[issue11842] slice.indices with negative step and default stop
by Daniel Urban April 14, 2011

April 14, 2011

Daniel Urban <urban.dani+py(a)gmail.com> added the comment: I see. Thanks for the explanation. If indeed this is the expected behaviour (as it seems), then I suggest clarifying the documentation. I think it would be good to mention that the returned values are for range(), and not for creating another slice object. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation -Interpreter Core nosy: +docs@python _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)… [View More]

April 14, 2011

New submission from anatoly techtonik <techtonik(a)gmail.com>: Quite often people use .json files for storing configuration. Having a reference to json module from chapter "14.

[issue4783] document that json.load/dump can’t be used twice on the same stream
by Ezio Melotti April 14, 2011

April 14, 2011

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti(a)gmail.com> added the comment: I saw that and found it not clear, that's why I rephrased it. In order to understand that one has to know what is a "framed protocol", what can be considered a "JSON document" (is a single object a JSON document? or does it need to be serialized first?), what is a "container protocol" (can I use one? where can I find it? is there a default one for JSON?). I think it's clearer to just say that you can't do json.dump(obj1, f); … [View More]

[issue4783] document that json.load/dump can’t be used twice on the same stream
by Bryce Verdier April 13, 2011

April 13, 2011

Bryce Verdier <bryceverdier(a)gmail.com> added the comment: Not to nitpick, but what about the wording used in the simplejson documentation that Bob wrote almost 3 years ago? Note JSON is not a framed protocol so unlike pickle or marshal it does not make sense to serialize more than one JSON document without some container protocol to delimit them I also feel that it sounds a little bit cleaner. http://simplejson.github.com/simplejson/#simplejson.dump ---------- nosy: +louiscipher … [View More]

method function or member function
by Martin Feuchtwanger April 13, 2011

April 13, 2011

Hi, Just wondering if there's a mistake in http://docs.python.org/py3k/tutorial/classes.html I have only limited experience of C++ objects, but i think classes have member variables (or data) and member functions (or methods). So shouldn't "As in Modula-3, there are no shorthands for referencing the object's members from its methods: the *method *function is declared with an explicit first argument representing the object, which is provided implicitly by the call. As in Smalltalk, classes … [View More]
