PEP 737: Unify type name formatting
Add new convenient APIs to format type names the same way in Python and in C. No longer format type names differently depending on how types are implemented. Also, put an end to truncating type names in C. The new C API is compatible with the limited C API. ⌘ Read more

PEP 734: Multiple Interpreters in the Stdlib
This PEP proposes to add a new module, interpreters, to support inspecting, creating, and running code in multiple interpreters in the current process. This includes Interpreter objects that represent the underlying interpreters. The module will also provide a basic Queue class for communication between interpreters. Finally, we will add a new concurrent.futures.InterpreterPoolExecutor based on the interpreters module. ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net It was super useful if you needed to do the sorts of things it did. I’m pretty sad.

At its core was Sage, a computational mathematics system, and their own version of Jupyter notebooks. So, you could do all kinds of different math stuff in a notebook environment and share that with people. But on top of that, there was a chat system, a collaborative editing system, a course management system (so if you were teaching a class using it you could keep track of students, assignments, grades, that sort of thing), and a bunch of other stuff I never used. It all ran in a linux container with python/conda as a base, so you could also drop to a terminal, install stuff in the container, and run X11 applications in the same environment. I never taught a class with it but I used to use it semi-regularly to experiment with ideas.

PEP 713: Callable Modules
Modules are currently not directly callable. Classes can define a __call__ method that makes instance objects callable, but defining a similarly named function in the global module scope has no effect, and that function can only be called by importing or referencing it directly as module.__call__. PEP 562 added support for :meth:`~object.__getattr__` and :meth:`~object.__dir__` for modules, but defining __getattr__ to return a value for __call__ still does not make a module callab … ⌘ Read more

PEP 710: Recording the provenance of installed packages
This PEP describes a way to record the provenance of installed Python distributions. The record is created by an installer and is available to users in the form of a JSON file provenance_url.json in the .dist-info directory. The mentioned JSON file captures additional metadata to allow recording a URL to a :term:`distribution package` together with the installed distribution hash. This proposal is built on top of PEP 610 following :ref:`its corresponding canonical PyPA spec … ⌘ Read more`

PEP 709: Inlined comprehensions
Comprehensions are currently compiled as nested functions, which provides isolation of the comprehension’s iteration variable, but is inefficient at runtime. This PEP proposes to inline list, dictionary, and set comprehensions into the function where they are defined, and provide the expected isolation by pushing/popping clashing locals on the stack. This change makes comprehensions much faster: up to 2x faster for a microbenchmark of a comprehension alone, translating to an 11% speedup for one sample … ⌘ Read more

PEP 708: Extending the Repository API to Mitigate Dependency Confusion Attacks
Dependency confusion attacks, in which a malicious package is installed instead of the one the user expected, are an increasingly common supply chain threat. Most such attacks against Python dependencies, including the recent PyTorch incident, occur with multiple package repositories, where a dependency expected to come from one repository (e.g. a custom index) is installed from another (e.g. PyPI). ⌘ Read more

PEP 706: Filter for tarfile.extractall
The extraction methods in :external+py3.11:mod:`tarfile` gain a filter argument, which allows rejecting files or modifying metadata as the archive is extracted. Three built-in named filters are provided, aimed at limiting features that might be surprising or dangerous. These can be used as-is, or serve as a base for custom filters. ⌘ Read more

PEP 703: Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython
CPython’s global interpreter lock (“GIL”) prevents multiple threads from executing Python code at the same time. The GIL is an obstacle to using multi-core CPUs from Python efficiently. This PEP proposes adding a build configuration (–without-gil) to CPython to let it run Python code without the global interpreter lock and with the necessary changes needed to make the interpreter thread-safe. ⌘ Read more

For all HTTP requests (e.g. file downloads, update checks, websocket connection, …) both Gajim and python-nbxmpp rely on libsoup. With Gajim 1.6.0, we ported to libsoup3. You shou … ⌘ Read more

This document proposes to lift some of the restrictions originally formulated in PEP 498 and to provide a formalized grammar for f-strings that can be integrated into the parser directly.
