Profile Guided Optimization --------------------------- -PGO takes advantage of recent versions of the GCC or Clang compilers. If ran, -``make profile-opt`` will do several steps. - -First, the entire Python directory is cleaned of temporary files that may have -resulted in a previous compilation. - -Then, an instrumented version of the interpreter is built, using suitable -compiler flags for each flavour. Note that this is just an intermediary step -and the binary resulted after this step is not good for real life workloads, as -it has profiling instructions embedded inside. - -After this instrumented version of the interpreter is built, the Makefile will -automatically run a training workload. This is necessary in order to profile -the interpreter execution. Note also that any output, both stdout and stderr, -that may appear at this step is suppressed. - -Finally, the last step is to rebuild the interpreter, using the information -collected in the previous one. The end result will be a Python binary that is -optimized and suitable for distribution or production installation. - - -Link Time Optimization ----------------------- - -Enabled via configure's ``--with-lto`` flag. LTO takes advantage of the -ability of recent compiler toolchains to optimize across the otherwise -arbitrary ``.o`` file boundary when building final executables or shared -libraries for additional performance gains. - - -What's New ----------- - -We have a comprehensive overview of the changes in the `What's New in Python -3.7 `_ document. For a more -detailed change log, read `Misc/NEWS -`_, but a full -accounting of changes can only be gleaned from the `commit history -`_. - -If you want to install multiple versions of Python see the section below -entitled "Installing multiple versions". - - -Documentation -------------- - -`Documentation for Python 3.7 `_ is online, -updated daily. - -It can also be downloaded in many formats for faster access. The documentation -is downloadable in HTML, PDF, and reStructuredText formats; the latter version -is primarily for documentation authors, translators, and people with special -formatting requirements. - -If you would like to contribute to the development of Python, relevant -documentation is available in the `Python Developer's Guide -`_. - -For information about building Python's documentation, refer to `Doc/README.rst -`_. - - -Converting From Python 2.x to 3.x ---------------------------------- - -Significant backward incompatible changes were made for the release of Python -3.0, which may cause programs written for Python 2 to fail when run with Python -3. For more information about porting your code from Python 2 to Python 3, see -the `Porting HOWTO `_. - - -Testing -------- - -To test the interpreter, type ``make test`` in the top-level directory. The -test set produces some output. You can generally ignore the messages about -skipped tests due to optional features which can't be imported. If a message -is printed about a failed test or a traceback or core dump is produced, -something is wrong. - -By default, tests are prevented from overusing resources like disk space and -memory. To enable these tests, run ``make testall``. - -If any tests fail, you can re-run the failing test(s) in verbose mode:: - - make test TESTOPTS="-v test_that_failed" - -If the failure persists and appears to be a problem with Python rather than -your environment, you can `file a bug report `_ and -include relevant output from that command to show the issue. - - -Installing multiple versions ----------------------------- - -On Unix and Mac systems if you intend to install multiple versions of Python -using the same installation prefix (``--prefix`` argument to the configure -script) you must take care that your primary python executable is not -overwritten by the installation of a different version. All files and -directories installed using ``make altinstall`` contain the major and minor -version and can thus live side-by-side. ``make install`` also creates -``${prefix}/bin/python3`` which refers to ``${prefix}/bin/pythonX.Y``. If you -intend to install multiple versions using the same prefix you must decide which -version (if any) is your "primary" version. Install that version using ``make -install``. Install all other versions using ``make altinstall``. - -For example, if you want to install Python 2.7, 3.6, and 3.7 with 3.7 being the -primary version, you would execute ``make install`` in your 3.7 build directory -and ``make altinstall`` in the others. - - -Issue Tracker and Mailing List ------------------------------- - -Bug reports are welcome! You can use the `issue tracker -`_ to report bugs, and/or submit pull requests `on -GitHub `_. - -You can also follow development discussion on the `python-dev mailing list -`_. - - -Proposals for enhancement -------------------------- - -If you have a proposal to change Python, you may want to send an email to the -comp.lang.python or `python-ideas`_ mailing lists for initial feedback. A -Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) may be submitted if your idea gains ground. -All current PEPs, as well as guidelines for submitting a new PEP, are listed at -`python.org/dev/peps/ `_. - -.. _python-ideas: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas/ - - -Release Schedule ----------------- - -See :pep:`537` for Python 3.7 release details. - - -Copyright and License Information ---------------------------------- - -Copyright (c) 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, -2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 Python Software Foundation.
