[BUG] Code listing hide button in the tutorial has a typo in its tooltip.
by Shlomi Fish Dec. 4, 2011

Dec. 4, 2011

Dear sirs, Throughout the tutorial (on all pages, but including, say http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html ), the hide button for the interactive code excerpts (marked with a ">>>"), says this in the tooltip: «Hide the prompts and ouput» However, "ouput" should be "output". Please correct it on all pages of the tutorial. Regards, Shlomi Fish -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ Stop Using MSIE … [View More]

slight bug in the docs
by bill murphy Dec. 4, 2011

Dec. 4, 2011

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a version difference, or simply a bug in the docs. Here's what your docs say: (http://docs.python.org/release/2.3.5/tut/node5.html) >>> # Integer division returns the floor: ... 7/3 Here's what python on my machine says: C:\waggle\qa\server_auto>python Python 3.2.2 (default, Sep 4 2011, 09:51:08) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win 32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> 7/3 2.3333333333333335 … [View More]

[issue13513] IOBase docs incorrectly link to the GNU readline module
by Meador Inge Dec. 3, 2011

Dec. 3, 2011

New submission from Meador Inge <meadori(a)gmail.com>: The current IOBase documentation [1] reads: """ IOBase (and its subclasses) support the iterator protocol, meaning that an IOBase object can be iterated over yielding the lines in a stream. Lines are defined slightly differently depending on whether the stream is a binary stream (yielding bytes), or a text stream (yielding character strings). See readline() below. """ Currently the 'readline' link in the last sentence is linking to … [View More]

[issue12666] map semantic change not documented in What's New
by Jason R. Coombs Dec. 3, 2011

Dec. 3, 2011

New submission from Jason R. Coombs <jaraco(a)jaraco.com>: In `whatsnew/3.0.html`, there is little said about the map builtin: map() and filter() return iterators. If you really need a list, a quick fix is e.g. list(map(...)), but a better fix is often to use a list comprehension (especially when the original code uses lambda), or rewriting the code so it doesn’t need a list at all. Particularly tricky is map() invoked for the side effects of the function; the correct transformation is … [View More]

[issue13494] 'cast' any value to a Boolean?
by Mark Dickinson Dec. 2, 2011

Dec. 2, 2011

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm(a)gmail.com>: Docs nit: at http://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#boolean-values we have """ The built-in function bool() can be used to cast any value to a Boolean ... """ It's a little unusual to talk about casting in Python.
