Example doesn't work
by Alex Barr May 7, 2020

May 7, 2020

I'm learning on Python 3.8 (32-bit) on a Windows-10 machine. In Section 4.2. for Statements, the second example "Iterate over a copy" fails in practice. >>> for user, status in users.copy().items(): ... if status == 'inactive': ... del users[user] ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'users' is not defined >>> >>> active_users = {} >>> for user, status in users.items(): ... if status == 'active': ... active_users[user] = status ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'users' is not defined >>>

typo in python 3 tp_setattro description

May 7, 2020

The tp_setattro description here: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/typeobj.html#c.PyTypeObject.tp_setattro defines the return type of the method as PyObject * when it is in fact "int" Please correct Thanks - Rob DISCLAIMER: This e-mail message and any attachments are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential or legally privileged.

[issue40539] Docs - difflib.SequenceMatcher quick_ratio and real_quick_ratio improved docs
by Lewis Ball May 7, 2020

May 7, 2020

New submission from Lewis Ball <lrjball(a)gmail.com>: Currently the docs for `difflib.SequenceMatcher.quick_ratio()` just says 'Return an upper bound on ratio() relatively quickly', which doesn't give much of an idea about how that upper bound is calculated. `real_quick_ratio` has similarly brief documentation. I'll raise a PR shortly to add a more verbose description to each of these ratios, so that it is clear when each should be used. My current suggestions would be: quick_ratio Return an upper bound on ratio() relatively quickly. This is the highest possible ratio() given these letters, regardless of their order. real_quick_ratio Return an upper bound on ratio() very quickly. This is the highest possible ratio() given the lengths of a and b, regardless of their letters. i.e. 2*(min(len(a), len(b))/(len(a) + len(b)) ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 368305 nosy: Lewis Ball, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Docs - difflib.SequenceMatcher quick_ratio and real_quick_ratio improved docs type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40539> _______________________________________
