This documentation refers to "context expressions" in two places. However, it
never really defines what a context expression is. The formal syntax that's
presented is this:

This is referring to argparse 1.1 installed under Python 2.6. When I was
passing in an nargs flag, I figured that since '+' and '*' are valid options, I
should pass in strings. So when I tried passing in the string '1' instea

There's an issue with the documentation on the atexit module[1]. It states:
"Note: the functions registered via this module are not called when the program
is killed by a signal, when a Python fatal internal error is detected, or when
os._exit()
Jason Baker added the comment:
I like that phrasing. I think it would be a good idea to mention that this
includes SIGINT by default, just to be explicit.

I've created a patch that adds some common functional programming tools to
functools. I've made the patch to work against Python 3.2, but that may be a
bit aggressive. If so, then I can adapt it to work with 3.3.
I also wouldn't be opposed

Ray, thanks for prompt and thorough feedback. To address your concerns:
* I'm fine with doing away with const and identity (long story short I haven't
really used them in functional languages anyway). There were reasons for
defining identity the

I'm not sure I understand how Raymond's alternative for trampoline works.
Let's take the factorial algorithm from wikipedia's page on tail recursion[1].
I've implemented the tail recursive version of the algorithm in Python usi

The logging handler does not handle double-closing very well:

Vinay, I don't necessarily disagree with you. However, this appears to be a

The multiprocessing.dummy.Queue class is merely an import of Queue.Queue.
There are a few methods that this does not provide however: close,
join_thread, and cancel_join_thread.
I don't know what the best way to handle this is, but it should be p

I can play this game too!
Since generator functions do nothing when used as a unittest test method, there
is no value in having a test method that is a generator function. Therefore,
it is an error to give a test method that is a generator function. Since it

Who expects this behavior? Can you give me an example of when someone would
rely upon a generator test to do nothing?

I would like to verify this. Link the specification, and highlight where it
says that the expected behavior for a test method that is a generator function
is to do nothing.
