[issue29004] binascii.crc_hqx() implements CRC-CCITT
by Martin Panter Dec. 24, 2016

Dec. 24, 2016

New submission from Martin Panter: If I had known this it would have saved me getting a separate implementation working. >>> hex(binascii.crc_hqx(b"\x01", 0)) '0x1021' https://files.stairways.com/other/binhex-40-specs-info.txt Documenting this might helped many other people. Top Google hits seem oblivious to crc_hqx(), using other CRC implementations, and even other helper functions from the binascii module: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/crc16 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26204060/calculate-crc-ccitt-0xffff-for-… ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: crc-ccitt.patch keywords: patch messages: 283548 nosy: docs@python, martin.panter priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: binascii.crc_hqx() implements CRC-CCITT versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file45952/crc-ccitt.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29004> _______________________________________

[issue29032] How does the __self__ attribute of method become a class rather a instance?
by woo yoo Dec. 21, 2016

Dec. 21, 2016

New submission from woo yoo: The documentation of instance methods confused me, it classifies methods into two types:the one is retrieved by an instance of a class, the other is created by retrieving a method from a class or instance. According to the description, >When an instance method object is created by retrieving a class method >object from a class or instance, its __self__ attribute is the class >itself, and its __func__ attribute is the function object underlying the >class method. the __self__ attribute of the more complex methods is a class. How does this happen? Is this description incorrect? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 283724 nosy: docs@python, woo yoo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: How does the __self__ attribute of method become a class rather a instance? type: behavior versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29032> _______________________________________

[issue29010] Incorrect description about scope related with inheritance
by Brendan Donegan Dec. 20, 2016

Dec. 20, 2016

Brendan Donegan added the comment: Worth putting them side by side I think: "The name BaseClassName must be defined in a scope containing the derived class definition" vs. "BaseClassName must be defined in a namespace accessible from the scope containing the derived class definition" ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29010> _______________________________________
