Questions regarding the permission to translate the documentation of Python
by CodingBeacon Support Team 05 Jul '18

05 Jul '18

Hi there, I am the admin of my website https://codingbeacon.com. My website is aimed to provide guidance for new college student to learn Computer Science and develop a career on it. Recently, I plan to translate the official documentation of Python (https://docs.python.org/) into Chinese. However, I am wondering can I have your permission to translate your documentation and put it on my website with the reference to the source page? Thanks Tongze Wang

Installation for Newbs
by Donald Coho 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

If programming and network administration credentials are required to install Python then the download should be qualified. Repeat: Newbs should be effectually 'locked out' /before /initiating download. At https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#installation-steps The following is the worst example of an instruction from a disdainful expert from the Linux or Windows programming world: ..."*or set the registry value **|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem@LongPathsEnabled|**to **|1|**.*" Newbs don't understand the expert's '@' syntax. They shouldn't experience the frustration of downloading and running the install routine, only to find that nothing functions properly on their machine. What's required is to navigate to the following folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem and to create a new key. THIS KEY DOES NOT PRE-EXIST with a non-unity value. The new key name is /LongPathsEnabled/. It's type is /DWORD (32-bit) value. /After creation, its value must be modified to 1. There is a critical difference between a /geek /and a /nerd/. The *boldfaced *instruction was written by a *NERD*. Respectfully submitted, Donald E Coho --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[issue34015] doc Add link to Descriptor HowTo Guide in Data Model
by Andrés Delfino 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

New submission from Andrés Delfino <adelfino(a)gmail.com>: IMHO, it would be useful to make the Descriptor HowTo Guide more discoverable. As far as I can see, we are not linking to it from anywhere except the HOWTO index. Section 3.3.2.2., "Implementing Descriptors", in "Data Model" seems to be the most appropriate place. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 320821 nosy: adelfino, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: doc Add link to Descriptor HowTo Guide in Data Model type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34015> _______________________________________
