Example values for dict()
by Nate Vack Oct. 17, 2010

Oct. 17, 2010

Hi all, The docs on creating new dicts found here: http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#dict just warped my mind a little bit. They all create the dict {'one': 2, 'two', 3} -- creating {'one': 1, 'two': 2} would make a little more sense. Cheers, -Nate

Algorithm error
by eric.takada＠embraer.com.br Oct. 17, 2010

Oct. 17, 2010

Hi, in section "4.4 break and continue Statements, and else Clauses on Loops" there is an error in the example code. The "range" in "for x in range(2, n): " shall be changed to "range(1,n):" in order to produce the output described in the example, since "range[2,2]" produces a null result. Regards, Eric Takada This message is intended solely for the use of its addressee and may contain privileged or confidential information.

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]

[issue9204] The documentation of PyType_Type in py3k mentions types.TypeType
by Daniel Urban Oct. 17, 2010

Oct. 17, 2010

New submission from Daniel Urban <urban.dani+py(a)gmail.com>: The documentation of PyType_Type (http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/c-api/type.html#PyType_Type) is this: "This is the type object for type objects; it is the same object as type and types.TypeType in the Python layer." But in py3k there is no types.TypeType object. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 109560 nosy: docs@python, durban priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: The … [View More]

[issue9195] Link in docs from "String Formatting Operations" to "Template Strings"
by Craig McQueen Oct. 17, 2010

Oct. 17, 2010

New submission from Craig McQueen <python(a)craig.mcqueen.id.au>: I stumbled across "Template Strings" of PEP 292 by accident recently. I'd never heard of it before. I'm familiar with the "string interpolation" aka "String Formatting Operations", and I know to find that in the docs under "Standard Types", i.e. http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/stdtypes.html#old-string-formatting-ope… It would be good for that … [View More]

[issue9138] Tutorial: classes intro paragraph icky
by Aahz Oct. 17, 2010

Oct. 17, 2010

New submission from Aahz <aahz(a)pythoncraft.com>: http://docs.python.org/dev/tutorial/classes.html Chapter 9 of the Tutorial contains this intro paragraph: Python's class mechanism adds classes to the language with a minimum of new syntax and semantics. It is a mixture of the class mechanisms found in C++ and Modula-3. As is true for modules, classes in Python do not put an absolute barrier between definition and user, but rather rely on the politeness of the user … [View More]
