Re: [Python-Dev] subprocess docs patch
Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Please use unified diffs in the future. I'm -0 on this patch; it still has the negative, cautionary-patronizing tone (Do not, can be tricky, be mindful), as if readers are unable to grasp the description that they just read (and indeed, in the patch, you claim that readers *are* unable to understand how command lines work). I know that Raymond Hettinger is very much opposed to this style of documentation. So I, whose native language is not English, cannot approve/apply this patch. Try convincing Raymond.

I'm -0 on this patch; it still has the negative, cautionary-patronizing tone (Do not, can be tricky, be mindful), Thanks to yours and other feedback, I've tried to address this in a newer version of the patch. as if readers are unable to grasp the description that they just read (and indeed, in the patch, you claim that readers *are* unable to understand how command lines work). I don't think I made any statement quite that blunt; however, as the c.l.p threads that drove me to write this patch show, there are indeed some people who don't (correctly) understand the details of command line tokenization. Thanks for responding!

[Python-Dev] subprocess docs patch
Hello mighty Python developers, I was wondering if someone could take a gander at, and hopefully act upon, a patch I submitted a while ago for the subprocess module's docs. It's been languishing in the bug tracker: http://bugs.python.org/issue6760 Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Cheers, Chris -- If life seems jolly rotten. There's something you've forgotten. And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing. ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
