[issue7957] Tutorial issue regarding the sys module
New submission from Lucian Ursu : Hello, I've discovered an issue while reading the Python tutorial. In chapter 6.2. "Standard Modules", the tutorial mentions the "sys" module and two of its attributes, ps1='<<<' and ps2='...'. The problem is I can't find these attributes in my version of Python (2.6.4.) when I do "dir(sys)". Have these attributes been deprecated but not removed from the tutorial yet? Thank you for your time.

[issue8638] Remove suggestion for name mangling from the tutorial
New submission from Lucian Ursu : I suggest that name mangling should not be recommended as a way of having private attributes. Instead, one underscore should be suggested as a signal that the attribute is private. This suggestion comes after discussing with some of the helpers from #python. Basically, they said that name mangling should never be used, so it would be appropriate to remove this recommendation from the tutorial. -- assignee: d...@python components: Documentation messages: 105161 nosy: LucianU, d...@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Remove suggestion for name mangling from the tutorial type: feature request versions: Python 2.6 ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue8638> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
