...problems in Python 2, or in software written in Python 2, then most volunteers will not help fix them. If you need help with Python 2 software, then many volunteers will not help you, and over time fewer and fewer volunteers will be able to help you. You will lose chances to use good tools because they will only run on Python 3, and you will slow down people who depend on you and work with you. Some of these problems started on January 1. Other problems will grow over time. I wrote code in Pytho...
...problems. However, since the compatibility problems are expected to rare, changing str() seems preferable to adding a new built-in. The basestring type could be changed to have the proposed behaviour, rather than changing str(). However, that would be confusing behaviour for an abstract base type.

...problem, disable Norton Antivirus when using Python. (Confirmed on Windows 98 Second Edition with Norton Antivirus version 6.10.20. The same Norton Antivirus version doesn't have this problem on Windows 2000. Norton Antivirus version 5 on Windows 98SE doesn't have this problem either.) The last beta release is still available for comparison: license, 1.6b1 source, 1.6b1 Windows installer. Bugs and Patches To report a bug, always use the SourceForge Bug Tracker. If you have a...
...problems reported due to os.urandom() blocking in user code, there were problems due to CPython implicitly invoking the blocking behaviour during interpreter startup and when importing the random module. Rather than trying to decouple SipHash initialization from the os.urandom() implementation, Python 3.5.2 switched to calling getrandom() in non-blocking mode, and falling back to reading from /dev/urandom if the syscall indicates it will block. As a result of the above, os.urandom() in all Pytho...
...problem, it does make the barrier to resolution much lower once the problem is pointed out. Python 2.7 represents the only long term maintenance release the core development team has provided, and it is natural that there will be things that worked over a historically shorter maintenance lifespan that don't work over this longer support period. In the specific case of the problem described in this PEP, the simplest available solution is to acknowledge that long term maintenance of network securi...
...problem. Inventive users will be able to improve the software that supports them in their tasks, and share their improvements with their colleagues or--via the Internet--with others far away who are faced with the same tasks and problems. The ability to modify or customize software is important in crisis situations, when experts cannot be appealed to for help. It is also important for day-to-day activities: The number of unfilled programming jobs is currently estimated by some at 200,000 t...
...Problem: Runtime Compilation Resolved Problem: Native Interactive Shells Resolved Problem: Simulated Interactive Shells Questions and Answers What about a "from __past__" version, to get back old behavior? What about incompatibilities due to changes in the Python virtual machine? What about incompatibilities due to changes in Python's C API? I want to wrap future_statements in try/except blocks, so I can use different code depending on which version of Python I'm running. Why can't I? Going b...
...problem with some dll files shipped with the installer. This was reported to cause problems on some Windows 98 and Windows NT machines. The replacement installer (with a -1 extension) should address this problem. We apologise to anyone who was affected by this. RPMs suitable for Redhat and source RPMs for other RPM-using operating systems are available from the RPMs page. All others should download either Python-2.3.2.tgz or Python-2.3.2.tar.bz2, the source archive. The tar.bz2...

...problems caused by indented preprocessor commands and C++ style comments should be gone now. Lots of improvements to python-mode.el again. Changes in pickle.py and cPickle.c: when unpickling an instance of a class that doesn't define the __getinitargs__() method, the __init__() constructor is no longer called. This makes a much larger group of classes picklable by default, but may occasionally change semantics. To force calling __init__() on unpickling, define a __getinitargs__() method. Othe...

This is the third release candidate of Python 3.12.0 This release, 3.12.0rc3, is the absolutely last release preview for Python 3.12. There will be no ABI changes from this point forward in the 3.12 series. The intent is for the final release of 3.12.0, scheduled for Monday, 2023-10-02, to …
...problem, but it is a chronic one, and the often long delays between the introduction of security flaws and their exploitation means that it is difficult for developers to naturally learn from experience. In order to provide an eventually pervasive solution to the problem, this PEP proposes that Python switch to using the system random number generator by default in Python 3.6, and require developers to opt-in to using the deterministic random number generator process wide either by using a new r...
...problem for a software vendor is that design principles are different at each yard due to factors such as ship type, production facilities, prior experience, and national regulations and standards. Tribon's solution to this problem was to make it easy for shipyards to develop their own functionality based on Tribon core technology, including the Tribon PIM. To achieve this, Tribon Solutions had to create an API that was platform independent, easy to use, had all the strengths of a modern program...
...problems with the language design that weren't solvable in a backwards compatible way. The current plan, however, is that the necessary changes will be introduced gradually into the current Python 2.x line of development, with a clear transition path that includes a period of backwards compatibility support. Take for example integer division. In line with C, Python currently defines x/y with two integer arguments to have an integer result. In other words, 1/2 yields 0! While most di...
...problematic that PEP 528 and PEP 529 were implemented to bypass the operating system supplied interfaces for binary data handling and force the use of UTF-8 instead. On Mac OS X, iOS, and Android, many components, including CPython, already assume the use of UTF-8 as the system encoding, regardless of the locale setting. However, this isn't the case for all components, and the discrepancy can cause problems in some situations (for example, when using the GNU readline module [16]). On non-Apple a...
...problem. Inventive office workers will be able to improve the software that supports them in their tasks, and share their improvements with their colleagues or-via the Internet-with others far away who are faced with the same tasks and problems. Now is the time to start working on this vision. The developments in hardware for computation, storage and connectivity are such that for the first time, the masses will have access to computers that are powerful enough to be useful to them, ...
...problems or faulty event handling. These days, very few bugs come from the API itself, and even those are generally the result of poor revision management or DBA coordination during application deployment. Python can't solve _all_ problems during development, but it certainly has reduced the number of critical system defects for us. Documentation Lack of documentation has been a major problem with our previous development efforts. We tried several tools and policies to document our PHP efforts...
