[issue22399] Doc: missing anchor for dict in library/functions.html
by Philippe Dessauw 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

New submission from Philippe Dessauw: There is a missing anchor for the dict functions in the documentation at library/functions.html. It is present in the documentation of all python version. It seems to impact cross-referencing in Sphinx (using intersphinx). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 226845 nosy: docs@python, pdessauw priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Doc: missing anchor for dict in library/functions.html type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22399> _______________________________________

[issue14824] reprlib documentation references string module
by Jasper St. Pierre 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

New submission from Jasper St. Pierre <jstpierre(a)mecheye.net>: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/reprlib.html """ Formatting methods for specific types are implemented as methods with a name based on the type name. In the method name, TYPE is replaced by string.join(string.split(type(obj).__name__, '_')). Dispatch to these methods is handled by repr1(). Type-specific methods which need to recursively format a value should call self.repr1(subobj, level - 1). """ Outstanding. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 160805 nosy: docs@python, magcius priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: reprlib documentation references string module versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14824> _______________________________________

ssl module documentation containing references to python 2.7.9
by Martin Miko 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

Hello, on several places here [1], are references like: "New in version 2.7.9." or "Changed in version 2.7.9:". As I'm not able to find any reference to this version, latest on download page and elsewhere is 2.7.8, is this a bug, or just a "future" version of docs? Thanks! [1] https://docs.python.org/2/library/ssl.html Best regards, Martin Miko

[issue22224] docs.python.org is prone to political blocking in Russia
by Alexander Patrakov 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

New submission from Alexander Patrakov: I could not access http://docs.python.org/ from work today. Upon investigation, it appears that the ISP has blocked all sites on the IP address 185.31.17.175, because of the court order unrelated to docs.python.org. Many other ISPs in Russia also don't know any methods of site blocking except by IP address. Even if the bad site removes the offending materials, the situation is doomed to repeat itself in the future. To avoid this, please obtain an IPv4 or IPv6 address for docs.python.org that is not shared with any site not controlled by PSF. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 225487 nosy: Alexander.Patrakov, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: docs.python.org is prone to political blocking in Russia type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22224> _______________________________________

[issue22369] "context management protocol" vs "context manager protocol"
by Serhiy Storchaka 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: Both terms are used in the documentation. Currently "context manager" wins (with score 225:19 in rst files). We should unify terminology across the documentation. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 226643 nosy: docs@python, eric.araujo, ezio.melotti, georg.brandl, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: "context management protocol" vs "context manager protocol" versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22369> _______________________________________

[issue22380] Y2K compliance section in FAQ is 14 years too old
by Elizabeth Myers 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

New submission from Elizabeth Myers: As seen at https://docs.python.org/3/faq/general.html#is-python-y2k-year-2000-compliant; this is 2014 - Y2K compliance hasn't been a relevant topic for, well, 14 years, and I doubt this is a "frequently asked question" nowadays. The "As of August 2003" portion is even out of date (11 years old!). IMHO this ought to be taken out of the docs, unless this is still something people are asking about. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 226678 nosy: Elizacat, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Y2K compliance section in FAQ is 14 years too old type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22380> _______________________________________

Re: [docs] Queue.PriorityQueue
by Feldman, Phillip M (AS) 09 Sep '14

I’d like to propose a rewording of the documentation for Queue.qsize() in line with Robert’s explanation below. Phillip From: Engineering Support (Enthought Premium Support) [mailto:epd.gold@enthought.com] Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2014 9:59 AM To: Feldman, Phillip M (AS) Subject: EXT :Re: Queue.PriorityQueue ##- Please type your reply above this line -## Your request (# 36243) has been solved. To reopen this request, reply to this email or click this link: http://support.enthought.com/requests/36243 (requires Enthought subscriber login) Engineering Support (Enthought) Aug 24 11:59 In single-threaded use, it is perfectly exact. In multi-threaded use, it is exact only while qsize() holds the lock, which it releases just before it returns. It is possible that the interpreter may switch to another thread right after the lock is released but before your code receives the value. That other thread may change the size of the queue. Robert Kern Phillip Feldman Aug 24 00:48 From time to time I used Queue.PriorityQueue. It appears to work well, but I’m concerned about the following (from https://docs.python.org/2/library/queue.html): Queue.qsize() Return the approximate size of the queue. I wonder why this returns the approximate size of the queue, and whether there is a way to get the exact size. Phillip This email is a service from Enthought.
