Category: Documentation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Anthony Baxter (anthonybaxter) Assigned to: Johannes Gijsbers (jlgijsbers) Summary: Lib/profile.doc should be updated Initial Comment: What's Lib/profile.doc doing there? Is it still needed? Why is it in Lib, anyway? (it seems very old - is it still up to date after all the hackery? doesn't seem so) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Date: 2005-01-09 22:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3066 Removing profile.doc sounds fine to me. The only thing that really needs to be done prior to removal is to make sure all the (still current) information in profile.doc is represented in the library documentation. The help() function should probably be replaced with something that refers the user to the library documentation, rather than removing the function. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Johannes Gijsbers (jlgijsbers) Date: 2005-01-08 20:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=469548 I would like to go ahead with removing profile.doc and the help() function from profile.py for Python 2.5. They're not really all that helpful, they're in an unexpected place, and they're undocumented. I'll remove them if there are no objections within some weeks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Date: 2001-12-05 01:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3066 profile.doc is used as the help file for profile.py, and is read by an external pager (sloppily) using the profile.help() function. Either the document should be updated and the help() function should be more intelligent about the pager, or... ...the document and the help() function should be removed. This is a possibility since help() is not documented. profile.doc should be updated for Python 2.2; other changes will need to wait for Python 2.3. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=489256&group_id=5470\\ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
