Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Not a Bug Status: Closed Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Submitted By: Martin Geisler (mgeisler) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Error in documentation for os.walk Initial Comment: There's a mistake in the example given for os.walk on this page: http://docs.python.org/lib/os-file-dir.html The line with sum should read print sum([getsize(join(root, name)) for name in files]), with square brackets. Otherwise, thanks for the excellent documentation! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin Geisler (mgeisler) Date: 2005-11-12 00:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1264592 Ups, I'm sorry for the noise then... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tim Peters (tim_one) Date: 2005-11-11 15:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=31435 Your URL is for the Python 2.4.2 docs, where the example works fine as given. If you're using an earlier version of Python, the example will not work as given (it relies on generator expressions, which were introduced in 2.4). For example, if you're using Python 2.3.5, you should look at the docs for 2.3 instead: http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/os-file-dir.html Note that square brackets _are_ in that example, because Python 2.3.5 required them. Current Pythons (2.4+) do not, so I'm closing this as Not-A-Bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1353793&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
