Typo in class io.BufferedIOBase docs (issue 22671)
by vadmium+py＠gmail.com 20 Dec '14

20 Dec '14

https://bugs.python.org/review/22671/diff/13472/Doc/library/io.rst File Doc/library/io.rst (right): https://bugs.python.org/review/22671/diff/13472/Doc/library/io.rst#newcode4… Doc/library/io.rst:495: A default implementation is provided. Just noticed the summary of mixin methods near the top of the page. Need to add readinto1() there, but maybe all of this “default implementation provided” is not needed after all. https://bugs.python.org/review/22671/

[issue21071] struct.Struct.format is bytes, but should be str
by Raymond Hettinger 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I would like to see this and issue 8934 discussed as a usability bug. As far as I can tell, the current state of affairs an unintended by-product of a rushed effort to split the standard library to bytes apis and unicode apis. I don't see any reason that we should have to live with this forever. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21071> _______________________________________

[issue23083] sys.exit with bool parameter
by Polux Moon 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

New submission from Polux Moon: when using a bool as parameter implementation (2.7) behave like: sys.exit(True) <=> sys.exit(1) sys.exit(False) <=> sys.exit(0) so the bool indicate if the termination is abnormal following the doc it should be equivalent to sys.exit(1) in all cases if we assume the implementation is right, the doc should describe the behavior for boolean input ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 232883 nosy: Polux.Moon, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: sys.exit with bool parameter type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23083> _______________________________________

[issue23079] os.path.normcase documentation confusing
by Chris Jerdonek 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

New submission from Chris Jerdonek: The documentation for os.path.normcase(path) is currently confusing or self-contradictory. Currently, it reads-- "Normalize the case of a pathname. On Unix and Mac OS X, this returns the path unchanged; on case-insensitive filesystems, it converts the path to lowercase." However, with a case-insensitive file system on Mac OS X (e.g. "File System Personality: Journaled HFS+"), normcase() does not convert paths to lowercase. As it stands, it seems like the clause "on case-insensitive filesystems, it converts the path to lowercase" should be removed or further qualified. I don't know what the qualification is though. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 232871 nosy: chris.jerdonek, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: os.path.normcase documentation confusing type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23079> _______________________________________
