Re: [Python-Dev] Questions for the PEP 418: monotonic vs steady, is_adjusted

2012-04-13 Thread Stephen J. Turnbull
Executive summary: On naming, how about "CLOCK_METRONOMIC"? Also, "is_adjusted" is better, until the API is expanded to provide "when and how much" information about past adjustments. On the glossary, (1) precision, accuracy, and resolution mean different things for "points in time" and for "dur

[Python-Dev] Questions for the PEP 418: monotonic vs steady, is_adjusted

2012-04-13 Thread Victor Stinner
Hi, Before posting a first draft of the PEP 418 to python-dev, I have some questions. == Naming: time.monotonic() or time.steady()? == I like the "steady" name but different people complained that the steady name should not be used if the function falls back to the system clock or if the clock i

By the way, I hesitate to add a new mandatory key to time.get_clock_info() which indicates if the clock includes time elapsed during a sleep. Is "is_realtime" a good name for such flag? Examples: time.get_clock_info('time')['is_realtime'] == True time.get_clock_info('monotonic')['is_realtime'] ==

bugs.python.org already sanitizes the ok_message and Ezio already posted a patch to the upstream bug tracker, so I don’t see what else we could do. Also note that the Firefox extension NoScript blocks the XSS in this case. Regards ___ Python-Dev maili

Are there any good small Python libraries for making HTML safe out there? http://goo.gl/D6ag1 Just to make sure that devs are aware of the problem, which was reported more than 6 months ago, gain some traction and release fix sooner. I am not sure what can you do with a stolen bugs.python.org coo

Hello, I'm just starting a new thread since the old ones are so crowded. First, overall I think the PEP is starting to look really good and insightful! (congratulations to Victor) I have a couple of comments, mostly small ones: > "function" (str): name of the underlying operating system functio
