environment variable to set the filesystem encoding at Python startup.
sys.setfilesystemencoding() creates inconsistencies because it is unable to
reencode all filenames in all objects.
namespace if it occurs as a free variable in a nested block. This limitation
of the compiler has been lifted, and a new opcode introduced (DELETE_DEREF).
This sample was valid in 2.6, but fails to compile in 3.x without this change::
>>> def f():
... def print_error():
... print(e)
... try:
... something
... except Exception as e:
... print_error()
... # implicit "del e" here
This sample has always been invalid in Python, and now works::
>>> def outer(x):
... def inner():
... return x
... inner()
... del x
There is no need to bump the PYC magic number: the new opcode is used
for code that did not compile before.
Database (Py_UNICODE_TOLOWER, Py_UNICODE_ISDECIMAL, and others) now accept
and return characters from the full Unicode range (Py_UCS4).
The differences from Python code are few:
- unicodedata.numeric(), unicodedata.decimal() and unicodedata.digit()
now return the correct value for large code points
- repr() may consider more characters as printable.
... to get the filename as a unicode object, instead of a byte string. Function
needed to support unencodable filenames. Deprecate PyModule_GetFilename() in
favor on the new function.
