Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Review time! Please use rietveld for big patches in the future.
I had started with a list of remarks in same order than the code and minor remarks grouped at the end, but I see now that all my remarks are minor, since I have found no real code problem (I don’t know pydoc as well as you :) If my message is hard to follow, I’ll redo it on rietveld or directly update your patch (I’m nitpicky, so I can volunteer to share the work). Thanks for your continued effort and high-quality result! * Misc/NEWS: Your entry has to be proper reST. * pydoc.rst: +documentation pages. (The :option:`-g` option is depreciated.) :option: marks an option for python itself. Use ```` instead. See #9312 for more info. (Also fix the typo, which appears twice in the diff.) +:program:`pydoc` ``-b`` :program:`pydoc -b` works. “Each served page has a navigation bar at the top where you can 'get' help on an individual item, 'search' all modules with a keyword in their synopsis line, and goto indexes for 'modules', 'topics' and 'keywords'.” What do the apostrophes mean? * urllib/parse.py, test_urlparse.py: Unrelated changes? * pydoc.py +import sys, imp, os, re, inspect, builtins, pkgutil, time, warnings Why not take the opportunity to put each import on its own line, for source and diff readability? + return 'no documentation found for %s' % repr(topic), '' You can simplify that to “'... %r' % topic”. (I’m assuming topic is never a tuple.) + if type(target) is type(''): I see you’re following the style of the rest of the file. Modernizing that to isinstance is probably out of scope for this patch. (Have I said that the HTML is horrible too?) + msg = """The pydoc.serve() function is deprecated.""" Such messages usually don’t start with a capital nor end with a period. + msg = """The pydoc.gui() function and "pydoc -g" option are depreciated, + use "pydoc.browse() function and "pydoc -b" option instead.""" Won’t this have strange leading indentation on the second line? I’d recommend printing two lines that wrap under 80 characters: msg = ('the pydoc.gui() function and "pydoc -g" option are deprecated,' 'use pydoc.browse() and "pydoc -b" instead') + #... webbrowser.open(serverthread.url) + #True I don’t like commented-out example code. I prefer it to work or not be there :) “it's” is not a possessive, you want “its”. + import http.server Aren’t function-level imports frowned upon? + if self.path.endswith('.css'): + content_type = 'text/css' + else: + content_type = 'text/html' It’s good practice to add the “charset” parameter to specify the character encoding. + if url[-5:] == '.html': url = url[:-5] Please always put two statements on two lines. + except IOError as value: You don’t need to get the instance if you don’t use it in the following block (IOW, remove “ as value”). + fp.close() Please use the with statement. + server_help_msg = """Python Version: %s “version” need not be capitalized IMO. -""" % (cmd, os.sep, cmd, cmd, cmd, cmd, os.sep)) +""" % (cmd, os.sep, cmd, cmd, cmd, cmd, cmd, os.sep)) Feel free to replace all those %s by %(cmd)s or {cmd} for readability. * Assorted nitpicks, which are not blocking: - “command line” needs an hyphen when used as an adjective (in whatsnew/3.2.rst) - a→an in “a HTTP server” (pydoc.py) - Use two spaces: “local machine. Port” (twice); “page. Use”. - “To determine what the client is asking for check the URL”: I’d add a comma after “for”. - You can remove the parentheses around “The "-g" option is deprecated” and put it on the preceding line. - Feel free to sprinkle a few more blanklines here and there, especially before class and function definition. > Do you agree that the browse function should be public? I’ll leave that to Nick. ---------- nosy: -BreamoreBoy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2001> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
