It has been documented as deprecated and to be removed in 3.8;
From a comment on another thread – which I can't find ; leave get_coro_wrapper() for now, but always return `None`.
https://bugs.python.org/issue36933
* sys.unraisablehook: add 'err_msg' field to UnraisableHookArgs.
* Use _PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg() in _ctypes _DictRemover_call()
and gc delete_garbage().
Add new sys.unraisablehook() function which can be overridden to
control how "unraisable exceptions" are handled. It is called when an
exception has occurred but there is no way for Python to handle it.
For example, when a destructor raises an exception or during garbage
collection (gc.collect()).
Changes:
* Add an internal UnraisableHookArgs type used to pass arguments to
sys.unraisablehook.
* Add _PyErr_WriteUnraisableDefaultHook().
* The default hook now ignores exception on writing the traceback.
* test_sys now uses unittest.main() to automatically discover tests:
remove test_main().
* Add _PyErr_Init().
* Fix PyErr_WriteUnraisable(): hold a strong reference to sys.stderr
while using it
_PyCoreConfig: Change filesystem_encoding, filesystem_errors,
stdio_encoding and stdio_errors fields type from char* to wchar_t*.
Changes:
* PyInterpreterState: replace fscodec_initialized (int) with fs_codec
structure.
* Add get_error_handler_wide() and unicode_encode_utf8() helper
functions.
* Add error_handler parameter to unicode_encode_locale()
and unicode_decode_locale().
* Remove _PyCoreConfig_SetString().
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_SetWideString() to _PyCoreConfig_SetString().
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_SetWideStringFromString()
to _PyCoreConfig_DecodeLocale().
Py_InitializeEx() now uses a runtime variable passed to subfunctions,
rather than working directly on the global variable _PyRuntime.
Add 'runtime' parameter to _PyCoreConfig_Write(), _PySys_Create(),
_PySys_InitMain(), _PyGILState_Init(),
emit_stderr_warning_for_legacy_locale() and other subfunctions.
At Python initialization, the current directory is no longer
prepended to sys.path if it has been removed.
Rename _PyPathConfig_ComputeArgv0() to
_PyPathConfig_ComputeSysPath0() to avoid confusion between argv[0]
and sys.path[0].
Replace messy _Py_wstrlist_xxx() functions with a new clean
_PyWstrList structure and new _PyWstrList_xxx() functions.
Changes:
* Add _PyCoreConfig.use_module_search_paths to decide if
_PyCoreConfig.module_search_paths should be computed or not, to
support empty search path list.
* _PyWstrList_Clear() sets length to 0 and items to NULL, whereas
_Py_wstrlist_clear() only freed memory.
* _PyWstrList_Append() returns an int, whereas _Py_wstrlist_append()
returned _PyInitError.
* _PyWstrList uses Py_ssize_t for the length, instead of int.
* Replace (int, wchar_t**) with _PyWstrList in:
* _PyPreConfig
* _PyCoreConfig
* _PyPreCmdline
* _PyCmdline
* Replace "int orig_argv; wchar_t **orig_argv;"
with "_PyWstrList orig_argv".
* _PyCmdline and _PyPreCmdline now also copy wchar_argv.
* Rename _PyArgv_Decode() to _PyArgv_AsWstrList().
* PySys_SetArgvEx() now pass the fixed (argc, argv) to
_PyPathConfig_ComputeArgv0() (don't pass negative argc or NULL
argv).
* _PyOS_GetOpt() uses Py_ssize_t
* Move 'allocator' and 'dev_mode' fields from _PyCoreConfig
to _PyPreConfig.
* Fix InitConfigTests of test_embed: dev_mode sets allocator to
"debug", add a new tests for env vars with dev mode enabled.
* Move following fields from _PyCoreConfig to _PyPreConfig:
* coerce_c_locale
* coerce_c_locale_warn
* legacy_windows_stdio
* utf8_mode
* _PyPreConfig_ReadFromArgv() is now responsible to choose the
filesystem encoding
* _PyPreConfig_Write() now sets the LC_CTYPE locale
* Add _PyPreConfig structure
* Move 'ignored' and 'use_environment' fields from _PyCoreConfig
to _PyPreConfig
* Add a new "_PyPreConfig preconfig;" field to _PyCoreConfig
Unicode version of Windows APIs are used in places, but not for GetVersionEx in Python/sysmodule.c
The wcstok_s is called on Windows in Modules/main.c and PC/launcher.c, but not in Python/pathconfig.c
LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress, FreeLibrary and GetModuleHandle acquire the system loader lock. Calling these while holding the GIL will cause a deadlock on the rare occasion that another thread is detaching and needs to destroy its thread state at the same time.
* The PyByteArray_Init() and PyByteArray_Fini() functions have been
removed. They did nothing since Python 2.7.4 and Python 3.2.0, were
excluded from the limited API (stable ABI), and were not
documented.
* Move "_PyXXX_Init()" and "_PyXXX_Fini()" declarations from
Include/cpython/pylifecycle.h to
Include/internal/pycore_pylifecycle.h. Replace
"PyAPI_FUNC(TYPE)" with "extern TYPE".
* _PyExc_Init() now returns an error on failure rather than calling
Py_FatalError(). Move macros inside _PyExc_Init() and undefine them
when done. Rewrite macros to make them look more like statement:
add ";" when using them, add "do { ... } while (0)".
* _PyUnicode_Init() now returns a _PyInitError error rather than call
Py_FatalError().
* Move stdin check from _PySys_BeginInit() to init_sys_streams().
* _Py_ReadyTypes() now returns a _PyInitError error rather than
calling Py_FatalError().
