New submission from Alex Willmer: issue13211 added a .reason attribute to urllib2.HTTPError in Python 2.7, issue16634 documented it (http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/deb60efd32eb). The documentation for Python 2.7 doesn't mention that this attribute was added in that release. This (at least weakly) implies it's available to use in previous 2.x releases. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: HTTPError.reason-versionadded.diff keywords: patch messages: 204465 nosy: docs@python, moreati priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: urllib2.HTTPError.reason is not documented as "Added in 2.7" type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file32855/HTTPError.reason-versionadded.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue19796 _______________________________________
