- Update to 3.12.5:
- Tests
- gh-59022: Add tests for pkgutil.extend_path(). Patch by
Andreas Stocker.
- gh-99242: os.getloadavg() may throw OSError when
running regression tests under certain conditions (e.g.
chroot). This error is now caught and ignored, since
reporting load average is optional.
- gh-121084: Fix test_typing random leaks. Clear typing ABC
caches when running tests for refleaks (-R option): call
_abc_caches_clear() on typing abstract classes and their
subclasses. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- gh-121160: Add a test for
readline.set_history_length(). Note that this test may fail
on readline libraries.
- gh-121200: Fix test_expanduser_pwd2() of
test_posixpath. Call getpwnam() to get pw_dir, since it
can be different than getpwall() pw_dir. Patch by Victor
Stinner.
- gh-121188: When creating the JUnit XML file, regrtest
now escapes characters which are invalid in XML, such
as the chr(27) control character used in ANSI escape
sequences. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- Security
- gh-121957: Fixed missing audit events around interactive
use of Python, now also properly firing for python -i, as
well as for python -m asyncio. The event in question is
cpython.run_stdin.
- gh-122133: Authenticate the socket connection for the
socket.socketpair() fallback on platforms where AF_UNIX is
