[issue13219] re module doc has minor inaccuracy in character sets
by becky lewis 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

New submission from becky lewis <bex.lewis(a)gmail.com>: The documentation for the re module (specifically the section for []) states that: "If you want to include a ']' or a '-' inside a set, precede it with a backslash, or place it as the first character." However, after finding a typo in a regex I wrote it turns out to be false. Using the following regex finds a match: >>> regex = re.compile(r'[123ab-f-]+') >>> regex.match('-') <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x8dd1b10> I am not sure if this is an issue with the documentation or if the re module itself should not allow this behaviour. It would be nice if the documentation warned that hyphens (and other 'special' characters such as [) that are not escaped may still be matched, even though they are not the first character. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 145911 nosy: becky.lewis, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: re module doc has minor inaccuracy in character sets versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13219> _______________________________________

[issue12185] Decimal documentation lists "first" and "second" arguments, should be "self" and "other"
by Eric V. Smith 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

New submission from Eric V. Smith <eric(a)trueblade.com>: http://docs.python.org/library/decimal.html In 9.4.2, "Decimal objects", some of the methods mention the first and second parameters, when really it should be "self" and the argument, usually named "other" and sometimes something more specific. These include: compare_total copy_sign next_toward quantize (argument is exp) rotate scaleb shift It looks this is left over from where the same-named functions are described in the "Context objects" section. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 136947 nosy: docs@python, eric.smith priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Decimal documentation lists "first" and "second" arguments, should be "self" and "other" versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12185> _______________________________________

[issue13144] Global Module Index link in the offline documentation is incorrect
by Graeme Glass 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

New submission from Graeme Glass <graemeglass(a)gmail.com>: On my machine (Ubuntu 11.04) the link to "Python Module Index" from the index page is incorrect in the "Indices and tables" section (it links to modindex.html instead of py-modindex.html). It links to the correct place in the navigation bar at the top right of the page. Navigation (Correct): <li class="right" > <a href="py-modindex.html" title="Python Module Index">modules</a> |</li> In the body (Incorrect): Indices and tables: ... <a class="biglink" href="modindex.html">Global Module Index</a><br/ ... This seems to affect python2.6 and python2.7 documentation. (Indices and tables) link for these files: file:///usr/share/doc/python2.6/html/index.html file:///usr/share/doc/python2.6-doc/html/index.html Link to: file:///usr/share/doc/python2.6/html/modindex.html file:///usr/share/doc/python2.6-doc/html/modindex.html When they should link to: file:///usr/share/doc/python2.6/html/py-modindex.html file:///usr/share/doc/python2.6-doc/html/py-modindex.html Likewise: file:///usr/share/doc/python2.7/html/index.html file:///usr/share/doc/python2.7-doc/html/index.html Link to: file:///usr/share/doc/python2.7/html/modindex.html file:///usr/share/doc/python2.7-doc/html/modindex.html When they should link to: file:///usr/share/doc/python2.7/html/py-modindex.html file:///usr/share/doc/python2.7-doc/html/py-modindex.html I searched the python bug tracker for a similar issue and could not find one. I do not know if this affects python3.x Documentation also as I do not have it installed so have not checked. I am not sure if this is an Ubuntu issue or Python Docs Issue. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 145295 nosy: docs@python, graemeglass priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Global Module Index link in the offline documentation is incorrect versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13144> _______________________________________

Fwd: Issue with the link to python modules documentation
by Michael Foord 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hey folks, The title of the "Global Module Index" for 3.2 documentation is "Python 3.1.3 documentation". http://docs.python.org/py3k/modindex.html See the report below (attached screenshot removed). All the best, Michael Foord -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Issue with the link to python modules documentation Date: Sun, 16 Oct 2011 22:44:52 +0200 From: Carl Chenet <chaica(a)ohmytux.com> Reply-To: chaica(a)ohmytux.com To: webmaster(a)python.org Hi, Browsing http://www.python.org/doc/ , I click on the link to Python 3.x Module Index linking to http://docs.python.org/3.2/modindex.html and I'm redirected to http://docs.python.org/py3k/modindex.html to the Python module list documentation but for the version 3.1.3. I'm using Chromium 12. I tried several times and cleared the cache before retrying but the issue remains. I'm joining a screenshot showing the finale page with the url http://docs.python.org/py3k/modindex.html which should be the Python Module list for current 3.x version, which is I guess 3.2. Bye, Carl Chenet

Jesse Noller <jnoller(a)gmail.com> added the comment: Antoine is correct, as he usually is. This is more of a documentation issue than bug. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13139> _______________________________________
