[issue10410] Is iterable a container type?
by INADA Naoki Nov. 14, 2010

Nov. 14, 2010

New submission from INADA Naoki <songofacandy(a)gmail.com>: In http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.6/glossary.html, "iterable" is described as "A container object capable of returning its members one at a time." Is it correct? Is stream object like file a container type? Container ABC requires only "__contains__" abstract method. I think file is iterable but is not container. Likewise, "and objects of any classes you define with an __iter__() or __getitem__() method." is wrong because __getitem__ method is not relate to iterable. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 121152 nosy: docs@python, naoki priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Is iterable a container type? versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10410> _______________________________________

[issue10149] Data truncation in expat parser
by Maciek J Nov. 13, 2010

Nov. 13, 2010

Maciek J <egil(a)wp.pl> added the comment: Couldn't compile to html at the moment, but it should be fine anyway. Note that I didn't wanted to start a new paragraph (I'm guessing you meant the sentence at line 13 of the patch) as there was no new paragraph in a previous version. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file19599/pyexpat.rst.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10149> _______________________________________

[issue10373] Setup Script example incorrect
by Kirk Clendinning Nov. 12, 2010

Nov. 12, 2010

New submission from Kirk Clendinning <kirk(a)heliospectra.se>: In 2.7. Installing Additional Files the example shows: setup(..., data_files=[('bitmaps', ['bm/b1.gif', 'bm/b2.gif']), ('config', ['cfg/data.cfg']), ('/etc/init.d', ['init-script'])] ) However, running easy_install with setuptools results in a error: Setup script exited with error: SandboxViolation: open('/etc/init.d/init-script', 'wb') {} Perhaps the documentation should be changed and more explanation added. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 120863 nosy: docs@python, lensart priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Setup Script example incorrect type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10373> _______________________________________

New submission from Hirokazu Yamamoto <ocean-city(a)m2.ccsnet.ne.jp>: Please see http://docs.python.org/genindex-T.html Thread (class in threading), [1] This two links point to same place.
