shutil .move() on 2.6
by Alejandro Fritz May 9, 2011

May 9, 2011

Hi, I am changing from py 2.5 and 2.6 on windows and noticed that the shutil.move() function changed from overwriting (in 2.4 and 2.5) to non-overwriting the destination file if it exists: if os.path.isdir(dst): real_dst = os.path.join(dst, _basename(src)) if os.path.exists(real_dst): raise Error, "Destination path '%s' already exists" % real_dst This behavior is not documented. best, af -- Alejandro Fritz Infoware project coordinator QUIPU GmbH Frankfurt … [View More]

[issue12025] strangely missing separator in "resource" table
by Jesús Cea Avión May 9, 2011

May 9, 2011

New submission from Jesús Cea Avión <jcea(a)jcea.es>: "resource" page in python docs is missing a separator between 6 and 7. Checking the RST source code, everything seems correct. But the fact is that a line is missing in the HTML output. Checking the HTML output code, it seems OK. Disabling CSS, I see the table is correct. Maybe an issue with the CSS?. A bug in Firefox 4.0.1? (my current browser). Viewing in iPhone, the display is OK :-?. Python 2.7: http://docs.python.org/library/… [View More]

[issue12005] modulo result of Decimal differs from float/int
by Mark Dickinson May 5, 2011

May 5, 2011

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm(a)gmail.com> added the comment: The doc change should also note that // and divmod suffer from a similar mismatch: >>> Decimal(-2) // Decimal(3) Decimal('-0') >>> -2 // 3 -1 >>> -2.0 // 3 -1.0 However, the invariant that x = x // y * y + x % y is retained, as it should be. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12005> _______________________________________

[issue12005] modulo result of Decimal differs from float/int
by Mark Dickinson May 5, 2011

May 5, 2011

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm(a)gmail.com> added the comment: I believe that this was a deliberate design decision, though now that I look it seems it's not well documented. That should probably be fixed, so I see this as a documentation issue. More details: The specification on which the decimal module is based requires that there be a 'remainder' operation with the semantics of Decimal's '%' operation (i.e., the result of x % y has the sign of x). However, the specification doesn't say … [View More]
