doctest directives not displayed in online documentation for 2.7.3
by Hobson Lane 06 May '12

06 May '12

The doctest directive example code blocks on the doctest documentation page do not contain the described directives ( http://docs.python.org/library/doctest.html) , approximately 1/3 of the way down the page. Perhaps sphinx or is hiding all python doctest string comments and processing the doctest directives rather than displaying the raw code block? The html source shows no sign of the mentioned directives: For example, this test passes: <div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>>>> print range(20) [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, But the rst file at cpython/Docs/Library/doctest.rst does contain the doctest directive (as a comment): For example, this test passes:: >>> print(list(range(20))) #doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Here's the faulty rendering on a Chrome browser in Ubuntu: ... Use + to enable the named behavior, or - to disable it. For example, this test passes: >>> >>> print range(20) [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]

trouble with os.system
by Ruben Nielsen 04 May '12

04 May '12

Hello, I've been trying to build a python module that needs to call an external script. I have tried both with os.system() and subprocess.call() Trouble is, both of them return value 0 meaning 'they succesfully ran the script', however, the script isn't run properly. os.system('/var/www/lmcrypt -i '+lic_out_loc+licfilename+' -o '+lic_out_loc+licfilename+'final') call([/var/www/lmcrypt,'-i',lic_out_loc+licfilename,'-o',lic_out_loc+licfilename+'final']) when the script lmcrypt is run from any user through the terminal, the output file is generated successfully, but when the call is invoked through python, only empty files are generated. With what i've checked, it looks like it must be a problem within python.

Fwd: Need Clarification Python 2.7 (continuation to previous mail)

in file import.h in include/python2.7 (as part of django installation) #define _PyImport_AcquireLock() #define _PyImport_ReleaseLock() 1 Should this be hardcoded as 0 and 1 for each of the above statements. Thanks and Regards, Ashok ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ashok sekharan <ashok.sekharan(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, May 1, 2012 at 1:36 PM Subject: Need Clarification Python 2.7 To: docs(a)python.org There is a file in python which models lock: acquire and release. One of the above variables is coded. Why should both not be coded as 1 and 0 as per electronics. Is it available in a newer version. If so, which?

Minor error in the trigonometry documentation Section 9.2
by Juan Bocadillo 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hello there, This is a very minor issue, however I felt that I should point it out. On this page <http://docs.python.org/library/math.html#math.sin> the sine, cosine, tangent are listed as being in radians. This is strictly untrue since the result of these functions is a pure number ratio between two sides, not an angle. Kind Regards, Juan
