[issue23116] Python Tutorial 4.7.1: Improve ask_ok() to cover more input values
Carol Willing added the comment: @amylou Thank you for submitting this documentation suggestion about the Python Tutorial. This tutorial section, 4.7.1 Default Argument Values, tries to show that a function can have multiple input arguments which may be given default values. While the suggestion to use lower() does offer more robust input handling, it also adds some complexity to the example by introducing another function to a possibly new user. I do believe that the 'ask_ok' function could be improved by renaming the 'complaint' argument to something more positive, perhaps 'reminder'. I would also recommend replacing the error message 'uncooperative user' to something with a softer tone, perhaps 'invalid user response'. @amyluo If you are interested in working on documentation, section 6 of the Developer Guide is a handy resource (https://docs.python.org/devguide/docquality.html). -- assignee: - docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, willingc ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23116 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue1602] windows console doesn't print or input Unicode
Drekin added the comment: I tried the following code: import pdb pdb.set_trace() print(1 + 2) print(αβγ∫) When run in vanilla Python it indeed ends with UnicodeEncodeError as soon as it hits the line with non-ASCII characters. However, the solution via win_unicode_console package seems to work correctly. There is just an issue when you keep calling 'next' even after the main program ended. It ends with a RuntimeError after a few iterations. I didn't know that pdb can continue debugging after the main program has ended. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1602 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue23153] Clarify Boolean Clause Results
R. David Murray added the comment: I mistyped 'josh' as 'joel', sorry. Ethan covers it pretty well, but I'll add a few things. Boolean operators are indeed not always used in a boolean context. There is a long tradition in Python of using them to return values via the short-circuit mechanism. Python is not the only language that does this. That said, there are disadvantages to that use of boolean operators, and eventually the trinary expression 'x if y else z' was introduced, and is now the preferred way to compute such values. The tutorial has not been updated to reflect that, and that is something that could be done, but probably requires a significant rewrite...someone on irc pointed out that the passage we are discussing is the first introduction of 'or' in the tutorial). However, the short-circuit-and-value-returning behavior of the boolean operators will not change, since it is a long standing part of the language. Your suggestion that this whole thing be discussed more is a valid point, but the question is, is this point in the tutorial the place to do it? Again, a more extensive rewrite is probably needed in order to make a real improvement (a project that is being discussed, whose status I don't know). Finally, the 4.1 text you quote is noting and/or as an exception is talking about the built-in functions and operators. and and or are important exceptions both because their default is different from other logical operations and because, unlike the other python operators, a type cannot override them. Thus they always return a value, whereas other *logical* operations will return a boolean *unless otherwise documented* in the documentation for the type. (I'm not sure there are any exceptions to that in the sdtlib, but there are, for example, in numpy.) Now, that all said, the tutorial section explicitly mentions the behavior of and and or, so I don't see how their being exceptional in this regard is an issue with the tutorial text. If you assigned another logical expression to a variable, you'd get True or False, but in Python's philosophy that's just a special case of the fact that all values in python have a truth value, as discussed by Ethan. So, in summary, I hear you that as an experienced programmer this tutorial section did not give you all the information you wanted. However, it is a *tutorial*, and so it *can't* (and be a readable *tutorial*) cover all the issues. Perhaps it could cover more if it were rewritten, but I don't think changing this section in any of the ways suggested so far would, as it is currently organized, be an improvement. If anyone wants to take another stab at it, though, we'll definitely evaluate it. willingc on IRC suggested adding links to other parts of the docs, for further reading, and that might be worthwhile if someone wants to take a look at making a suggestion in that regard. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23153 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue23156] Update tix install information in tkinter tix chapter of doc
New submission from Terry J. Reedy: Update tix install info in doc. Using tix starts with 3 lines for testing one's tix install and continues '''If this fails, you have a Tk installation problem which must be resolved before proceeding. Use the environment variable TIX_LIBRARY to point to the installed Tix library directory, and make sure you have the dynamic object library (tix8183.dll or libtix8183.so) in the same directory that contains your Tk dynamic object library (tk8183.dll or libtk8183.so). The directory with the dynamic object library should also have a file called pkgIndex.tcl (case sensitive), which contains the line: package ifneeded Tix 8.1 [list load [file join $dir tix8183.dll] Tix]''' Almost nothing above matches my working-with-tix 3.4.2 Win 7 install. I do have a tix library directory: python34/tcl/tix8.4.3, but the version number is much newer.

[issue23153] Clarify Boolean Clause Results

To show how to return a Boolean result from a Boolean clause. If there's a better way, I'm all for it. 2. Most is a generalization. Perhaps Many is a better term? All traditional 3GLs and some other scripting languages don't; e.g. REXX and Beanshell return Boolean. But it's not important here. 3. As I said, or some better method. I've been programming 30 years but am only now learning Python. All I asking for is better clarification in the tutorial. If this were a wiki I would add one myself. Re: Ethan; quote from the line above, same section in the Tutorial: When used as a general value and not as a Boolean, the return value of a short-circuit operator is the last evaluated argument. If this isn't correct, please fix it. And this whole sentence is a bit weird to me - Boolean operators are *always* used in a Boolean context - unless the op is overloaded with some other functionality. Why would it return anything else? (well let's not go there...) Re: R.David Sorry I didn't see any input from Joel. But, yes, this is a tutorial. I argue that using A = (B or C or D) construct is not good, intuitive programming style, anyway. To me this looks like A should hold a Boolean, even only from a pseduocode standpoint. Even so, one wouldn't need to cast a Boolean if a Boolean was returned, as old programmers like me would expect. But, OK, so don't use bool() - but what you said is basically what I'm looking for IN the tutorial - eduction about why a Boolean should NOT be expected. Or how to achieve a Boolean, since it's a valid data type since version 2.3. This is a tutorial, after all. For example, the full documentation for v3.4 section 4.1: Operations and built-in functions that have a Boolean result always return 0 or False for false and 1 or True for true, unless otherwise stated. (Important exception: the Boolean operations or and and always return one of their operands.).

[issue23153] Clarify Boolean Clause Results
Ethan Furman added the comment:
Apologies, my wording was poor -- the last item evaluated is the one returned,
but all items may not be evaluated. As soon as the answer is known Python
stops evaluating any remaining items.
So in the example:
-- string1, string2, string3 = '', 'Trondheim', 'Hammer Dance'
-- string1 or string2 or string3
'Trondheim'
string2 is returned because it satifies the `or` conditions, and string3 is not
evaluated.
Re: John
I appreciate you have many years of programming experience, but there are going
to be differences between what is good practice in those languages and what is
good practice in Python. IMO, the big three differences are:
- white space indentation
- everything is an object (variables, functions, classes, instances,
any piece of data...)
- everything has a truthy of falsey value -- e.g.
-- string1, string2, string3 = '', 'Trondheim', 'Hammer Dance'
-- if string2:
...print('string2 has a value! It is %s' % string2)
...
'string2 has a value! It is Trondheim'
notice there is no `if bool(string2)` or `if string2 == False` (which would
be False).
As far as finding that bit of the tutorial confusing, there is no way to have a
single document that is crystal clear to everyone who reads it. This section
is correct, as is section 4.1 -- `or` is being used, so the operand is
returned, not True or False.

[issue1284316] Win32: Security problem with default installation directory
Steve Dower added the comment: I'll reassign this to me, as I'm looking into making Program Files the default location for 3.5. I'd like to release at least some of the alphas with the change active by default (i.e. it's easy to select the old directory) to get broader feedback. So far I haven't encountered any trouble other than in pip (as is being discussed at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1668). If things don't work well in the early releases of 3.5 we can easily revert the change, though I suspect the main feedback is going to be about the amount of typing required. In that case, I'll look into hardening the permissions on the root directory as part of installation. Unless some really bad scenarios arise, getting the legacy permissions will be opt-in. As 3.5 will be the first version with that change there shouldn't be any direct back-compat issues - we can't make a change like that in maintenance releases or even 3.4. -- assignee: loewis - steve.dower versions: -Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1284316 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue23132] Faster total_ordering
Raymond Hettinger added the comment:
Thanks Serhiy. I really like this clean-up. When there is an exception in the
user's root comparison operation, the traceback is more intelligible now.
If you're interested, here are two additional optimizations:
_op_or_eq = '''
op_result = self.%s(other)
# Since bool(NotImplemented) is true, the usual special case test isn't
needed here
return op_result or self == other
'''
# setting NotImplemented as a local constant saves one or two global lookups
per call
exec('def %s(self, other, NotImplemented=NotImplemented):%s' % (opname, opfunc
% root), namespace)

[issue23132] Faster total_ordering
Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Serhiy, this is a really nice idea. By removing the additional layer of indirection, the code is more intelligible, runs faster, and the tracebacks make more sense when the user's root comparison raises an exception. Since there are only twelve functions involved, I don't think the function templates give us much of a payoff. Instead, it would be better to just precompute the 12 functions rather than have 5 templates. I've attached a patch relative to Python 3.4. Ideally, I would like this backported to 3.4 to fix the regression in performance and intelligibility. One further possible change is to localize the NotImplemented global variable. This will reduce the overhead of NotImplemented checking to almost nothing and almost completely restore the performance of earlier versions. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37591/total_ordering.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23132 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Demian Brecht added the comment: utf-8 encoding is only one step in IRI encoding. Correct IRI encoding is non trivial and doesn't fall into the support policy for 2.7 (bug/security fixes). I think that the best that can be done for 2.7 is to enhance the documentation around HTTPConnection.__init__ (unicode hostnames should be IDNA-encoded with the built-in IDNA encoder) and HTTPConnection.request/putrequest noting that unicode paths should be IRI encoded, with a link to RFC 3987. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22231 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue23159] argparse: Provide equivalent of optparse.OptionParser.{option_groups, option_list, get_option}
New submission from Eric McDonald:
There are several use cases for having the equivalent of the
optparse.OptionParser 'get_option' method and the 'option_groups' and
'option_list' properties in argparse.ArgumentParser class.
(1) Easy alteration of the text of the default help option. With optparse, one
could write:
oparser.get_option( -h ).help
'show this help message and exit'
oparser.get_option( -h ).help = Show this help message and exit.
oparser.get_option( -h ).help
'Show this help message and exit.'
The equivalent facility does not appear to exist in argparse. (Issue #19462,
http://bugs.python.org/issue19462, is about a different use case. And, while
https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#add-help suggests a workaround
with add_help=False and then creating a new option with the 'help' action, it
is still less convenient than altering the existing help option.)
(2) Inspection of all the argument declarations in an ArgumentParser object
after it has been populated. This is particularly useful if you want to look
for the equivalent of the available options in config files and don't want to
have write explicit code which separately enumerates the available config file
keys and how to handle them. With an OptionParser, one could use the
'option_groups' attribute to find all option groups (to correspond to config
file sections) and the 'option_list' attribute to find all options (to
correspond to config file keys); these are all part of the published interface
and provide relatively simple data types to inspect. With an Argument Parser,
one needs to rely upon the unpublished interface (the '_actions' attribute of a
parser, etc...).
