anatoly techtonik <techtonik(a)gmail.com> added the comment: Neal, why a piece from issue1635217#msg31028 doesn't qualify as an example? It seems that this issue may become obsolete with new packaging guide coming up. ---------- components: +Distutils, Distutils2 nosy: +docs@python versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.3 -Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1635217> _______________________________________

[issue8899] Add docstrings to time.struct_time
by Alexander Belopolsky June 5, 2010

June 5, 2010

New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky(a)users.sourceforge.net>: The time.struct_time class is missing class and field docstrings: >>> time.struct_time.__doc__ is None True >>> time.struct_time.tm_year.__doc__ is None True This is significant because it is not obvious that field values are different from those of C language struct tm fields with the same names. (While module level docstring describes the timetuple, it does not list the names of the … [View More]struct_time fields or mentions struct_time.) With the attached patch, >>> from time import * >>> localtime() time.struct_time(tm_year=2010, tm_mon=6, tm_mday=4, tm_hour=15, tm_min=27, tm_sec=15, tm_wday=4, tm_yday=155, tm_isdst=1) >>> help(_) Help on struct_time object: time.struct_time = class struct_time(__builtin__.object) | The time value as returned by gmtime(), localtime(), and strptime(), and accepted | by asctime(), mktime() and strftime(), may be considered as a sequence of 9 integers. | Note that several fields' values are not the same as those defined by the C language | standard for struct tm. For example, the value of tm_year is the actual year, not | year - 1900. See individual fields' descriptions for details. ... | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Data descriptors defined here: | | tm_hour | hours, range [0 - 23] | | tm_isdst | 1 if summer time is in effect, 0 if not, and -1 if cannot be determined | | tm_mday | day of month, range [1 - 31] | | tm_min | minutes, range [0 - 59] | | tm_mon | month of year, range [1 - 12] | | tm_sec | seconds, range [0 - 61]) | | tm_wday | day of week, range [0,6], Monday is 0 | | tm_yday | day of year, range [1,366] | | tm_year | year, for example, 1993 | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- assignee: belopolsky components: Documentation files: struct_time_doc.diff keywords: easy, patch messages: 107089 nosy: belopolsky, docs@python, mark.dickinson priority: normal severity: normal stage: commit review status: open title: Add docstrings to time.struct_time type: feature request versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17556/struct_time_doc.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8899> _______________________________________ [View Less]

[issue8895] newline vs. newlines in io module
by R. David Murray June 4, 2010

June 4, 2010

R. David Murray <rdmurray(a)bitdance.com> added the comment: This is off topic for this issue, but what you just reported makes no sense to me. TextIOWrapper calls the encoder corresponding to the specified encoding in its write method. That said, it is true that the IO docs are currently a class reference and not a user reference, and this should be fixed. There may even already be an open issue for this. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(… [View More]
