[issue33909] PyObject_CallFinalizerFromDealloc is not referenced in any documentation
by Eric Wieser June 21, 2018

June 21, 2018

New submission from Eric Wieser <wieser.eric+pybug(a)gmail.com>: PEP 442 states that: > Two new C API functions are provided to ease calling of tp_finalize, especially from custom deallocators. But it does not give the names of these functions, nor do any python docs I can discover. >From grepping for tp_finalize, it seems the functions in question are: - PyObject_CallFinalizerFromDealloc - PyObject_CallFinalizer It would be great if these could be documented, and perhaps even an example given of when it's appropriate to call each one. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 320036 nosy: Eric.Wieser, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: PyObject_CallFinalizerFromDealloc is not referenced in any documentation versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33909> _______________________________________

I don't know whether it should really be called as "bug" *What I found* >> import numpy as pandas >> It works.... Suggestion: We can use dictionary of installed libraries on a system and can loop over it to find whether post 'as' string is already installed library or not

June 19, 2018

New submission from Andrés Delfino <adelfino(a)gmail.com>: Glossary talks about list access complexity, but the actual list definition doesn't. I think glossary entries should have more information than actual definitions.

[issue28710] Sphinx incompatible markup in configparser.ConfigParser.
by Patrick Lehmann June 18, 2018

June 18, 2018

New submission from Patrick Lehmann: Why does e.g. configparser.ConfigParser contain doc strings with Sphinx incompatible markup? The markup starts with back-tick, but ends with a single quote. Example: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/configparser.py?ts=2#L26 Sphinx writes these messages: D:\git\PoC\py\lib\ExtendedConfigParser\__init__.py:docstring of lib.ExtendedConfigParser.ExtendedConfigParser.read_file:3: WARNING: Inline interpreted text or phrase reference start-str ing without end-string. Note: ExtendedConfigParser is class derived from configparser.ConfigParser. Inherited methods get documented too. ------------------------ Btw. I have some improvements for this class, how can I contribute them? Who is the maintainer for this class? Please contact me: Patrick.Lehmann(a)tu-dresden.de The improved version is available at GitHub: https://github.com/Paebbels/ExtendedConfigParser?ts=2 ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 280907 nosy: Patrick Lehmann, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Sphinx incompatible markup in configparser.ConfigParser. versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28710> _______________________________________
