Python tutorial for version 2.5.4
by Jacques Verron Nov. 8, 2010

Nov. 8, 2010

Dear sir/madam, I am searching for the Python tutorial in a format that is easily printable. I use Python with Arcgis 9.3.1 and the last version of Python that is certified to work with this software is Python 2.5.4 with Numpy 1.0.3. So far I have not seen the python tutorial for the 2.5.4 version in a printable format (pdf). Would you as kind as to send me the tutorial in pdf or to point me out where can I find it?. Looking forward to hearing from you, Jacques

[issue10226] urlparse example is wrong
by Alexander Belopolsky Nov. 7, 2010

Nov. 7, 2010

New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky(a)users.sourceforge.net>: The following example in Doc/library/urlparse.rst is wrong >>> urlparse('www.cwi.nl:80/%7Eguido/Python.html') ParseResult(scheme='', netloc='', path='www.cwi.nl:80/%7Eguido/Python.html', params='', query='', fragment='') In the actual output, scheme='www.cwi.nl'.

Nov. 7, 2010

New submission from Malte Helmert <helmert(a)informatik.uni-freiburg.de>: Section "3.1.2. Strings" says "*Once again*, the print() function produces the more readable output.", but as far as I can see (or grep), this is the first time that this aspect of print() is mentioned. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 120362 nosy: docs@python, maltehelmert priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: small inconsistency in tutorial versions: Python 3.2 … [View More]

Glossary entry for __future__ module contradicts module's documentation
by Alexander Belopolsky Nov. 7, 2010

Nov. 7, 2010

Compare: __future__: A *pseudo-module* which programmers can use to enable new language features which are not compatible with the current interpreter. (Glossary) and __future__ is a *real module*, and serves three purposes: ... (__future__ documentation) I suggest not to use pseudo/real module terminology and have two definitions for __future__ in glossary: one as a name of a module and the other as a keyword in the future statement.

[issue10145] (4.2).is_integer() is undocumented.
by Ralph Corderoy Nov. 7, 2010

Nov. 7, 2010

New submission from Ralph Corderoy <ralph-pythonbugs(a)inputplus.co.uk>: floats now have an is_integer() method. I think it was added in 2.6 around the same time as as_integer_ratio(). It has a docstring but it isn't mentioned in the documentation. I only idled across it when reading the C source. I'd expect to find it, for example, at http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=as_integer_ratio#add… http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=… [View More]

[issue10318] "make altinstall" installs many files with incorrect shebangs
by Ned Deily Nov. 5, 2010

Nov. 5, 2010

Ned Deily <nad(a)acm.org> added the comment: I agree with Eric's comment about why have shebang lines at all for files in the standard library. There isn't any use case or recommendation for ever putting /path/to/lib/pythonx.x or its subdirectories directly on a shell search path is there? WRT the three files found in the Mac directory, I think all of these should be left alone for right now. Specifically: Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py is the script used to build OS X … [View More]
