[issue23017] string.printable.isprintable() returns False
by R. David Murray 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

R. David Murray added the comment: This is a bit of a conundrum. Our (string module) definition of printable is very clear, and it includes the other whitespace characters. We could document that this does not match the posix definition of printable. It also does not match the RFC 5822 definition of printable (for example), which does *not* include whitespace characters (not even space), but the posix definition is a more likely source of confusion. isprintable is a newer function than string.printable, and serves a different purpose. I suppose that when PEP 3138 was written and implemented the disconnect between the two definitions was not noticed. For backward compatibility reasons I suspect we are stuck with the discrepancy, but perhaps others will think it worth the pain of changing string.printable. I kind of doubt it, though. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23017> _______________________________________

Re: [docs] Improve the doc and indexing of adict.__missing__. (issue 23006)
by JohnJPosner＠verizon.net 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

The term "subdict" at line 1910 of datamodel.rst seems to be a shorthand way of saying "instance of a dict subclass", but that's kind of obscure. The term "subdict" does not appear anywhere else in this document. I suggest changing "subdict" to "dictionary". http://bugs.python.org/review/23006/

[issue22998] inspect.Signature and default arguments
by Walter Dörwald 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Walter Dörwald added the comment: The updated code in the documentation still doesn't set the * and ** parameters. I would have preferred the following code: for param in sig.parameters.values(): if param.name not in ba.arguments: if param.kind is inspect.Parameter.VAR_POSITIONAL: default = () elif param.kind is inspect.Parameter.VAR_KEYWORD: default = {} else: default = param.default ba.arguments[param.name] = default ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22998> _______________________________________
