Regex documentation terminology correction
by Colton Toscher 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

The documentation for regex mentions (multiple times) “qualifiers”. In regex, these are actually called “quantifiers”. These pages includes such references: * https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html * https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html * https://docs.python.org/dev/_sources/library/re.txt Any other programming language uses the terminology of “quantifier” (as seen below). * https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/quantifiers-in-… * https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/regex/quant.html * https://perlmaven.com/regex-quantifiers * https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_regexp_nxy.asp * http://php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.repetition.php Best regards, Colton Toscher | I.T.

[issue31811] async and await missing from keyword list in lexical analysis doc
by Colin Dunklau 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

New submission from Colin Dunklau <colin.dunklau(a)gmail.com>: I see that code making async/await real keywords has been merged, but it looks like Doc/reference/lexical_analysis.rst doesn't have those added https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/4a2d00c/Doc/reference/lexical_analys… Is that list autogenerated somehow or was it just overlooked? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 304583 nosy: Colin Dunklau, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: async and await missing from keyword list in lexical analysis doc type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31811> _______________________________________

[issue29179] Py_UNUSED is not documented
by Petr Viktorin 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

New submission from Petr Viktorin: The Py_UNUSED macro, which was added in Python 3.4, is not documented. Is this an omission, or is it undocumented on purpose? I can prepare a patch if it's the former.

[issue11253] autodocument first appearance of ctypes.wintypes constants
by anatoly techtonik 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

New submission from anatoly techtonik <techtonik(a)gmail.com>: I've just noticed that my application is incompatible with Python 2.5, because ctypes.wintypes is missing SHORT constants. However, I can't find the information when these symbols were introduced first. To prevent such confusion in future it would be nice to extract symbol information for each Python release and automatically include the version of the first appearance in documentation. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 128893 nosy: docs@python, techtonik priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: autodocument first appearance of ctypes.wintypes constants versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11253> _______________________________________

[issue31968] exec(): method's default arguments from dict-inherited globals
by R. David Murray 07 Nov '17

07 Nov '17

R. David Murray <rdmurray(a)bitdance.com> added the comment: Yes, that's the way it works (and is intended to work, for performance reasons). The documentation on this could be improved...while it does say globals must be a dict and that locals can be any mapping object, it does it in a sentence that is a bit confusing in this context, and it doesn't make it clear that it has to be a "real" dict, not a subclass. (I wouldn't be surprised if that sentence was written back when you couldn't subclass dict.) ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, r.david.murray versions: +Python 3.7 -Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31968> _______________________________________
