New submission from Eli Bendersky <eliben@gmail.com>: The comment string above the implementation of _PyBytes_FromStringAndSize in Objects/bytesobject.c starts with: /* For both PyBytes_FromString() and PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(), the parameter `size' denotes number of characters to allocate, not counting any null terminating character. This is misleading since PyBytes_FromString() has no 'size' parameter. The problem also exists for PyString in Python 2.x ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 131750 nosy: docs@python, eli.bendersky priority: low severity: normal status: open title: misleading comment on PyBytes_FromStringAndSize versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11634> _______________________________________
