[issue17546] Document the circumstances where the locals() dict get updated
by R. David Murray 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

R. David Murray added the comment: Your formulation is more concise, thank you. I suggest dropping the word 'additionally'. Also, "how it does" would be better phrased as "how it changes", I think. (It really should be "whether and how it changes", but in deference to Anatoly's 'advanced English' comment I'm willing to let that imprecision slide). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17546> _______________________________________

[issue23244] doc typo in 'Glossary': 'generator'
by N0v1ce Llve 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

New submission from N0v1ce Llve: 'a series a values' in the description of 'generator' in 'Glossary' should be 'a series of values'. Take the online documentation for example, the whole sentence is - > It looks like a normal function except that it contains yield statements for producing **a series a values** usable in a for-loop or that can be retrieved one at a time with the next() function. :) ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 234047 nosy: docs@python, n0vicelive priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: doc typo in 'Glossary': 'generator' versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23244> _______________________________________

[issue22997] Minor improvements to "Functional API" section of Enum documentation
by Simeon Visser 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

New submission from Simeon Visser: This patch contributes two changes to the "Functional API" section of the Enum documentation: - Early in the section it mentions four different ways of creating an Enum but later it only lists three different ways (the "sequence of names" approach wasn't listed anymore). - The use of "Animal" and "Animals" wasn't consistent. This issue is mainly to test my ability to make a (trivial) patch. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 232142 nosy: docs@python, simeon.visser priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Minor improvements to "Functional API" section of Enum documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22997> _______________________________________

[issue20467] Confusing wording about __init__
by Mark Lawrence 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

New submission from Mark Lawrence: I found the wording here http://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__init__ very confusing as it implies that __init__ is the class constructor and not the initialiser. Specifically it says "As a special constraint on constructors, no value may be returned; doing so will cause a TypeError to be raised at runtime". Can we please have the wording changed so that it states exactly what this method does? Possibly changes are also needed in the equivalent section for __new__. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 209843 nosy: BreamoreBoy, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Confusing wording about __init__ type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20467> _______________________________________

bug
by Natàlia Padilla Sirera 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hi, I have done a script that contains with open (‘file.txt’, ‘w’) as fh: fh.write(‘blabla1’) afterwards I do, with open (‘FILE.txt’, ‘w’) as fh: fh.write(‘blabla2’) the result is a file called ‘file.txt’ that contains blabla2 I think that the name of the file is not case sensitive and I think that it should be. Thanks a lot, Natàlia
