Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mike Brown (mike_j_brown) >Assigned to: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Summary: W3C <-> Python DOM type mapping docs need updating Initial Comment: I believe the information at http://docs.python.org/lib/dom-type-mapping.html is outdated; most if not all boolean return values, at least in minidom, are handled as BooleanType, not IntegerType. This should be standard. Sorry, I don't have a patch to submit for this. Should be an easy fix though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Date: 2006-06-03 16:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11375 Martin, you probably need to make a pronouncement on this. The DOM mapping is supposed to be derived from the IDL mapping for Python, which predates Booleans, but methods such as hasChildNodes() return True/False. I can see at least three answers: 1) Booleans are subtypes of integers, so the docs are not wrong. 2) The docs are wrong and should say Boolean. 3) The methods should be returning regular 0 and 1, not True and False, and should be changed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1495229&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
