Dear Python-team, I just tried to download the documentation for python, but got a 404 error when I tried to download the zip file. After a quick try it seems as if non of the files are accessible. Any chance this could be corrected in the near future? Kind regards, Mathias

[issue22997] Minor improvements to "Functional API" section of Enum documentation
by Simeon Visser 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

New submission from Simeon Visser: This patch contributes two changes to the "Functional API" section of the Enum documentation: - Early in the section it mentions four different ways of creating an Enum but later it only lists three different ways (the "sequence of names" approach wasn't listed anymore). - The use of "Animal" and "Animals" wasn't consistent. This issue is mainly to test my ability to make a (trivial) patch. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 232142 nosy: docs@python, simeon.visser priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Minor improvements to "Functional API" section of Enum documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22997> _______________________________________

[issue20467] Confusing wording about __init__
by Mark Lawrence 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

New submission from Mark Lawrence: I found the wording here http://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__init__ very confusing as it implies that __init__ is the class constructor and not the initialiser. Specifically it says "As a special constraint on constructors, no value may be returned; doing so will cause a TypeError to be raised at runtime". Can we please have the wording changed so that it states exactly what this method does? Possibly changes are also needed in the equivalent section for __new__. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 209843 nosy: BreamoreBoy, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Confusing wording about __init__ type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20467> _______________________________________
