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: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Brian Wellington (bwelling) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: missing int->Py_ssize_t in documentation Initial Comment: The "Parsing arguments and building values" section of the Python/C API Reference Manual describes the "s#" format unit as requiring a [const char *, int]. This should presumably be a Py_ssize_t, as that's what the code appears to expect. The same problem also occurs elsewhere in this page; pretty much everywhere the # format modifier is described. I'm seeing this in both the 2.5.1 and development versions of the docs on docs.python.org. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2007-06-02 09:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Originator: NO It's more complicated than that, see PEP 353: It's Py_ssize_t if the module defines PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN, else it's int. Would you like to work on a patch fixing the documentation? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1729742&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
