New submission from Enrico Zini <enr...@enricozini.org>:
In https://docs.python.org/3.9/c-api/arg.html, in the documentation for parsing argument, there is: s# (str, read-only bytes-like object) [const char *, int or Py_ssize_t] In my amd64 system, `Py_ssize_t` is a different type than `int`, and passing a `Py_ssize_t` causes undefine behaviour. I assume this has been switched to an `int` in the API, and that thisinstance of the documentation has not been updated accordingly. At the bottom of the page in the documentation of `Py_BuildValue`, `s#` is correctly documented as using an `int` and no `Py_ssize_t`, for example. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 346974 nosy: docs@python, enrico priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Incorrect documentation for `s#` arguments in C API argument parsing versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37465> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
