[issue10461] Use with statement throughout the docs
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: +1 I have not yet had occasion to use 'with' yet, but in reading the Unicode HOWTO diff, I noticed that I liked replacing 'open,read,close' with 'with open, read' just for reading purposes since it turns 3 steps into 1 compound transaction. Perhaps something should also be added to the doc style guide (along with using 'attributes' instead of 'members'). -- nosy: +terry.reedy ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10461 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue10534] difflib.SequenceMatcher: expose junk sets, deprecate undocumented isb... functions.
New submission from Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu: Expose and document the junk and popular sets as attributes of the SequenceMatcher object. self.junk = junk self.popular = popular Deprecate the then unneeded and undocumented isbjunk and isbpopular functions, currently defined as self.isbjunk = junk.__contains__ self.isbpopular = popular.__contains__ (and slightly modify the matcher function that localizes and uses one of the above). Question, (how) do we document deprecation/removal of undocumented function? In discussions that included Tim Peters, the idea of exposing the tuning parameters of the heuristic was discussed. Now that the heuristic can be turned off, I think this is YAGNI until someone specifically requests it. -- assignee: terry.reedy messages: 122400 nosy: eli.bendersky, hodgestar, terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: unit test needed status: open title: difflib.SequenceMatcher: expose junk sets, deprecate undocumented isb... functions. type: feature request versions: Python 3.2 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10534 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: I would really like something like this -- for 3.2b1 next week. I am constantly running posted interactive code and the lack of this is a major nuisance. There seems to be a glitch in how the editor deals with ' ' when trying to delete it. However, as well as removing ' ' and '... ' from code lines, I would like it to add '# ' to output lines. I do not see that in the patch. Since I have XP also (and access to Win7) I would consider this working on those two sufficient reason to commit. As near as I can tell, the patch cannot possibly break other systems as long as the feature is not used.

[issue10521] str methods don't accept non-BMP fillchar on a narrow Unicode build
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: As a practical matter, I think that for at least the next decade, people are at least as likely to want to fill with a composed, multi-BMP-codepoint 'char' (grapheme) as with a non-BMP char. So to me, failure with the latter is no worse than failure with the former. The underlying problem is that centering k chars within n spaces with fill i is based on one-char per code encodings *and* fixed pitch fonts with one-char per space. That model is not universally applicable, so I do not consider it a bug that functions based on that model are also not universally applicable. Perhaps docs should be clearer about the limitations of many of the string methods in the new context. A full general solution to the general problem of centering requires a shift to physical units (points or mm) and detailed font information, including kerning. This is beyond the scope of a string method. So I consider this a feature request for a partial generalization of unclear utility and unclear definition. -- nosy: +terry.reedy ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10521 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue10534] difflib.SequenceMatcher: expose junk sets, deprecate undocumented isb... functions.
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: Here is a pretty minimal patch to expose bjunk and bpopular as attributes and document them along with b2j, which is already exposed but not documented. I suppose the proposed paragraph could be formatted as a list, perhaps after :class:`SequenceMatcher` objects have the following methods: with 'methods' expanded to 'attributes and methods'. But I do not know how to do that and personally prefer what I wrote. However, Georg, I am adding you as nosy so you can comment on the doc addition *before* I commit this tomorrow, to get it in the beta. Still to do: improve the doctests, including those added as part of #2986, to use the exposed sets (they are already implicitly tested by the existing tests); deprecate the two obsolete function attributes, as discussed on pydev. The docstrings and code comments might stand revision, and there is an XXX todo in the doc yet. -- keywords: +patch nosy: +georg.brandl stage: unit test needed - commit review Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file19915/difflib.10534.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10534 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Happily, IDLE has nearly always worked fine on my xp machine, so I have not tried anything else. Macs have had more problems than Windows, but perhaps Vista is worse than XP. I will be moving to Windows 7 sometime. The intermittent behavior is, I think, unusual. Please try 3.1.3 or 3.2b1 or .2b2 (in a few days) to see if there is any difference.

[issue10730] add .svgz to mimetypes.suffix_map
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: This issue is actually a request to add .svg to the types map and the the abbreviation .svgz for .svg.gx to the suffix_map. I believe Scalable Vector Graphics are well on the way to becoming *the* standard vector graphics format for the web, especially with upcoming IE9 support. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Svg It (they) are already supported by the other major browsers. In addition, Google announced on 31 August 2010 that it had begun to index SVG content on the web, whether it is in standalone files or embedded in HTML. So it might be sensible to add these now rather than two years from now. But if it is too late for 3.2, then I expect addition for 3.3 will be obvious. -- nosy: +terry.reedy ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10730 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

The HTMLParcer docs (2.7, 3.2) do not mention the .error method. The default is def error(self, message): raise HTMLParseError(message, self.getpos()) If this is *not* intended to be part of the api and over-ridden, the name should be changed to ._error and .error deprecated. If it is, it should be documented.

[issue10738] webbrowser.py bug with Opera on Linux
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: According to the linked doc, Opera has '-noraise' but not '-raise' as a command line option (to not raise window when receiving remote commands). It does have 'raise()' (with quotes and parens, but not noraise()) as a remote command following the '-remote' command line option to be sent to another Opera window. I suspect this as the reason for the apparently invalid raise_opts = [, -raise] From the usage of raise_opts in UnixBrowser._invoke, which concatenates one of the entries, if not , to self.name, I am pretty sure the command line form is what is wanted and that the proposed raise_opts = [-noraise, ] is correct. Attached patch also removes a few blank lines to make entries for different browsers consistent.

[issue10792] Compile() and 'Windows/Mac newlines'
New submission from Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu:
In python-list thread Does Python 3.1 accept \r\n in compile()?
jmfauth notes that
compile('print(999)\r\n', 'in', 'exec')
works in 2.7 but not 3.1 (and 3.2 not checked) because 3.1 sees '\r' as
SyntaxError.
I started to respond that this is part of Py3 cleanup with newlines converted
on input and back-compatibility with ancient Python not needed. Then I saw in
3.2 manual
Changed in version 3.2: Allowed use of Windows and Mac newlines. ...
However, above gives same error. Should Allowed use of Windows and Mac
newlines. be deleted? What else could it mean other than use of '\r' or '\r\n'?
The note was added in r76232 which is a forward port of r76230
fix several compile() issues by translating newlines in the tokenizer
by B. Peterson. Is Windows/Mac part just not applicable to 3.2?

[issue10799] Improve webbrowser.open doc (and, someday, behavior?)
New submission from Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu:
webbrowser.open (and two aliases):
1. document return value, which seems to be: True if a browser tab or window is
opened, regardless of whether or not the url is found; False otherwise.
2. document that (on Windows, at least) the default browser only gets used if a
non .htm(l) url starts with 'www' or 'http:'.
This is true because os.startfile(url) apparently only works if above is true,
as required for the Start/Run box to recognize an entry as a url.
In particular, I have Firefox as default and 'www.google.com' and
'http://bugs.python.org' get opened in Firefox (new tab as requested). However,
'google.com' and 'bugs.python.org' open with IE after some delay. [Start/run
either opens with Firefox or reports 'cannot find'.]
-
In the longer run, what I would really like is for webbrowser to be better at
using the default or finding executables.
I thought of adding 'http://' if not present but that would disable opening
files in a file browser.
I suspect there is a registry entry but do not know what it is. That would also
pick up new browswers like Chrome.
It seems to me that the current behavior is a 'limitation' in this code:
# Detect some common Windows browsers, fallback to IE
iexplore = os.path.join(os.environ.get(PROGRAMFILES, C:\\Program Files),
Internet Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE)
for browser in (firefox, firebird, seamonkey, mozilla,
netscape, opera, iexplore):
if _iscommand(browser):
register(browser, None, BackgroundBrowser(browser))
Firefox is not being recognized as a command because _iscommand('firefox') does
not not see firefox.exe as an executable because it only checks _isexecutable()
in the hodgepodge list of paths in PATH. At one time (but no longer),
executables were ofter put in c:/windows, which by default is in PATH.
Since you hardcoded the default real path for iexplore (C:\\Program
Files\\Internet Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE), you could do the same for other
programs:
firefox = os.path.join(os.environ.get(PROGRAMFILES, C:\\Program Files),
Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe)

[issue6285] Silent abort on XP help document display
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: webbrowser appears to be designed to return True/False if it does/or not open a browser window (regardless of site response). (I opened #10799 for a doc addition.) I believe an exception would likely indicate a bug therein. So I only wrapped the Windows startfile call (and only catch WindowsError), which could fail with any bad entry, and not just one left over from a previous install. This patch should make the behavior on Windows much like on other systems: display message and move on. I have (yet) not tested this (but may try to), but take Scott's and Amaury's claims that the message call is correct.

[issue10786] unittest.TextTextRunner does not respect redirected stderr
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: Since the current behavior matches the current doc, class unittest.TextTestRunner(stream=sys.stderr, descriptions=True, verbosity=1, runnerclass=None, warnings=None) A basic test runner implementation which prints results on standard error. ... this is a feature change request, not a bug report. Hence, the change should not be backported, lest it surprise someone. One could even question whether the change should be introduced now, but is does seem rather minor. That aside, the doc needs to be changed and a version-changed note added. Something like class unittest.TextTestRunner(stream=None, descriptions=True, verbosity=1, runnerclass=None, warnings=None) A basic test runner implementation. If *stream* is the default None, results go to standard error. ... Version changed 3.2: default stream determined when class is instantiated rather than when imported. -- nosy: +terry.reedy type: behavior - feature request versions: -Python 2.7, Python 3.1 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10786 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue10787] [random.gammavariate] Add the expression of the distribution in a comprehensive form for random.gammavariate
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: From reading the Wikipedia article, I might conclude that beta = 1/theta, but from reading random.py, beta=theta. I think this much should be clarified, but without giving the formula in a hard to read text form. Perhaps the random doc should give reference to the much more complete numpy.random (and Wikipedia and/or Mathworld) entries rather than merely 'any statistics text' (many of which will not describe all). -- nosy: +terry.reedy versions: +Python 3.1, Python 3.2 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10787 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue10789] Lock.acquire documentation is misleading
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: Since threading is written in Python, one might expect Lock to be written in Python and its methods to accept keywords. However, threading.py (3.2) has _acquire_lock = _thread.acquire_lock Lock = _aquire_lock so threading.Lock objects are C-coded _thread.lock objects and hence *might* not accept keyword args. In 3.1: lock.acquire([waitflag]) # same 2.7 Lock.acquire(blocking=True) # [blocking=1] in 2.7 Indeed the first is correct. from threading import Lock l=Lock() l.acquire(blocking=True) Traceback (most recent call last): File pyshell#2, line 1, in module l.acquire(blocking=True) TypeError: acquire() takes no keyword arguments l.acquire(True) True r87596, r87596 In 3.2: lock.acquire(waitflag=1, timeout=-1) Lock.acquire(blocking=True, timeout=-1) The edit in 3.2 is actually correct from threading import Lock l=Lock() l.acquire(blocking=True) True l.acquire(timeout=1) False _thread.lock.acquire now accepts keywords. -- assignee: d...@python - terry.reedy nosy: +terry.reedy resolution: - fixed stage: - committed/rejected status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10789 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue6285] Silent abort on XP help document display
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: I verified the bug by creating a copy of idlelib/help.txt, making the new help entry, testing it, deleting the copy, and retesting -- IDLE silently disappears. (A copy is necessary because IDLE checks that the file exists and gives a similar message as in the patch before posting the new menu item.) I decided that since a file can get renamed, moved, or deleted for various reasons, failure to open it should be caught. I them tested my patch, found and fixed an typo-error (yes, testing is good even for simple patches!), found and fixed another bug in one of the two functions, and committed. r87598, r97599, r87600 -- resolution: - fixed status: open - closed Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20209/z6285.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6285 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue10789] Lock.acquire documentation is misleading
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: OK, I will add defaults in the texts and condense them a bit at the same time. Will post patches for review. Arguments that can't be given as kwargs are presented with brackets. I think this should be stated in the introduction to the Lib manual, along with any other conventions a reader should know.

[issue8350] Document lack of support for keyword arguments in C functions
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: I think that the warning that things are not always as they seem should be repeated in the front of the library manual where the pseudo-arg names are actual used, so the library manual stands on its own. In any case, I believe a lot of people use the lib ref without reading and remembering every detail of the language ref. -- nosy: +terry.reedy versions: -Python 2.6 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8350 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue8350] Document lack of support for keyword arguments in C functions
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: If there is no indication in the lib manual as to which parameter names and defaults are real and which are fake, then the safe guideline is to never use keywards for library functions and methods and always pass everything positionally. Slightly more complicated is to be aware of which classes and modules are Python versus C coded. (If needed, change for module.py in /Lib.) For some modules, one can take a cue from doc examples that use keywords. Otherwise, each person has to experiment for himself and check each TypeError messages to determine whether it arises from a misspelling or a hidden limitation. And maybe go through the same process a year later after forgetting. We've lived without this spec for almost twenty years, Yes, and people have been stumbling on this and complaining for probably just as long. Since []s are no longer used in the doc to indicate 'optional', they can and are being used to indicate 'position-only'. Specify in the introduction, where notation should be explained, that the limitation is only for current CPython and may be changed in the future or be different for other implementations. However In my opinion, the real solution is to remove the limitation. Since the language spec says args can be passed by keyword as well as by position, make it be that way for everything we distribute. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8350 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
