[issue6055] References to pysqlite in documentation of sqlite3 should be changed.
Georg Brandl ge...@python.org added the comment: pysqlite is an alias of sqlite3; it's developed outside of the core under that name. I agree that this can be confusing, and I've now removed almost all mentions (and qualified the remaining one) in r72801. I will not touch occurrences in source code; this will make syncing with pysqlite unnecessarily hard. -- resolution: - fixed status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6055 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue6055] References to pysqlite in documentation of sqlite3 should be changed.
New submission from Mitchell Model m...@acm.org: Why are there references to pysqlite in the documentation and examples for the sqlite3 module. Was sqlite3 derived from the earlier pysqlite module? Seems to me that all the references to pysqlite should read sqlite3, except maybe in a reworded attribution to the developer. -- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 88037 nosy: MLModel, georg.brandl severity: normal status: open title: References to pysqlite in documentation of sqlite3 should be changed. versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6055 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue6055] References to pysqlite in documentation of sqlite3 should be changed.
Mitchell Model m...@acm.org added the comment: I see that the _sqlite .h and .c files, and the sqlite3/dbapi2.py file, all use pysqlite instead of sqlite3 internally. Should that be changed too, or is there just no point? My main concern is that people relatively new to Python who wouldn't be aware of the long history some modules have and their migration from external packages into the distribution (often with a name change) will be confused by mentions of pysqlite in the documentation. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6055 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
