[issue9911] doc copyedits

New submission from DSM : Various typo fixes for the docs. As usual, I left historical documents alone (except for 3.1 whatsnew: fixed the spelling of Jack Diederich's name). Fixing ~30 means I probably introduced ~3 problems of my own, but that should still be a net win.. Patch ag

[issue11515] Misspelled actually

New submission from DSM : Rather than submitting a thousand patches each with one or two typo fixes, wouldn't it make more sense to collect them? It'll be important to run tests after the patches, and running tests a thousand times will take a while. It's worked okay for me i

[issue11114] file.tell extremely slow

DSM added the comment: With a similar setup (OS X 10.6) I see the same problem. It seems to go away if the file is opened in binary mode for reading. @Laurens, can you confirm? -- nosy: +dsm001 ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.

[issue11114] file.tell extremely slow

DSM added the comment: (By "go away" I mean "stop being pathological", not "stop differing": I still see a factor of 2.) -- ___ Python tracker <

[issue3320] various doc typos

New submission from DSM <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Boredom resulted in a handful of doc copyedits against 64789. One error I did note in the doc tree but didn't correct because it's in code: includes/mp_distributing.py contains the typo _logger.propogate = 0 which ISTM will le

[issue3320] various doc typos

DSM added the comment: Commenting only to draw attention to the trivial typo in mp_distributing.py, because jnoller's post on the mailing list reminded me about it. ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/i

[issue5415] uuid module generates incorrect values for uuid3 (and possibly uuid5)

DSM added the comment: Hmm. I quickly wrote my own implementation and I agree with the uuid module and disagree with the RFC value. Further searching suggests that this may be an error in the RFC. See http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=4122 ; see also http://bugs.sun.com

[issue5486] doc copyedits

New submission from DSM : Handful of typos. Patch against py3k trunk @ r70341. I left howto/webservers.rst alone, despite a fair number of problems, 'cause it could do with a more serious rewrite than I have time for. -- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation

[issue5655] fix glob.iglob docstring

New submission from DSM : glob.iglob's docstring claims it returns a list, but as the name suggests it returns an iterator. Looks like a cut 'n paste oversight. glob.rst is correct. Patch attached against mainline trunk r70961. Should also apply cleanly to py3k trunk. -

[issue5697] heapq.nlargest does not perform stable sort

DSM added the comment: I can't reproduce in current python, and the relevant lines now look like it = izip(iterable, count(0,-1))# decorate it = izip(imap(key, in1), count(0,-1), in2) # decorate It seems that these were fixed long ago by rhett

[issue5841] add py3k warnings to commands

New submission from DSM : The commands module is absent in 3.0 but isn't py3k-warned in trunk. getstatus was deprecated and mkarg/mk2arg were py3k deprecated, but not the module or getoutput and getstatusoutput, which now live in subprocess in 3.x. This patch adds a module-level py3k wa

[issue5740] multiprocessing.connection.Client API documentation incorrect

New submission from DSM : Inspired by http://bugs.python.org/issue1653416 , I tried writing to a file opened for reading in 3.1 trunk, and found: Python 3.1a2+ (py3k:71900M, Apr 25 2009, 16:12:31) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright

[issue3066] FD leak in urllib2

DSM added the comment: I can't reproduce in python 2.5.4, 2.6.2, or 2.7 trunk (though I can with 2.4.6 and 2.5) on mac & linux. Quick bisection suggests that it was fixed in r53511 while solving related bug http://bugs.python.org/issue1601399, and the explanation given there is c

[issue5856] Minor typo in traceback example

DSM added the comment: There's more than a typo wrong with the example there-- "import traceback" doesn't bring format_list into scope, and so it should be traceback.format_list. Patch attached which turns the example into something which passes a doctest. -- k
