Mako-1.2.0 (Python module)

[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

changed

• Corrected “universal wheel” directive in setup.cfg so that building a wheel does not target Python 2.

• The bytestring_passthrough template argument is removed, as this flag only applied to Python 2.

• With the removal of Python 2’s cStringIO, Mako now uses its own internal FastEncodingBuffer exclusively.

• Removed disable_unicode flag, that’s no longer used in Python 3.

• Refactored test utilities into mako.testing module. Removed unittest.TestCase dependency in favor of pytest.

• Replaced the use of pkg_resources with the importlib library. For Python < 3.8 the library importlib_metadata is used.

• Removed support for Python 2 and Python 3.6. Mako now requires Python >= 3.7.

bug

• Mako now performs exception chaining using raise from, correctly identifying underlying exception conditions when it raises its own exceptions.
