Hi, I've been compiling resources to include in our guide to MPI and I came across a link that isn't working on your site. It's on this page: http://pyacts.sourceforge.net/ I'm getting an error message when I visit this link: http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich/ If you are planning on updating this page on your site, perhaps our guide to MPI - http://wiht.link/MPIguide would make a suitable replacement.

[issue5501] Update multiprocessing docs re: freeze_support
by Camilla Montonen 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

Camilla Montonen added the comment: Hi everyone! It has been a while since this issue has been updated. The addition requested by Brandon Corfman is a simple clarification of what happens when the freeze_support function from multiprocessing is called on non-Windows platforms (if I understand correctly, the primary purpose of freeze_support is to help in creating Windows executables). Although there is already some documentation which suggests that no adverse effects will occur when running code that calls freeze_support on OS X and Unix, I added a sentence in the docs that will hopefully clarify this. Patch attached. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +Winterflower Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file41278/issue5501-v1.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5501> _______________________________________

sum( ) in generator bugged
by Anselm Kiefner 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

Hi, I just found this bug: Python 3.4.3+ (default, Oct 14 2015, 16:03:50) [GCC 5.2.1 20151010] on linux >>> L = [1,2,3] >>> L_g = (x for x in L) >>> a = [x*sum(L) for x in L] >>> b = (x*sum(L_g) for x in L_g) >>> print(a, list(b)) [6, 12, 18] [5] whether b is a generator or not doesn't make a difference, it seems to be a problem with sum() operating on L_g while L_g is consumed. I stumbled over the problem first in ipython notebook running python kernel 3.5.0, but couldn't find anything about it in the bugtracker. Thanks, Anselm

[issue25787] Add an explanation what happens with subprocess parent and child processes when signals are sent
by Karl Richter 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

New submission from Karl Richter: The [documentation of subprocess](https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/subprocess.html) doesn't contain a substantial statement how signals are handled which are send to the python interpreter. After reading the referenced docs it should be clear * whether a signal is passed to both the parent and the child (If yes in which order? What happens if the child process spawns a process which isn't controlled by python?) * whether signal handlers are inherited (judging from the `restore_signals` parameter some are overwritten -> what's the purpose of this?). Are changes of a signal handler in the parent reflected in the child? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 255802 nosy: docs@python, krichter priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add an explanation what happens with subprocess parent and child processes when signals are sent versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25787> _______________________________________

The names of modules in the side navigation show up with a white background, with light green text - which is not very readable. http://i.imgur.com/Q7aV50r.png http://i.imgur.com/VdsvBzH.png I am using Firefox 42.0 on windows 10.

[issue21240] Add an abstactmethod directive to the Python ReST domain
by Eric Snow 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

New submission from Eric Snow: I'd like to be able to mark abstract methods in the docs more explicitly and have their presentation in the docs be more obvious. So I'd like to propose "abstractmethod" as a new directive to join the existing ones (classmethod, staticmethod, etc.). (This is motivated by msg216314.) ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 216323 nosy: docs@python, eric.snow priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add an abstactmethod directive to the Python ReST domain type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21240> _______________________________________
