by Sébastien Frigon Dec. 2, 2010

Dec. 2, 2010

On this page (about module dbm in Python 3.1): http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/dbm.html In this code sample: for k, v in db.iteritems(): iteritems is no longer supported in Python 3.1. This is documented here: http://docs.python.org/py3k/whatsnew/3.0.html "Also, the dict.iterkeys(), dict.iteritems() and dict.itervalues() methods are no longer supported." I suggest to change the following: Old: for k, v in db.iteritems(): New: for k, v in db.items(): I'm pretty new to Python so you … [View More]

[issue10607] Document of PyOS_(v)snprintf is wrong.
by INADA Naoki Dec. 2, 2010

Dec. 2, 2010

New submission from INADA Naoki <songofacandy(a)gmail.com>: http://docs.python.org/c-api/conversion.html#PyOS_vsnprintf "the buffer size needed to avoid truncation exceeds size by more than 512 bytes, Python aborts with a Py_FatalError."

global
by Scot Kelly Dec. 1, 2010

Dec. 1, 2010

Re: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/controlflow.html And http://docs.python.org/reference/simple_stmts.html#global 1. The documentation for the global statement would be improved if it also had the paragraph from the tutorial. 2. The tutorial paragraph does not address that all references to the variable name become local if an assignment occurs in a function. Consider: SomeVar = 12 def MyFunc() Print 'SomeVar', SomeVar SomeVar = 123 Print 'SomeVar', SomeVar An … [View More]

[issue5088] optparse: inconsistent default value for append actions
by Raymond Hettinger Nov. 30, 2010

Nov. 30, 2010

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger(a)users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Note, the :attr:`~Option.dest` variable is a list which includes default values if any are defined. Options on the command-line are appended to this list. Accordingly, the list may contain both the default value and the value passed on the command-line. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5088> _______________________________________

[issue5088] optparse: inconsistent default value for append actions
by Eli Bendersky Nov. 30, 2010

Nov. 30, 2010

Eli Bendersky <eliben(a)gmail.com> added the comment: Éric, also re your previous message, I personally would prefer seeing "contrary to what one can think" removed altogether. IMHO it's too chatty for an official document and doesn't really add new information over the sentence it follows. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5088> _______________________________________
