Python 2.6.5 threading.Event.wait()
by Andrew Trusty May 21, 2010

May 21, 2010

Just spent a couple hours debugging some code because the threading.Event.wait() documentation said it returned the internal flag when it always returns None. I just noticed that there is an addendum that says this was behavior that was changed in 2.7 but since these are the 2.6.5 docs it would be a lot less confusing if it first said that it always returns None and then said that in 2.7 it will return the internal flag. http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html#threading.Event.wait Andrew

May 21, 2010

New submission from Nathan Phillip Brink <ohnobinki(a)ohnopublishing.net>: http://docs.python.org/py3k/faq/programming.html#what-does-unicodeerror-asc… When I try to use unicode() from within python3, the call fails. I would actually expect that the FAQ should contain more information concerning the merging of the unicode and str classes.
