by Antoine Pitrou 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou(a)free.fr> added the comment: I'm not even sure what PyEval_AcquireLock() and PyEval_ReleaseLock() are good for.

[issue1720250] PyGILState_Ensure does not acquires GIL
by Amaury Forgeot d'Arc 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa(a)gmail.com> added the comment: This is still the case: the documentation should mention that PyEval_ReleaseLock() is not the correct function to release "the GIL", both the interpreter lock *and* the current thread state have to be released. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: -Interpreter Core nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc, docs@python _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1720250> _______________________________________

[issue1349732] urllib.urlencode provides two features in one param
by Terry J. Reedy 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy(a)udel.edu> added the comment: "put something somewhere" will not get action. Please suggest specific wording and a specific place to put it and mark it TEXT or PATCH or something so a doc person can find it. I am assuming that this does not apply to 3.x. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl -> docs@python nosy: +docs@python, tjreedy versions: +Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1349732> _______________________________________
