code bug in doc

In section "4.6. Defining Functions" on this page, https://docs.python.org/2.7/tutorial/controlflow.html The code doesn't end with a newline and produces a syntax error due to the >>> prompt at the end of the output. Add another 'print' at the end to correct it. >>>def fib(n): # write Fibonacci series up to n ... """Print a Fibonacci series up to n.""" ... a, b = 0, 1 ... while a < n: ... print a, ... a, b = b, a+b ... print '' or something like that. May also need a note to describe what the comma is doing in the "print a" line. This comma isn't mentioned again until the Input and Output docs in https://docs.python.org/2.7/tutorial/inputoutput.html >>>for x in range(1, 11): ... print repr(x).rjust(2), repr(x*x).rjust(3), ... # Note trailing comma on previous line ... print repr(x*x*x).rjust(4) But the function of the trailing comma is not explained there either. Been holding off of learning a new programming language for quite a while but I may just take the leap with Python this time.

[issue30637] Syntax error reported on compile(...), but not on compile(..., ast.PyCF_ONLY_AST)
by Hrvoje Nikšić Aug. 29, 2017

Aug. 29, 2017

Hrvoje Nikšić added the comment: > Can you suggest a couple of sentences you would have like to have > seen, and where? Thanks, I would suggest to add something like this to the documentation of ast.parse: """ ``parse`` raises ``SyntaxError`` if the compiled source is invalid, and ``ValueError`` if the source contains null bytes. Note that a successful parse does not guarantee correct syntax of ``source``. Further syntax errors can be detected, and ``SyntaxError`` raised, when the source is compiled to a code object using ``compile`` without the ``ast.PyCF_ONLY_AST`` flag, or executed with ``exec``. For example, a lone ``break`` statement can be parsed, but not converted into a code object or executed. """ I don't think the ``compile`` docs need to be changed, partly because they're already sizable, and partly because they don't document individual flags at all. (A reference to the ``ast`` module regarding the flags, like the one for AST objects in the first paragraph, might be a useful addition.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30637> _______________________________________

[issue31295] typo in __hash__ docs
by Antony Lee Aug. 28, 2017

Aug. 28, 2017

New submission from Antony Lee: In https://docs.python.org/3.7/reference/datamodel.html#object.__hash__ I think x.__hash__() returns an appropriate value such that x == y implies both that x is y and hash(x) == hash(y). should be x.__hash__() returns an appropriate value such that x == y and x is y both imply that hash(x) == hash(y). right? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 300961 nosy: Antony.Lee, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: typo in __hash__ docs versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31295> _______________________________________
