Typo in example code in section 6.2.6.10 in python3.3 documentation
by Vikram Shirgur May 13, 2011

May 13, 2011

Hi, There seems to be a typo in the listing for section 6.2.6.10. The relevant code says this: #-- begin code snippet elif typ != 'SKIP': if typ == 'ID' and val in keywords: typ = val yield Token(typ, mo.group(typ), line, mo.start()-line_start) #-- end code snippet which results in NameError since val hasn't been defined before. It should be changed to: #-- begin code snippet elif typ != 'SKIP': val = mo.group(typ) … [View More]

by John Haxby May 11, 2011

May 11, 2011

The footnote at the end of http://docs.python.org/library/time.html says > > [1] [...] Also, a strict reading of the original 1982 RFC 822 > standard calls for a two-digit year (%y rather than %Y), but practice > moved to 4-digit years long before the year 2000.

Documentation bug -- Python 3.2 tutorial 4.7
by Patrick Gann May 11, 2011

May 11, 2011

To the wonderful Python volunteers, I'm totally new to coding. Not just Python, but coding and scripting in general. I know precious little bits of C, and I know html. I thought I'd start fresh with something awesome, so I went to Python 3.2 and have been slowly walking myself through the tutorial and its examples using "Python Portable." I got stuck on 4.7 http://docs.python.org/py3k/tutorial/controlflow.html#more-on-defining-func… I entered 'y' or 'n' and kept getting the complaint … [View More]

List tutorial
by Matthew Gilson May 10, 2011

May 10, 2011

at: http://docs.python.org/release/2.6/tutorial/datastructures.html#more-on-lis… Perhaps this is nit-picky, but ... The documentation says that list.remove(x) removes the first item whose value is x. In reality, that method removes the first item whose value equals x. simple example: class test(object): def __eq__(self,other): return True l=[test(),test()] l.remove(True) l.remove(True) print l # [] <<< Empty list. test class instances were removed because they equal … [View More]
