by Alex Willmer May 28, 2020

May 28, 2020

New submission from Alex Willmer <alex(a)moreati.org.uk>: Until Python 3.8 hmc.new() defaulted the digestmod argument to 'hmac-md5'. This was deperecated, to be removed in Python 3.8. In Python 3.8.0b1 it is gone, e.g. Python 3.8.0b1 (default, Jun 6 2019, 03:44:52) [GCC 7.4.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import hmac >>> hmac.new(b'qwertyuiop').name Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.8/hmac.py", line 146, in new return HMAC(key, msg, digestmod) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/hmac.py", line 49, in __init__ raise ValueError('`digestmod` is required.') ValueError: `digestmod` is required. but the deprecation note, and the documented signature haven't been updated.

New submission from Joannah Nanjekye <nanjekyejoannah(a)gmail.com>: I just noticed that PyThreadState_DeleteCurrent()in Python/pystate.c is not documented.

[issue27779] Sync-up docstrings in C version of the the decimal module
by Raymond Hettinger May 27, 2020

May 27, 2020

New submission from Raymond Hettinger: The pure python version of decimal has extensive docstrings with text and explanatory examples drawn directly from the decimal arithmetic specification. Those should all be copied to the C version as well. This will improve usability for interactive use and improve help(). I would like to leave this work for one of the new aspiring core devs (perhaps Elizabeth, Lisa, or Nofar). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 272875 nosy: docs@python, rhettinger priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Sync-up docstrings in C version of the the decimal module versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27779> _______________________________________

May 27, 2020

Matthias Braun <matthiasb(a)fb.com> added the comment: Happy to take the proposed diff here (assuming @belopolsky wont mind) and include it into a pull request that also renames the uses of the READONLY flags (and maybe removes the RESTRICTED flags) within cpython source itself. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue2897> _______________________________________

[issue2897] Deprecate structmember.h
by STINNER Victor May 27, 2020

May 27, 2020

STINNER Victor <vstinner(a)python.org> added the comment: Also, the bare minimum enhancement would be add rename READONLY to PY_READONLY, but keep a deprecated alias READONLY to PY_READONLY, and update CPython code base to use PY_READONLY. (Same for other similar flags.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue2897> _______________________________________
