[issue11090] Doc errors for unittest in Python 3.1
by Éric Araujo Feb. 6, 2011

Feb. 6, 2011

Éric Araujo <merwok(a)netwok.org> added the comment: It looks like the doc snippets are actually new in 3.1, so we should not remove them but just fix the versionadded. The change I wrongly added is the part about command-line use. That can go. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11090> _______________________________________

by Éric Araujo Feb. 6, 2011

Feb. 6, 2011

Éric Araujo <merwok(a)netwok.org> added the comment: Hm, my patch removes too much. The part that was mistakenly added by me is the command-line interface doc, but I also removed other parts for things noted with versionadded: 3.2. Those indications are wrong: They were noted added in 2.7 before r79167 (Ezio). ---------- nosy: +ezio.melotti _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11090> _______________________________________

[issue10891] Tweak sorting howto to eliminate redundancy
by Éric Araujo Feb. 6, 2011

Feb. 6, 2011

New submission from Éric Araujo <merwok(a)netwok.org>: When reading over the sorting howto, I noticed redundancy of the form “the list.sort() method of a list”. Raymond, if you approve the attached patch, please assign back to me. There were no warnings during doc build and no link was broken. Note that :meth:`list.sort` (or :meth:`~list.sort`) does not trigger a link to the doc of the method, since sort is not marked up with a method directive but listed in a table alongside other … [View More]

[issue11125] csv documentation should not use open() without close()
by Eric Smith Feb. 4, 2011

Feb. 4, 2011

New submission from Eric Smith <eric(a)trueblade.com>: Many places open() is shown as a parameter to a csv method, but close() can't be called. This is not a practice we should be advocating. Better would be to show a 'with' statement, or at least a note explaining this isn't an ideal usage. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 127954 nosy: docs@python, eric.smith priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: csv documentation … [View More]

[issue7678] subprocess.Popen pipeline example code in the documentation is lacking
by Ross Lagerwall Feb. 3, 2011

Feb. 3, 2011

Ross Lagerwall <rosslagerwall(a)gmail.com> added the comment: The docs should be updated. This has been noted in msg54949 and http://www.enricozini.org/2009/debian/python-pipes/ Perhaps this example will make it clear: import subprocess p1 = subprocess.Popen(["yes"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE) p2 = subprocess.Popen(["head"], stdin=p1.stdout, stdout=subprocess.PIPE) #p1.stdout.close() p1.wait() This example hangs. "yes" writes to "head" and head reads the first 10 lines and then exits. … [View More]
