New submission from Hagen Fürstenau <hagen(a)zhuliguan.net>: The documentation of the functions PyDict_Items, PyDict_Keys and PyDict_Values is incorrect: They do return PyListObject, but in Python 3.x this is not the same as dict.items() etc. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 120328 nosy: docs@python, hagen priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Documentation of three PyDict_* functions versions: Python 3.1, Python 3.2 … [View More]

Windows executable script bug
by Henry Rodrick Nov. 5, 2010

Nov. 5, 2010

Hello! I found a little issue with making python scripts executable in Windows (as described here: http://docs.python.org/faq/windows#how-do-i-make-python-scripts-executable): @setlocal enableextensions & python -x %~f0 %* & goto :EOF This won't work well if the script resides in a directory named something with spaces. The fix is to add quotes around the script path: @setlocal enableextensions & python -x "%~f0" %* & goto :EOF Regards, Henry Rodrick

[issue7061] Improve 24.5. turtle doc
by Gregor Lingl Nov. 5, 2010

Nov. 5, 2010

Gregor Lingl <gregorlingl(a)users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: What do you mean with "similar approach"? Keep in mind, that functions derived form turtle methods, call methods for the class variable _pen of class Turtle. A new Turtle-object is bound to _pen, if it is not already present, whenever one of these functions is called, via _getpen() So perhaps _getpen() can do for you what you need? (A similar approach is used for screen-oriented functions with turtle._screen.) I'm … [View More]

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
by Ian Sweeney Nov. 5, 2010

Nov. 5, 2010

Hi, I've just installed Python v3.1.2 onto Windows Vista. I started IDLE and typed help() which suggested I look at http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ Section 2.1.2. Interactive Mode suggested the following code: the_world_is_flat = 1if the_world_is_flat: print "Be careful not to fall off!" The line print "Be careful not to fall off!" generates SyntaxError: invalid syntax The Python v3.1.2 documentation on Windows which was installed as a Windows help file gives a slightly different … [View More]
