[issue27688] Expand documentation about Any in the typing module
by Michael Lee Aug. 6, 2016

Aug. 6, 2016

New submission from Michael Lee: This patch updates the section about `Any` in the typing module. Previously, that section was relatively sparse and didn't seem to do a very good job of helping the reader understand what the distinction between `Any` and `object` is. This patch expands that section and adds several examples borrowed from the mypy docs and PEP 484. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: object-vs-any.patch keywords: patch messages: 272009 nosy: docs@python, gvanrossum, michael0x2a priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Expand documentation about Any in the typing module versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file44012/object-vs-any.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27688> _______________________________________

[issue23105] os.O_SHLOCK and os.O_EXLOCK are not available on Linux
by Sworddragon Aug. 6, 2016

Aug. 6, 2016

Sworddragon added the comment: If we decide to word it this way eventually the sentence for "Windows only" needs to be updated too. Not sure about the other sentences as they sound a bit if they would guarantee what they say. Maybe somebody else knows more. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23105> _______________________________________

No, the following branch will raise SystemError: if (!PyModule_Check(m)) { PyErr_BadInternalCall(); return NULL; } I added the assert statement as a sanity check. http://bugs.python.org/review/12946/

[issue23105] os.O_SHLOCK and os.O_EXLOCK are not available on Linux
by Stéphane Wirtel Aug. 6, 2016

Aug. 6, 2016

Stéphane Wirtel added the comment: If you read the documentation from glibc-2.24, these options are only available on BSD and not on Linux. """ The remaining operating modes are BSD extensions. They exist only on some systems. On other systems, these macros are not defined. Macro: int O_SHLOCK Acquire a shared lock on the file, as with flock. See File Locks. If O_CREAT is specified, the locking is done atomically when creating the file. You are guaranteed that no other process will get the lock on the new file first. Macro: int O_EXLOCK Acquire an exclusive lock on the file, as with flock. See File Locks. This is atomic like O_SHLOCK. """ With my fedora 24, and glibc 2.23 I don't find any reference to these macros. ---------- nosy: +matrixise _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23105> _______________________________________
