[issue9370] Add reader redirect from test package docs to unittest module
by Nick Coghlan Jan. 1, 2011

Jan. 1, 2011

New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan(a)gmail.com>: Brett updated the docs for the test package to (correctly) point out that it is our internal testing package and isn't subject to the same stringent backwards compatibility rules as the rest of the standard library. A "see also" link pointing readers that have landed there over to the unittest module for their testing infrastructure needs would be a friendly thing to include. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: … [View More]

[issue8851] pkgutil document needs more markups
by MATSUI Tetsushi Dec. 15, 2010

Dec. 15, 2010

New submission from MATSUI Tetsushi <mft(a)users.sourceforge.net>: The library reference of pkgutil is only sparsely marked up. The attached patch is against 2.6 version, because I'm currently working with 2.6. Since a part of markups (namely :pep:'s) has already been done for 3.2 version, the patch cannot be applied directly to that version, and I haven't checked the versions in between. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: pkgutil.diff keywords: patch … [View More]

[issue8645] PyUnicode_AsEncodedObject is undocumented
by Daniel Stutzbach Nov. 20, 2010

Nov. 20, 2010

New submission from Daniel Stutzbach <daniel(a)stutzbachenterprises.com>: PyUnicode_AsEncodedObject is undocumented. It has the same signature as PyUnicode_AsEncodedString, although they do slightly different things based on a brief source code inspection (I'm not clear on what that difference is though). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 105203 nosy: docs@python, stutzbach priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: … [View More]

by Daniel Stutzbach Nov. 16, 2010

Hi, HERE It seems __setstate__ requires an argument, like in the examples, but the method doc do not mention it at all. Antoine.

[issue9237] Add sys.call_tracing to on-line sys module documentation
by rocky bernstein Oct. 17, 2010

Oct. 17, 2010

New submission from rocky bernstein <rocky(a)gnu.org>: sys.call_tracing doesn't appear in Python documents and I think it should. For a start, one could use the docstring from sysmodule.c: call_tracing(func, args) -> object Call func(*args), while tracing is enabled. The tracing state is saved, and restored afterwards. This is intended to be called from a debugger from a checkpoint, to recursively debug some other code. Thanks. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: … [View More]
