[issue10976] json.loads() raises TypeError on bytes object
by Hanxue Lee April 4, 2014

April 4, 2014

Hanxue Lee added the comment: This seems to be an issue (bug?) for Python 3.3 When calling json.loads() with a byte array, this is the error json.loads(response.data, 'latin-1') TypeError: can't use a string pattern on a bytes-like object When I decode the byte array to string json.loads(response.data.decode(), 'latin-1') I get this error TypeError: bytes or integer address expected instead of str instance ---------- nosy: +Hanxue.Lee _______________________________________ Python … [View More]

[issue20375] ElementTree: Document handling processing instructions
by Nikolaus Rath April 4, 2014

April 4, 2014

New submission from Nikolaus Rath: (This issue was branched of from #9521). When parsing XML, etree currently skips over all processing instructions and comments. However, both can be represented in the tree and are also written out when generating XML. The attached patch documents this (IMO surprising) behavior. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: xml.etree_r1.patch keywords: patch messages: 209036 nosy: docs@python, eli.bendersky, eric.araujo, ezio.melotti, … [View More]

threading
by Onder Hazaroglu April 3, 2014

April 3, 2014

Hello, I've been using threading library to run some experiments parallel. There is no message passing between my threads but still it messes up somehow. The results are different than running it separated. Basically I experiment with three threads working on three different files but the results are different than running three of them sequentially. Is there a way to make sure that there is no memory sharing between threads? -- Best Regards, Onder HAZAROGLU | Graduate Student | Ph.D. … [View More]

[issue21143] Copy-paste error in documentation of __builtin__.max
by Jyrki Pulliainen April 3, 2014

April 3, 2014

New submission from Jyrki Pulliainen: Looks like the documentation of the __builtin__.max() got copied over from the __builtin__.min. Instead of "the smallest of the positional arguments" it should say "the largest of the positional arguments". This was introduced in 3.4. Patch attached. Thanks to chiman(a)#python.fi for spotting this! ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: fix-typo-in-max.patch keywords: patch messages: 215434 nosy: docs@python, nailor priority: … [View More]

[issue21125] traceback.extract_tb says "quadruple" when it means "tuple"
by Glenn Maynard April 2, 2014

April 2, 2014

New submission from Glenn Maynard: https://docs.python.org/2/library/traceback.html "A “pre-processed” stack trace entry is a quadruple (filename, line number, function name, text) representing the information that is usually printed for a stack trace." There's no such thing as a "quadruple". This should be "tuple". ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 215326 nosy: Glenn.Maynard, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: traceback.… [View More]
