[issue14545] html module should not be available in Python 3.1
by Georg Brandl April 11, 2012

April 11, 2012

Georg Brandl <georg(a)python.org> added the comment: The comment that "html" was a package was not meant as a correction, but as an explanation why it already exists previous to its status as an official "module" in 3.2. No correction to "package"is needed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14545> _______________________________________

[issue14545] html module should not be available in Python 3.1
by Chris Jerdonek April 11, 2012

April 11, 2012

Chris Jerdonek <chris.jerdonek(a)gmail.com> added the comment: Ezio, I appreciate the suggestion/tip. Thanks. Regarding Georg's clarification that '"html" is a package,' I don't know if that was intended to correct my comment, Ezio's comment, the docs, or all of the above. In any case, that point should also be corrected in the docs as the docs currently say about html, "This *module* defines utilities to manipulate HTML." ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14545> _______________________________________

[issue14545] html module should not be available in Python 3.1
by Georg Brandl April 11, 2012

April 11, 2012

Georg Brandl <georg(a)python.org> added the comment: "html" is a package. The "html.parser" module, which was already in 3.0, cannot be importable without a "html" package, so in all 3.x versions there was at least an empty html/__init__.py. That said, I have no objection to Ezio's suggestion. ---------- nosy: +georg.brandl _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14545> _______________________________________

[issue14545] html module should not be available in Python 3.1
by Ezio Melotti April 11, 2012

April 11, 2012

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti(a)gmail.com> added the comment: The doc for the html module was added in 5633af590057 (see #2830) and it was previously undocumented even if it was importable. Moving the versionadded under html.escape sounds good to me. As a side note, it would be better to do try: # Python 3.2 deprecates cgi.escape() and adds html.escape() as a replacement. from html import escape except ImportError: from cgi import escape rather than importing the whole cgi module as "html" just to use the escape function. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation -None keywords: +easy nosy: +docs@python, ezio.melotti stage: -> needs patch versions: +Python 3.2, Python 3.3 -Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14545> _______________________________________

Should I remove previous versions of python before installing a newer one?
by marc desmarais April 10, 2012

April 10, 2012

I can't seem to find any advice regarding the installation of new versions of python. Should I remove previous versions of python before installing a newer one? For instance, should I remove 2.5 before installing 2.7? I would recommend that this advice be added to the "download" web page Marc Desmarais

[issue14528] Document whether strings implement __iter__
by Chris Jerdonek April 8, 2012

April 8, 2012

New submission from Chris Jerdonek <chris.jerdonek(a)gmail.com>: While converting code from Python 2 to Python 3, I came across the "gotcha" that strings implement __iter__ in Python 3 but not in Python 2. Looking through the documentation, I don't seem to see anything like this mentioned in the library portion of either Python 2 or 3's documentation: http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#iterator-types http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/stdtypes.html#iterator-types Or in the documentation describing differences between 2 and 3: http://docs.python.org/release/3.0.1/whatsnew/3.0.html In fact, the Python 2 and 3 sections on iterator types seem largely the same. Python 2's documentation even seems a bit misleading in this regard. At the beginning of this section, it says, "Sequences, described below in more detail, always support the iteration methods [of which __iter__() is the main one]." And str and unicode are the first two types mentioned in that next section on sequence types. Here is a blog post I came across about this issue: http://plope.com/Members/chrism/python_2_vs_python_3_str_iter I think it would be worth highlighting this issue somewhere in the Python documentation, or at least acknowledging the change (unless I'm simply looking in the wrong place, in which case maybe it should be made more visible). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 157783 nosy: cjerdonek, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document whether strings implement __iter__ type: enhancement versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14528> _______________________________________

[issue14511] _static/opensearch.xml for Python 3.2 docs directs searches to 3.3 docs
by Zachary Ware April 7, 2012

April 7, 2012

New submission from Zachary Ware <zachary.ware(a)gmail.com>: Adding the search plugin for the 3.2 docs to Firefox and then searching from it returns results from the 3.3 dev docs, despite everything saying it should be for searching "Python v3.2.2 documentation". If my understanding of how it all works is correct, the attached patch should fix the issue. It simply removes 'dev/' from the html_use_opensearch assignment in Doc\conf.py in the 3.2 branch. Thanks, Zach ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: 3.2 conf.py opensearch.diff keywords: patch messages: 157599 nosy: docs@python, eric.araujo, ezio.melotti, georg.brandl, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: _static/opensearch.xml for Python 3.2 docs directs searches to 3.3 docs type: behavior versions: Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file25137/3.2 conf.py opensearch.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14511> _______________________________________
