[issue27180] Doc/pathlib: Please describe the behaviour of Path().rename() is depends on the platform (same as os.rename())
by Masato HASHIMOTO 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

New submission from Masato HASHIMOTO: The behavior of Path().rename() is same as os.rename() (replaces silently if dest file is already existent on Unix) but it's difficult to catch from current pathlib documentation (I found it from source of pathlib) from comparing with replace(). IMHO, it should be described on pathlilb documentation. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 266883 nosy: docs@python, hashimo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Doc/pathlib: Please describe the behaviour of Path().rename() is depends on the platform (same as os.rename()) type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27180> _______________________________________

[issue27508] process thread with implicit join is killed unexpectedly
by Tim Peters 14 Jul '16

Tim Peters added the comment: Ah - good catch! I'm closing this as a duplicate of bug18966. The real mystery now is why the threads _don't_ terminate early under Windows 3.5.2 - heh. ---------- resolution: -> duplicate status: open -> closed superseder: -> Threads within multiprocessing Process terminate early _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27508> _______________________________________

[issue27508] process thread with implicit join is killed unexpectedly
by R. David Murray 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

R. David Murray added the comment: On my gentoo system it prints hi four times in 2.7, and 3.2 through 3.6. I suspect multiprocessing is killing threads, daemon or not, when the main process thread ends. I expect that's a feature, although I didn't find it documented. Ah, found the explanation: issue 18966. Antoine indicates this could indeed be considered a bug but is part of a larger issue. If we aren't going to fix it, we should probably document it. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation -Library (Lib) nosy: +docs@python, r.david.murray versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27508> _______________________________________

Python documentation : some points requiring attention
by Jacques 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Hello, First, I want to thank you for the useful and clear documentation of Python. Beeing a fanatic reader of it, sometimes I encounter some mistake (or it seems to me it is such). If this could bring some help, you will find in the attached file a list of points requiring attention. All the comments concern the official standard documentation of Python 3.4.0. With regards.

[issue27504] Missing assertion methods in unittest documentation
by Mitchell Model 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

New submission from Mitchell Model: In looking at the source for unittest.TestCase I was very surprised to see quite a few assertion methods that are not included in the module documentation. Every available assertion method should be included in the library documentation. Users should not have to look at the source to see what's available — in fact, why would it even occur to the typical user to do that? Also, I think the phrase "provides several assert methods to check for and report failures" is an understatement — it provides MANY assert methods. I think "assertion method" is a better term than "assert method". ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 270278 nosy: MLModel, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Missing assertion methods in unittest documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27504> _______________________________________
