CPython — Сборка мусора изнутри, ч.3
В прошлых частях мы поговорили о том, как происходит регистрация объектов в сборщике мусора, о том как происходит планирование и вызов сборки мусора, что такое молодое поколение и как устроена для него сборка мусора. В этой части пришло время поговорить об инкрементальной сборке мусора - главному нововведению версии 3.14 в части сборки мусора. Поговорим, как она устроена, какие даёт преимущества и какие имеет недостатки, а также затронем полную сборку мусора. Если вам интересно, давайте попробуем разобраться.

PyClean v3.5.0 released last week! Adds Complexipy debris removal. Try it with #conda or #uv now! `uvx pyclean`. https://pypi.org/project/pyclean/ #python #bytecode #debris #cleanup #development #python3 #cpython #pypy #Linux #macOS #Windows #complexipy
I heard you like alphas?
Just released! Python 3.15.0a5, this time built against `main` from today instead of last month! 🚀
https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-15-0-alpha-5-yes-another-alpha/105721
Really good to see new releases from Astral, pyenv and GitHub Actions just hours after a new Python release. And for an alpha at that!
Just released: Python 3.15.0a4 and look at those JIT numbers!
Connaissiez-vous l’interpréteur RustPython ? C'est une ré-écriture complète de CPython en Rust… ça promet d'être plus rapide et sujet à moins de bug de gestion mémoire (facilement commis en C).

Pour rappel Python est le langage de programmation le plus utilisé au monde. C'est aussi l'un des langages de script les plus lents.
Published my first PyPI package today, called lafleur.
#lafleur is a specialized CPython JIT fuzzer that uses a coverage-guided, evolutionary approach. It executes test cases, observes their effect on the JIT's state by analyzing verbose trace logs, and uses that feedback to guide its mutations, becoming smarter at finding interesting code paths over time.
Let me know if you use it or have any questions.

Looks like #pyenv releases will now be more closely in sync with #CPython releases thanks to some newly implemented automation. That's great news!
Thanks to the devs for making this happen.
Some new preliminary numbers from Ken Jin for the JIT in Python 3.15:
"On AArch64 macOS, the JIT has a 7-8% speedup over the tail calling interpreter with all optimizations enabled."
https://docs.python.org/3.15/whatsnew/3.15.html#whatsnew315-jit
https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/d9c1235db44100b16355a347ca9e304df48411a7
This is in addition to 3-4% over the standard CPython interpreter on x86-64 Linux.

[Перевод] 5 ключевых изменений в Python 3.14 глазами инженера
Команда Python for Devs подготовила перевод статьи о ключевых изменениях в Python 3.14. Автор разбирает релиз через призму внутреннего устройства интерпретатора и производительности: свободная многопоточность, конкурентные интерпретаторы, удалённая отладка, инкрементальная сборка мусора и новый Tail Calling интерпретатор.
Just released! 🚀

There's another researcher, Zhengyu Liu, who's been finding CPython crashes (mostly use-after-free) at breakneck speed (19 in 5 days!): https://github.com/python/cpython/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20author%3Ajackfromeast
Not sure about what technique they're using, but their site states they they favor "leveraging program analysis approaches to detect/exploit/patch vulnerabilities in real-world complex applications and systems".
Their reports are comprehensive, with great presentation and details.
There's a researcher, Jiang Yuancheng, who's doing a great work finding CPython crashes and memory leaks: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20author%3AYuanchengJiang
They've come up with a very clever idea for a new way of fuzzing, made a fine tool out of it, and are reaping great results.
Fuzzing can be a diminishing returns endeavor: you only have so many bugs to find. Their approach has shown itself to cover different areas and kinds of issues well, as shown by their track record.
niklas-heer/speed-comparison: A repo which compares the speed of different programming languages.
https://github.com/niklas-heer/speed-comparison
This projects tries to compare the speed of different #programming languages. It uses an implementation of the Leibniz formula for π to do the comparison.
Notably:
- #Julia is the only dynamically-typed languages amoung the top tier, only ~28ms slower from #Cpp (#Clang).
- #Rust got a huge boost with nightly compiler (it is said that hand-written SIMD is used?)
- #Go tops in 3rd tier (very crowded 0.8s~1s)
- #PyPy and #Haskell (#GHC) are very closed (~1s), preceding #Racket, beating #Python (#NumPy) by a lot (~1.2s)
- The slowest is #CPython (~86s)

Python 3.14.2 (and 3.13.11)
Waiting for the .2 to upgrade? This one's especially for you!
So soon? We found some regressions, so here’s an expedited pair of releases. They also come with bonus security fixes.

#Python #GarbageCollector #CPython #Memoria #DevOps #FastAPI
BREAKING: #CPython 3.13.10 and 3.14.1 changed the multiprocessing message format in patch release. As a result, programs using multiprocessing may break randomly if they are running while #Python is upgraded (i.e. need restarting).
But apparently it's not a big deal, since all the cool kids are running Python in containers, and nobody is using Python for system tools anymore. Everything has been RIIR-ed and Python is only omnipresent in some backwaters like #Gentoo.
Just released! 🚀🐍

🥧 Zstandard!
🥧 Syntax highlighting in the REPL!
🥧 Colour in unittest, argparse, json and calendar CLIs!
🥧 UUID v6-8!
🥧 And much more!

We're going to start disabling the commit bit (aka write access) to the #CPython repo for inactive core team members.
https://discuss.python.org/t/regularly-disabling-unused-commit-access-to-the-cpython-repo/105010
I proposed this after a security discussion at last year's #LanguageSummit:
https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2024/06/python-language-summit-2024-python-security-model-after-xz.html
Disabling the commit bit has no impact on core team status, nor Steering Council voting status, and you can easily ask for it back again.
