bug in offline documentation (Browser-specific)
by Lorenzo Grespan Aug. 23, 2012

Aug. 23, 2012

Hi, I downloaded the offline docs from here (version 3.2.3) http://docs.python.org/py3k/archives/python-3.2.3-docs-html.tar.bz2 unpacked them and opened 'index.html'. I then inserted a search term (I tried 'GIL') and ran 'search'. Google Chrome Version 21.0.1180.79 is stuck at the 'searching...' phase (see screenshot), while Firefox correctly rendered the search results. CPU usage is not increased (there's nothing at 100%) but nothing happens while the 'search' page is stuck. I am currently running Max OSX 10.7.4 on a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2GB ram.

[issue10436] tarfile.extractfile in "r|" stream mode fails with filenames or members from getmembers()
by Wichert Akkerman Aug. 23, 2012

Aug. 23, 2012

Wichert Akkerman added the comment: You could also look for the first matching file and extract that. That way you can at least implement something similar to what standard tar can do: [fog;/tmp]-10> tar tf x.tar docs/ docs/index.rst docs/glossary.rst docs/Makefile docs/conf.py docs/changes.rst [fog;/tmp]-12> cat x.tar| tar xf - docs/index.rst [fog;/tmp]-13> ls docs index.rst ---------- nosy: +wichert _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10436> _______________________________________

[issue5088] optparse: inconsistent default value for append actions
by R. David Murray Aug. 22, 2012

Aug. 22, 2012

R. David Murray added the comment: It may or may not be too old to deserve comments, but it is too old to do anything about it. This can't change for backward compatibility reasons, and since optparse is deprecated in favor of argparse it isn't getting any new features. We still need to apply the doc patch, though...(makes note to self). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5088> _______________________________________

by Marcin Kuźmiński Aug. 22, 2012

Aug. 22, 2012

Hi, In the http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html#collections.deque it is written that the maxlen parameter was added in python2.7, while in python2.6.8 i can provide maxlen parameter to deque. Is this a docbug ? Cheers Marcin Kuzminski

[issue5088] optparse: inconsistent default value for append actions
by Louis Deflandre Aug. 22, 2012

Aug. 22, 2012

Louis Deflandre added the comment: Hello, Tell me if the issue is too old to deserve comments anymore. But I would like to challenge the conclusion made in this issue. The message msg9944 stated "Think of the default as the initial list" but it is inconsistent with the proper meaning of default which can be defined as : "a preselected option adopted by a computer program or other mechanism WHEN NO ALTERNATIVE IS SPECIFIED" (http://www.wordreference.com/definition/default - Oxford Dictionary). The "initial list" conclusion seems to me more implementation oriented than really user oriented ---------- nosy: +louis.deflandre _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5088> _______________________________________

[issue12415] Missing: How to checkout the Doc sources
by Philip Olson Aug. 20, 2012

Aug. 20, 2012

New submission from Philip Olson <philip(a)roshambo.org>: I was unable to determine how to download the Python documentation source files (for building via Sphinx) but did figure out the following: hg clone http://hg.python.org/cpython cd cpython/Doc make html Where to get the Doc sources deserves a mention here: http://docs.python.org/dev/documenting/building.html I don't know this topic so won't propose a patch, but building.txt should mention where/how to get 'Doc' before the 'cd Doc' example. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 139147 nosy: docs@python, philip priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Missing: How to checkout the Doc sources _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12415> _______________________________________
