[issue31042] Inconsistency in documentation of operator.index
by Joseph Fox-Rabinovitz Dec. 1, 2021

Dec. 1, 2021

Joseph Fox-Rabinovitz <jfoxrabinovitz(a)gmail.com> added the comment: I closed the issue (it's already been rejected), primarily based on > a.__index__ = <whatever> is an unauthorized use of a *reserved* word and the effect of such usage is not and need not be documented. > The entry for __*__ does include "*Any* use of __*__ names, in any context, that does not follow explicitly documented use, is subject to breakage without warning." To me, that says that the effect of the reserved-word assignment is undefined. It could be made to raise an exception. It's like filing a bug report for UB in C. ---------- stage: needs patch -> resolved status: pending -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31042> _______________________________________

[issue27779] Sync-up docstrings in C version of the the decimal module
by Raymond Hettinger Dec. 1, 2021

Dec. 1, 2021

Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger(a)gmail.com> added the comment: One way to do is to dynamically update the docstrings on import. Something like this: for name in dir(_decimal.Decimal): if name.startswith('_'): continue py_method = getattr(_decimal.Decimal, name) py_doc = py_method.__doc__ if py_doc is None: continue c_method = getattr(_pydecimal.Decimal, name, None) if c_method is None: continue c_doc = c_method.__doc__ if c_doc is None or len(c_doc) < len(py_doc): c_method.__doc__ = py_doc ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue27779> _______________________________________

[issue7951] Should str.format allow negative indexes when used for __getitem__ access?
by Eric V. Smith Dec. 1, 2021

Dec. 1, 2021

Eric V. Smith <eric(a)trueblade.com> added the comment: I'm closing this as "won't fix" for the negative indexing functionality. If someone wants to open an new documentation issue (and ideally provide a PR), that would be welcome. ---------- resolution: -> wont fix stage: needs patch -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue7951> _______________________________________
