by Christian Herdtweck May 16, 2011

May 16, 2011

Hi all, first of all thanks for the work you all put into python - much appreciated :-) I found a minor bug in the python documentation (version 2.7), library reference, multiprocessing package: http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html In the description of Pipe the docu says: If duplex is False then the pipe is unidirectional: conn1 can only be used for receiving messages and conn2 can only be used for sending messages. which is exactly the other way round as used in … [View More]

>From 4.7.2. Keyword Arguments: " def cheeseshop(kind, *arguments, **keywords): print "-- Do you have any", kind, "?" print "-- I'm sorry, we're all out of", kind for arg in arguments: print arg print "-" * 40 keys = sorted(keywords.keys()) for kw in keys: print kw, ":", keywords[kw] ... Note that the sort()method of the list of keyword argument names is called before printing the contents of the keywordsdictionary; if this is not done, the order in which the arguments are printed is … [View More]

[issue4966] Improving Lib Doc Sequence Types Section
by Ezio Melotti May 16, 2011

May 16, 2011

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti(a)gmail.com> added the comment: I think it should be OK. The stdtypes page could then mention type-specific behavior in the types' sections (e.g. <, <=, =>, > for sets) and link to the language reference for the general behavior. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4966> _______________________________________

Ana Sofia Paixão <anasofiapaixao(a)gmail.com> added the comment: I was taking a look into the possibility of splitting this page into several pages, and wondered: could the contents of the Comparisons and the Boolean operations sections just be merged into Python Reference / Expressions, and then deleted from this page altogether? They are not even data types but operators, after all. ---------- nosy: +anasofiapaixao _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)… [View More]

[issue11979] Minor improvements to the Sockets readme: typos, wording and sphinx features usage
by Xavier Morel May 14, 2011

May 14, 2011

New submission from Xavier Morel <xavier.morel(a)masklinn.net>: First patch fixes a typo ("the reads a reply" -> "then reads a reply") and — I believe — improves the wording of a pair of sentences. Second patch makes use of Sphinx's ``:abbr:`` role, and removes some period which I think are redundant with the use of ``::`` ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: wording messages: 134970 nosy: docs@python, xmorel priority: normal severity: normal status: … [View More]

Python 3.2 Tutorial: Class Attribute Lookups
by Harish Kukreja May 14, 2011

May 14, 2011

There seems to be an error in the first sentence of section 9.4, which currently starts as: "Data attributes override method attributes with the same name; ..." The following code serves as a counterexample: # beginning of code class Foo: spam = 'demo' def spam(self): pass class Bar: def spam(self): pass spam = 'demo' print('Foo.spam is of type: %s' % type(Foo.spam)) print('Bar.spam is of type: %s' % type(Bar.spam)) # end of code

Python v2.7.1 documentation bug
by tomo cocoa May 13, 2011

May 13, 2011

Hello I am a Japanese Pythonista and now belong to the document translating team. I found a subtle bug in the c-api/buffer.html. In the explanation about the PyBuffer_FillContiguousStrides function, there is one open parenthesis but is no close parenthesis. I guess that a close parenthesis should be inserted between words "'F'" and "array".
