[issue27362] json.dumps to check for obj.__json__ before raising TypeError

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: This could fix other issues: * issue16535 -- for Decimal. * issue20774 -- for deque. * issue24313 -- for NumPy numeric types. * issue26263 -- for array. Currently the blessed way of JSON encoder customization is to implement the default method in

Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Here's a link to the feature request for Ruby, https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10600 . It looks like the feature was implemented without examining any concrete use cases. A quick code search on Github did not reveal any cases where the feature was ever

Nick Coghlan added the comment: Added 2.7 to the list of affected versions. Clearly my 2's-complement arithmetic is incredibly rusty, as for some reason I was thinking "~(-sys.maxint-1)" could overflow, but no, the answer to that is just "sys.maxint" :) -- versions: +Python 2.7

New submission from Adam: The docs for heapq.merge are a little misleading. Iterables passed into heapq.merge with the reversed flag set to True must be sorted from largest to smallest to achieve the desired sorting effect, but the paragraph describing the function in the general case states

[issue13986] ValueError: cannot convert float NaN to integer

David Robins added the comment: I saw a similar error with Python 3.6 on a MIPS (32-bit - mipsisa32r2el-axis-linux-gnu) platform, but during interpreter startup, not install (perhaps because it was cross-compiled so install on the host doesn't run the target Python). It was due to building

[issue27593] Deprecate sys._mercurial and create sys._git

Steve Dower added the comment: I just did my build for 3.6.1rc1 and it looks like `git name-rev --name-only --tags HEAD` returns "3.6.1rc1^0" for some reason. Perhaps "git describe" is the better command to use here? From what I've seen of that, it should do "tag if tagged, else short hash"

[issue27593] Deprecate sys._mercurial and create sys._git

Brett Cannon added the comment: git actually does not always shorten to 7 characters. In git 2.11 (I think) they shorten to the shortest length to guarantee uniqueness. So `git rev-parse --short HEAD` gives a hash of de04644627 which is 10 characters. --
