PEPs Implemented in Python 3.5
Python 3.5 introduced several major features and enhancements that significantly improved the language’s capabilities, particularly in terms of asynchronous programming, typing, and performance. These updates were guided by key Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs), ensuring that Python evolves to meet modern programming needs. Below is a list of the significant PEPs implemented in Python 3.5, with raw URLs provided for each proposal. As with previous releases, these PEPs play a vital role in shaping the language, much like standards such as RFC 7231 guide web protocols.
PEP 492 introduced native coroutines and the `async` and `await` syntax, which revolutionized asynchronous programming in Python. This feature allows developers to write asynchronous code using a more readable and intuitive syntax, making it easier to build concurrent programs. The `async` and `await` keywords enable non-blocking code execution, especially useful in applications like web servers, real-time data processing, and network services. Learn more at https://peps.python.org/pep-0492/.
PEP 465 introduced the `@` infix operator for matrix multiplication. This feature is particularly useful in scientific computing and data science, where matrix operations are common. The new operator makes matrix multiplication more concise and readable, aligning Python with mathematical notation and improving code clarity in fields such as machine learning and numerical analysis. More details can be found at https://peps.python.org/pep-0465/.
PEP 484 introduced type hints, marking the beginning of gradual typing in Python. This proposal allows developers to annotate the types of function arguments and return values, making Python more compatible with static type checking tools like `mypy`. Although type hints do not enforce types at runtime, they help improve code clarity, documentation, and tool-assisted error checking in large codebases. Learn more at https://peps.python.org/pep-0484/.
PEP 479 changed the behavior of generators to automatically raise `StopIteration` inside generators, preventing unintended behavior and bugs when using generators in loops. This update makes generators more predictable and avoids situations where `StopIteration` could unintentionally exit from a loop. This proposal improves the reliability of generators, particularly in asynchronous or concurrent code. More information can be found at https://peps.python.org/pep-0479/.
PEP 471 introduced the `os.scandir()` function, which improves the performance of directory traversals. This feature makes it faster to retrieve directory listings by avoiding unnecessary system calls, especially in large directories with many files. `os.scandir()` provides a more efficient way to iterate over directory contents, reducing overhead in file-intensive applications. Learn more at https://peps.python.org/pep-0471/.
PEP 448 introduced generalized unpacking in function calls, allowing multiple `*` and `**` unpacking operations in a single call. This update simplifies the syntax for passing arguments to functions by enabling more flexible and concise unpacking of iterables and dictionaries. The generalized unpacking feature improves code readability and reduces boilerplate in function calls. More details are available at https://peps.python.org/pep-0448/.
PEP 441 introduced the "wheel" binary package format for faster and more reliable package installation. The wheel format, which replaces the older `egg` format, allows for more efficient distribution and installation of Python packages by reducing the need for compilation during installation. This proposal significantly improves the packaging ecosystem, making it easier to distribute and install Python libraries and applications. Learn more at https://peps.python.org/pep-0441/.
PEP 461 restored `%` formatting for `bytes` and `bytearray` objects, enabling more convenient formatting of binary data. This feature makes it easier to work with byte strings in network protocols, file I/O, and binary data manipulation. The restoration of `%` formatting improves compatibility with legacy code and makes binary data handling more straightforward in Python. More details can be found at https://peps.python.org/pep-0461/.
PEP 475 modified system calls to automatically retry when interrupted by signals, improving the reliability of Python programs that interact with system resources. Previously, system calls could fail when interrupted by signals, requiring developers to handle these cases manually. With this update, system calls are automatically retried, reducing the likelihood of errors and simplifying the handling of system interactions. Learn more at https://peps.python.org/pep-0475/.
PEP 442 improved object finalization by ensuring that objects with `__del__` methods are finalized in a more predictable manner. This update makes the garbage collection process more reliable, reducing the chances of memory leaks and improving the stability of programs that rely on custom object finalization logic. More information can be found at https://peps.python.org/pep-0442/.
Conclusion
Python 3.5 was a major release that introduced fundamental changes, particularly with the `async` and `await` syntax through PEP 492, as well as type hints via PEP 484. These features helped Python evolve into a more modern and powerful programming language, suitable for asynchronous programming, scientific computing, and large-scale software development.
