Can't download documentation for Python 3.10.1
by Susanne Pedersen 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

Hello, I’ve been trying to download the documentation for Python 3.10.1 several times. However, none of the downloads are available, no matter what format or package type, I select. Every attempt results in a 404 error. I was particularly interested in the plain text version of the documents. Is there any way, I can get it? Best regards, Susanne Pedersen

doc for sched even sceduler
by Goldman, Jay - 0551 - MITLL 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

The example in the documentation is a little misleading as it tries to show 2 different aspects of the scheduler (priority vs positional/kwargs) with the same code lines: It has the following: s.enter(5, 2, print_time, argument=(‘positional’,)) s.enter(5, 1, print_time, kwargs={‘a’: ‘keyword’}) but in fact, the line with priority 2 will actually run before the line with priorty 1 as the actual time to run for each of them is different. I think the following (code inside print_some_times method) would be better: … tt = time.time() print(tt) s.enter(10, 1, print_time) s.enterabs((tt+5), 2, print_time, argument=(‘positional’,)) s.enterabs((tt+5), 1, print_time, kwargs={‘a’: ‘keyword’}) … ____________________________ Jay Goldman Subcontractor MIT Lincoln Laboratory Cyber-Physical Systems 244 Wood Street Lexington, MA 02420 Phone (Office): 781-981-0649 Email: jay.goldman(a)ll.mit.edu<mailto:jay.goldman@ll.mit.edu>

A documentation suggestion
by Peter Aronoff 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

Hi, First of all, thank you! Python has remarkable documentation, and I appreciate all the work that people have put into it over the years. Here’s my suggestion: I think it would be great if you released a tutorial-only version of the EPUB. The current EPUB contains 66 pages of changes to Python (going all the way back to Python 3.5) before the tutorial, and I bet that many people would love an EPUB that contained only the tutorial. As a second reason, the current EPUB is so large that searching within it is difficult. Best, Peter

UUID module documentation inconsistent
by Charles Lehman 01 Nov '22

01 Nov '22

The uuid module includes a namespace identifier for NAMESPACE_X500 which states that the name may be in DER format (a binary format), but the documentation for uuid.uuid3 and uuid.uuid5 both state that a name must be a string. Issue gh-94684 has a commit that fixes uuid3 and uuid5 to be compliant with RFC 4122 (i.e., to accept a bytes object), but it doesn't appear to have made it into the recent 3.11 release. Regardless, the documentation for NAMESPACE_X500, though apparently copied from the RFC, does not describe the current implementation.

Bugs in documentation
by Olga Kozlova 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

Hi! I want to report bug in dis documentation. Firstly, in the FOR_ITER (https://docs.python.org/release/3.10.6/library/dis.html#opcode-FOR_ITER) the byte counter is not incremented by delta, but become delta. Secondly, it is not obviously that you should take i-th element from the top of stack in operations like (SET_ADD https://docs.python.org/release/3.10.6/library/dis.html#opcode-SET_ADD) With respect, Olga Kozlova

Minor documentation bugs related to expressions and the assignment expression
by Denilson Sá Maia 05 Oct '22

05 Oct '22

Hello! I was looking at https://docs.python.org/3.10/reference/expressions.html and I found a few minor opportunities for improvements: 1. Lowest priority? At section 6.13, it says: “Conditional expressions (sometimes called a “ternary operator”) have the lowest priority of all Python operations.” However, further down below in the "6.17. Operator precedence" section, the if-else expression has higher precedence than both lambda and walrus. Maybe those two are not technically "operations", but since they are under operator precedence, they are operations. It's confusing, and it's a minor detail, but still worth fixing. 2. Indexing the walrus operator If you look at the main index: https://docs.python.org/3.10/genindex-all.html You can find most operators, but you can't find the walrus operator. Try Ctrl+F and search for "walrus", ":=", "named expression", "assignment expression", "assignment"→"expression". You can't find them anywhere in the index. Sure, you can find them at the main search page: https://docs.python.org/3.10/search.html?q=walrus Again, a minor issue, but still worth fixing. And since I know the walrus operator is new, I wonder if any of the newer sections of the documentation could also suffer from the same issue.
