[issue42520] add_dll_directory only accepts absolute paths
by Antony Lee Dec. 1, 2020

Dec. 1, 2020

New submission from Antony Lee <anntzer.lee(a)gmail.com>: os.add_dll_directory appears to only accept absolute paths, inheriting this restriction from AddDllDirectory. That's absolutely fine, but could perhaps be mentioned in the docs (https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.add_dll_directory), especially considering that the docs do mention the parallel with `sys.path`, which *does* support relative paths. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 382228 nosy: Antony.Lee, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: add_dll_directory only accepts absolute paths versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42520> _______________________________________

[issue21195] None float format: incomplete documentation
by Eric O. LEBIGOT Dec. 1, 2020

Dec. 1, 2020

New submission from Eric O. LEBIGOT: The documentation for a None (empty) format for floats indicates that it is equivalent to the g format. This does not appear to be correct (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16525924/precise-definition-of-float-str…). The Python 3.4 documentation (https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-l…) seems to be much closer to what Python 2.7 does. It would be useful to have a more correct documentation for the effect of a None format for floats in Python 2.7 (maybe by copying the Python 3.4 documentation if it applies). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 215871 nosy: docs@python, lebigot priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: None float format: incomplete documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21195> _______________________________________
