(...) Ouch. This is a hard to catch bug. I believe that there's no way to test all conditions, but testing combinations of actions is really not feasible at all. Too much work for too little result. > Sybase's response was "No, it's not a bug; we just don't implement > that part of the spec. We'll change the documentation in the next > release." Those bastards...

Some > people (like me right now) would rather have the feature; others (like > me on the Sybase project) would rather have the documentation. :-) I'd rather have both. Specially because writing some docstrings is not hard at all and a simple "pydoc" could be used to show them. Very clean, fast and helpful. It would also help people writing documentations and books. But this is something that I miss in a lot of Python libraries, modules, frameworks. Python itself lacks a lot of documentation (and coming from Perl, where we have example in the docs I miss them much more!). -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
