What is the reason for this one to languish for over a year now?

Maybe because few people are concerned by the cgi module?

Lack of proper patch?

It would help to have a patch attached to the issue, and a review of the patch. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue11352 _______________________________________

Hynek Schlawack added the comment: That’s not a patch. :) Posting whole files makes them very hard to review because you can’t spot the changes. The best thing would be to get a fresh clone of the repo: http://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html#setup , copy your edited file to the appropriate place and run `hg diff`. If it looks okay, redirect the output into a file (something like `hg diff >cgi-doc-update.patch`) and attach it to this issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue11352 _______________________________________

Pierre Quentel added the comment: Thanks Senthil I spot a typo in the first modified paragraph : "cet" instead of "set" ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue11352 _______________________________________

Senthil Kumaran added the comment: I have made the suggested specific changes, but while reviewing the entire doc, I realized that much improvements can be made. Keeping the documentation more helpful aligned with the cgi.py APIs. I shall keep bug report to update the cgi docs further. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue11352 _______________________________________

Pierre Quentel added the comment: I attach a new version after sharing thought with Glenn CGI scripts are still unable to define which encoding to use to print the strings received from the user agent. A patch was proposed #11066 but the issue is still pending. The new version documents this issue ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file25519/cgi-doc.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue11352 _______________________________________

Jim Jewett added the comment: What is the status of this? Have any of the changes been applied? Are any of the other patches still appropriate? Is this now dependent on any other issues/any non-doc updates? ---------- nosy: +Jim.Jewett _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue11352 _______________________________________

Jim Jewett added the comment: I have now also looked at cgi-doc.patch, and it is not strictly documentation changes. I have no informed opinion on the the additional changes, but I don't think they should go in as "doc change". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue11352 _______________________________________

Matthew Atkinson added the comment: Hi I've modified Pierre's patch to apply to the latest 3.5 and 3.4, and made the most of the simple changes suggested in http://bugs.python.org/review/11352/#ps4792 . I've also added all the non internal parameters to the FieldStorage constructor, and descriptions of them.
