[issue11203] gzip doc is behind
by K Richard Pixley June 9, 2011

June 9, 2011

New submission from K Richard Pixley <rich(a)noir.com>: The documentation for gzip should include the "close" method. It's use in the 2.7 documentation implies it's existence but it should also be stated explicitly that it exists. In the 3.x documentation, the use of "close" not in the examples since the examples use context manager. For 3.x documentation there should be both an explicit mention of the "close" method as well as an explicit mention that GzipFile supports the context … [View More]

[issue11690] Devguide: Add "communication" FAQ
by Nick Coghlan June 7, 2011

June 7, 2011

Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan(a)gmail.com> added the comment: On a related note, http://docs.python.org/devguide/docquality.html should mention that the devguide itself lives in a different repo but the process is otherwise similar to contributing to the main docs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11690> _______________________________________

[issue12134] json.dump much slower than dumps
by poq June 5, 2011

June 5, 2011

poq <poq(a)gmx.com> added the comment: dump() is not slower because it's incremental though. It's slower because it's pure Python. I don't think there is necessarily a memory/speed trade-off; it should be possible to write an incremental encoder in C as well. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12134> _______________________________________

[issue12134] json.dump much slower than dumps
by Terry J. Reedy June 5, 2011

June 5, 2011

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy(a)udel.edu> added the comment: >From just reading the docs, it appears that json.dump(obj,fp) == fp.write(json.dumps(obj)) and it is easy to wonder why .dump even exists, as it seems a trivial abbreviation (and why not .dump and .dumpf instead). Since, '_one_shot' and 'c_make_encoder' are not mentioned in the doc, there is no hint from these either. So I think a doc addition is needed. The benchmark is not completely fair as the .dumps timing omits the write … [View More]

[issue12211] Better document math.copysign behavior.
by Mark Dickinson June 5, 2011

June 5, 2011

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm(a)gmail.com> added the comment: > I think we should include the "On a platform ..." Sure, sounds good. One of the main things that makes copysign useful is that it distinguishes between -0.0 and 0.0. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12211> _______________________________________

[issue12211] Better document math.copysign behavior.
by Terry J. Reedy June 5, 2011

June 5, 2011

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy(a)udel.edu> added the comment: Third party refers to things other than Pythonx.y code For instance, distutils2/distribute was for some years developed separately from the main codebase and was recently merged into the 3.3 repository. While separate, its issues were '3rd party'. That has nothing to do with this. A patch against 3.2 is fine. It will almost certainly apply unchanged to both 3.3 and 2.7 since this part of the doc may have never changed since written. … [View More]
