Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger(a)users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Perhaps the cheatsheet can be transferred to a wiki page and we can put out a comp.lang.python call for updates. Also, +1 on the summer of code idea. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4819> _______________________________________

[issue10906] wsgiref should mention that CGI scripts usually expect HTTPS variable to be set to 'on'
by anatoly techtonik 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

New submission from anatoly techtonik <techtonik(a)gmail.com>: http://docs.python.org/library/wsgiref.html#wsgiref.util.guess_scheme The documentation says servers typically set HTTPS variable to a value of “1” or “yes”, when a request is received via SSL, but CGI tutorials, IIS and Apache set this to “on”. Misleading documentation may be the reason of the bug with mod_wsgi that changes Apache's variable from “on” to “1” - https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50581 The documentation should at least stress that “on” is the mainstream value for this variable. It will help to mention at least one popular server that returns “1”. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 126263 nosy: docs@python, techtonik priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: wsgiref should mention that CGI scripts usually expect HTTPS variable to be set to 'on' versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10906> _______________________________________

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger(a)users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Past experience has shown that a cheatsheet in the main repository gets neglected. How about we open it up via a wiki or somesuch so that the community if free to update it? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4819> _______________________________________

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti(a)gmail.com> added the comment: I agree that it would be nice to have a cheatsheet somewhere, possibly in the official doc and not as a plain txt file in Misc/. FWIW another cheatsheet updated to 2.6 can be found here: http://rgruet.free.fr/PQR26/PQR2.6.html ---------- keywords: +gsoc nosy: +ezio.melotti type: -> feature request _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4819> _______________________________________

Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal(a)egenix.com> added the comment: Updating the cheat sheet would be a great summer of code like project. We are considering using the cheat sheet as basis for a flyer in the PSF marketing material project. Please add it back and add a note to it, that it currently is missing a few language features (e.g. add Alexanders list to it). Thanks. ---------- status: pending -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4819> _______________________________________

Stupidity

Please disregard my previous dog I have been having a hassel with Imaging in 3, but now have found a working installation of PIL, and now have to sort out Unicode provisions so I have settled in to read your python-3.2rc1-docs-html/howto/unicode.html, incorrectly as it would seem. Regards k. -- simplicity is the touchstone of excellence
