[issue35649] http.client doesn't close. Infinite loop
by Martin Panter 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Martin Panter <vadmium+py(a)gmail.com> added the comment: This was changed in Python 3.2+ in Issue 16723. The response object no longer sets the “closed” attribute when it runs out of data; it is only set when the “close” method is called. Perhaps the example should be amended so that it checks if “read” returned an empty string, rather than checking “closed”. Another problem with the example is that printing the chunk as a bytes object can trigger BytesWarning. I would add a “repr” call to avoid that. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35649> _______________________________________

[issue35434] Wrong bpo linked in What's New in 3.8
by Josh Rosenberg 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

New submission from Josh Rosenberg <shadowranger+python(a)gmail.com>: https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html#optimizations begins with: shutil.copyfile(), shutil.copy(), shutil.copy2(), shutil.copytree() and shutil.move() use platform-specific “fast-copy” syscalls on Linux, macOS and Solaris in order to copy the file more efficiently. ... more explanation ... (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodola’ in bpo-25427.) That's all correct, except bpo-25427 is about removing the pyvenv script; it should be referencing bpo-33671. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 331264 nosy: docs@python, giampaolo.rodola, josh.r priority: low severity: normal status: open title: Wrong bpo linked in What's New in 3.8 versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35434> _______________________________________

[issue35648] Add use_srcentry parameter to shutil.copytree()
by flokX 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

New submission from flokX <accounts(a)fkcore.de>: Currently it is decided if to use the srcentry in the copy_function by checking if the copy_function is copy() or copy2(). This will fail if the copy_function is a modified copy() or copy2() function. To control if the copy_function gets a srcentry or srcname parameter, added the use_srcentry parameter. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 332923 nosy: docs@python, flokX priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add use_srcentry parameter to shutil.copytree() type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35648> _______________________________________

New submission from Suriyaa Sundararuban <python(a)suriyaa.tk>: Currently there is no code tag for "python3" in the sentence "This will install Python as python3." (Location: https://github.com/python/cpython#build-instructions). I'm working on this small improvement. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 332832 nosy: docs@python, suriyaa priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Missing code tag for "python3" in README.rst versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35630> _______________________________________
