New submission from Stefan Krah <stefan-usenet@bytereef.org>: I think the integer objects documentation could be clearer on a couple of points: - Despite being listed under "Concrete Objects Layer", some functions implicitly accept anything with an __int__() method. Currently only the PyLong_AsLong() documentation states this explicitly. The patch clearly distinguishes between functions that duck type and functions that don't. - The patch replaces "is greater than *_MAX" instances with "out of bounds" to include the other error condition "is less than *_MIN". Additionally, the patch fixes comments in longobject.c that don't state the duck typing behavior. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: longobject-doc.diff keywords: patch messages: 143922 nosy: docs@python, mark.dickinson, skrah priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: longobject: documentation improvements type: feature request versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23133/longobject-doc.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12965> _______________________________________
