PythonNet v2.5.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-06-14 // almost 4 years ago

  • 🚀 > ⚠️ This release will be the last one supporting Python 2 and non-.NET-Standard builds.

    🐎 This version improves performance on benchmarks significantly compared to 2.3 and includes various additions and improvements to the library.

    ➕ Added

    • 🏗 Automatic NuGet package generation in appveyor and local builds
    • Function that sets Py_NoSiteFlag to 1.
    • 👌 Support for Jetson Nano.
    • Support for __len__ for .NET classes that implement ICollection
    • PyExport attribute to hide .NET types from Python
    • PythonException.Format method to format exceptions the same as
      traceback.format_exception
    • Runtime.None to be able to pass None as parameter into Python from .NET
    • PyObject.IsNone() to check if a Python object is None in .NET.
    • 👌 Support for Python 3.8
    • Codecs as the designated way to handle automatic conversions between
      .NET and Python types

    🔄 Changed

    • ➕ Added argument types information to "No method matches given arguments" message
    • 🚚 Moved wheel import in setup.py inside of a try/except to prevent pip collection failures
    • Removes PyLong_GetMax and PyClass_New when targetting Python3
    • 👌 Improved performance of calls from Python to C#
    • ➕ Added support for converting python iterators to C# arrays
    • 🔄 Changed usage of the obsolete function
      GetDelegateForFunctionPointer(IntPtr, Type) to
      GetDelegateForFunctionPointer<TDelegate>(IntPtr)
    • When calling C# from Python, enable passing argument of any type to a
      parameter of C# type object by wrapping it into PyObject instance.
      ([#881][i881])
    • ➕ Added support for kwarg parameters when calling .NET methods from Python
    • 🔄 Changed method for finding MSBuild using vswhere
    • Reworked Finalizer. Now objects drop into its queue upon finalization,
      which is periodically drained when new objects are created.
    • Marked Runtime.OperatingSystemName and Runtime.MachineName as
      Obsolete, should never have been public in the first place. They also
      don't necessarily return a result that matches the platform module's.
    • 📜 Unconditionally depend on pycparser for the interop module generation

    🛠 Fixed

    • 🛠 Fixed runtime that fails loading when using pythonnet in an environment
      together with Nuitka
    • 🛠 Fixes bug where delegates get casts (dotnetcore)
    • Determine size of interpreter longs at runtime
    • Handling exceptions ocurred in ModuleObject's getattribute
    • Fill __classcell__ correctly for Python subclasses of .NET types
    • 🛠 Fixed issue with params methods that are not passed an array.
    • 👉 Use UTF8 to encode strings passed to PyRun_String on Python 3
