNICODE
andPY_UNICODE_TYPE
are just aliases to :c:type:`wchar_t`. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105156`.)Deprecate old Python initialization functions:
- :c:func:`PySys_ResetWarnOptions`: clear :data:`sys.warnoptions` and :data:`!warnings.filters` instead.
- :c:func:`Py_GetExecPrefix`: get :data:`sys.exec_prefix` instead.
- :c:func:`Py_GetPath`: get :data:`sys.path` instead.
- :c:func:`Py_GetPrefix`: get :data:`sys.prefix` instead.
- :c:func:`Py_GetProgramFullPath`: get :data:`sys.executable` instead.
- :c:func:`Py_GetProgramName`: get :data:`sys.executable` instead.
- :c:func:`Py_GetPythonHome`: get :c:member:`PyConfig.home` or :envvar:`PYTHONHOME` environment variable instead.
Functions scheduled for removal in Python 3.15. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105145`.)
Deprecate the :c:func:`PyImport_ImportModuleNoBlock` function which is just an alias to :c:func:`PyImport_ImportModule` since Python 3.3. Scheduled for removal in Python 3.15. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105396`.)
Deprecate the :c:func:`PyWeakref_GetObject` and :c:func:`PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT` functions, which return a :term:`borrowed reference`: use the new :c:func:`PyWeakref_GetRef` function instead, it returns a :term:`strong reference`. The pythoncapi-compat project can be used to get :c:func:`PyWeakref_GetRef` on Python 3.12 and older. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105927`.)
Remove many APIs (functions, macros, variables) with names prefixed by
_Py
or_PY
(considered as private API). If your project is affected by one of these removals and you consider that the removed API should remain available, please open a new issue to request a public C API and addcc @vstinner
to the issue to notify Victor Stinner. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106320`.)Remove functions deprecated in Python 3.9.
PyEval_CallObject()
,PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords()
: use :c:func:`PyObject_CallNoArgs` or :c:func:`PyObject_Call` instead. Warning: :c:func:`PyObject_Call` positional arguments must be a :class:`tuple` and must not be NULL, keyword arguments must be a :class:`dict` or NULL, whereas removed functions checked arguments type and accepted NULL positional and keyword arguments. To replacePyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords(func, NULL, kwargs)
with :c:func:`PyObject_Call`, pass an empty tuple as positional arguments using :c:func:`PyTuple_New(0) <PyTuple_New>`.PyEval_CallFunction()
: use :c:func:`PyObject_CallFunction` instead.PyEval_CallMethod()
: use :c:func:`PyObject_CallMethod` instead.PyCFunction_Call()
: use :c:func:`PyObject_Call` instead.
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105107`.)
Remove old buffer protocols deprecated in Python 3.0. Use :ref:`bufferobjects` instead.
:c:func:`!PyObject_CheckReadBuffer`: Use :c:func:`PyObject_CheckBuffer` to test if the object supports the buffer protocol. Note that :c:func:`PyObject_CheckBuffer` doesn't guarantee that :c:func:`PyObject_GetBuffer` will succeed. To test if the object is actually readable, see the next example of :c:func:`PyObject_GetBuffer`.
:c:func:`!PyObject_AsCharBuffer`, :c:func:`!PyObject_AsReadBuffer`: :c:func:`PyObject_GetBuffer` and :c:func:`PyBuffer_Release` instead:
Py_buffer view; if (PyObject_GetBuffer(obj, &view, PyBUF_SIMPLE) < 0) { return NULL; } // Use `view.buf` and `view.len` to read from the buffer. // You may need to cast buf as `(const char*)view.buf`. PyBuffer_Release(&view);
:c:func:`!PyObject_AsWriteBuffer`: Use :c:func:`PyObject_GetBuffer` and :c:func:`PyBuffer_Release` instead:
Py_buffer view; if (PyObject_GetBuffer(obj, &view, PyBUF_WRITABLE) < 0) { return NULL; } // Use `view.buf` and `view.len` to write to the buffer. PyBuffer_Release(&view);
(Contributed by Inada Naoki in :gh:`85275`.)
Remove the following old functions to configure the Python initialization, deprecated in Python 3.11:
PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
: use :c:member:`PyConfig.warnoptions` instead.PySys_AddWarnOption()
: use :c:member:`PyConfig.warnoptions` instead.PySys_AddXOption()
: use :c:member:`PyConfig.xoptions` instead.PySys_HasWarnOptions()
: use :c:member:`PyConfig.xoptions` instead.PySys_SetArgvEx()
: set :c:member:`PyConfig.argv` instead.PySys_SetArgv()
: set :c:member:`PyConfig.argv` instead.PySys_SetPath()
: set :c:member:`PyConfig.module_search_paths` instead.Py_SetPath()
: set :c:member:`PyConfig.module_search_paths` instead.Py_SetProgramName()
: set :c:member:`PyConfig.program_name` instead.Py_SetPythonHome()
: set :c:member:`PyConfig.home` instead.Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
: set :c:member:`PyConfig.stdio_encoding` instead, and set also maybe :c:member:`PyConfig.legacy_windows_stdio` (on Windows)._Py_SetProgramFullPath()
: set :c:member:`PyConfig.executable` instead.
Use the new :c:type:`PyConfig` API of the :ref:`Python Initialization Configuration <init-config>` instead (PEP 587), added to Python 3.8. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105145`.)
Remove
PyEval_InitThreads()
andPyEval_ThreadsInitialized()
functions, deprecated in Python 3.9. Since Python 3.7,Py_Initialize()
always creates the GIL: callingPyEval_InitThreads()
did nothing andPyEval_ThreadsInitialized()
always returned non-zero. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105182`.)Remove
PyEval_AcquireLock()
andPyEval_ReleaseLock()
functions, deprecated in Python 3.2. They didn't update the current thread state. They can be replaced with:- :c:func:`PyEval_SaveThread` and :c:func:`PyEval_RestoreThread`;
- low-level :c:func:`PyEval_AcquireThread` and :c:func:`PyEval_RestoreThread`;
- or :c:func:`PyGILState_Ensure` and :c:func:`PyGILState_Release`.
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`105182`.)
Remove the old aliases to functions calling functions which were kept for backward compatibility with Python 3.8 provisional API:
_PyObject_CallMethodNoArgs()
: usePyObject_CallMethodNoArgs()
_PyObject_CallMethodOneArg()
: usePyObject_CallMethodOneArg()
_PyObject_CallOneArg()
: usePyObject_CallOneArg()
_PyObject_FastCallDict()
: usePyObject_VectorcallDict()
_PyObject_Vectorcall()
: usePyObject_Vectorcall()
_PyObject_VectorcallMethod()
: usePyObject_VectorcallMethod()
_PyVectorcall_Function()
: usePyVectorcall_Function()
Just remove the underscore prefix to update your code. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106084`.)
Remove private
_PyObject_FastCall()
function: usePyObject_Vectorcall()
which is available since Python 3.8 (PEP 590). (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106023`.)Remove
cpython/pytime.h
header file: it only contained private functions. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106316`.)Remove
_PyInterpreterState_Get()
alias to :c:func:`PyInterpreterState_Get()` which was kept for backward compatibility with Python 3.8. The pythoncapi-compat project can be used to get :c:func:`PyInterpreterState_Get()` on Python 3.8 and older. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`106320`.)The :c:func:`PyModule_AddObject` function is now :term:`soft deprecated`: :c:func:`PyModule_Add` or :c:func:`PyModule_AddObjectRef` functions should be used instead. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`86493`.)
