[issue11305] TextIOWrapper.readline and str.splitlines have different behavior
by R. David Murray Feb. 24, 2011

Feb. 24, 2011

R. David Murray <rdmurray(a)bitdance.com> added the comment: "newline controls how universal newlines works (it only applies to text mode). It can be None, '', '\n', '\r', and '\r\n'..." Whereas splitlines says: "Return a list of the lines in the string, breaking at line boundaries." So if we are fixing docs, we need to add that "line boundaries" are based on the relevant unicode properties (see issue 7643). And, indeed, Antoine has already pronounced on this in issue 6664. Since this has come up more than once, adding a note that they are not recognized by design in the io module to the io docs might be a good idea. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, pitrou stage: -> needs patch type: -> behavior versions: +Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11305> _______________________________________

Were it says "truncates" should say "rounds". Because: pi truncated to 3 decimal positions is 3.141 and pi rounded to 3 decimal positions is 3.142. Greetings Alexis López Zubieta

Feb. 23, 2011

calling the tkinter messagebox in a shellwindow works fine but when I run the application as a .pyw application the application crashes. Does anyone has a suggestion what is going wrong here? The code to test is (file test.pyw): from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk root = Tk() messagebox.showwarning(title='title', message='message') root.mainloop() I'am using python 3.1.1 on windows xp Kind regards, T.
