[issue26524] document what config directory is used for
by John Beck 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

New submission from John Beck: Solaris ships Python versions 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5 at present. For 2.7, we ship both 32-bit and 64-bit versions; for 3.4 and 3.5 we only ship 64-bit versions. For 2.7, we ship /usr/lib/python2.7/config/ with the usual suspects (Makefile, Setup.config, config.c, install-sh, python.o, Setup, Setup.local, config.c.in, makesetup) thereunder for the 32-bit version but for the 64-bit version, we don't ship the equivalent directory at all. For 3.4 and 3.5, we ship /usr/lib/python3.[45]/config-3.[45]m/ with its usual suspects. We had a bug filed about the discrepancy in shipping the 32-bit but not the 64-bit version of that directory for 2.7. An investigation suggested the directory is not used for 2.7, nor did it seem used (per docs we could find) for 3.x. But testing revealed it is used for 3.x, as our builds failed, e.g.: error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python3.4/config-3.4m/Makefile (No such file or directory) when we removed the config-3.[45]m directories. OK, fine, it was an experiment, so we'll keep the directories. But it was not clear to us from the docs we could find, such as: https://docs.python.org/3.6/extending/extending.html exactly how the config directory is used. This is a documentation enhancement request to clarify how the config directory is used. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 261477 nosy: docs@python, jbeck priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: document what config directory is used for versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26524> _______________________________________

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Ah, thanks Martin. I forgot that assigning an attribute to a bound method creates a reference loop. This can be fixed without performance lost by using a clever trick. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15068> _______________________________________

[issue24852] Python 3.5.0rc1 "HOWTO Use Python in the web" needs fix
by John Hagen 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

New submission from John Hagen: https://docs.python.org/3.5/howto/webservers.html#setting-up-fastcgi The "HOWTO Use Python in the web" documentation for 3.5.0rc1 prescribes to use flup in its example, which is not compatible with Python 3. This has led to some confusion: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23482357/fastcgi-wsgi-library-in-python… Perhaps the whole article could be given a once over to ensure it is still the best advice as of 2015. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 248491 nosy: John Hagen, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Python 3.5.0rc1 "HOWTO Use Python in the web" needs fix type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24852> _______________________________________

[issue21034] Python docs reference the Distribute package which has been deprecated in favor of Setuptools
by Jurko Gospodnetić 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

New submission from Jurko Gospodnetić: In the Python documentation note: http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/venv.html#venv-def the paragraph: > Common installation tools such as Distribute and pip work > as expected with venvs - i.e. when a venv is active, they > install Python packages into the venv without needing to > be told to do so explicitly. Of course, you need to > install them into the venv first: this could be done by > running distribute_setup.py with the venv activated, > followed by running easy_install pip. Alternatively, you > could download the source tarballs and run python setup.py > install after unpacking, with the venv activated. refers to the Distribute package and its specifics (how it should be installed) but that package has been deprecated in favor of the setuptools package. I suggest to change it to something like: > Common installation tools such as setuptools and pip work > as expected with venvs - i.e. when a venv is active, they > install Python packages into the venv without needing to > be told to do so explicitly. Of course, you need to > install them into the venv first: this could be done by > running setuptools project's ez_setup.py with the venv > activated, followed by running easy_install pip. > Alternatively, you could download the source tarballs and > run python setup.py install after unpacking, with the venv > activated. I'm attaching a patch based on the current tip in CPython's development repository. Hope this helps.

[issue26483] docs unclear on difference between str.isdigit() and str.isdecimal()
by Serhiy Storchaka 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: AFAIK ‘general category “Nd” ’ is the same as ‘the property value Numeric_Type=Decimal’. Yet one related predicate is str.isnumeric(). https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html?#str.isnumeric Return true if all characters in the string are numeric characters, and there is at least one character, false otherwise. Numeric characters include digit characters, and all characters that have the Unicode numeric value property, e.g. U+2155, VULGAR FRACTION ONE FIFTH. Formally, numeric characters are those with the property value Numeric_Type=Digit, Numeric_Type=Decimal or Numeric_Type=Numeric. >>> numerics = ''.join(filter(str.isnumeric, chars)) >>> ''.join(sorted(set(digits) - set(numerics))) '' >>> ''.join(sorted(set(numerics) - set(digits))) '¼½¾৴৵৶৷৸৹୲୳୴୵୶୷௰௱௲౸౹౺౻౼౽౾൰൱൲൳൴൵༪༫༬༭༮༯༰༱༲༳፲፳፴፵፶፷፸፹፺፻፼ᛮᛯᛰ៰៱៲៳៴៵៶៷៸៹⅐⅑⅒⅓⅔⅕⅖⅗⅘⅙⅚⅛⅜⅝⅞⅟ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅤⅥⅦⅧⅨⅩⅪⅫⅬⅭⅮⅯⅰⅱⅲⅳⅴⅵⅶⅷⅸⅹⅺⅻⅼⅽⅾⅿↀↁↂↅↆↇↈ↉⑩⑪⑫⑬⑭⑮⑯⑰⑱⑲⑳⑽⑾⑿⒀⒁⒂⒃⒄⒅⒆⒇⒑⒒⒓⒔⒕⒖⒗⒘⒙⒚⒛⓫⓬⓭⓮⓯⓰⓱⓲⓳⓴⓾❿➉➓⳽〇〡〢〣〤〥〦〧〨〩〸〹〺㆒㆓㆔㆕㈠㈡㈢㈣㈤㈥㈦㈧㈨㈩㉈㉉㉊㉋㉌㉍㉎㉏㉑㉒㉓㉔㉕㉖㉗㉘㉙㉚㉛㉜㉝㉞㉟㊀㊁㊂㊃㊄㊅㊆㊇㊈㊉㊱㊲㊳㊴㊵㊶㊷㊸㊹㊺㊻㊼㊽㊾㊿㐅㒃㠪㭍一七万三九二五亖亿什仟仨伍佰億兆兩八六十千卄卅卌叁参參叄四壱壹幺廾廿弌弍弎弐拾捌柒漆玖百肆萬貮貳贰阡陆陌陸零ꛦꛧꛨꛩꛪꛫꛬꛭꛮꛯ꠰꠱꠲꠳꠴꠵參拾兩零六陸什𐄇𐄈𐄉𐄊𐄋𐄌𐄍𐄎𐄏𐄐𐄑𐄒𐄓𐄔𐄕𐄖𐄗𐄘𐄙𐄚𐄛𐄜𐄝𐄞𐄟𐄠𐄡𐄢𐄣𐄤𐄥𐄦𐄧𐄨𐄩𐄪𐄫𐄬𐄭𐄮𐄯𐄰𐄱𐄲𐄳𐅀𐅁𐅂𐅃𐅄𐅅𐅆𐅇𐅈𐅉𐅊𐅋𐅌𐅍𐅎𐅏𐅐𐅑𐅒𐅓𐅔𐅕𐅖𐅗𐅘𐅙𐅚𐅛𐅜𐅝𐅞𐅟𐅠𐅡𐅢𐅣𐅤𐅥𐅦𐅧𐅨𐅩𐅪𐅫𐅬𐅭𐅮𐅯𐅰𐅱𐅲𐅳𐅴𐅵𐅶𐅷𐅸𐆊𐆋𐋡𐋢𐋣𐋤𐋥𐋦𐋧𐋨𐋩𐋪𐋫𐋬𐋭𐋮𐋯𐋰𐋱𐋲𐋳𐋴𐋵𐋶𐋷𐋸𐋹𐋺𐋻𐌠𐌡𐌢𐌣𐍁𐍊𐏑𐏒𐏓𐏔𐏕𐡘𐡙𐡚𐡛𐡜𐡝𐡞𐡟𐡹𐡺𐡻𐡼𐡽𐡾𐡿𐢧𐢨𐢩𐢪𐢫𐢬𐢭𐢮𐢯𐣻𐣼𐣽𐣾𐣿𐤖𐤗𐤘𐤙𐤚𐤛𐦼𐦽𐧀𐧁𐧂𐧃𐧄𐧅𐧆𐧇𐧈𐧉𐧊𐧋𐧌𐧍𐧎𐧏𐧒𐧓𐧔𐧕𐧖𐧗𐧘𐧙𐧚𐧛𐧜𐧝𐧞𐧟𐧠𐧡𐧢𐧣𐧤𐧥𐧦𐧧𐧨𐧩𐧪𐧫𐧬𐧭𐧮𐧯𐧰𐧱𐧲𐧳𐧴𐧵𐧶𐧷𐧸𐧹𐧺𐧻𐧼𐧽𐧾𐧿𐩄𐩅𐩆𐩇𐩽𐩾𐪝𐪞𐪟𐫫𐫬𐫭𐫮𐫯𐭘𐭙𐭚𐭛𐭜𐭝𐭞𐭟𐭸𐭹𐭺𐭻𐭼𐭽𐭾𐭿𐮩𐮪𐮫𐮬𐮭𐮮𐮯𐳺𐳻𐳼𐳽𐳾𐳿𐹩𐹪𐹫𐹬𐹭𐹮𐹯𐹰𐹱𐹲𐹳𐹴𐹵𐹶𐹷𐹸𐹹𐹺𐹻𐹼𐹽𐹾𑁛𑁜𑁝𑁞𑁟𑁠𑁡𑁢𑁣𑁤𑁥𑇡𑇢𑇣𑇤𑇥𑇦𑇧𑇨𑇩𑇪𑇫𑇬𑇭𑇮𑇯𑇰𑇱𑇲𑇳𑇴𑜺𑜻𑣪𑣫𑣬𑣭𑣮𑣯𑣰𑣱𑣲𒐀𒐁𒐂𒐃𒐄𒐅𒐆𒐇𒐈𒐉𒐊𒐋𒐌𒐍𒐎𒐏𒐐𒐑𒐒𒐓𒐔𒐕𒐖𒐗𒐘𒐙𒐚𒐛𒐜𒐝𒐞𒐟𒐠𒐡𒐢𒐣𒐤𒐥𒐦𒐧𒐨𒐩𒐪𒐫𒐬𒐭𒐮𒐯𒐰𒐱𒐲𒐳𒐴𒐵𒐶𒐷𒐸𒐹𒐺𒐻𒐼𒐽𒐾𒐿𒑀𒑁𒑂𒑃𒑄𒑅𒑆𒑇𒑈𒑉𒑊𒑋𒑌𒑍𒑎𒑏𒑐𒑑𒑒𒑓𒑔𒑕𒑖𒑗𒑘𒑙𒑚𒑛𒑜𒑝𒑞𒑟𒑠𒑡𒑢𒑣𒑤𒑥𒑦𒑧𒑨𒑩𒑪𒑫𒑬𒑭𒑮𖭛𖭜𖭝𖭞𖭟𖭠𖭡𝍠𝍡𝍢𝍣𝍤𝍥𝍦𝍧𝍨𝍩𝍪𝍫𝍬𝍭𝍮𝍯𝍰𝍱𞣇𞣈𞣉𞣊𞣋𞣌𞣍𞣎𞣏🄋🄌𠀁𠁤𠃢𠄡𠤪𠦃𠦌𠦜𠫪𠫽𠬙𢎐𢦘𣬛𦉭廾' decimals is a subset of digits, and digits is a subset of numerics. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26483> _______________________________________

[issue26497] Documentation - HOWTO Use Python in the web paragraph on TurboGears still mentions it's based on Pylons

New submission from Alessandro Molina: https://docs.python.org/3.6/howto/webservers.html#turbogears still mentions "TurboGears 2 is based on the WSGI stack of another popular component-based web framework, Pylons." which is not true anymore since TurboGears 2.3.0. TurboGears switched to its own micro-framework core since version 2.3.0 as Pylons wasn't Python3 compatible.
