R. David Murray added the comment: Thanks for the patch, Ram. I started from your patch but further clarified exactly what the tuple is by linking to the actual documentation in the socket docs of what a (host, port) tuple looks like. I'll apply my patch to 2.7 as well as soon as I confirm the docs build correctly. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26209> _______________________________________

[issue20842] pkgutil docs should reference glossary terms not PEP 302
by Nick Coghlan 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

New submission from Nick Coghlan: The pkgutil docs still point at PEP 302 when mentioning loaders, importers, etc. They should reference the glossary terms (:term:`loader`, etc) instead. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 212630 nosy: docs@python, ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: pkgutil docs should reference glossary terms not PEP 302 type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20842> _______________________________________

[issue27905] Add documentation for typing.Type
by Michael Lee 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

New submission from Michael Lee: This patch adds some documentation for typing.Type[C]. The content itself is mostly an abbreviated version of the description from PEP 484 -- let me know if the patch is too terse or needs more examples. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: document-type.patch keywords: patch messages: 273974 nosy: docs@python, gvanrossum, michael0x2a priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add documentation for typing.Type versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file44285/document-type.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27905> _______________________________________

[issue27292] Warn users that os.urandom() prior to 3.6 can return insecure values
by STINNER Victor 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

STINNER Victor added the comment: I dislike urandom-doc.v2.patch. There is no need to worry all users. Just be explicit and explain that the issue is specific to Linux and explain when it occurs: before the entropy pool is filled *and* if the system was not able yet to write enough entropy on disk, this thing: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0524/#load-entropy-from-disk-at-boot ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27292> _______________________________________

[issue27292] Warn users that os.urandom() prior to 3.6 can return insecure values
by Nick Coghlan 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Nick Coghlan added the comment: PEP 524 has been implemented for 3.6b1 in #27776, so os.urandom() itself will now do the right thing for cryptographic use cases on Linux. Accordingly, I've removed Python 3.6 from the affected versions for this issue. I've also flagged this as purely a documentation issue, since no behavioural changes are currently proposed for older versions. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation -Library (Lib) nosy: +docs@python, ncoghlan title: Warn users that os.urandom() can return insecure values -> Warn users that os.urandom() prior to 3.6 can return insecure values versions: -Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27292> _______________________________________

[issue23226] Add float linspace recipe to docs
by Andrew Barnert 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

New submission from Andrew Barnert: In a recent thread on python-ideas (https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2015-January/030817.html), it was concluded that Python should not have a range-like type for floats in the stdlib, but there should be some simple discussion of the alternatives in the docs. The attached diff describes the issues, demonstrates the simplest reasonable algorithm, and links to a recipe on ActiveState (which builds the same algorithm into a lazy sequence, and links to other recipes with different alternatives). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: stdtypes.rst.diff keywords: patch messages: 233893 nosy: abarnert, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add float linspace recipe to docs type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37684/stdtypes.rst.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23226> _______________________________________
