Consultation: Free publication of the Chinese simplified version of python documents, whether I need to be authorized
by 蒋德鑫 May 22, 2019

May 22, 2019

Dear Sir / Madam， I am writing a letter to you. I want to know if I translate the python's document into Chinese and publish it freely. Do I need to be authorized? Thank you for taking the time to check this email. Hope to receive your reply as soon as possible.

[issue24653] Mock.assert_has_calls([]) is surprising for users
by Serhiy Storchaka May 22, 2019

May 22, 2019

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython(a)gmail.com> added the comment: alist.extend([]) is also a special case, but it is not explicitly documented, because it is not exceptional. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue24653> _______________________________________

Clean up dead links in the docs
by Ashwin Vishnu May 22, 2019

May 22, 2019

Hi, I took some time to filter out all the links and check them using cURL with the script attached. The full output (test_links.log) is also attached, and ignoring the links which returned 200, we get: $ grep -v 200 test_links.log https://pythonhosted.org/pyobjc/ 404 https://www.jwz.org/doc/content-length.html 403 https://www.jwz.org/doc/content-length.html 403 https://www.jwz.org/doc/content-length.html 403 http://www.catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-FAQ.html 000 https://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rluserman.html#SEC9 000 http://tcl.activestate.com/ 000 http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XML-RPC-HOWTO/index.html 000 https://www.microsoft.com/com/ 404 http://oldwiki.mingw.org/index.php/Python 0.000000e+00xtensions 404 http://catb.org/~esr/trove/ 000 http://sphinx-doc.org/examples.html 404 https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3.2/Misc/NEWS 504 https://parlab.eecs.berkeley.edu/wiki/_media/patterns/paraplop_g1_3.pdf 500 http://greenteapress.com/semaphores/downey08semaphores.pdf 404 http://hginit.com 000 I think a good majority of the above links are dead. Please find an alternative for those links in the docs. Best, Ashwin Vishnu Mohanan

[issue24653] Mock.assert_has_calls([]) is surprising for users

Inada Naoki <songofacandy(a)gmail.com> added the comment: > I opened the bug because we have evidence that users find the current documentation confusing. Saying that its not confusing to us doesn't fix the confusion. Is there evidence people get confused by the document? I suppose people get confused because they guessed behavior from existing assert_has_calls usages, without reading docs. If they guess without reading doc, adding anything in doc doesn't help them. The document describe well it tests inclusion, not equality. There are no confusion about it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue24653> _______________________________________

[issue24653] Mock.assert_has_calls([]) is surprising for users

Robert Collins <robertc(a)robertcollins.net> added the comment: I'm reopening this because I don't agree. I opened the bug because we have evidence that users find the current documentation confusing. Saying that its not confusing to us doesn't fix the confusion. Why should we mention the special case of an empty set? Because its the only special case. A simple single sentence: "Note: to assert that no calls were made see `assert_not_called`" would probably both cover the special case and direct users to the right place for that use case. ---------- resolution: wont fix -> status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue24653> _______________________________________
