[issue28973] The fact that multiprocess.Queue uses serialization should be documented.
by Bernhard10 Dec. 14, 2016

Dec. 14, 2016

Bernhard10 added the comment: See http://stackoverflow.com/a/925241/5069869 Apparently multiprocessing.Queue uses pickle to serialize the objects in the queue, which explains the change of identity, but is absolutely unclear from the documentation. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python title: multiprocess.Queue changes objects identity -> The fact that multiprocess.Queue uses serialization should be documented. _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28973> _______________________________________

Support for gnu dbm via dbm errors out because gdbm module not found. Likewise, support for ndbm is misssing because _dbm module is missing. Please see the dbm module for details. I am using Python 3 v 3.5.2 on windows 8.1 John Van Walleghen Sent from my Galaxy Tab® A

[issue26683] Questionable terminology for describing what locals() does
by Raymond Hettinger Dec. 12, 2016

Dec. 12, 2016

New submission from Raymond Hettinger: The docs for locals() say that inside a function that local variables and free variables are included: https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#locals Elsewhere we use the terms "cell variables" or "nonlocals". Mathematically, the word "free" means unbound, so that isn't applicable here and isn't the usual way of describing variables in the enclosing scope. >>> def f(x): def g(y): z = x + y print(locals()) return g >>> f(10)(20) {'x': 10, 'y': 20, 'z': 30} Also, I'm not sure why "x" and "y" are included in the definition for locals(). That seems strange given that "x" and "y" are not local to "g" and that "x += 1" would fail with an UnboundLocalError. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 262713 nosy: docs@python, rhettinger priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Questionable terminology for describing what locals() does versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26683> _______________________________________

[issue28939] Groupby Is Roughly Equivalent To ...
by Greg Solomon Dec. 11, 2016

Dec. 11, 2016

New submission from Greg Solomon: https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html#itertools.groupby I found the "equivalent" code a bit hard to read. Is there any merit in changing it to something a bit like the following ? Kind Rgds, Greg class groupby: def __init__( self , iterable , key_function = ( lambda x: x ) ): self.iterable = iter( iterable ) self.key_function = key_function self.FINISHED = object() try: self.next_value = next( self.iterable ) except StopIteration: self.next_value = self.FINISHED def __iter__( self ): return self def __next__( self ): if self.next_value == self.FINISHED: raise StopIteration self.group_key_value = self.key_function( self.next_value ) return ( self.group_key_value , self._group() ) def _group( self ): while self.next_value != self.FINISHED \ and self.group_key_value == self.key_function( self.next_value ): yield self.next_value try: self.next_value = next( self.iterable ) except StopIteration: self.next_value = self.FINISHED return ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 282943 nosy: docs@python, greg.solomon priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Groupby Is Roughly Equivalent To ... versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28939> _______________________________________
