Sandro Tosi <sandro.tosi(a)gmail.com> added the comment: Hello, attached is a patch to improve the OptionGroup documentation. I've also changed usage->Usage and options->Options in the examples output, since now the code tries to guess the lower case word and rewrites with the capitalized one. I'm willing to improve the patch in case there's something not good (and I bet there is, since it's my first complex patch for Python documentation) so please be nice :) and point me to parts that can be improved. Thanks in advance, Sandro ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file19051/issue1665333-py3k.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1665333> _______________________________________

PDF files of python docs have text missing
by Amber Jain 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hello, I'm new to python and I was planning to print the official python tutorial: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/index.html. So, I went over to Download page: http://docs.python.org/download.html and downloaded the PDF file. But the PDF have some missing text due to width of page being less than number of chars to put on a line. For example, please have a look at page-21 (Section 3.1.3 titled "Unicode Strings"). It has an incomplete line from HTML documentation. Here's a screenshot of what I see (and mean): http://amberj.devio.us/pub/screenshots/pdfdoc.png There's a line somewhere in the middle of screenshot which goes out of boundary of PDF document and fails to put out-of-boundary text on newline. >From what I had read, it seems that this happens only with 'code snippets' in tutorial. This is probably a problem with convertor (HTML to PDF?). Can you guys please fix it? Thanks a lot. -- Amber Jain i.amber.jain(a)gmail.com http://amberj.devio.us/

[issue9666] 'hasattr' fix to suppress only AttributeError
by Yury Selivanov 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

New submission from Yury Selivanov <yselivanov(a)gmail.com>: As discussed on python-dev mailing list (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-August/103178.html), 'hasattr' default behaviour should be changed to suppress only AttributeError exceptions. Other should pass through. The fix, however, shouldn't change behaviour of existing C API, functions PyObject_HasAttr and PyObject_HasAttrString in particular. I'm targeting this issue on Python 3.2 version, but probably it may be introduced in the next Python 3.1 maintenance release. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) files: hasattr.patch keywords: patch messages: 114767 nosy: Yury.Selivanov, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: 'hasattr' fix to suppress only AttributeError type: behavior versions: Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file18622/hasattr.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9666> _______________________________________

Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren(a)mac.com> added the comment: I've applied the documentation patch that Ned suggests in r I'm furthermore closing this issue as "Won't Fix" because the OSA bindings are no longer developed and we'll therefore not implement the new feature that Jack mentions. ---------- nosy: +ronaldoussoren resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue812750> _______________________________________
