[issue10697] host and port attributes not documented well in function urllib.parse.urlparse and urlsplit
by Martin Panter 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Martin Panter added the comment: I don’t understand where the work needs to be done for this one. Even in the 3.1 and 2.7 documentation, the urlparse() and urlsplit() entries both list “port” as one of the returned attributes, and urlparse() has example code for it. ---------- nosy: +vadmium _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10697> _______________________________________

[issue13637] binascii.a2b_* functions could accept unicode strings
by Martin Panter 08 Feb '15

08 Feb '15

Martin Panter added the comment: The error fix patch looks good. I updated the doc patch as fix_doc_binascii_unhexlify.v2.patch, which also clarifies a2b_qp(), and restores the description of Python 3.2 not allowing text strings. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file38038/fix_doc_binascii_unhexlify.v2.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13637> _______________________________________

[issue20413] Errors in documentation of standard codec error handlers
by RalfM 07 Feb '15

07 Feb '15

New submission from RalfM: The standard library documentation lists the standard codec error handlers in three places: (a) 2. Build-in Functions, section open() (b) 7.2 codecs - Codec registry and base classes (c) 7.2.1 Codec Base Classes As far as I can judge these lists, (c) looks ok, but (a) and (b) contain two errors: 1. 'surrogatepass' is not mentioned. 2. 'surrogateescape' is described as: 'on decoding, replace with code points in the Unicode Private Use Area ranging from U+DC80 to U+DCFF. These private code points will ...' This is incorrect in so far as U+DC80 to U+DCFF are not private code points, but (low-)surrogate code points. This is correctly explained in (c) and in PEP383 (and, of course, in the Unicode standard, chapter 16). I suggest to correct (a) and (b) by * adding 'surrogatepass' with the description given in (c), * changing the description of 'surrogateescape' to something like: 'on decoding, replace with surrogate code points ranging from U+DC80 to U+DCFF. These surrogate code points will ...'. These errors are present in the documentation (more precisely, the .chm files) of at least - Python 3.3.3 - Python 3.3.4rc1 - Python 3.4.0b3. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 209477 nosy: RalfM, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Errors in documentation of standard codec error handlers type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20413> _______________________________________

Documentation bug: ipaddress module
by Andrew M 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Hello, Recently had to work with the ipaddress module and started to study the documentation at: https://docs.python.org/3/library/ipaddress.html#ipaddress.IPv4Network Found the following issue: 21.28.2.1. Address objects: the object does not contain the property is_global, instead the 21.28.3.2. Network objects contains it but it's not listed. Confirmed by studying module py file: /usr/local/lib/python3.4/ipaddress.py Please correct the document. Thank you, Andrew

Documentation / web page bug
by Alan Larson 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

The web page: https://docs.python.org/2/whatsnew/2.2.html#pep-238-changing-the-division-o… has a (fairly substantial) error. It says that: Currently Python’s division operator, /, behaves like C’s division operator when presented with two integer arguments: it returns an integer result that’s truncated down when there would be a fractional part. For example, 3/2 is 1, not 1.5, and (-1)/2 is -1, not -0.5. This is quite incorrect. C's division operator takes (-1) / 2 and gives 0; not -1. This is, in fact, the problem many people have with python. Not that integer division truncates the fractional part of the result, but that it takes the floor of the result, not the result generated by the machine. Computer languages are means of translating to the machine's functions, which truncate towards zero. However, whatever python does, it cannot justify it by claiming C gives (-1) / 2 == -1 ; because that is not true. Alan

[issue23396] Wrong print for 2.7.9
by John Boersma 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

New submission from John Boersma: In the tutorial for 2.7.9, in the section on quotes and the escape character, there is the following example text: >>> '"Isn\'t," she said.' '"Isn\'t," she said.' >>> print '"Isn\'t," she said.' "Isn't," she said. >>> s = 'First line.\nSecond line.' # \n means newline >>> s # without print(), \n is included in the output 'First line.\nSecond line.' >>> print s # with print, \n produces a new line First line. Second line. Note the print() in a comment. Isn't that Python 3 syntax? Should just be print for 2.7, I believe. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 235414 nosy: docs@python, johnboersma priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Wrong print for 2.7.9 type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23396> _______________________________________
