3.12.7 PDF Python Documentation missing PDF (US-Letter paper size)
by David Lambert 03 Oct '24

03 Oct '24

Hello, Currently, on https://docs.python.org/3/download.html, the only option for the PDF version of the Python Documentation set is A4, letter is not available. Normally, like on https://docs.python.org/3.11/download.html, the table on the web page lists "PDF (US-Letter paper size)" and "PDF (A4 paper size)". David Lambert 408-768-0924

#CGP# Documentation bugs
by Rajeswar, Sp 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Hi Team, I was going through the python documentation at the below link. From 3.1.1. Numbers Second block of example, last command line entry >>> 5 * 3 + 2 # floored quotient * divisor + remainder The comment is somewhat misleading! Shouldn't it be like 'integer * integer + integer'. The other comments are in support respective operations and well written.

%V not related to %Y when using strftime on a datetime object?
by Vanesa Močilnik 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

Hi, Could you please check this out, I think there's a mistake here. When using datetime.strptime("01/01/2021", "%m/%d/%Y").strftime("%Y.%V"), I get 2021.53 back, although it should be 2020.53, if I understand correctly? Because otherwise we get the last week of the new year, although the date should belong to the last week of the previous year? Thanks, Vanesa

heapq documentation: https://docs.python.org/3.11/library/heapq.html It contains the following line: This implementation uses arrays for which heap[k] <= heap[2*k+1] and heap[k] <= heap[2*k+2] for all *k*, counting elements from zero. heap[k] >= heap[2*k+1] If like to apologise in advance if this is wrong and a waste of your precious time. ☺️

Hi docs: Email purpose: Documentation Bug Documentation Bug Location: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html Location on Page: - Section 3.2: First Steps Towards Programming - Bullet Point 2: False Statement: - ...In Python, like in C, any non-zero integer value is true; zero is false. The condition may also be a string or list value, in fact any sequence; anything with a non-zero length is true, empty sequences are false... Truthy Statement: - ...In Python, like in C, all integer values other than 1 are false: 1 == True is true, all others are false. The sequence statement is always false. I hope this was the correct venue for sending in docs bugs. If not [this](https://docs.python.org/3/bugs.html#using-the-tracker) page is not quite explicit enough for where this information needs to be logged. If I am incorrect, please set me straight.

Bug in the json library.
by Tom McCavana 05 Jul '24

05 Jul '24

To whom it may concern, I have found a bug with the standard json library. ``` Python 3.10.12 (main, Nov 20 2023, 15:14:05) [GCC 11.4.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import json >>> it = json.loads("6.77") >>> type(it) <class 'float'> ``` Why would the json library parse a str and convert it to a float? Expected behaviour - Error as it should with any malformed json ``` >>> it = json.loads("{6.77") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.10/json/__init__.py", line 346, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/json/decoder.py", line 337, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/json/decoder.py", line 353, in raw_decode obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx) json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 1 column 2 (char 1) ``` Kind regards, Tom

csv.reader

Hi, in the docs for the csv package, csv.QUOTE_NOTNULL is described as "Instructs reader objects to interpret an empty (unquoted) field as None and to otherwise behave as QUOTE_ALL", but the reader behavior of csv.QUOTE_ALL is not described in the doc.

Typo in Python documentation
by Kass, Michael [US-US] 31 May '24

31 May '24

https://docs.python.org/3/library/contextlib.html I've got it set to English, 3.12.3. The "up" after "cleanup" should be deleted. ExitStack<https://docs.python.org/3/library/contextlib.html#contextlib.ExitStack> makes it possible to instead register a callback for execution at the end of a with statement, and then later decide to skip executing that callback: from contextlib import ExitStack with ExitStack() as stack: stack.callback(cleanup_resources) result = perform_operation() if result: stack.pop_all() This allows the intended cleanup up behaviour to be made explicit up front, rather than requiring a separate flag variable.

HTML docs
by Octavio Bustos 25 May '24

25 May '24

Hello, I see that the HTML files are able to be downloaded as a zip. How exactly can these be opened on your local machine? Would I need to host these docs on a server to view them? I have the pandas docs downloaded butt when i try to host them the search button does not work.
