The getentropy() + function is blocking to generate very good quality entropy, os.urandom() + doesn't need such high-quality entropy. + +- Issue #9232: Modify Python's grammar to allow trailing commas in the + argument list of a function declaration. For example, "def f(*, a = + 3,): pass" is now legal. Patch from Mark Dickinson. + +- Issue #24965: Implement PEP 498 "Literal String Interpolation". This + allows you to embed expressions inside f-strings, which are + converted to normal strings at run time. Given x=3, then + f'value={x}' == 'value=3'. Patch by Eric V. Smith. + +Library +------- + +- Issue #22241: timezone.utc name is now plain 'UTC', not 'UTC-00:00'. + +- Issue #23517: fromtimestamp() and utcfromtimestamp() methods of + datetime.datetime now round microseconds to nearest with ties going to + nearest even integer (ROUND_HALF_EVEN), as round(float), instead of rounding + towards -Infinity (ROUND_FLOOR). + +- Issue #23552: Timeit now warns when there is substantial (4x) variance + between best and worst times. Patch from Serhiy Storchaka. + +- Issue #24633: site-packages/README -> README.txt. + +- Issue #24879: help() and pydoc can now list named tuple fields in the + order they were defined rather than alphabetically. The ordering is + determined by the _fields attribute if present. + +- Issue #24874: Improve speed of itertools.cycle() and make its + pickle more compact. + +- Fix crash in itertools.cycle.__setstate__() when the first argument wasn't + a list. + +- Issue #20059: urllib.parse raises ValueError on all invalid ports. + Patch by Martin Panter. + +- Issue #24360: Improve __repr__ of argparse.Namespace() for invalid + identifiers.

Patch from Mark Hammond. + +- Issue #2091: open() accepted a 'U' mode string containing '+', but 'U' can + only be used with 'r'. Patch from Jeff Balogh and John O'Connor. + +- Issue #8585: improved tests for zipimporter2. Patch from Mark Lawrence. + +- Issue #18622: unittest.mock.mock_open().reset_mock would recurse infinitely. + Patch from Nicola Palumbo and Laurent De Buyst. + +- Issue #24426: Fast searching optimization in regular expressions now works + for patterns that starts with capturing groups. Fast searching optimization + now can't be disabled at compile time. + +- Issue #23661: unittest.mock side_effects can now be exceptions again. This + was a regression vs Python 3.4. Patch from Ignacio Rossi + +- Issue #13248: Remove deprecated inspect.getargspec and inspect.getmoduleinfo + functions. + +IDLE +---- + ++- Issue #24861: Most of idlelib is private and subject to change. ++ Use idleib.idle.* to start Idle.
