[issue41997] Docs Standard Library index page has incorrect version in title
by Patrick Reader Oct. 10, 2020

Oct. 10, 2020

New submission from Patrick Reader <pxeger(a)protonmail.com>: The documentation page for the Standard Library, https://docs.python.org/3/library/, still says "Python 3.8.6 documentation" in the title. When visiting https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/ (emphasis on the 3.9) explicitly, the correct title is shown. I suspect there are other pages like this, perhaps ones that have not been modified since Python 3.8.6? This is possibly in fact some sort of bug in Sphinx, but I don't think so. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 378394 nosy: docs@python, pxeger priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Docs Standard Library index page has incorrect version in title versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41997> _______________________________________

[issue24653] Mock.assert_has_calls([]) is surprising for users
by Irit Katriel Oct. 9, 2020

Oct. 9, 2020

Irit Katriel <iritkatriel(a)yahoo.com> added the comment: I agree that the confusion was probably due to assumptions rather than a misreading of the doc, and I would not object to closing this issue. However, Robert did object so I would like to suggest an adjustment that may help: Currently the documentation of assert_not_called is just after that of assert_has_calls. If we reverse their order, then there can be less room for confusion about how to check that nothing was called - you would read that first. https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#unittest.mock.Mock.ass… ---------- nosy: +iritkatriel versions: +Python 3.10, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 -Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue24653> _______________________________________

A few minor issues found in the tutorial
by Vilius Panevėžys Oct. 9, 2020

Oct. 9, 2020

Hi all, I've found the tutorial [1] to be a great resource to start using Python effectively. So in the spirit of leaving the campsite cleaner than you found it I post a few issues that caught my eye. Every issue is prefixed with the number of the tutorial section it pertains to. 5.1 `del` is referenced in description of `list.clear()` before being introduced in section 5.2. 6.3 `dir` prints more names for fibo, output on 3.7.3: >>> dir(fibo) ['__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__spec__', 'fib', 'fib2'] 10.4 Actual output includes the number of bytes written (47), which is omitted in the sample output 10.7 The sample URL (http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/timer.pl) is inaccessible - the sample does not work. 16.1.1 "cause an exit with a nonzero exit" - is "status" missing at the end?

[issue23984] Documentation error: Descriptors

Oct. 8, 2020

New submission from bjonnh: in https://docs.python.org/3.5/howto/descriptor.html#static-methods-and-class-… (same problem in all python 3.x documentations) There is this example where the return of f function is printed and there is already a print in the function: """ >>> class E(object): def f(x): print(x) f = staticmethod(f) >>> print(E.f(3)) 3 >>> print(E().f(3)) 3 """ It should probably be: """ def f(x): return(x) """ or """ >> E.f(3) 3 >> E().f(3) """ ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 241312 nosy: bjonnh, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Documentation error: Descriptors type: enhancement versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23984> _______________________________________

Oct. 8, 2020

New submission from Charles-Axel Dein <charlesaxel.dein(a)gmail.com>: The example for `walk()` in `email.message.EmailMessage` makes use of the `_structure` function but does not clarify how to import it.

[issue34552] Clarify built-in types comparisons
by Windson Yang Oct. 8, 2020

Oct. 8, 2020

New submission from Windson Yang <wiwindson(a)gmail.com>: In https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/stdtypes.html#comparisons "some types (for example, function objects) support only a degenerate notion of comparison where any two objects of that type are unequal." We had some discussion at zulipchat already: "more seriously: I think we can just delete that sentence. The next sentence makes clear that < and friends arne't always defined, and the sentence after that notes that == defaults to is if there's nothing better." - by Nathaniel J. Smith IMO, I think we should also clarify the relationship between "==", "is" and "__eq__". ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 324403 nosy: Windson Yang, docs@python, gvanrossum, njs, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Clarify built-in types comparisons type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34552> _______________________________________
