Not a bug, but ...
by Luciano De Falco Alfano July 10, 2011

July 10, 2011

... maybe useful to change the address used in the POST example in doc pages about the httplib module (http://docs.python.org/library/httplib.html). In fact, from the 28th of Jun 2011, mojam.com and musi-cal.com were closed (http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/blog/index.php/2011/06/closing-mojam-com-and-…). Thank you all for yours invaluable work about Python. Sincerly Luciano De Falco Alfano Rome, Italy

[issue12490] Documentation for itertools.chain.from_iterable is incorrect
by Rodolpho Eckhardt July 4, 2011

July 4, 2011

New submission from Rodolpho Eckhardt <rodolpho.eckhardt(a)gmail.com>: The documentation at http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/itertools.html#itertools.chain and http://docs.python.org/library/itertools.html#itertools.chain is inconsistent. At the definition of the class it states that itertools.chain.from_iterable can receive one iterable "Gets chained inputs from a single iterable argument that is evaluated lazily.", but then it contradicts itself by using the following example: @classmethod def from_iterable(iterables): # chain.from_iterable(['ABC', 'DEF']) --> A B C D E F for it in iterables: for element in it: yield element This example could lead the reader to believe this alternative constructor can receive multiple iterable objects, when in fact it can receive only one. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 139802 nosy: RodolphoEckhardt, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Documentation for itertools.chain.from_iterable is incorrect versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12490> _______________________________________

[issue12488] multiprocessing.Connection does not communicate pipe closure between parent and child
by Antoine Pitrou July 4, 2011

July 4, 2011

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou(a)free.fr> added the comment: By the way, if you don't want children processes to continue running when the master exits, just make them daemonic processes (by adding "daemon=True" to the Process() constructor call). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12488> _______________________________________

[issue12488] multiprocessing.Connection does not communicate pipe closure between parent and child
by Antoine Pitrou July 4, 2011

July 4, 2011

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou(a)free.fr> added the comment: Well, I think it deserves a comment in the documentation that behaviour of Pipes and Queues when one of the process terminates is undefined and implementation-dependent. By the way, there's internal support in 3.3 to reliably detect killed children, and it's used by concurrent.futures: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/concurrent.futures.html#concurrent.futur…. However, I'm not sure there's an easy way to detect a killed master process from one of the worker processes. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python resolution: invalid -> stage: committed/rejected -> needs patch status: closed -> open versions: +Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12488> _______________________________________
