Hi, everyone! Today I was reading python tutorial, and find such bug: http://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html Section - 3.1.2. Strings Last output: >>> '"Isn\'t," she said.''"Isn\'t," she said.' This is no backslash \ in output before 't," I use python 3.3.0 Python 3.3.0 (v3.3.0:bd8afb90ebf2, Sep 29 2012, 10:57:17) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AM D64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> print('"Isn\'t," she said.') "Isn't," she said. Thank you for such documentation.

[issue16194] imp.load_dynamic imports wrong module when called several times on a multi-module .so
by Václav Šmilauer 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Václav Šmilauer added the comment: issue16421 was opened for py3k. Just for the sport of writing, I fixed that in python 2.7 (tip) as well, though other seemed to defend the view it was not a bug, hence not fixable in 2.7. ---------- keywords: +patch versions: -Python 3.2, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file27910/py2_many-modules-in-one-so_1.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16194> _______________________________________

Inaccurate description of HtmlDiff.make_table, Python 3.1.5
by rail shafigulin 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

The description of HtmlDiff.make_table is inaccurate, http://docs.python.org/release/3.1.5/library/difflib.html#difflib.HtmlDiff.… It says the following "Compares fromlines and tolines (lists of strings) and returns a string which is a complete HTML table showing line by line differences with inter-line and intra-line changes highlighted." However non of the rows in the tables are highlighted. There are two possible fixes for this. 1. The documentation is incorrect in describing what should happen when this method is called. Instead of what is says right now it should say that the table is generated without showing any differences. 2. The code does not reflect the documentation, i.e. make_table should generate the html string correctly. I'm running Python 3.1.5 on a Windows Xp Pro Version 2002, SP 3.

Re: [docs] Document that datetime.__format__ is datetime.strftime (issue 8913)
by heikki.partanen＠gmail.com 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

http://bugs.python.org/review/8913/diff/6442/Doc/library/datetime.rst File Doc/library/datetime.rst (right): http://bugs.python.org/review/8913/diff/6442/Doc/library/datetime.rst#newco… Doc/library/datetime.rst:616: 'John in 2002' The idea there is to emphasize the handiness of being able to format a date(time) within a single str.format() call. If there are no other parameters in the example, this advantage may go unnoticed. It was actually suggested earlier by Éric: http://bugs.python.org/review/8913/diff/6363/Doc/library/datetime.rst http://bugs.python.org/review/8913/

[issue16355] inspect.getcomments() does not work in the interactive shell
by Ezio Melotti 04 Nov '12

04 Nov '12

Ezio Melotti added the comment: > The point is that a working program would stop working. My point is that the program might not be a "working" program, if the function fails silently. Anyway this function is probably not widely used, so I'm fine either ways. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16355> _______________________________________
