regex: match one vs. many
by Sebastian Krämer Feb. 5, 2021

Feb. 5, 2021

Hi, I was reading the documentation on https://docs.python.org/3/howto/regex.html yesterday to solve a regex problem with python. My regex result would match several times (i.e. have several groups) but match() and search() would only give me one hit. I first thought it was my fault because I was using trying to match a group several times with (expr)+ and learned about a common mistake where only the last matched group is returned. Turns out that it was the destinction between match/search returning one Match object and findall/finditer returning several. The information is in the docs but maybe it's helpful to make that a bit clearer. Thanks! Sebastian

[issue43126] IOBase.readlines(0) behaviour is inconsistent with documentation
by Martin Larralde Feb. 4, 2021

Feb. 4, 2021

New submission from Martin Larralde <martin.larralde(a)embl.de>: The documentation for `IOBase.readlines` states that the `hint` optional argument should be used like so (https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase.readlines): > Read and return a list of lines from the stream. hint can be specified to control the number of lines read: no more lines will be read if the total size (in bytes/characters) of all lines so far exceeds hint. So in the case where `hint` is null, I would expect `readlines` to return an empty list. However, this is neither the case for `io.BytesIO` nor for `io.FileIO`: ``` import io io.BytesIO(b"abc\ndef\nghi\n").readlines(0) # this evaluates to [b"abc\n", b"def\n", b"ghi\n"] ``` If this is the intended behaviour, the documentation should be updated, otherwise the code from the `io` module should be fixed. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 386484 nosy: althonos2, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: IOBase.readlines(0) behaviour is inconsistent with documentation type: behavior versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43126> _______________________________________

[issue763043] unable to specify another compiler
by Steve Dower Feb. 3, 2021

Feb. 3, 2021

Steve Dower <steve.dower(a)python.org> added the comment: Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered for distutils. If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools ---------- nosy: +steve.dower resolution: -> out of date stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue763043> _______________________________________

[issue43117] Translation Mistakes

Feb. 3, 2021

New submission from chen-y0y0 <cyy144881(a)icloud.com>: A example in this picture: In the red circles, the texts should not be translated. They should be their original states. Because these texts are options that programmers will input into their programs. If these texts are translated and input by that, the program will raise an error. In the green circke, the texts are not translated. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: 1E42294E-CA8F-4CAC-9AA7-79F3B05EE9D1.jpeg messages: 386209 nosy: docs@python, prasechen priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Translation Mistakes type: behavior versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file49787/1E42294E-CA8F-4CAC-9AA7-79F3B05EE9D1.jpeg _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43117> _______________________________________

[issue43082] descriptor howto: typo in "Definition and introduction"
by diegoe Feb. 3, 2021

Feb. 3, 2021

New submission from diegoe <diegoe(a)gnome.org>: In https://docs.python.org/3.10/howto/descriptor.html#definition-and-introduct… The paragraph reads: """ Definition and introduction In general, a descriptor is an attribute value that has one of the methods in the descriptor protocol. Those methods are __get__(), __set__(), and __delete__(). If any of those methods are defined for an the attribute, it is said to be a descriptor. """ I believe it should be either "an attribute" or "the attribute" in the last sentence. Probably missed it because both options would read fine. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 386011 nosy: diegoe, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: descriptor howto: typo in "Definition and introduction" type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43082> _______________________________________
