Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Collin Winter (collinwinter) Assigned to: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Summary: Update documentation for __builtins__ Initial Comment: If applied, this patch would explicitly tell users that they should be using __builtin__ to override built-in functions, rather than __builtins__. The patch would also add documentation clairifying that __builtins__ is a module when in __main__ and a dictionary anywhere else. This diff was made against dist/src/Doc/ref/ref4.tex, version 1.38 from CVS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Date: 2006-06-10 16:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3066 Interestingly, your patch gets the sense which object is bound to __builtins__ in what context reversed. I've modified the patch a bit to correct that and make the warning about direct use of __builtins__ visually stronger (at least in the HTML format). Committed to the trunk as revision 46826, and to the Python 2.4.x maintenance branch as revision 46828. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1303595&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
