[issue10976] json.loads() throws TypeError on bytes object
by Balthazar Rouberol April 26, 2012

April 26, 2012

Balthazar Rouberol <rouberol.b(a)gmail.com> added the comment: I know this does not fix anything at the core, but it would allow you to use json.loads() with python 3.2 (maybe 3.1?): Replace json.loads(raw_data) by raw_data = raw_data.decode('utf-8') # Or any other ISO format json.loads(raw_data) ---------- nosy: +Balthazar.Rouberol _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10976> _______________________________________

Small error in the time library documentation.
by Fizz April 25, 2012

April 25, 2012

Hi, I've found what looks like a bug in the docs for the time library. In the struct_time description, under tm_sec, the documentation refers the reader to note 1 under strftime(). I believe the intent was to refer to note 2, which discusses the behavior of leap seconds. (Note 1 has to do with format strings, which is relevant to strftime() but not to struct_time.tm_sec.) Thanks, Fizz

[issue12488] multiprocessing.Connection does not communicate pipe closure between parent and child
by Sye van der Veen April 25, 2012

April 25, 2012

Sye van der Veen <syeberman(a)gmail.com> added the comment: This issue _does_ exist on Windows, and is not limited to the case where the master process exits before its children. The following code, which is almost exactly that from the 2.7.3 documentation, deadlocks on Win7 (Py3.2 and 2.7) and WinXP (Py3.2 and 2.6): from multiprocessing import Process, Pipe import sys def f(conn): #conn.send([42, None, 'hello']) # uncomment second conn.close() if __name__ == "__main__": parent_conn, child_conn = Pipe() p = Process(target=f, args=(child_conn,)) p.start() #child_conn.close() # uncomment first sys.stdout.write( "about to receive\n" ) sys.stdout.write( "%s\n"%parent_conn.recv() ) sys.stdout.write( "received\n" ) p.join() If you "uncomment first", recv raises an EOFError; if you also "uncomment second", recv succeeds. If this behaviour is the same on other platforms, then it seems all that is required is to update the documentation. ---------- nosy: +syeberman versions: +Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12488> _______________________________________

Re: [docs] help with graphics
by Ivor Surveyor April 23, 2012

April 23, 2012

I am new to programming and also Python. I have downloaded python 2.7.2. I am also reading Python Programming by John Zelle supplemented by the MIT lecture series for beginners. I have got as far as the chapter on graphics. This is my problem I can not locate the graphics module or find the file graphics.py. my version of Python responds "module unknown" to the command "import graphics." I have searched both the Python and Wing web sites but can not find a copy of the file to download. I would be grateful for any help in locating the file and I would be pleased to purchase the file, if required. regards, Ivor Surveyor isurveyor(a)vianet.net.au
