Your print statement in the tutorial is misisng parethesis
by Perry Rothenbaum Aug. 7, 2016

Aug. 7, 2016

I am learning Python 3.5. I'm following your examples in section 3 "An informal introduction to Python" tutorial. The "print" statement is shown without parenthesis in the tutorial and in Python 3.5 it only works with parenthesis. In fact, if I try to type it as you have it shown, I get an error and am being told to add parenthesis. When I add parenthesis it works.

[issue24278] Docs on Parsing arguments should say something about mem mgmt for formatters returning C strings
by Martin Blais Aug. 7, 2016

Aug. 7, 2016

New submission from Martin Blais: Functions that parse arguments like PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() have several formatters that fill in C strings, e.g. "s". In the C API doc: https://docs.python.org/3.5/c-api/arg.html#c.PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords There should be an explicit mention of whether this memory needs to be free (in this case: No) and if not, how this memory is managed (in this case: This refers to a buffer managed by the string object itself). Because of questions of encoding, it raises questions where this memory lies, and what its lifetime is (in this case: That of the owning string object from the caller). This deserves an explicit mention, even if brief. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 243987 nosy: blais, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Docs on Parsing arguments should say something about mem mgmt for formatters returning C strings _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24278> _______________________________________

missing downloads for Python 3.4.4 documentation
by Jean-Claude Arbaut Aug. 6, 2016

Aug. 6, 2016

Hello, This is not really a documentation bug, but I didn't know where to ask. The download files for the Python 3.4.4 documentation are missing, both from the old links I kept (https://docs.python.org/3.4/archives/python-3.4.4-docs-html.zip or maybe https://docs.python.org/3/archives/python-3.4.4-docs-html.zip) and from the recently changed links on the site (no 3.4.4 folder at https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/). I don't know if they have been removed on purpose, however it's strange to have dead links on the site. And all previous downloads seem to be available at https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/. Are they lost for good ? Best regards, Jean-Claude Arbaut
