New submission from Robert Kern <robert.k...@gmail.com>: The final 'arg' argument of the sys.settrace() callback is documented to be None for the 'c_return' and 'c_exception' events, but it appears to be the function object itself. Additionally, the 'return' event's argument may be None if the 'return' event is being generated because of an exception. These errors also exist in the Py_tracefunc documentation in the C API. The latter error is not particularly important for the Python API, but in the C API the argument may be a NULL pointer.
I am happy to make the corrections if someone will confirm that my analysis is correct. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 92050 nosy: georg.brandl, robert.kern severity: normal status: open title: Argument for sys.settrace() callbacks documented incorrectly type: behavior versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6798> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
