[issue18676] Queue: document that zero is accepted as timeout value
by R. David Murray 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

R. David Murray added the comment: This is more of a documentation issue than a code issue. To be mathematically precise, the text and error message should read "a non-negative value". Alternatively the text and error could be changed to report that timeout may not be negative, which would probably be clearer. (Note that timeout is a float value, and thus the proposed code change would only break code, it would not change the functionality in any significant way.) ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, r.david.murray title: Queue: zero should not be accepted as timeout value -> Queue: document that zero is accepted as timeout value versions: +Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18676> _______________________________________

Regex howto: revision pass (issue 18562)
by ezio.melotti＠gmail.com 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

http://bugs.python.org/review/18562/diff/8741/Doc/howto/regex.rst File Doc/howto/regex.rst (right): http://bugs.python.org/review/18562/diff/8741/Doc/howto/regex.rst#newcode514 Doc/howto/regex.rst:514: starttagopen = re.compile( ... ) It might be worth expanding a bit on this. Compiling regex at module-level causes an overhead at import time that might or might not matter. The re module also has a cache, so even if the regex are not compiled manually they get cached (unless the cache is full and they are removed from there). Deciding what to do is a judgment call, but mentioning these things might help taking a decision. http://bugs.python.org/review/18562/

Minor mistake on HTMLParser docs
by Eric Higgins 05 Aug '13

05 Aug '13

Greetings, There's a minor mistake on the doc page for the HTMLParser module<http://docs.python.org/2/library/htmlparser.html> . The last snippet labeled: "*Parsing invalid HTML (e.g. unquoted attributes) also works:*" is mistaken in assuming that unquoted attributes are invalid. >>> parser.feed('<p><a class=link href=#main>tag soup</p ></a>') ... According to the HTML4<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.2>and HTML5 <http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/syntax.html#syntax-attr-unquoted>attribute syntax spec, the example you provide are actually perfectly valid attribute definitions. You could add a space or other breaking/invalid character to the attribute value to correct it. Thanks! -Eric Higgins
