New submission from Michael Wayne Goodman <goodman....@gmail.com>:
The documentation for xml.parsers.expat.errors.codes says: A dictionary mapping numeric error codes to their string descriptions. But this is backwards. It should say it maps the string descriptions to the error codes. Likewise, the docs for xml.parsers.expat.errors.messages is backwards. The other references to these dictionaries appear correct. For instance, under ExpatError.code: The :mod:`~xml.parsers.expat.errors` module also provides error message constants and a dictionary :data:`~xml.parsers.expat.errors.codes` mapping these messages back to the error codes, see below. This issue appears to be present in the docs for all available versions. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 383481 nosy: docs@python, goodmami priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: xml.parsers.expat.errors description of codes/messages is flipped versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42700> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
