[issue32412] help() of bitwise operators should mention sets as well
by Steven D'Aprano Dec. 23, 2017

Dec. 23, 2017

New submission from Steven D'Aprano <steve+python(a)pearwood.info>: If you ask for help on the set operators ^ & and | then help docs only talk about them as bitwise operators. Since sets and frozensets are important, built-in types, the help should mention them as well. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 308946 nosy: docs@python, steven.daprano priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: help() of bitwise operators should mention sets as well type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32412> _______________________________________

"Socket Programming HOWTO" by Gordon McMillan is the worst
by Michael Dec. 21, 2017

Dec. 21, 2017

howto-sockets.pdf is so terrible that I feel obliged to report it! It is not a technical howto, but a ridiculous talk-show. How could this be an official Python document? -- Sincerely Yours, Michael

[issue28942] await expressions in f-strings
by Adam Gregory Dec. 21, 2017

Dec. 21, 2017

New submission from Adam Gregory: Hi, I've been playing with f-strings, which seem like a great addition to the language. I noticed in the definition of f_expression that it can include any or_expr. As far as I understand, this includes "await" expressions, so I tried using await inside an f-string in a coroutine with CPython 3.6.0b4. This produces a SyntaxError. Should await be allowed in f-strings? I don't know if this is a bug or a documentation issue. Personally, I think it would be an occasionally useful feature - more so than yield, at least, which does work.
