[issue7076] Documentation add note about SystemRandom

chuck added the comment: I think many people who are looking for a random number generator end up on this page and need to be informed if there are alternatives so they can make up their own mind. If you want to discourage people to use it, that's fine and we can do so, but I think it's wrong

[issue7117] Backport py3k float repr to trunk

Mark Dickinson added the comment: Here's a patch for correctly-rounded round in trunk. This patch doesn't change the rounding behaviour between 2.6 and 2.7: it's still doing round-half-away-from-zero instead of round-half-even. It was necessary to detect and treat halfway cases specially t

[issue4969] mimetypes on Windows should read MIME database from registry (w/patch)

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: A couple of points: - if the method is Windows-specific, I don't think it shouldn't bear a name as generic as "read_registry()". There are "registries" on other systems. - the method should probably raise early on non-Windows systems (raise NotImplementedError?)

[issue7257] Improve documentation of list.sort and sorted()

Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I'm inclined to leave the on-line help docstring as-is (pretty much everywhere, we adopt a style of terse reminders instead of lengthy prose with examples). Instead, was thinking of updating the sorting how-to and providing a link to it from the main docs.

[issue7250] wsgiref.handlers.CGIHandler caches os.environ, leaking info between requests

Phillip J. Eby added the comment: This is not an issue with CGI, but an issue with using an inappropriate WSGI handler for a long-running process environment that only emulates CGI. That is, in a true CGI environment, there can't be *multiple* requests made to CGIHandler, and so it can't leak.

[issue7250] wsgiref.handlers.CGIHandler caches os.environ, leaking info between requests

Phillip J. Eby added the comment: Hm. In retrospect, CGIHandler should probably just set os_environ to an empty dictionary in its class body (thereby not using the cached environ), and this would then work correctly for repeated uses. This would be a clean bugfix and wouldn't affect behavior f
