Time module Cheet Sheet
by Karox 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

Hello, I was reading Python documentation and testing time module/library and I saw that the time documentation doesn't have capital %D which makes the code view pattern like MM/DD/YY Since I don't know if it's a bug or just a mistake that this directive wasn't put in the table. Or maybe I misread something and it should be like it is. I attach the code down below Best Regards, Karox import time time_object = time.localtime() print(time_object, "\n") vv local_time = time.strftime("%B %d %Y %H:%M:%S", time_object) print(local_time, "\n") vv local_time = time.strftime("%B %D %Y %H:%M:%S %M", time_object) print(local_time, "\n") # OUTPUT: time.struct_time(tm_year=2023, tm_mon=6, tm_mday=29, tm_hour=21, tm_min=21, tm_sec=48, tm_wday=3, tm_yday=180, tm_isdst=1) June 29 2023 21:21:48 June 06/29/23 2023 21:21:48 21

Potential typo in Profiler docs?
by 2dfkit 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

In the[profiler docs](https://docs.python.org/3/library/profile.html), under the first profiler output example, it says > ... The next line:Ordered by: cumulative time, indicates that the text string in the far right column was used to sort the output. This doesn't appear to make sense, and indeed the example output is sorted by the "cumtime" column, and not by the text string column at the far right. Am I misreading this or is this a typo? Thanks! PS. Sorry I didn't raise a ticket, I'm new and shy about posting in public forums

What happened to the exponent ^ and it's replaced with **?
by Councill, Desurae 25 Jun '23

Good morning, I noticed when coding with the latest version of Python 3.11. the exponent ^ bitwise operator does not compute as an exponent? But, if I’m understanding the methods of computation, ^ operand was expressed as a simplistic approach on a calculator to calculate exponents instead of typing out for example 2 x 2 x 2 x 2. Instead it would be written as 2^4 = 16 2*4 would mean 2 x 4 = 8. 2**4 = ????, I mean I guess this good too. When I am computing this 2^4= the answers takes on addition. And adds the two integers. I checked the documents and I don’t see anything about this mentioned in using the operands in Python. Is there anyway I can get feedback about this? When I was learning Python, this was an included operand in relation to exponent expressions.

Web page / doc improvement

Hi, I want to submit an improvement, not really a bug but it is smth that may help people that need to deal with large csv files In https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html I find in the example the line dialect = csv.Sniffer().sniff(csvfile.read(1024)) while it would be probably better to use smth like: dialect = csv.Sniffer().sniff(csvfile.readline()) because of no magic numbers and cleared rationale behind (I read it as: please try to infer the dialect from the header line of the csv file, which makes a lot of sense) -- Thank you, Best Regards Piergiovanni Bazzana
