=================== astroid's ChangeLog =================== What's New in astroid 2.6.0? ============================ Release Date: TBA What's New in astroid 2.5.3? ============================ Release Date: 2021-04-10 * Takes into account the fact that subscript inferring for a ClassDef may involve __class_getitem__ method * Reworks the `collections` and `typing` brain so that `pylint`s acceptance tests are fine. Closes PyCQA/pylint#4206 * Use ``inference_tip`` for ``typing.TypedDict`` brain. * Fix mro for classes that inherit from typing.Generic * Add inference tip for typing.Generic and typing.Annotated with ``__class_getitem__`` Closes PyCQA/pylint#2822 What's New in astroid 2.5.2? ============================ Release Date: 2021-03-28 * Detects `import numpy` as a valid `numpy` import. Closes PyCQA/pylint#3974 * Iterate over ``Keywords`` when using ``ClassDef.get_children`` Closes PyCQA/pylint#3202 What's New in astroid 2.5.1? ============================ Release Date: 2021-02-28 * The ``context.path`` is reverted to a set because otherwise it leads to false positives for non `numpy` functions. Closes #895 #899 * Don't transform dataclass ClassVars * Improve typing.TypedDict inference * Fix the `Duplicates found in MROs` false positive. Closes #905 Closes PyCQA/pylint#2717 Closes PyCQA/pylint#3247 Closes PyCQA/pylint#4093 Closes PyCQA/pylint#4131 Closes PyCQA/pylint#4145 What's New in astroid 2.5? ============================ Release Date: 2021-02-15 * Adds `attr_fset` in the `PropertyModel` class. Fixes PyCQA/pylint#3480 * Remove support for Python 3.5. * Remove the runtime dependency on ``six``. The ``six`` brain remains in astroid. Fixes PyCQA/astroid#863 * Enrich the ``brain_collection`` module so that ``__class_getitem__`` method is added to `deque` for ``python`` version above 3.9. * The ``context.path`` is now a ``dict`` and the ``context.push`` method returns ``True`` if the node has been visited a certain amount of times. Close #669 * Adds a brain for type object so that it is possible to write `type[int]` in annotation. Fixes PyCQA/pylint#4001 * Add ``__class_getitem__`` method to ``subprocess.Popen`` brain under Python 3.9 so that it is seen as subscriptable by pylint. Fixes PyCQA/pylint#4034 * Adds `degrees`, `radians`, which are `numpy ufunc` functions, in the `numpy` brain. Adds `random` function in the `numpy.random` brain. Fixes PyCQA/pylint#3856 * Fix deprecated importlib methods Closes #703 * Fix a crash in inference caused by `Uninferable` container elements Close #866 * Add `python 3.9` support. * The flat attribute of ``numpy.ndarray`` is now inferred as an ``numpy.ndarray`` itself. It should be a ``numpy.flatiter`` instance, but this class is not yet available in the numpy brain. Fixes PyCQA/pylint#3640 * Fix a bug for dunder methods inference of function objects Fixes #819 * Fixes a bug in the signature of the ``ndarray.__or__`` method, in the ``brain_numpy_ndarray.py`` module. Fixes #815 * Fixes a to-list cast bug in ``starred_assigned_stmts`` method, in the ``protocols.py` module. * Added a brain for ``hypothesis.strategies.composite`` * The transpose of a ``numpy.ndarray`` is also a ``numpy.ndarray`` Fixes PyCQA/pylint#3387 * Added a brain for ``sqlalchemy.orm.session`` * Separate string and bytes classes patching Fixes PyCQA/pylint#3599 * Prevent recursion error for self referential length calls Close #777 * Added missing methods to the brain for ``mechanize``, to fix pylint false positives Close #793 * Added more supported parameters to ``subprocess.check_output`` * Fix recursion errors with pandas Fixes PyCQA/pylint#2843 Fixes PyCQA/pylint#2811 * Added exception inference for `UnicodeDecodeError` Close PyCQA/pylint#3639 * `FunctionDef.is_generator` properly handles `yield` nodes in `If` tests Close PyCQA/pylint#3583 * Fixed exception-chaining error messages. * Fix failure to infer base class type with multiple inheritance and qualified names Fixes #843 * Fix interpretation of ``six.with_metaclass`` class definitions. Fixes #713 * Reduce memory usage of astroid's module cache. * Remove dependency on `imp`. Close #594 Close #681 * Do not crash when encountering starred assignments in enums. Close #835 * Fix a crash in functools.partial inference when the arguments cannot be determined Close PyCQA/pylint#3776 * Fix a crash caused by a lookup of a monkey-patched method Close PyCQA/pylint#3686 * ``is_generator`` correctly considers `Yield` nodes in `AugAssign` nodes This fixes a false positive with the `assignment-from-no-return` pylint check. Close PyCQA/pylint#3904 * Corrected the parent of function type comment nodes. These nodes used to be parented to their original ast.FunctionDef parent but are now correctly parented to their astroid.FunctionDef parent. Close PyCQA/astroid#851 What's New in astroid 2.4.2? ============================ Release Date: 2020-06-08 * `FunctionDef.is_generator` properly handles `yield` nodes in `While` tests Close PyCQA/pylint#3519 * Properly construct the arguments of infered property descriptors Close PyCQA/pylint#3648 What's New in astroid 2.4.1? ============================ Release Date: 2020-05-05 * Handle the case where the raw builder fails to retrieve the ``__all__`` attribute Close #772 * Restructure the AST parsing heuristic to always pick the same module Close PyCQA/pylint#3540 Close #773 * Changed setup.py to work with [distlib](https://pypi.org/project/distlib) Close #779 * Do not crash with SyntaxError when parsing namedtuples with invalid label Close PyCQA/pylint#3549 * Protect against ``infer_call_result`` failing with `InferenceError` in `Super.getattr()` Close PyCQA/pylint#3529 What's New in astroid 2.4.0? ============================ Release Date: 2020-04-27 * Expose a ast_from_string method in AstroidManager, which will accept source code as a string and return the corresponding astroid object Closes PyCQA/astroid#725 * ``BoundMethod.implicit_parameters`` returns a proper value for ``__new__`` Close PyCQA/pylint#2335 * Allow slots added dynamically to a class to still be inferred Close PyCQA/pylint#2334 * Allow `FunctionDef.getattr` to look into both instance attrs and special attributes Close PyCQA/pylint#1078 * Infer qualified ``classmethod`` as a classmethod. Close PyCQA/pylint#3417 * Prevent a recursion error to happen when inferring the declared metaclass of a class Close #749 * Raise ``AttributeInferenceError`` when ``getattr()`` receives an empty name Close PyCQA/pylint#2991 * Prevent a recursion error for self reference variables and `type()` calls. Close #199 * Do not infer the first argument of a staticmethod in a metaclass as the class itself Close PyCQA/pylint#3032 * ``NodeNG.bool_value()`` gained an optional ``context`` parameter We need to pass an inference context downstream when inferring the boolean value of a node in order to prevent recursion errors and double inference. This fix prevents a recursion error with dask library. Close PyCQA/pylint#2985 * Pass a context argument to ``astroid.Arguments`` to prevent recursion errors Close PyCQA/pylint#3414 * Better inference of class and static methods decorated with custom methods Close PyCQA/pylint#3209 * Reverse the order of decorators for `infer_subscript` `path_wrapper` needs to come first, followed by `raise_if_nothing_inferred`, otherwise we won't handle `StopIteration` correctly. Close #762 * Prevent a recursion error when inferring self-referential variables without definition Close PyCQA/pylint#1285 * Numpy `datetime64.astype` return value is inferred as a `ndarray`. Close PyCQA/pylint#3332 * Skip non ``Assign`` and ``AnnAssign`` nodes from enum reinterpretation Closes PyCQA/pylint#3365 * Numpy ``ndarray`` attributes ``imag`` and ``real`` are now inferred as ``ndarray``. Close PyCQA/pylint#3322 * Added a call to ``register_transform`` for all functions of the ``brain_numpy_core_multiarray`` module in case the current node is an instance of ``astroid.Name`` Close #666 * Use the parent of the node when inferring aug assign nodes instead of the statement Close PyCQA/pylint#2911 Close PyCQA/pylint#3214 * Added some functions to the ``brain_numpy_core_umath`` module Close PyCQA/pylint#3319 * Added some functions of the ``numpy.core.multiarray`` module Close PyCQA/pylint#3208 * All the ``numpy ufunc`` functions derived now from a common class that implements the specific ``reduce``, ``accumulate``, ``reduceat``, ``outer`` and ``at`` methods. Close PyCQA/pylint#2885 * ``nodes.Const.itered`` returns a list of ``Const`` nodes, not strings Close PyCQA/pylint#3306 * The ``shape`` attribute of a ``numpy ndarray`` is now a ``ndarray`` Close PyCQA/pylint#3139 * Don't ignore special methods when inspecting gi classes Close #728 * Added transform for ``scipy.gaussian`` * Add suport for inferring properties. * Added a brain for ``responses`` * Allow inferring positional only arguments. * Retry parsing a module that has invalid type comments It is possible for a module to use comments that might be interpreted as type comments by the `ast` library. We do not want to completely crash on those invalid type comments. Close #708 * Scope the inference to the current bound node when inferring instances of classes When inferring instances of classes from arguments, such as ``self`` in a bound method, we could use as a hint the context's ``boundnode``, which indicates the instance from which the inference originated. As an example, a subclass that uses a parent's method which returns ``self``, will override the ``self`` to point to it instead of pointing to the parent class. Close PyCQA/pylint#3157 * Add support for inferring exception instances in all contexts We were able to infer exception instances as ``ExceptionInstance`` only for a handful of cases, but not all. ``ExceptionInstance`` has support for better inference of `.args` and other exception related attributes that normal instances do not have. This additional support should remove certain false positives related to ``.args`` and other exception attributes in ``pylint``. Close PyCQA/pylint#2333 * Add more supported parameters to ``subprocess.check_output`` Close #722 * Infer args unpacking of ``self`` Certain stdlib modules use ``*args`` to encapsulate the ``self`` parameter, which results in uninferable instances given we rely on the presence of the ``self`` argument to figure out the instance where we should be setting attributes. Close PyCQA/pylint#3216 * Clean up setup.py Make pytest-runner a requirement only if running tests, similar to what was done with McCabe. Clean up the setup.py file, resolving a handful of minor warnings with it. * Handle StopIteration error in infer_int. Close PyCQA/pylint#3274 * Can access per argument type comments for positional only and keyword only arguments. The comments are accessed through through the new ``Arguments.type_comment_posonlyargs`` and ``Arguments.type_comment_kwonlyargs`` attributes respectively. * Relax upper bound on `wrapt` Close #755 * Properly analyze CFFI compiled extensions. What's New in astroid 2.3.2? ============================ Release Date: TBA * All type comments have as parent the corresponding `astroid` node Until now they had as parent the builtin `ast` node which meant we were operating with primitive objects instead of our own. Close PyCQA/pylint#3174 * Pass an inference context to `metaclass()` when inferring an object type This should prevent a bunch of recursion errors happening in pylint. Also refactor the inference of `IfExp` nodes to use separate contexts for each potential branch. Close PyCQA/pylint#3152 Close PyCQA/pylint#3159 What's New in astroid 2.3.1? ============================ Release Date: 2019-09-30 * A transform for the builtin `dataclasses` module was added. This should address various `dataclasses` issues that were surfaced even more after the release of pylint 2.4.0. In the previous versions of `astroid`, annotated assign nodes were allowed to be retrieved via `getattr()` but that no longer happens with the latest `astroid` release, as those attribute are not actual attributes, but rather virtual ones, thus an operation such as `getattr()` does not make sense for them. * Update attr brain to partly understand annotated attributes Close #656 What's New in astroid 2.3.0? ============================ Release Date: 2019-09-24 * Add a brain tip for ``subprocess.check_output`` Close #689 * Remove NodeNG.nearest method because of lack of usage in astroid and pylint. Close #691 * Allow importing wheel files. Close #541 * Annotated AST follows PEP8 coding style when converted to string. * Fix a bug where defining a class using type() could cause a DuplicateBasesError. Close #644 * Dropped support for Python 3.4. * Numpy brain support is improved. Numpy's fundamental type ``numpy.ndarray`` has its own brain : ``brain_numpy_ndarray`` and each numpy module that necessitates brain action has now its own numpy brain : - ``numpy.core.numeric`` - ``numpy.core.function_base`` - ``numpy.core.multiarray`` - ``numpy.core.numeric`` - ``numpy.core.numerictypes`` - ``numpy.core.umath`` - ``numpy.random.mtrand`` Close PyCQA/pylint#2865 Close PyCQA/pylint#2747 Close PyCQA/pylint#2721 Close PyCQA/pylint#2326 Close PyCQA/pylint#2021 * ``assert`` only functions are properly inferred as returning ``None`` Close #668 * Add support for Python 3.8's `NamedExpr` nodes, which is part of assignment expressions. Close #674 * Added support for inferring `IfExp` nodes. * Instances of exceptions are inferred as such when inferring in non-exception context This allows special inference support for exception attributes such as `.args`. Close PyCQA/pylint#2333 * Drop a superfluous and wrong callcontext when inferring the result of a context manager Close PyCQA/pylint#2859 * ``igetattr`` raises ``InferenceError`` on re-inference of the same object This prevents ``StopIteration`` from leaking when we encounter the same object in the current context, which could result in various ``RuntimeErrors`` leaking in other parts of the inference. Until we get a global context per inference, the solution is sort of a hack, as with the suggested global context improvement, we could theoretically reuse the same inference object. Close #663 * Variable annotations can no longer be retrieved with `ClassDef.getattr` Unless they have an attached value, class variable annotations can no longer be retrieved with `ClassDef.getattr.` * Improved builtin inference for ``tuple``, ``set``, ``frozenset``, ``list`` and ``dict`` We were properly inferring these callables *only* if they had consts as values, but that is not the case most of the time. Instead we try to infer the values that their arguments can be and use them instead of assuming Const nodes all the time. Close PyCQA/pylint#2841 * The last except handler wins when inferring variables bound in an except handler. Close PyCQA/pylint#2777 * ``threading.Lock.locked()`` is properly recognized as a member of ``threading.Lock`` Close PyCQA/pylint#2791 * Fix recursion error involving ``len`` and self referential attributes Close PyCQA/pylint#2736 Close PyCQA/pylint#2734 Close PyCQA/pylint#2740 * Can access per argument type comments through new ``Arguments.type_comment_args`` attribute. Close #665 * Fix being unable to access class attributes on a NamedTuple. Close PyCQA/pylint#1628 * Fixed being unable to find distutils submodules by name when in a virtualenv. Close PyCQA/pylint#73 What's New in astroid 2.2.0? ============================ Release Date: 2019-02-27 * Fix a bug concerning inference of calls to numpy function that should not return Tuple or List instances. Close PyCQA/pylint#2436 * Fix a bug where a method, which is a lambda built from a function, is not inferred as ``BoundMethod`` Close PyCQA/pylint#2594 * ``typed_ast`` gets installed for Python 3.7, meaning type comments can now work on 3.7. * Fix a bug concerning inference of unary operators on numpy types. Close PyCQA/pylint#2436 (first part) * Fix a crash with ``typing.NamedTuple`` and empty fields. Close PyCQA/pylint#2745 * Add a proper ``strerror`` inference to the ``OSError`` exceptions. Close PyCQA/pylint#2553 * Support non-const nodes as values of Enum attributes. Close #612 * Fix a crash in the ``enum`` brain tip caused by non-assign members in class definitions. Close PyCQA/pylint#2719 * ``brain_numpy`` returns an undefined type for ``numpy`` methods to avoid ``assignment-from-no-return`` Close PyCQA/pylint#2694 * Fix a bug where a call to a function that has been previously called via functools.partial was wrongly inferred Close PyCQA/pylint#2588 * Fix a recursion error caused by inferring the ``slice`` builtin. Close PyCQA/pylint#2667 * Remove the restriction that "old style classes" cannot have a MRO. This does not make sense any longer given that we run against Python 3 code. Close PyCQA/pylint#2701 * Added more builtin exceptions attributes. Close #580 * Add a registry for builtin exception models. Close PyCQA/pylint#1432 * Add brain tips for `http.client`. Close PyCQA/pylint#2687 * Prevent crashing when processing ``enums`` with mixed single and double quotes. Close PyCQA/pylint#2676 * ``typing`` types have the `__args__` property. Close PyCQA/pylint#2419 * Fix a bug where an Attribute used as a base class was triggering a crash Close #626 * Added special support for `enum.IntFlag` Close PyCQA/pylint#2534 * Extend detection of data classes defined with attr Close #628 * Fix typo in description for brain_attrs What's New in astroid 2.1.0? ============================ Release Date: 2018-11-25 * ``threading.Lock.acquire`` has the ``timeout`` parameter now. Close PyCQA/pylint#2457 * Pass parameters by keyword name when inferring sequences. Close PyCQA/pylint#2526 * Correct line numbering for f-strings for complex embedded expressions When a f-string contained a complex expression, such as an attribute access, we weren't cloning all the subtree of the f-string expression for attaching the correct line number. This problem is coming from the builtin AST parser which gives for the f-string and for its underlying elements the line number 1, but this is causing all sorts of bugs and problems in pylint, which expects correct line numbering. Close PyCQA/pylint#2449 * Add support for `argparse.Namespace` Close PyCQA/pylint#2413 * `async` functions are now inferred as `AsyncGenerator` when inferring their call result. * Filter out ``Uninferable`` when inferring the call result result of a class with an uninferable ``__call__`` method. Close PyCQA/pylint#2434 * Make compatible with AST changes in Python 3.8. * Subscript inference (e.g. "`a[i]`") now pays attention to multiple inferred values for value (e.g. "`a`") and slice (e.g. "`i`") Close #614 What's New in astroid 2.0.4? ============================ Release Date: 2018-08-10 * Make sure that assign nodes can find ``yield`` statements in their values Close PyCQA/pylint#2400 What's New in astroid 2.0.3? ============================ Release Date: 2018-08-08 * The environment markers for PyPy were invalid. What's New in astroid 2.0.2? ============================ Release Date: 2018-08-01 * Stop repeat inference attempt causing a RuntimeError in Python3.7 Close PyCQA/pylint#2317 * infer_call_result can raise InferenceError so make sure to handle that for the call sites where it is used infer_call_result started recently to raise InferenceError for objects for which it could not find any returns. Previously it was silently raising a StopIteration, which was especially leaking when calling builtin methods. Since it is after all an inference method, it is expected that it could raise an InferenceError rather than returning nothing. Close PyCQA/pylint#2350 What's New in astroid 2.0.1? ============================ Release Date: 2018-07-19 * Released to clear an old wheel package on PyPI What's New in astroid 2.0? ========================== Release Date: 2018-07-15 * String representation of nodes takes in account precedence and associativity rules of operators. * Fix loading files with `modutils.load_from_module` when the path that contains it in `sys.path` is a symlink and the file is contained in a symlinked folder. Close #583 * Reworking of the numpy brain dealing with numerictypes (use of inspect module to determine the class hierarchy of numpy.core.numerictypes module) Close PyCQA/pylint#2140 * Added inference support for starred nodes in for loops Close #146 * Support unpacking for dicts in assignments Close #268 * Add support for inferring functools.partial Close #125 * Inference support for `dict.fromkeys` Close #110 * `int()` builtin is inferred as returning integers. Close #150 * `str()` builtin is inferred as returning strings. Close #148 * DescriptorBoundMethod has the correct number of arguments defined. * Improvement of the numpy numeric types definition. Close PyCQA/pylint#1971 * Subclasses of *property* are now interpreted as properties Close PyCQA/pylint#1601 * AsStringRegexpPredicate has been removed. Use transform predicates instead of it. * Switched to using typed_ast for getting access to type comments As a side effect of this change, some nodes gained a new `type_annotation` attribute, which, if the type comments were correctly parsed, should contain a node object with the corresponding objects from the type comment. * typing.X[...] and typing.NewType are inferred as classes instead of instances. * Module.__path__ is now a list It used to be a string containing the path, but it doesn't reflect the situation on Python, where it is actually a list. * Fix a bug with namespace package's __path__ attribute. Close #528 * Added brain tips for random.sample Part of PyCQA/pylint#811 * Add brain tip for `issubclass` builtin Close #101. * Fix submodule imports from six Close PyCQA/pylint#1640 * Fix missing __module__ and __qualname__ from class definition locals Close PYCQA/pylint#1753 * Fix a crash when __annotations__ access a parent's __init__ that does not have arguments Close #473 * Fix multiple objects sharing the same InferenceContext.path causing uninferable results Close #483 * Fix improper modification of col_offset, lineno upon inference of builtin functions Close PyCQA/pylint#1839 * Subprocess.Popen brain now knows of the args member Close PyCQA/pylint#1860 * add move_to_end method to collections.OrderedDict brain Close PyCQA/pylint#1872 * Include new hashlib classes added in python 3.6 * Fix RecursionError for augmented assign Close #437, #447, #313, PyCQA/pylint#1642, PyCQA/pylint#1805, PyCQA/pylint#1854, PyCQA/pylint#1452 * Add missing attrs special attribute Close PyCQA/pylint#1884 * Inference now understands the 'isinstance' builtin Close #98 * Stop duplicate nodes with the same key values from appearing in dictionaries from dictionary unpacking. Close PyCQA/pylint#1843 * Fix ``contextlib.contextmanager`` inference for nested context managers Close #1699 * Implement inference for len builtin Close #112 * Add qname method to Super object preventing potential errors in upstream pylint Close #533 * Stop astroid from getting stuck in an infinite loop if a function shares its name with its decorator Close #375 * Fix issue with inherited __call__ improperly inferencing self Close #PyCQA/pylint#2199 * Fix __call__ precedence for classes with custom metaclasses Close PyCQA/pylint#2159 * Limit the maximum amount of interable result in an NodeNG.infer() call to 100 by default for performance issues with variables with large amounts of possible values. The max inferable value can be tuned by setting the `max_inferable_values` flag on astroid.MANAGER. What's New in astroid 1.6.0? ============================ Release Date: 2017-12-15 * When verifying duplicates classes in MRO, ignore on-the-fly generated classes Close PyCQA/pylint#1706 * Add brain tip for attrs library to prevent unsupported-assignment-operation false positives Close PYCQA/pylint#1698 * file_stream was removed, since it was deprecated for three releases Instead one should use the .stream() method. * Vast improvements to numpy support * Add brain tips for curses Close PyCQA/pylint#1703 * Add brain tips for UUID.int Close PyCQA/pylint#961 * The result of using object.__new__ as class decorator is correctly inferred as instance Close #172 * Enums created with functional syntax are now iterable * Enums created with functional syntax are now subscriptable * Don't crash when getting the string representation of BadUnaryOperationMessage In some cases, when the operand does not have a .name attribute, getting the string representation of a BadUnaryOperationMessage leads to a crash. Close PyCQA/pylint#1563 * Don't raise DuplicateBaseError when classes at different locations are used For instance, one can implement a namedtuple base class, which gets reused on a class with the same name later on in the file. Until now, we considered these two classes as being the same, because they shared the name, but in fact they are different, being created at different locations and through different means. Close PyCQA/pylint#1458 * The func form of namedtuples with keywords is now understood Close PyCQA/pylint#1530 * Fix inference for nested calls * Dunder class at method level is now inferred as the class of the method Close PyCQA/pylint#1328 * Stop most inference tip overwrites from happening by using predicates on existing inference_tip transforms. Close #472 * Fix object.__new__(cls) calls in classmethods by using a context which has the proper boundnode for the given argument Close #404 * Fix Pathlib type inference Close PyCQA/pylint#224 Close PyCQA/pylint#1660 What's New in astroid 1.5.3? ============================ Release Date: 2017-06-03 * enum34 dependency is forced to be at least version 1.1.3. Fixes spurious bug related to enum classes being falsy in boolean context, which caused _Inconsistent Hierarchy_ `RuntimeError` in `singledispatch` module. See links below for details: - http://bugs.python.org/issue26748 - https://bitbucket.org/ambv/singledispatch/issues/8/inconsistent-hierarchy-with-enum - https://bitbucket.org/stoneleaf/enum34/commits/da50803651ab644e6fce66ebc85562f1117c344b * Do not raise an exception when uninferable value is unpacked in ``with`` statement. * Lock objects from ``threading`` module are now correctly recognised as context managers. What's New in astroid 1.5.2? ============================ Release Date: 2017-04-17 * Basic support for the class form of typing.NamedTuple * mro() can be computed for classes with old style classes in the hierarchy What's New in astroid 1.5.0? ============================ Release Date: 2017-04-13 * Arguments node gained a new attribute, ``kwonlyargs_annotations`` This new attribute holds the annotations for the keyword-only arguments. * `namedtuple` inference now understands `rename` keyword argument * Classes can now know their definition-time arguments. Classes can support keyword arguments, which are passed when a class is constructed using ``__new__``. * Add support for inferring typing.NamedTuple. * ClassDef now supports __getitem__ inference through the metaclass. * getitem() method accepts nodes now, instead of Python objects. * Add support for explicit namespace packages, created with pkg_resources. * Add brain tips for _io.TextIOWrapper's buffer and raw attributes. * Add `returns` into the proper order in FunctionDef._astroid_fields The order is important, since it determines the last child, which in turn determines the last line number of a scoped node. * Add brain tips for functools.lru_cache. * New function, astroid.extract_node, exported out from astroid.test_utils. * Stop saving assignment locals in ExceptHandlers, when the context is a store. This fixes a tripping case, where the RHS of a ExceptHandler can be redefined by the LHS, leading to a local save. For instance, ``except KeyError, exceptions.IndexError`` could result in a local save for IndexError as KeyError, resulting in potential unexpected inferences. Since we don't lose a lot, this syntax gets prohibited. * Fix a crash which occurred when the class of a namedtuple could not be inferred. * Add support for implicit namespace packages (PEP 420) This change involves a couple of modifications. First, we're relying on a spec finder protocol, inspired by importlib's ModuleSpec, for finding where a file or package is, using importlib's PathFinder as well, which enable us to discover namespace packages as well. This discovery is the center piece of the namespace package support, the other part being the construction of a dummy Module node whenever a namespace package root directory is requested during astroid's import references. * Introduce a special attributes model Through this model, astroid starts knowing special attributes of certain Python objects, such as functions, classes, super objects and so on. This was previously possible before, but now the lookup and the attributes themselves are separated into a new module, objectmodel.py, which describes, in a more comprehensive way, the data model of each object. * Exceptions have their own object model Some of exceptions's attributes, such as .args and .message, can't be inferred correctly since they are descriptors that get transformed into the proper objects at runtime. This can cause issues with the static analysis, since they are inferred as different than what's expected. Now when we're creating instances of exceptions, we're inferring a special object that knows how to transform those runtime attributes into the proper objects via a custom object model. Closes issue #81 * dict.values, dict.keys and dict.items are properly inferred to their corresponding type, which also includes the proper containers for Python 3. * Fix a crash which occurred when a method had a same name as a builtin object, decorated at the same time by that builtin object ( a property for instance) * The inference can handle the case where the attribute is accessed through a subclass of a base class and the attribute is defined at the base class's level, by taking in consideration a redefinition in the subclass. This should fix https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/432 * Calling lambda methods (defined at class level) can be understood. * Don't take in consideration invalid assignments, especially when __slots__ declaration forbids them. Close issue #332 * Functional form of enums support accessing values through __call__. * Brain tips for the ssl library. * decoratornames() does not leak InferenceError anymore. * wildcard_imported_names() got replaced by _public_names() Our understanding of wildcard imports through __all__ was half baked to say at least, since we couldn't account for modifications of the list, which results in tons of false positives. Instead, we replaced it with _public_names(), a method which returns all the names that are publicly available in a module, that is that don't start with an underscore, even though this means that there is a possibility for other names to be leaked out even though they are not present in the __all__ variable. The method is private in 1.4.X. * unpack_infer raises InferenceError if it can't operate with the given sequences of nodes. * Support accessing properties with super(). * Enforce strong updates per frames. When looking up a name in a scope, Scope.lookup will return only the values which will be reachable after execution, as seen in the following code: a = 1 a = 2 In this case it doesn't make sense to return two values, but only the last one. * Add support for inference on threading.Lock As a matter of fact, astroid can infer on threading.RLock, threading.Semaphore, but can't do it on threading.Lock (because it comes from an extension module). * pkg_resources brain tips are a bit more specific, by specifying proper returns. * The slots() method conflates all the slots from the ancestors into a list of current and parent slots. We're doing this because this is the right semantics of slots, they get inherited, as long as each parent defines a __slots__ entry. * Some nodes got a new attribute, 'ctx', which tells in which context the said node was used. The possible values for the contexts are `Load` ('a'), `Del` ('del a'), `Store` ('a = 4') and the nodes that got the new attribute are Starred, Subscript, List and Tuple. Closes issue #267. * relative_to_absolute_name or methods calling it will now raise TooManyLevelsError when a relative import was trying to access something beyond the top-level package. * AstroidBuildingException is now AstroidBuildingError. The first name will exist until astroid 2.0. * Add two new exceptions, AstroidImportError and AstroidSyntaxError. They are subclasses of AstroidBuildingException and are raised when a module can't be imported from various reasons. Also do_import_module lets the errors to bubble up without converting them to InferenceError. This particular conversion happens only during the inference. * Revert to using printf-style formatting in as_string, in order to avoid a potential problem with encodings when using .format. Closes issue #273. Patch by notsqrt. * assigned_stmts methods have the same signature from now on. They used to have different signatures and each one made assumptions about what could be passed to other implementations, leading to various possible crashes when one or more arguments weren't given. Closes issue #277. * Fix metaclass detection, when multiple keyword arguments are used in class definition. * Add support for annotated variable assignments (PEP 526) * Starred expressions are now inferred correctly for tuple, list, set, and dictionary literals. * Support for asynchronous comprehensions introduced in Python 3.6. Fixes #399. See PEP530 for details. What's New in astroid 1.4.1? ============================ Release Date: 2015-11-29 * Add support for handling Uninferable nodes when calling as_string Some object, for instance List or Tuple can have, after inference, Uninferable as their elements, happening when their components weren't couldn't be inferred properly. This means that as_string needs to cope with expecting Uninferable nodes part of the other nodes coming for a string transformation. The patch adds a visit method in AsString and ``accept`` on Yes / Uninferable nodes. Closes issue #270. What's New in astroid 1.4.0? ============================ Release Date: 2015-11-29 * Class.getattr('__mro__') returns the actual MRO. Closes issue #128. * The logilab-common dependency is not needed anymore as the needed code was integrated into astroid. * Generated enum member stubs now support IntEnum and multiple base classes. * astroid.builder.AstroidBuilder.string_build and astroid.builder.AstroidBuilder.file_build are now raising AstroidBuildingException when the parsing of the string raises a SyntaxError. * Add brain tips for multiprocessing.Manager and multiprocessing.managers.SyncManager. * Add some fixes which enhances the Jython support. The fix mostly includes updates to modutils, which is modified in order to properly lookup paths from live objects, which ends in $py.class, not pyc as for Python 2, Closes issue #83. * The Generator objects inferred with `infer_call_result` from functions have as parent the function from which they are returned. * Add brain tips for multiprocessing post Python 3.4+, where the module level functions are retrieved with getattr from a context object, leading to many no-member errors in Pylint. * Understand partially the 3-argument form of `type`. The only change is that astroid understands members passed in as dictionaries as the third argument. * .slots() will return an empty list for classes with empty slots. Previously it returned None, which is the same value for classes without slots at all. This was changed in order to better reflect what's actually happening. * Improve the inference of Getattr nodes when dealing with abstract properties from the abc module. In astroid.bases.Instance._wrap_attr we had a detection code for properties, which basically inferred whatever a property returned, passing the results up the stack, to the igetattr() method. It handled only the builtin property but the new patch also handles a couple of other properties, such as abc.abstractproperty. * UnboundMethod.getattr calls the getattr of its _proxied object and doesn't call super(...) anymore. It previously crashed, since the first ancestor in its mro was bases.Proxy and bases.Proxy doesn't implement the .getattr method. Closes issue #91. * Don't hard fail when calling .mro() on a class which has combined both newstyle and old style classes. The class in question is actually newstyle (and the __mro__ can be retrieved using Python). .mro() fallbacks to using .ancestors() in that case. * Class.local_attr and Class.local_attr_ancestors uses internally a mro lookup, using .mro() method, if they can. That means for newstyle classes, when trying to lookup a member using one of these functions, the first one according to the mro will be returned. This reflects nicely the reality, but it can have as a drawback the fact that it is a behaviour change (the previous behaviour was incorrect though). Also, having bases which can return multiple values when inferred will not work with the new approach, because .mro() only retrieves the first value inferred from a base. * Expose an implicit_metaclass() method in Class. This will return a builtins.type instance for newstyle classes. * Add two new exceptions for handling MRO error cases. DuplicateBasesError is emitted when duplicate bases are found in a class, InconsistentMroError is raised when the method resolution is determined to be inconsistent. They share a common class, MroError, which is a subclass of ResolveError, meaning that this change is backwards compatible. * Classes aren't marked as interfaces anymore, in the `type` attribute. * Class.has_dynamic_getattr doesn't return True for special methods which aren't implemented in pure Python, as it is the case for extension modules. Since most likely the methods were coming from a live object, this implies that all of them will have __getattr__ and __getattribute__ present and it is wrong to consider that those methods were actually implemented. * Add basic support for understanding context managers. Currently, there's no way to understand whatever __enter__ returns in a context manager and what it is binded using the ``as`` keyword. With these changes, we can understand ``bar`` in ``with foo() as bar``, which will be the result of __enter__. * Add a new type of node, called *inference objects*. Inference objects are similar with AST nodes, but they can be obtained only after inference, so they can't be found inside the original AST tree. Their purpose is to handle at astroid level some operations which can't be handled when using brain transforms. For instance, the first object added is FrozenSet, which can be manipulated at astroid's level (inferred, itered etc). Code such as this 'frozenset((1,2))' will not return an Instance of frozenset, without having access to its content, but a new objects.FrozenSet, which can be used just as a nodes.Set. * Add a new *inference object* called Super, which also adds support for understanding super calls. astroid understands the zero-argument form of super, specific to Python 3, where the interpreter fills itself the arguments of the call. Also, we are understanding the 2-argument form of super, both for bounded lookups (super(X, instance)) as well as for unbounded lookups (super(X, Y)), having as well support for validating that the object-or-type is a subtype of the first argument. The unbounded form of super (one argument) is not understood, since it's useless in practice and should be removed from Python's specification. Closes issue #89. * Add inference support for getattr builtin. Now getattr builtins are properly understood. Closes issue #103. * Add inference support for hasattr builtin. Closes issue #102. * Add 'assert_equals' method in nose.tools's brain plugin. * Don't leak StopIteration when inferring invalid UnaryOps (+[], +None etc.). * Improve the inference of UnaryOperands. When inferring unary operands, astroid looks up the return value of __pos__, __neg__ and __invert__ to determine the inferred value of ``~node``, ``+node`` or ``-node``. * Improve the inference of six.moves, especially when using `from ... import ...` syntax. Also, we added a new fail import hook for six.moves, which fixes the import-error false positive from pylint. Closes issue #107. * Make the first steps towards detecting type errors for unary and binary operations. In exceptions, one object was added for holding information about a possible UnaryOp TypeError, object called `UnaryOperationError`. Even though the name suggests it's an exception, it's actually not one. When inferring UnaryOps, we use this special object to mark a possible TypeError, object which can be interpreted by pylint in order to emit a new warning. We are also exposing a new method for UnaryOps, called `type_errors`, which returns a list of UnaryOperationsError. * A new method was added to the AST nodes, 'bool_value'. It is used to deduce the value of a node when used in a boolean context, which is useful for both inference, as well as for data flow analysis, where we are interested in what branches will be followed when the program will be executed. `bool_value` returns True, False or YES, if the node's boolean value can't be deduced. The method is used when inferring the unary operand `not`. Thus, `not something` will result in calling `something.bool_value` and negating the result, if it is a boolean. * Add inference support for boolean operations (`and` and `not`). * Add inference support for the builtin `callable`. * astroid.inspector was moved to pylint.pyreverse, since it is the only known client of this module. No other change was made to the exported API. * astroid.utils.ASTWalker and astroid.utils.LocalsVisitor were moved to pylint.pyreverse.utils. * Add inference support for the builtin `bool`. * Add `igetattr` method to scoped_nodes.Function. * Add support for Python 3.5's MatMul operation: see PEP 465 for more details. * NotImplemented is detected properly now as being part of the builtins module. Previously trying to infer the Name(NotImplemented) returned an YES object. * Add astroid.helpers, a module of various useful utilities which don't belong yet into other components. Added *object_type*, a function which can be used to obtain the type of almost any astroid object, similar to how the builtin *type* works. * Understand the one-argument form of the builtin *type*. This uses the recently added *astroid.helpers.object_type* in order to retrieve the Python type of the first argument of the call. * Add helpers.is_supertype and helpers.is_subtype, two functions for checking if an object is a super/sub type of another. * Improve the inference of binary arithmetic operations (normal and augmented). * Add support for retrieving TypeErrors for binary arithmetic operations. The change is similar to what was added for UnaryOps: a new method called *type_errors* for both AugAssign and BinOp, which can be used to retrieve type errors occurred during inference. Also, a new exception object was added, BinaryOperationError. * Lambdas found at class level, which have a `self` argument, are considered BoundMethods when accessing them from instances of their class. * Add support for multiplication of tuples and lists with instances which provides an __index__ returning-int method. * Add support for indexing containers with instances which provides an __index__ returning-int method. * Star unpacking in assignments returns properly a list, not the individual components. Closes issue #138. * Add annotation support for function.as_string(). Closes issue #37. * Add support for indexing bytes on Python 3. * Add support for inferring subscript on instances, which will use __getitem__. Closes issue #124. * Add support for pkg_resources.declare_namespaces. * Move pyreverse specific modules and functionality back into pyreverse (astroid.manager.Project, astroid.manager.Manager.project_from_files). * Understand metaclasses added with six.add_metaclass decorator. Closes issue #129. * Add a new convenience API, `astroid.parse`, which can be used to retrieve an astroid AST from a source code string, similar to how ast.parse can be used to obtain a Python AST from a source string. This is the test_utils.build_module promoted to a public API. * do_import_module passes the proper relative_only flag if the level is higher than 1. This has the side effect that using `from .something import something` in a non-package will finally result in an import-error on Pylint's side. Until now relative_only was ignored, leading to the import of `something`, if it was globally available. * Add get_wrapping_class API to scoped_nodes, which can be used to retrieve the class that wraps a node. * Class.getattr looks by default in the implicit and the explicit metaclasses, which is `type` on Python 3. Closes issue #114. * There's a new separate step for transforms. Until now, the transforms were applied at the same time the tree was being built. This was problematic if the transform functions were using inference, since the inference was executed on a partially constructed tree, which led to failures when post-building information was needed (such as setting the _from_names for the From imports). Now there's a separate step for transforms, which are applied using transform.TransformVisitor. There's a couple of other related changes: * astroid.parse and AstroidBuilder gained a new parameter `apply_transforms`, which is a boolean flag, which will control if the transforms are applied. We do this because there are uses when the vanilla tree is wanted, without any implicit modification. * the transforms are also applied for builtin modules, as a side effect of the fact that transform visiting was moved in AstroidBuilder._post_build from AstroidBuilder._data_build. Closes issue #116. * Class._explicit_metaclass is now a public API, in the form of Class.declared_metaclass. Class.mro remains the de facto method for retrieving the metaclass of a class, which will also do an evaluation of what declared_metaclass returns. * Understand slices of tuples, lists, strings and instances with support for slices. Closes issue #137. * Add proper grammatical names for `inferred` and `ass_type` methods, namely `inferred` and `assign_type`. The old methods will raise PendingDeprecationWarning, being slated for removal in astroid 2.0. * Add new AST names in order to be similar to the ones from the builtin ast module. With this change, Getattr becomes Attributes, Backquote becomes Repr, Class is ClassDef, Function is FunctionDef, Discard is Expr, CallFunc is Call, From is ImportFrom, AssName is AssignName and AssAttr is AssignAttr. The old names are maintained for backwards compatibility and they are interchangeable, in the sense that using Discard will use Expr under the hood and the implemented visit_discard in checkers will be called with Expr nodes instead. The AST does not contain the old nodes, only the interoperability between them hides this fact. Recommendations to move to the new nodes are emitted accordingly, the old names will be removed in astroid 2.0. * Add support for understanding class creation using `type.__new__(mcs, name, bases, attrs)`` Until now, inferring this kind of calls resulted in Instances, not in classes, since astroid didn't understand that the presence of the metaclass in the call leads to a class creating, not to an instance creation. * Understand the `slice` builtin. Closes issue #184. * Add brain tips for numpy.core, which should fix Pylint's #453. * Add a new node, DictUnpack, which is used to represent the unpacking of a dictionary into another dictionary, using PEP 448 specific syntax ({1:2, **{2:3}) This is a different approach than what the builtin ast module does, since it just uses None to represent this kind of operation, which seems conceptually wrong, due to the fact the AST contains non-AST nodes. Closes issue #206. What's New in astroid 1.3.6? ============================ Release Date: 2015-03-14 * Class.slots raises NotImplementedError for old style classes. Closes issue #67. * Add a new option to AstroidManager, `optimize_ast`, which controls if peephole optimizer should be enabled or not. This prevents a regression, where the visit_binop method wasn't called anymore with astroid 1.3.5, due to the differences in the resulting AST. Closes issue #82. What's New in astroid 1.3.5? ============================ Release Date: 2015-03-11 * Add the ability to optimize small ast subtrees, with the first use in the optimization of multiple BinOp nodes. This removes recursivity in the rebuilder when dealing with a lot of small strings joined by the addition operator. Closes issue #59. * Obtain the methods for the nose brain tip through an unittest.TestCase instance. Closes Pylint issue #457. * Fix a crash which occurred when a class was the ancestor of itself. Closes issue #78. * Improve the scope_lookup method for Classes regarding qualified objects, with an attribute name exactly as one provided in the class itself. For example, a class containing an attribute 'first', which was also an import and which had, as a base, a qualified name or a Gettattr node, in the form 'module.first', then Pylint would have inferred the `first` name as the function from the Class, not the import. Closes Pylint issue #466. * Implement the assigned_stmts operation for Starred nodes, which was omitted when support for Python 3 was added in astroid. Closes issue #36. What's New in astroid 1.3.4? ============================ Release Date: 2015-01-17 * Get the first element from the method list when obtaining the functions from nose.tools.trivial. Closes Pylint issue #448. What's New in astroid 1.3.3? ============================ Release Date: 2015-01-16 * Restore file_stream to a property, but deprecate it in favour of the newly added method Module.stream. By using a method instead of a property, it will be easier to properly close the file right after it is used, which will ensure that no file descriptors are leaked. Until now, due to the fact that a module was cached, it was not possible to close the file_stream anywhere. file_stream will start emitting PendingDeprecationWarnings in astroid 1.4, DeprecationWarnings in astroid 1.5 and it will be finally removed in astroid 1.6. * Add inference tips for 'tuple', 'list', 'dict' and 'set' builtins. * Add brain definition for most string and unicode methods * Changed the API for Class.slots. It returns None when the class doesn't define any slots. Previously, for both the cases where the class didn't have slots defined and when it had an empty list of slots, Class.slots returned an empty list. * Add a new method to Class nodes, 'mro', for obtaining the the method resolution order of the class. * Add brain tips for six.moves. Closes issue #63. * Improve the detection for functions decorated with decorators which returns static or class methods. * .slots() can contain unicode strings on Python 2. * Add inference tips for nose.tools. What's New in astroid 1.3.2? ============================ Release Date: 2014-11-22 * Fixed a crash with invalid subscript index. * Implement proper base class semantics for Python 3, where every class derives from object. * Allow more fine-grained control over C extension loading in the manager. What's New in astroid 1.3.1? ============================ Release Date: 2014-11-21 * Fixed a crash issue with the pytest brain module. What's New in astroid 1.3.0? ============================ Release Date: 2014-11-20 * Fix a maximum recursion error occurred during the inference, where statements with the same name weren't filtered properly. Closes pylint issue #295. * Check that EmptyNode has an underlying object in EmptyNode.has_underlying_object. * Simplify the understanding of enum members. * Fix an infinite loop with decorator call chain inference, where the decorator returns itself. Closes issue #50. * Various speed improvements. Patch by Alex Munroe. * Add pytest brain plugin. Patch by Robbie Coomber. * Support for Python versions < 2.7 has been dropped, and the source has been made compatible with Python 2 and 3. Running 2to3 on installation for Python 3 is not needed anymore. * astroid now depends on six. * modutils._module_file opens __init__.py in binary mode. Closes issues #51 and #13. * Only C extensions from trusted sources (the standard library) are loaded into the examining Python process to build an AST from the live module. * Path names on case-insensitive filesystems are now properly handled. This fixes the stdlib detection code on Windows. * Metaclass-generating functions like six.with_metaclass are now supported via some explicit detection code. * astroid.register_module_extender has been added to generalize the support for module extenders as used by many brain plugins. * brain plugins can now register hooks to handle failed imports, as done by the gobject-introspection plugin. * The modules have been moved to a separate package directory, `setup.py develop` now works correctly. What's New in astroid 1.2.1? ============================ Release Date: 2014-08-24 * Fix a crash occurred when inferring decorator call chain. Closes issue #42. * Set the parent of vararg and kwarg nodes when inferring them. Closes issue #43. * namedtuple inference knows about '_fields' attribute. * enum members knows about the methods from the enum class. * Name inference will lookup in the parent function of the current scope, in case searching in the current scope fails. * Inference of the functional form of the enums takes into consideration the various inputs that enums accepts. * The inference engine handles binary operations (add, mul etc.) between instances. * Fix an infinite loop in the inference, by returning a copy of instance attributes, when calling 'instance_attr'. Closes issue #34 (patch by Emile Anclin). * Don't crash when trying to infer unbound object.__new__ call. Closes issue #11. What's New in astroid 1.2.0? ============================ Release Date: 2014-07-25 * Function nodes can detect decorator call chain and see if they are decorated with builtin descriptors (`classmethod` and `staticmethod`). * infer_call_result called on a subtype of the builtin type will now return a new `Class` rather than an `Instance`. * `Class.metaclass()` now handles module-level __metaclass__ declaration on python 2, and no longer looks at the __metaclass__ class attribute on python 3. * Function nodes can detect if they are decorated with subclasses of builtin descriptors when determining their type (`classmethod` and `staticmethod`). * Add `slots` method to `Class` nodes, for retrieving the list of valid slots it defines. * Expose function annotation to astroid: `Arguments` node exposes 'varargannotation', 'kwargannotation' and 'annotations' attributes, while `Function` node has the 'returns' attribute. * Backported most of the logilab.common.modutils module there, as most things there are for pylint/astroid only and we want to be able to fix them without requiring a new logilab.common release * Fix names grabbed using wildcard import in "absolute import mode" (ie with absolute_import activated from the __future__ or with python 3). Fix pylint issue #58. * Add support in pylint-brain for understanding enum classes. What's New in astroid 1.1.1? ============================ Release Date: 2014-04-30 * `Class.metaclass()` looks in ancestors when the current class does not define explicitly a metaclass. * Do not cache modules if a module with the same qname is already known, and only return cached modules if both name and filepath match. Fixes pylint Bitbucket issue #136. What's New in astroid 1.1.0? ============================ Release Date: 2014-04-18 * All class nodes are marked as new style classes for Py3k. * Add a `metaclass` function to `Class` nodes to retrieve their metaclass. * Add a new YieldFrom node. * Add support for inferring arguments to namedtuple invocations. * Make sure that objects returned for namedtuple inference have parents. * Don't crash when inferring nodes from `with` clauses with multiple context managers. Closes #18. * Don't crash when a class has some __call__ method that is not inferable. Closes #17. * Unwrap instances found in `.ancestors()`, by using their _proxied class.
