Subject: [Doc-SIG] hotshot example code doesn't work
Message-ID: <54b165660701020822o15ea5fe6o26aa0895e6a3e55d@mail.gmail.com>

Hello All,

I hope this is the appropriate place to post about a python
documentation bug. The hotshot example code is slightly wrong:
http://docs.python.org/lib/hotshot-example.html

This peice of code will not work (anymore?):
benchtime, stones = prof.runcall(test.pystone.pystones)

It will raise this error:
TypeError: unpack non-sequence

The documentation for "runcall" says that the return is the return
from the function. Not a two item tuple.


I also noticed while subscribing to this list that the entire
subscriber list is open to the public:
http://mail.python.org/mailman/roster/doc-sig

Can you disable this please? Otherwise I will need to unsubscribe shortly.

Thanks,
Brian Cole

It works for me in python 2.4.3.

That's right, but the return from test.pystone.pystones() is a 2-tuple.

If it was open, it's been fixed. Currently it's only available to the
list admin.

In case you haven't heard through other channels, PyCon 2007 is being
held in Addison, Texas (near Dallas), February 23-25, 2007. A tutorial
day precedes the conference on the 22nd, and 4 days of development
sprints follow. Early-bird registration ends on January 15th, just a
few days from now. I encourage you to attend. More info is here:
http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/

I will be there throughout. I'm giving a tutorial, "Code Like a
Pythonista: Idiomatic Python", and there are many others to choose
from. I will also coach a Docutils sprint, and there are many other
sprint topics to choose from as well.
