.. _python_35:
Python 3.5
==========
Below is a list of finalised/accepted PEPs for Python 3.5 grouped into their impact to MicroPython.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
| **Extensions to the syntax:** | **Status** |
+--------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+---------------+
py/runtime: Allow multiple *args in a function call. This is a partial implementation of PEP 448 to allow unpacking multiple star args in a function or method call. This is implemented by changing the emitted bytecodes so that both positional args and star args are stored as positional args. A bitmap is added to indicate if an argument at a given position is a positional argument or a star arg. In the generated code, this new bitmap takes the place of the old star arg. It is stored as a small int, so this means only the first N arguments can be star args where N is the number of bits in a small int. The runtime is modified to interpret this new bytecode format while still trying to perform as few memory reallocations as possible. Signed-off-by: David Lechner <david@pybricks.com>

docs/differences/python_35: Mark PEP 486 as not applicable. This adds the "Not relevant" designation to PEP 486 since it has to do with the Python Launcher for Windows and not the Python language itself. Also fix a typo while we are touching this line.

| exception. | |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+

| plain *socket.send()* | |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
| The *socket.sendall()* method no longer resets the socket timeout every time bytes are received or sent. | |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
| The *SSLSocket.send()* method now raises either the *ssl.SSLWantReadError* or *ssl.SSLWantWriteError* | |
| exception on a non-blocking socket if the operation would block. Previously, it would return 0. | |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
| The *cert_time_to_seconds()* function now interprets the input time as UTC and not as local time, per RFC | |
| 5280. Additionally, the return value is always an int. | |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+

| by the client during the handshake. | |

| A new *set_coroutine_wrapper()* function allows setting a global hook that will be called whenever a | |
| coroutine object is created by an async def function. A corresponding *get_coroutine_wrapper()* can be | |
| used to obtain a currently set wrapper. | |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
| A new *is_finalizing()* function can be used to check if the Python interpreter is shutting down. | |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
| `time <https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.5.html#time>`_ |
