Broken link on docs.python.org
by Karen Woodman 15 Oct '19

15 Oct '19

Hi there, I noticed that you have a broken link to a website called Qmail.org. That site was first published 23 years ago (back in 1996!) but unfortunately, it is no longer a working website. You link to Qmail.org on this page: https://docs.python.org/3/library/mailbox.html We just published an article that explores what happened to the site. I think it's an interesting story, and it could be useful to your readers. In addition, since all of the original articles are gone, we included a curated list of the best Qmail resources and mirrors. Here's the article if you want to take a look: https://www.getmailbird.com/what-resources-are-available-now-that-qmail-org… Would you consider swapping out the broken link for our article? Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for your time. Sincerely, -Karen -- Karen Woodman, Editor 5 Ross Rd Durham, NH 03824 By the way, if you didn't like getting this email you can unsubscribe <http://ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/u?u=3072cf29-f52f…> and I won't email you anymore. :)

[issue38484] HTMLParser.handle_starttag should mention that value can be None
by Sebastian Rittau 15 Oct '19

15 Oct '19

New submission from Sebastian Rittau <srittau(a)rittau.biz>: The documentation for HTMLParser.handle_starttag (https://docs.python.org/3/library/html.parser.html#html.parser.HTMLParser.h…) should mention that the value of an attribute can be `None` for argument-less attributes.

No shlex.join() docs in 3.8?
by Avy Faingezicht 15 Oct '19

15 Oct '19

Hi, I noticed the "What's New in Python 3.8" doc lists a new shlex.join() method, but it seems there are no relevant docs for it under the shlex module's doc. https://docs.python.org/3/library/shlex.html#shlex.join Excited to try out 3.8! Thanks for all the hard work. Best, Avy *Avy Faingezicht* www.faingezicht.com

[issue38235] Docs of logging module says argument is named "lvl". TypeError.
by Daniel Andersson 15 Oct '19

15 Oct '19

New submission from Daniel Andersson <daniel.4ndersson(a)gmail.com>: How to reproduce: >>> import logging >>> logging.disable(lvl=logging.ERROR) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: disable() got an unexpected keyword argument 'lvl' The correct keyword argument name is `level` as can be seen in the Python code Lib/logging/__init__.py: ---> def disable(level=CRITICAL): The documentation uses `lvl`, see Doc/library/logging.rst: ---> .. function:: disable(lvl=CRITICAL) The solution would be to rename the argument from `lvl` to `level` in the documentation. I also noticed some more cases in the logging module docs where `lvl` is used (and `level` is used in the Python code): * logging.Logger.isEnabledFor(lvl) * logging.Logger.log(lvl, msg, *args, **kwargs) * logging.Logger.makeRecord(name, lvl, fn, lno, msg, args, exc_info, func=None, extra=None, sinfo=None) * logging.addLevelName(lvl, levelName) * logging.getLevelName(lvl) Maybe there are some historical reasons for this that I'm not aware about. I also found an inconsistency. In the `Handler` class the docs does use `level`: * logging.Handler.setLevel(level) I can understand that the English in the documentation might be clearer when written as: "Associates level `lvl` with text `levelName`" instead of, "Associates level `level` with text `levelName`" - avoids the double-"level". But at the same time, I usually trust the documentation blindly and was surprised by this error. In the five listed examples above, `lvl` is only used as a positional argument. Maybe it is more OK to deviate from the actual name in the code in this case compared to keyword arguments, as in logging.disable. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 352866 nosy: docs@python, penlect, vinay.sajip priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Docs of logging module says argument is named "lvl".

[issue38401] Make dataclass attribute docstrings accessible
by John Parejko 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

New submission from John Parejko <parejkoj(a)uw.edu>: Dataclasses provide a very straightforward way to specify structured data. One can trivally document a dataclass's attributes via triple-quoted attribute docstrings per PEP 257. However, those docstrings are not accessible to pydoc, so they are lost to users of the dataclass. For example, the attribute docstrings in the below dataclass should be available when looking at `help(SpectralData)`, but that help command does not show the docstrings. ``` @dataclasses.dataclass class SpectralData: """Class to hold data and metadata from a fiber spectrograph.""" wavelength: astropy.units.Quantity """The wavelength array produced by the instrument.""" spectrum: np.ndarray """The flux array in instrumental units.""" duration: float """The duration of the exposure in seconds.""" ``` ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 354154 nosy: John Parejko2, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Make dataclass attribute docstrings accessible type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38401> _______________________________________

Docs contain funky appostrophes and quotes
by Boris Verkhovskiy 06 Oct '19

06 Oct '19

The Python docs have some apostrophes and quotes that should be normal ' and " that are instead using their fancy versions, which is probably not good. Just `sudo apt install ripgrep` and then run rg ” or rg ’ in the root of the CPython source code. The biggest culprit by far is Lib/pydoc_data/topics.py which I guess is generated by Shpinx, but they happen in some other places in the source code and should probably be removed.

[issue38333] add type signatures to library function docs
by paul rubin 03 Oct '19

03 Oct '19

New submission from paul rubin <phr-pythonbugs(a)nightsong.com>: It would be nice if the library reference manual had type signatures for all the stdlib functions at some point. It might be possible to extract a lot of them automatically from typeshed and semi-automatically paste them into the doc files. It might also be ok to do this gradually. I can help with this but wouldn't want to take on the entire task. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 353634 nosy: docs@python, phr priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: add type signatures to library function docs type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38333> _______________________________________
