R. David Murray added the comment: I did not forget about set_executable...that method now works on unix *because* spawn is supported on unix now, so I don't see any need to document that separately. (It didn't previously have an 'availability windows' line, so I think its docs need some improvement if it only applies to spawn, but that's a separate issue.)

David did and does a great job (many thanks to him), but surprisingly many of
changes from msg205005 are still not mentioned in What's New.
Improvements and changes in modules:
aifc: Any bytes-like objects are now accepted.
audioop: Any bytes-like objects are now accepted. Strings no more supported.
base64: ascii85/base85 codecs.
codecs: The cp1125 encoding.
collections: New optional parameter in ChainMap.new_child().
dbm: Support for the context management protocol.
dis: Added the stack_effect() function.
email: The policy keyword argument was added in email.message.Message
constructor. The replace keyword argument was added in the set_param()
method.
The EmailPolicy.content_manager attribute was added
filecmp: Added the dircmp.DEFAULT_IGNORES attribute.
functools: total_ordering now supports the NotImplemented value.
glob: Added the escape() function.
ipaddress: Added the IPv4Address.is_global attribute.
json: Used ``(',', ': ')`` as default in dump() and dumps() if indent is not
None. I.e. trailing spaces no more produced by default.
logging: An instance of a subclass of RawConfigParser is now accepted as a
value for fname in the fileConfig() function. The verify argument was added in
the listen() function.
multiprocessing: Added following functions: get_all_start_methods(),
get_context(), get_start_method(), and set_start_method(). set_executable()
is now supported on Unix when the 'spawn' start method is used. Added the
context parameter in Pool constructor.
operator: Added the length_hint() function.
os: Add O_TMPFILE constant on Linux.
plistlib: Deprecated readPlist(), writePlist() readPlistFromBytes(),
and writePlistToBytes() functions, the Data class.

accepted.
sys: Added the __interactivehook__
hook.

files.
zipfile: ZIP64 extensions are enabled by default.
Deprecations:
The 'U' mode in open() for file objects, in the fileinput and zipfile modules.
A couple of plistlib functions. The html argument of XMLParser() and the parser
argument of iterparse() in the xml.etree.elementtree module.

Martin v. Löwis added the comment: I don't think this issue is actually release-critical. The current status of the document is fine for the release, any additions that people find can be added to bugfix releases (and online, of course). The question also is how long this issue itself stays open. Serhiy, can you please update your original list to report which of the changes you had listed are still not documented? I suggest to close the issue when all changes from msg205005 have been dealt with. -- nosy: +loewis priority: release blocker - normal ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19861 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue19861] Update What's New for Python 3.4
yegle added the comment: Hi all, It's my first time commenting on this issue tracker so bear with me if this looks naive. For the `plistlib` package, from Apple's own manual[1], there's actually a third JSON format. It'll be good to indicate that `plistlib` doesn't support JSON format in the what's new page and corresponding document page. It takes me sometime before I realize `plistlib` in Python 3.3 doesn't support the so called binary property list format. So if the JSON format won't be supported in this Python version, it'll save someone's time by just reading the manual.
