"Ben Collver" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] |I rewrote my code in Python and I found myself running into many of the | same hassles that I run into with other languages: inaccurate and | incomplete documentation, a maze of little platform-specific quirks to | work around in the base classes, and a macho community of users.
Including you. | I tried to write portable Python code. The zlib CRC function returned | different results on architectures between 32 bit and 64 bit | architectures. I filed a bug report. It was closed, without a comment | from the person who closed it. Misleading and untrue. Here is the link you omitted http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1678102&group_id=5470&atid=105470 www.python.org/sf/1678102 Three days after you posted, 'gagenellina' explained that he thought your complaint was invalid. "py> -531560245 & 0xffffffff 3763407051L It's the same number (actually, the same bit pattern). ..." A few weeks later, noticing that you had not challenged his explanation, I closed after changing the Resolution box to Invalid. THAT WAS MY COMMENT. A month later, I notice that you still have not directly challenged G's claim of invalidity. Instead, you ignored it and simply repeated your claim here. WHO IS IGNORING WHO? | I get the unspoken message: bug reports are not welcome. Giving the shortage of reviewer time, invalid bug reports on tracker are a nuisance and a diversion from attending to valid reports and reviewing patches. That is why I encourage people to post here for community review. Real bug reports are quite welcome, as any honest person could determine by looking thru the tracker.
