[issue5784] raw deflate format and zlib module
by A.M. Kuchling April 18, 2015

April 18, 2015

A.M. Kuchling added the comment: Here's a short patch that expands the discussion of wbits, and duplicates it under both the compressobj() and decompress() methods. Should I avoid the duplication and just have a reference? ---------- nosy: +akuchling Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file39102/patch-5784.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5784> _______________________________________

R. David Murray added the comment: Could we add "For dictionaries and sets this equivalence expression is modified by the addition of 'if hash(x) == hash(e)'? ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23987> _______________________________________

[issue23987] docs about containers membership testing wrong for broken objects
by Ethan Furman April 17, 2015

April 17, 2015

Ethan Furman added the comment: It's not quite that simple -- those containers use the hash to find the objects that will be first checked by identity, and then equality* -- otherwise they would have to do a complete scan from first key to last, and that would kill performance. ... Okay, I see your point -- even for sane objects, a systematic check of every key is not undertaken for the hash-type containers. Perhaps something like: For container types such as list, tuple, or collections.deque, the expression 'x in y' is equivalent to 'any(x is e or x == e for e in y)'. For container types such as set, frozenset, and dict, 'x in y' is equivalent to 'any(x is e or x == e for e in z)' where 'z' is a collection of objects in 'y' that have the same hash. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23987> _______________________________________

[issue23987] docs about containers membership testing wrong for broken objects
by Jonathan Sharpe April 17, 2015

April 17, 2015

Jonathan Sharpe added the comment: I don't think it's as simple as linking to the hashable definition. The "equivalent expression" is simply wrong for dict/set/frozenset, as those types check hash equality, not identity. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23987> _______________________________________

Wrong references to deprecated find_module instead of find_spec (issue 23936)

Contributing curses example programs
by Stephen Longfield April 16, 2015

April 16, 2015

Hi Docs, I was reading over https://docs.python.org/2/bugs.html, and at the bottom, it suggests that if we've created any interesting programs using the curses python library that they would be useful to contribute as examples. I've translated the basic examples from the NCURSES HOWTO ( http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/index.html ) to Python 2.7 using the curses library, as well as translating the game of life example, and writing some of my own code for editing bass guitar tablature. I would be happy to contribute these as examples, but I wasn't sure how to do so. Best, --Stephen Longfield
