[issue18800] Document Fraction's numerator and denominator properties
by icedream91 Sept. 10, 2013

Sept. 10, 2013

New submission from icedream91: The document (http://docs.python.org/3/library/fractions.html) doesn't mention Fraction's numerator and denominator properties, I knew these properties from dir(). Since sometimes these two properties are very useful, for example: http://projecteuler.net/problem=33 and http://projecteuler.net/problem=57 , I think document should mention them. Thanks. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 195808 nosy: docs@python, icedream91 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document Fraction's numerator and denominator properties type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18800> _______________________________________

Here is what I get (3.3.2): [16:39:sys] % python3 Python 3.3.2 (default, Aug 5 2013, 11:52:10) [GCC 4.5.3] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import socket as s >>> s.sethostname('bla') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted Simeon

Possible bug in shutil docs for move() function
by Karol Stępniewski Aug. 31, 2013

Aug. 31, 2013

Hi, On page http://docs.python.org/2/library/shutil.html The fragment below move(src,dst) function says: > The destination directory must not already exist However, the behavior of this function is that if the dst does not exist (and is provided as directory, with os separator at the end) it will raise an exception. IMHO it should be: > The destination directory must already exist. Best Regards, Karol
