- io.TextIOWrapper (and hence the open() builtin) now use the
internal codec marking system added for issue #19619
- also tweaked the C code to only look up the encoding once,
rather than multiple times
- the existing output type checks remain in place to deal with
unmarked third party codecs.
annotate text signatures in docstrings, resulting in fewer false
positives. "self" parameters are also explicitly marked, allowing
inspect.Signature() to authoritatively detect (and skip) said parameters.
Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now generates separate checksums for the
input and output sections of the block, allowing external tools to verify
that the input has not changed (and thus the output is not out-of-date).
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.
This code was an artifact of issuing a DeprecationWarning for the lack
of loader.exec_module(). However, we have deferred such warnings to
later Python versions.
Early in the PEP 451 implementation some of the importlib loaders had
their own _get_spec() methods to simplify accommodating them. However,
later implementations removed the need. They simply failed to remove
this code at the same time. :)
