This sentence makes no sense: Alternatively, the host name and optional port number can be passed to the constructor, to, in which case the connection to the server will be established before the constructor returns. Should it be: Alternatively, the host name and optional port number can be passed to the constructor too, in which case the connection to the server will be established before the constructor returns. ?

Please update your ElementTree Python 2.7 docs
by Alfred Morgan April 7, 2015

April 7, 2015

Your 2.7 source code and your 2.7 docs are out of sync. In the source there are many methods that have the `namespaces` argument and it doesn't show up documented at all in your docs other than one example that uses this undocumented argument. example: "findall(*match*)" in the docs: https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html "def findall(self, path, namespaces=None):" in the source code: https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/xml/etree/ElementTree.py -alfred

bug in https://docs.python.org/3.4/reference/expressions.html#grammar-token-expression_nocond ?
by Alexander Heger April 6, 2015

April 6, 2015

In "6.11. Conditional expressions" the first line reads: """ conditional_expression ::= or_test ["if" or_test "else" expression] """ I think this should be """ conditional_expression ::= expression ["if" or_test "else" expression] """ and maybe the third line, """ expression_nocond ::= or_test | lambda_expr_nocond """ should also replace "or_test" by somethings else? A truly conditionless expression or something in parentheses if containing a condition? -Alexander

Typo in Python Documentation
by Daryl Klakouski April 6, 2015

April 6, 2015

Hi, In the Python 3 documentation, section 4.7.1, in the bit about str.zfill(width) (https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.zfill), there is a missing close parenthesis in the second sentence, at "( ' + ' / ' - ' ".

Re: [docs] SemLock acquire() keyword arg 'blocking' is invalid (issue 23484)

Makes sense -- I will double-check when it got added to Python 3 and make that change. My thinking was that bringing attention to this, even if it has been there for a while, is a good thing because this is the first time it's been reflected in the documentation. But if your immediate reaction is that this looks weird (coming from 2.7 or 3.0), then my idea was the wrong way to go. http://bugs.python.org/review/23484/

[issue23484] SemLock acquire() keyword arg 'blocking' is invalid
by Davin Potts April 2, 2015

April 2, 2015

Davin Potts added the comment: @berker: Sadly, I've read those descriptions in triaging.html more than once and that part apparently did not stick in my head. Hopefully it will now -- thanks. @r.david: Ok, cool -- I had been mentally associating more significance to one versus the other but that helps to understand. As Berker correctly suspected, I would not have expected something labelled "Enhancement" to be allowed into the 2.7 branch so the explanation definitely helps. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23484> _______________________________________

Issue with method subprocess.check_output(args, *, input=None, stdin=None, stderr=None, shell=False, universal_newlines=False, timeout=None)
by Imtiaz.Ahmed＠nomura.com April 1, 2015

April 1, 2015

Hi I think I have found an issue with the method: subprocess.check_output(args, *, input=None, stdin=None, stderr=None, shell=False, universal_newlines=False, timeout=None) I tried this method twice with slight change one is working but the other not. 1st which is working import subprocess as sub temp_str=["ls", "-d","/home/xyz_dev_39/xyzB3BenchDec"] output = sub.check_output(temp_str,shell=False,stderr=sub.STDOUT,universal_newlines=False) result is : /home/prism_dev_39/xyzB3BenchDec 2nd which is not working import subprocess as sub str = /home/xyz_dev_*/xyzB3Bench* temp_str=["ls", "-d",str] output = sub.check_output(temp_str,shell=False,stderr=sub.STDOUT,universal_newlines=False) result is Error: No such file or Directory When I tried above cmd(ls –d /home/prism_dev_*/xyzB3Bench* ) manually on unix machine I am getting the result as 1st which is /home/xyz_dev_39/xyzB3BenchDec Could you please check and let me know where or what is incorrect in second approach?
