[issue34293] DOC: Makefile inherits a Sphinx 1.5 bug regarding PAPER envvar
by jfbu Sept. 9, 2019

Sept. 9, 2019

New submission from jfbu <jfbu(a)free.fr>: There has been a bug at Sphinx since release 1.5 https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/5234 about wrong handling of PAPER environment variable. The Makefile in Doc/ reproduces the error. As a result the "A4 latex" and "letter latex" sub targets of "dist" mis-behave. A bugfix will be released at Sphinx 1.7.7 or 1.8 but the CPython Doc/Makefile needs an update, because the bugfix can only solve problems for new projects created with sphinx-… [View More]

[issue36502] The behavior of str.isspace() for U+00A0 and U+202F is different from what is documented
by Jun Sept. 9, 2019

Sept. 9, 2019

New submission from Jun <jkuroda.isa(a)gmail.com>: I was looking for a list of Unicode codepoints that str.isspace() returns true. According to https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.isspace, it's "Whitespace characters are those characters defined in the Unicode character database as “Other” or “Separator” and those with bidirectional property being one of “WS”, “B”, or “S”." However, for U+202F(https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/202f/index.htm) which is a "… [View More]

[issue7940] re.finditer and re.findall should support negative end positions
by Serhiy Storchaka Sept. 9, 2019

Sept. 9, 2019

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython(a)gmail.com> added the comment: Note that changing the current behavior is a breaking change. For example someone can use `pattern.findall(text, curpos-50, curpos+50)` to search in the range ±50 characters from the current position. If negative positions change meaning, this will break a code for curpos < 50. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue7940> _______________________________________

[issue7940] re.finditer and re.findall should support negative end positions
by Zachary Ware Sept. 9, 2019

Sept. 9, 2019

Zachary Ware <zachary.ware(a)gmail.com> added the comment: Ezio requested further opinions, so here's mine. I don't think the current behavior makes sense; I doubt anyone actually expects a negative index to be squashed to 0, especially for endpos. I'm not certain that allowing negative indexes is really necessary, but seems nicer than raising an exception which would be the other acceptable option to me. ---------- nosy: +zach.ware _______________________________________ Python … [View More]

[issue18576] Rename and document test.script_helper as test.support.script_helper
by Nick Coghlan Sept. 9, 2019

Sept. 9, 2019

New submission from Nick Coghlan: tests.script_helper provides various utilities for sensibly testing scripts in a subprocess. It isn't easy for CPython developers to discover, since it is isn't documented and the file is mixed in with actual tests in the main test directory. As discussed in #15494, it should be: 1. Moved from Lib/test/ to Lib/test/support (and imports in tests adjusted accordingly) 2. Documented in Doc/library/test.rst These changes should be made on both the 3.3 and … [View More]

by Decorater Sept. 9, 2019

Sept. 9, 2019

New submission from Decorater: I realized the Windows docs lacked some information so I added it. I will try to create an cherry pick for 3.6 and 3.6 as well. Also if desired I could also see if it can be applied to the 2.7 branch as well. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 292005 nosy: Decorater, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Added missing things to Windows docs. versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 … [View More]
