[issue4246] execution model - clear and complete example in documentation

New submission from robwolfe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I'd like to propose adding some complete example regarding scopes and bindings resolving to execution model description. There is no week on pl.comp.lang.python without a question about UnboundLocalError problem. I'm getting tired answering that.

[issue4221] inconsistent exception from int is confusing

Jean-Paul Calderone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: 2.6 exhibits the same behavior as 2.5 in this case. 3.0 exhibits similar behavior, but with a slightly different exception in the NUL case. The examples included showing the Python 3 behavior don't cover the same cases as the examples I

Terry J. Reedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Benjamin: I thank you too for verifying that I was not crazy. Martin: I noticed native/non-native split too, and chalked it up to a subtle difference between German and English. For future reference, the problem with the original, as I see i

[issue4243] has_key doc could be clearer

Georg Brandl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Forgive me for playing stupid here, but I want to understand English better. I would fully understand the confusion had the sentence been "dict.has_key(key) is equivalent to key in d, but it is deprecated." Terry's and Martin' example sentence

D'Arcy J.M. Cain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I think a clarification is in order. The sentence being changed was perfectly and mathematically correct. If you laid it out on a blackboard and parsed it (remember those days?) you could prove that it said the correct thing. No one is di

[issue4100] xml.etree.ElementTree does not read xml-text over page bonderies

Fredrik Lundh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Roland's right - "iterparse" only guarantees that it has seen the ">" character of a starting tag when it emits a "start" event, so the attributes are defined, but the contents of the text and tail attributes are undefined at that point. Th

[issue1309567] linecache module returns wrong results

Jean-Paul Calderone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: This is still relevant. It makes linecache (and therefore some other things, like inspect.getsource) almost useless in many cases. For example, because of this, sometimes inspect.getsource will raise an IOError and sometimes it will ret
