[issue41636] distutils.util.strtobool documented behaviour
New submission from Graham Oliver : Here is the text https://docs.python.org/3.6/distutils/apiref.html#distutils.util.strtobool Convert a string representation of truth to true (1) or false (0). True values are y, yes, t, true, on and 1; false values are n, no, f, false, off and 0. Raises ValueError if val is anything else. I wondered what would happen with 'FALSE' i.e. upper case. It appears to behave the same way as 'false'. In fact case does not seem to be an issue, so 'FaLsE' will return 0 as well. So a note that this function is independent of case may be helpful -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 375902 nosy: Graham.Oliver, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: distutils.util.strtobool documented behaviour versions: Python 3.6 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue41636> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue24356] venv documentation incorrect / misleading
Graham Oliver added the comment: ok current version Each virtual environment has its own Python binary (allowing creation of environments with various Python versions) and can have its own independent set of installed Python packages in its site directories. Suggested Alternative Each virtual environment has its own isolated Python binary (which matches the version used to create it) and can have its own independent set of installed Python packages in its site directories. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue24356> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue24356] venv documentation incorrect / misleading
New submission from Graham Oliver: See my question here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.python/BUmyc_hzAsA In particular Carl Meyer's response https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.lang.python/BUmyc_hzAsA/-cT-N-g_LL4J I am not sure what is possible with venv but I would suggest that the statement 'allowing creation of environments with various Python versions' needs to be clarified and / or altered.
