[issue18730] suffix parameter in NamedTemporaryFile silently fails when not prepending with a period
by Martin Panter May 7, 2016

May 7, 2016

Martin Panter added the comment: I think Terry may have had the mkstemp() doc string in mind. The NamedTemporaryFile() doc string already points to that function, and it doesn’t make sense to single NamedTemporaryFile() out above other functions. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18730> _______________________________________

[issue12290] __setstate__ is called for false values
by Serhiy Storchaka May 7, 2016

May 7, 2016

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Actually this wording is not quite correct. __setstate__() is called for any pickled state. It is not called only if the state is not pickled. The state is not pickled if reducing method (__reduce_ex__ or __reduce__) doesn't return state or returns None as a state. Default reducing method for protocol 0 and 1 doesn't return a state if __getstate__() returns false value. There are many other details of pickle protocol that are not correctly documented in the documentation of the pickle module. PEP 307 documents pickle protocol more correctly. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12290> _______________________________________

[issue11643] Use |version| instead of X.Y in the doc
by Éric Araujo May 7, 2016

May 7, 2016

New submission from Éric Araujo <merwok(a)netwok.org>: Some files like site.rst use “X.Y” to refer to the Python version, but Sphinx helpfully provides a |version| construct that can be replaced by the current version at build time. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 131816 nosy: docs@python, eric.araujo priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Use |version| instead of X.Y in the doc versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11643> _______________________________________

[issue26897] Clarify Popen stdin, stdout, stderr
by Yclept Nemo May 7, 2016

May 7, 2016

New submission from Yclept Nemo: From: https://docs.python.org/dev/library/subprocess.html#popen-constructor "..., an existing file descriptor (a positive integer), an existing file object, and None." It should be made clear that the file object must be backed by an operating system file, i.e. must have a valid file descriptor. As it stands, the documentation suggests implicit concurrency: that any file object can be used, and on read/write from the subprocess/OS arbitrary python code will be executed, i.e. the python interpreter is pre-empted or python spawns a hidden I/O thread. Anyway, I'm pretty sure subprocess.Popen() just redirects the forked process' stdout/stdin/stderr to the file descriptors from the provided file object. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 264579 nosy: Yclept.Nemo, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Clarify Popen stdin, stdout, stderr versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26897> _______________________________________
