Error in logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler for 2.7
by Yoann Roman Nov. 5, 2011

Nov. 5, 2011

The docs for logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler in Python 2.7 say that the "utc" keyword argument was added in 2.7: http://docs.python.org/library/logging.handlers.html#timedrotatingfilehandl… This isn't correct, however, since it was available as of 2.6 (I verified the source as well): http://docs.python.org/release/2.6/library/logging.html#timedrotatingfileha… It did appear to change to True/False in 2.7 instead of 0/1 in 2.6. I'd recommend changing it to indicate this or removing … [View More]

Hello, http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html#instance-objects I think the "counter" attribute is mentioned for the first time in the example code, not "in Instance of MyClass created above", i.e. class MyClass does not contain "counter" attribute. "x.counter = 1 while x.counter < 10: x.counter = x.counter * 2 print x.counter del x.counter" Best Regards, Jussi Peltonen

by Petri Lehtinen Nov. 5, 2011

Nov. 5, 2011

Petri Lehtinen <petri(a)digip.org> added the comment: I decided to restructure the documentation of setlocale() a bit and I think it's better now overall. It includes Terry's suggestions.

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy(a)udel.edu> added the comment: Yes. I think in locale.rst (assuming that is the name) ''' exception locale.Error Exception raised when setlocale() fails. locale.setlocale(category, locale=None) If *locale* is specified, it may be a string, a tuple of the form (language code, encoding), or None. If it is a tuple, it is converted to a string using the locale aliasing engine. ''' should be changed to ''' exception locale.Error Exception raised when the locale … [View More]
