[issue17701] Improving strftime documentation
by David Wolever 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

New submission from David Wolever: The current strftime documentation isn't very helpful. It doesn't have examples, and the ordering is unhelpful. I've also moved some format-specific notes into the notes below the format-string-table, because the format string table is what 98%* of people care about. TODO before this can be merged: - Clean up note order - Check that it works with the Python 3 docs *: based on a sample size of 1 ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: strftime-docs.diff keywords: needs review, patch messages: 186601 nosy: docs@python, wolever priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Improving strftime documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29784/strftime-docs.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17701> _______________________________________

[issue12645] test.support. import_fresh_module - incorrect doc
by Eli Bendersky 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

New submission from Eli Bendersky <eliben(a)gmail.com>: >From Ezio Melotti's email to python-dev: diff --git a/Doc/library/test.rst b/Doc/library/test.rst --- a/Doc/library/test.rst +++ b/Doc/library/test.rst @@ -447,7 +447,7 @@ Module and package deprecation messages are suppressed during this import if *deprecated* is ``True``. - This function will raise :exc:`unittest.SkipTest` is the named module + This function will raise :exc:`unittest.SkipTest` if the named module Actually I think this is no longer true. import_fresh_module raises an ImportError if *name* can't be imported, or returns None if the fresh module is not found. Its use case is to enable or block accelerations for modules that optionally provide one. All the modules that currently use import_fresh_module are (afaik) always available (json, warnings, heapq), so raising SkipTest when the module is missing is not useful now. It returns None in the case an acceleration is missing, so e.g. in "cjson = import_fresh_module('json', fresh=['_json'])" cjson will be None and it will be possible to do things like @skipUnless(cjson, 'requires _json'). Here raising an ImportError will defeat (part of) the purpose of the function, i.e. avoiding: try: import _json except ImportError: _json = None and raising a SkipTest when the accelerations are missing is not an option if there are other tests (e.g. the tests for the Python implementation). These changes come from http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/c1a12a308c5b . Before the change import_fresh_module was still returning the module (e.g. json) even when the acceleration (fresh=['_json']) was missing, and the C tests were run twice using the same pure-python module used for the Py ones. The typo and the wrong doc is also on 2.7. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 141255 nosy: docs@python, eli.bendersky, ezio.melotti priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: test.support. import_fresh_module - incorrect doc versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12645> _______________________________________

Document codecs.encode and codecs.decode (issue 17827)

Seydou Dia added the comment: >Several issues : >- abitype.py, analyze_dxp.py, get-remote-certificate.py, import_diagnostics.py, parse_html5_entities.py are not documented. Except analyze_dxp.py, all those files have been docummented in README. analyze_dxp.py was already documented so I don't understand what action is needed.

[issue18676] Queue: document that zero is accepted as timeout value
by Terry J. Reedy 10 Aug '13

10 Aug '13

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Zhongyue, we merge 3.x patches forward (currently 3.3 to 3.4) so only one patch is usually needed unless the differences are non-trivial. It is easier if different version patches are tagged with the version in the filename.('-27', for instance. If you think you will ever contribute another patch, especially one less trivial than this one, please go to http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/ and http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/contrib-form/ Note that the agreement can now be submitted electronically. ---------- resolution: -> fixed stage: commit review -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18676> _______________________________________
