[issue30435] Documentation either unclear or incorrect on comparisons between bytes and strings in Python 3
New submission from ipatrol: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#comparisons says that "Strings and binary sequences cannot be directly compared." That would seem to me to imply that an equality between them would raise an exception, as also claimed by https://wiki.python.org/moin/BytesStr However, that is manifestly incorrect. Bytes and strings can be compared: they are always unequal. This appears to be a result of the operation falling through to the default comparison, which returns False since they are not identical objects. Equality is a comparison, though it is not an order comparison. A brief search of the word "cannot" in the documentation suggest that saying a certain thing cannot be done usually implies that attempting to do so anyway will raise an exception, typically a TypeError. That this is not the case for string-bytes comparisons should be mentioned. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 294200 nosy: docs@python, ipatrol priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Documentation either unclear or incorrect on comparisons between bytes and strings in Python 3 type: behavior versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 ___ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30435> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue9882] abspath from directory
New submission from ipatrol ipatrol6...@yahoo.com: Just an easy patch. os.path.abspath is defined as os.path.normpath(os.path.join(os.getcwd(),path), but os.path.relpath also adds a start option. This creates an asymmetry where getting the absolute path from a relative path and a directory has no single operation whereas the inverse does. So finding the absolute path of 'foo' in the directory '/bar/buzz/bang/quok' requires several nested functions or else a quick dash in with os.chdir. Hence redefining os.path.abspath as os.path.normpath(os.path.join(start or os.getcwd(),path). -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 116643 nosy: ipatrol priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: abspath from directory type: feature request versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9882 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
