umedoblock <umedoblock(a)gmail.com> added the comment: I attached DOC patch. I misunderstand ? Sorry... I think that "go ahead and make one" means I shuold make the source patch. I use just Python3.2. I didn't use Python 2.x, 3.0 and 3.1 in my programming life. Therefore I reported version 3.2. I should the versions to "3rd party" ? ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22254/math.rst.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.… [View More]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy(a)udel.edu> added the comment: umedoblock: David, Mark, and I agree that this should be a doc issue, and so I suggested a DOC patch. So I do not know why you are screwing around with the code, or what you are trying to do with it, or why you are messing around with the version headers or why you think this is a 3.2 only issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12211> _______________________________________

umedoblock <umedoblock(a)gmail.com> added the comment: I made the patch. But it cannot pass testCopysign(). math.copysign(1, -0.) returns 1. I hope to return -1. But I don't know how to realize -0. as negative value.

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy(a)udel.edu> added the comment: > "Return a float with the magnitude of x but the sign of y." This appears to describe both current behavior and what I believe was the intention. I would go with a doc patch based on this. umedoblock, go ahead and make one. It occurred to me, also, that as currently written, copysign 'should' return the type of the first arg. In C89, and I suspect in Python 1.0, all math functions return double (Python float).

[issue12237] Document how to open non-default webbrowser
by Terry J. Reedy June 4, 2011

June 4, 2011

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy(a)udel.edu> added the comment: The intended method of using a non-default browser is well documented and the OP did exactly the right thing. However, even if Opera is present, the 'right thing' does not work because nothing but iexplorer gets registered (and that not completely usefully), even if present on the system, because the registration code is buggy, as discussed in #10799. Hirch, if you had clicked Search and entered 'webbrowser' in the 'All text' box, … [View More]

[issue12249] add missing command
by Tshepang Lekhonkhobe June 3, 2011

June 3, 2011

New submission from Tshepang Lekhonkhobe <tshepang(a)gmail.com>: It's not indicated where one should run the command 'make html' in the "Building the documentation" page, so when it failed for me when running it from the cpython distribution root, I was left a little puzzled, searching where the problem might lie (wasting time). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: add-missing-command.diff keywords: patch messages: 137502 nosy: docs@python, tshepang priority:… [View More]
