[issue9536] defaultdict doc makes incorrect reference to __missing__ method
by John Posner 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

New submission from John Posner <jjposner(a)optimum.net>: The documentation for collections.defaultdict is confusing with respect to the __missing__ method. The fact is that a programmer using defaultdict does not need to know anything about __missing__. The attached patch contains a rewrite of the entire section (but not the "defaultdict Examples" section, which is fine. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: defaultdict.patch keywords: patch messages: 113105 nosy: docs@python, jjposner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: defaultdict doc makes incorrect reference to __missing__ method versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file18417/defaultdict.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9536> _______________________________________

[issue23006] Improve the doc and indexing of adict.__missing__.
by Terry J. Reedy 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

New submission from Terry J. Reedy: Currently, the only index entry for __missing__ is "__missing__() (collections.defaultdict method)". This entry should probably not exist -- see #9536, which inspired this issue. The method is not mentioned in the special-methods doc, and the explanation in the dict doc is not indexed. Two suggestions: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#emulating-container-types After __getitem__ entry, add automatically indexed entry, something like object.__missing__(self, key): When present in a dict subclass, called by dict.__getitem__ for missing keys. https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#mapping-types-dict Before the d[key] paragraph starting "If a subclass of dict defines a method __missing__()" add explicit __missing__ index directive. The last sentence of the paragraph "See collections.Counter for a complete implementation including other methods helpful for accumulating and managing tallies." is confusing because the linked entry makes no mention of __missing__ (as it should not). Change sentence to something like "There are two stdlib dict subclasses that use (different) __missing__ methods as part of their implementation: collections.Counter and collections.defaultdict." I will work on a patch and try to get the markup correct. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 232279 nosy: docs@python, terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Improve the doc and indexing of adict.__missing__. type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23006> _______________________________________

[issue22918] Doc for __iter__ makes inexact comment about dict.__iter__
by Éric Araujo 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

New submission from Éric Araujo: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel#object.__iter__ > This method should return a new iterator object that can iterate over all the objects > in the container. For mappings, it should iterate over the keys of the container, and > should also be made available as the method keys(). In 3.x, d.__iter__() is not equivalent to d.keys() but to iter(d.keys()). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 231529 nosy: docs@python, eric.araujo priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Doc for __iter__ makes inexact comment about dict.__iter__ versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22918> _______________________________________
