2.3.2 (November 16, 2021)
-------------------------
Fix the generation of man pages, so that installation-dependent paths are
correctly inserted.
Improve error reporting when enchant-lsmod cannot open a dictionary for a
given language, in particular with the Aspell backend.
Fix compilation on MingW.
Some minor code cleanup.
open-vm-tools 11.3.5
For issues resolved in this release, see Resolved Issues section.
Added a configurable logging capability to the network script.
The network script has been updated to:
use vmware-toolbox-cmd to query any network logging configuration from the tools.conf file.
use vmtoolsd --cmd "log ..." to log a message to the vmx logfile when the logging handler is configured to "vmx" or when the logfile is full or is not writeable.
The hgfsmounter (mount.vmhgfs) command has been removed from open-vm-tools.
The hgfsmounter (mount.vmhgfs) command is no longer used in Linux open-vm-tools. It has been replaced by hgfs-fuse. Therefore, removing all references to the hgfsmounter in Linux builds.
Open-vm-tools 11.3.0
A small command line tool, vmwgfxctrl, has been added to open-vm-tools for Linux that can be used to control various aspects of the vmwgfx Linux kernel module. Currently it can both display and set the current topology of the vmwgfx kernel driver. It is useful when trying to configure custom resolutions on recent Linux distributions, including multi-monitor setups.
A command line tool, vmware-alias-import, has been added to open-vm-tools that can be used to import vgauth config data and apply it to the running vgauth service.

This CycloneDX module for Python can generate valid CycloneDX
bill-of-material document containing an aggregate of all project
dependencies.
This module is not designed for standalone use.
This project provides a runnable Python-based application for
generating CycloneDX bill-of-material documents from either:
* Your current Python Environment
* Your project's manifest (e.g. Pipfile.lock, poetry.lock or
requirements.txt)
* Conda as a Package Manager
The BOM will contain an aggregate of all your current project's
dependencies, or those defined by the manifest you supply.
CycloneDX is a lightweight BOM specification that is easily created,
human-readable, and simple to parse.
This is a PEP 561 type stub package for the toml package. It can
be used by type-checking tools like mypy, PyCharm, pytype etc. to
check code that uses toml.
This is a PEP 561 type stub package for the setuptools package. It
can be used by type-checking tools like mypy, PyCharm, pytype etc.
to check code that uses setuptools.
This release contains bug fixes plus a number of additional features. A

Python 3.10.1 final
Release date: 2021-12-06
Core and Builtins
bpo-42268: Fail the configure step if the selected compiler doesn’t support memory sanitizer. Patch by Pablo Galindo
bpo-45727: Refine the custom syntax error that suggests that a comma may be missing to trigger only when the expressions are detected between parentheses or brackets. Patch by Pablo Galindo
bpo-45614: Fix traceback display for exceptions with invalid module name.
bpo-45848: Allow the parser to obtain error lines directly from encoded files. Patch by Pablo Galindo
bpo-45826: Fixed a crash when calling .with_traceback(None) on NameError. This occurs internally in unittest.TestCase.assertRaises().
bpo-45822: Fixed a bug in the parser that was causing it to not respect PEP 263 coding cookies when no flags are provided. Patch by Pablo Galindo
bpo-45820: Fix a segfault when the parser fails without reading any input. Patch by Pablo Galindo
bpo-42540: Fix crash when os.fork() is called with an active non-default memory allocator.
bpo-45738: Fix computation of error location for invalid continuation characters in the parser. Patch by Pablo Galindo.
bpo-45773: Fix a compiler hang when attempting to optimize certain jump patterns.
bpo-45716: Improve the SyntaxError message when using True, None or False as keywords in a function call. Patch by Pablo Galindo.
bpo-45688: sys.stdlib_module_names now contains the macOS-specific module _scproxy.
bpo-30570: Fixed a crash in issubclass() from infinite recursion when searching pathological __bases__ tuples.
bpo-45521: Fix a bug in the obmalloc radix tree code. On 64-bit machines, the bug causes the tree to hold 46-bits of virtual addresses, rather than the intended 48-bits.
bpo-45494: Fix parser crash when reporting errors involving invalid continuation characters. Patch by Pablo Galindo.
bpo-45408: Fix a crash in the parser when reporting tokenizer errors that occur at the same time unclosed parentheses are detected. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

bpo-45167: Fix deepcopying of types.GenericAlias objects.
bpo-44219: Release the GIL while performing isatty system calls on arbitrary file descriptors. In particular, this affects os.isatty(), os.device_encoding() and io.TextIOWrapper. By extension, io.open() in text mode is also affected. This change solves a deadlock in os.isatty(). Patch by Vincent Michel in bpo-44219.
bpo-44959: Added fallback to extension modules with ‘.sl’ suffix on HP-UX
bpo-44050: Extensions that indicate they use global state (by setting m_size to -1) can again be used in multiple interpreters. This reverts to behavior of Python 3.8.
bpo-45121: Fix issue where Protocol.__init__ raises RecursionError when it’s called directly or via super(). Patch provided by Yurii Karabas.
bpo-45083: When the interpreter renders an exception, its name now has a complete qualname. Previously only the class name was concatenated to the module name, which sometimes resulted in an incorrect full name being displayed.
(This issue impacted only the C code exception rendering, the traceback module was using qualname already).
bpo-45056: Compiler now removes trailing unused constants from co_consts.
Library
bpo-27946: Fix possible crash when getting an attribute of class:xml.etree.ElementTree.Element simultaneously with replacing the attrib dict.

bpo-44649: Handle dataclass(slots=True) with a field that has default a default value, but for which init=False.
bpo-45803: Added missing kw_only parameter to dataclasses.make_dataclass().
bpo-45831: faulthandler can now write ASCII-only strings (like filenames and function names) with a single write() syscall when dumping a traceback. It reduces the risk of getting an unreadable dump when two threads or two processes dump a traceback to the same file (like stderr) at the same time. Patch by Victor Stinner.
bpo-41735: Fix thread lock in zlib.Decompress.flush() method before PyObject_GetBuffer.
bpo-45235: Reverted an argparse bugfix that caused regression in the handling of default arguments for subparsers. This prevented leaf level arguments from taking precedence over root level arguments.
bpo-45765: In importlib.metadata, fix distribution discovery for an empty path.
bpo-45757: Fix bug where dis produced an incorrect oparg when EXTENDED_ARG is followed by an opcode that does not use its argument.
bpo-45644: In-place JSON file formatting using python3 -m json.tool infile infile now works correctly, previously it left the file empty. Patch by Chris Wesseling.
bpo-45679: Fix caching of multi-value typing.Literal. Literal[True, 2] is no longer equal to Literal[1, 2].
bpo-45664: Fix types.resolve_bases() and types.new_class() for types.GenericAlias instance as a base.
bpo-45663: Fix dataclasses.is_dataclass() for dataclasses which are subclasses of types.GenericAlias.
bpo-45662: Fix the repr of dataclasses.InitVar with a type alias to the built-in class, e.g. InitVar[list[int]].
bpo-45438: Fix typing.Signature string representation for generic builtin types.
bpo-45574: Fix warning about print_escape being unused.
bpo-45581: sqlite3.connect() now correctly raises MemoryError if the underlying SQLite API signals memory error. Patch by Erlend E. Aasland.
bpo-45557: pprint.pprint() now handles underscore_numbers correctly. Previously it was always setting it to False.
bpo-45515: Add references to zoneinfo in the datetime documentation, mostly replacing outdated references to dateutil.tz. Change by Paul Ganssle.
bpo-45475: Reverted optimization of iterating gzip.GzipFile, bz2.BZ2File, and lzma.LZMAFile (see bpo-43787) because it caused regression when user iterate them without having reference of them. Patch by Inada Naoki.
bpo-45428: Fix a regression in py_compile when reading filenames from standard input.
bpo-45467: Fix incremental decoder and stream reader in the “raw-unicode-escape” codec. Previously they failed if the escape sequence was split.
bpo-45461: Fix incremental decoder and stream reader in the “unicode-escape” codec. Previously they failed if the escape sequence was split.
bpo-45239: Fixed email.utils.parsedate_tz() crashing with UnboundLocalError on certain invalid input instead of returning None. Patch by Ben Hoyt.
bpo-45249: Fix the behaviour of traceback.print_exc() when displaying the caret when the end_offset in the exception is set to 0. Patch by Pablo Galindo
bpo-45416: Fix use of asyncio.Condition with explicit asyncio.Lock objects, which was a regression due to removal of explicit loop arguments. Patch by Joongi Kim.
bpo-45419: Correct interfaces on DegenerateFiles.Path.
bpo-44904: Fix bug in the doctest module that caused it to fail if a docstring included an example with a classmethod property. Patch by Alex Waygood.
bpo-45406: Make inspect.getmodule() catch FileNotFoundError raised by :’func:inspect.getabsfile, and return None to indicate that the module could not be determined.
bpo-45262: Prevent use-after-free in asyncio. Make sure the cached running loop holder gets cleared on dealloc to prevent use-after-free in get_running_loop
bpo-45386: Make xmlrpc.client more robust to C runtimes where the underlying C strftime function results in a ValueError when testing for year formatting options.
bpo-45371: Fix clang rpath issue in distutils. The UnixCCompiler now uses correct clang option to add a runtime library directory (rpath) to a shared library.
bpo-20028: Improve error message of csv.Dialect when initializing. Patch by Vajrasky Kok and Dong-hee Na.
bpo-45343: Update bundled pip to 21.2.4 and setuptools to 58.1.0
bpo-45329: Fix freed memory access in pyexpat.xmlparser when building it with an installed expat library <= 2.2.0.
bpo-41710: On Unix, if the sem_clockwait() function is available in the C library (glibc 2.30 and newer), the threading.Lock.acquire() method now uses the monotonic clock (time.CLOCK_MONOTONIC) for the timeout, rather than using the system clock (time.CLOCK_REALTIME), to not be affected by system clock changes. Patch by Victor Stinner.
bpo-45328: Fixed http.client.HTTPConnection to work properly in OSs that don’t support the TCP_NODELAY socket option.
bpo-1596321: Fix the threading._shutdown() function when the threading module was imported first from a thread different than the main thread: no longer log an error at Python exit.
bpo-45274: Fix a race condition in the Thread.join() method of the threading module. If the function is interrupted by a signal and the signal handler raises an exception, make sure that the thread remains in a consistent state to prevent a deadlock. Patch by Victor Stinner.

(https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/NEWS.html#index-t20170401). The
ncurses-devel package in CentOS 7 had a older version ncurses resulted in compilation error. For compiling ncurses with extended color support, we verify the version of the ncurses library >= 20170401.
Windows
bpo-45901: When installed through the Microsoft Store and set as the default app for *.py files, command line arguments will now be passed to Python when invoking a script without explicitly launching Python (that is, script.py args rather than python script.py args).
bpo-45616: Fix Python Launcher’s ability to distinguish between versions 3.1 and 3.10 when either one is explicitly requested. Previously, 3.1 would be used if 3.10 was requested but not installed, and 3.10 would be used if 3.1 was requested but 3.10 was installed.
bpo-45732: Updates bundled Tcl/Tk to 8.6.12.
bpo-45720: Internal reference to shlwapi.dll was dropped to help improve startup time. This DLL will no longer be loaded at the start of every Python process.

bpo-45337: venv now warns when the created environment may need to be accessed at a different path, due to redirections, links or junctions. It also now correctly installs or upgrades components when the alternate path is required.
macOS
bpo-45732: Update python.org macOS installer to use Tcl/Tk 8.6.12.
bpo-44828: Avoid tkinter file dialog failure on macOS 12 Monterey when using the Tk 8.6.11 provided by python.org macOS installers. Patch by Marc Culler of the Tk project.
bpo-34602: When building CPython on macOS with ./configure --with-undefined-behavior-sanitizer --with-pydebug, the stack size is now quadrupled to allow for the entire test suite to pass.
IDLE
bpo-45495: Add context keywords ‘case’ and ‘match’ to completions list.
bpo-45296: On Windows, change exit/quit message to suggest Ctrl-D, which works, instead of <Ctrl-Z Return>, which does not work in IDLE.
bpo-45193: Make completion boxes appear on Ubuntu again.
Tools/Demos
bpo-44786: Fix a warning in regular expression in the c-analyzer script.
C API
bpo-39026: Fix Python.h to build C extensions with Xcode: remove a relative include from Include/cpython/pystate.h.
bpo-45307: Restore the private C API function _PyImport_FindExtensionObject(). It will be removed in Python 3.11.
