[issue16395] Documentation claims that PySequence_Fast returns a tuple, when it actually returns a list.
by Josh Rosenberg 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Josh Rosenberg added the comment: As far as performance goes, presumably the length hinting API reduces the number of cases in which we're working with completely unsized iterables, right? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16395> _______________________________________

Josh Rosenberg added the comment: Any news on this?

[issue21174] A typo in the docs for "exception GeneratorExit"
by Boštjan Mejak 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

New submission from Boštjan Mejak: The docs for the exception GeneratorExit starts like this: Raise when a generator‘s close() method is called. The sentece should start with the first word "Raise" to say "Raised". You can find this particular doc sentence on this link: https://docs.python.org/2/library/exceptions.html#exceptions.GeneratorExit This is a small fix. Just add the letter "d". ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 215717 nosy: Zvezdoslovec, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: A typo in the docs for "exception GeneratorExit" type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21174> _______________________________________

trace module accepts --count option, but not --counts option when invoked
by tomo cocoa 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hello, I am a Japanese translator for Python documents. In the first paragraph of the subsubsection "27.6.1.1. Main options", a "--counts" option is explained, but trace module does not have that option. "--count" option may be misspelt with "--counts". https://docs.python.org/3.3/library/trace.html#main-options Thank you, cocoatomo -- class Cocoatomo: name = 'cocoatomo' email_address = 'cocoatomo77(a)gmail.com' twitter_id = '@cocoatomo'

Problem With Python Arithmetic
by John Hulbert 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hello. I don't know if this is a bug in Python, or my own misuse of the language. I have the following code: p=3470494144279007 p=(p*3+1)/2 print(p) p=3470494144279007.0 p=(p*3+1)/2 print(p) These should give the same answer, but I get the following 2 answers, with the first one correct, and the second one wrong. (They differ in the last integer digit): 5205741216418511.0 5205741216418510.0 Also, can you tell me (a Python beginner), how I can force Python to use long integer arithmetic throughout an algorithm? Regards John Hulbert, (Reading, UK)

Problem With Python Arithmetic (Solved?)
by John Hulbert 05 Apr '14

05 Apr '14

Hello. I wrote to you earlier today with the following problem:- I have the following code: p=3470494144279007 p=(p*3+1)/2 print(p) p=3470494144279007.0 p=(p*3+1)/2 print(p) These should give the same answer, but I get the following 2 answers, with the first one correct, and the second one wrong. (They differ in the last integer digit): 5205741216418511.0 5205741216418510.0 I have now discovered that I should have been using integer division, (//), instead of ordinary division, (/). My algorithm now seems to work perfectly. It arose in a study of the Collatz Conjecture. Regards John Hulbert, (Reading, UK)
