Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Colin J. Williams (cjwhrh) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: The doc for DictProxy is missing Initial Comment: The types module has an entry for DictProxy. I am unable to find any documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gregory H. Ball (greg_ball) Date: 2005-01-10 07:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11365 Currently the library reference contains minimal information on internal objects; here's the entire text of the relevant section: """ 2.3.10.10 Internal Objects See the Python Reference Manual for this information. It describes stack frame objects, traceback objects, and slice objects. """ Perhaps cell and dictproxy types should be added to the language reference manual. On the other hand, it isn't clear to me that absolute completeness is desirable. Any language or application has some undocumented features; the fact that they are not documented is a signal to the user that their use is not supported and they may go away without warning in future versions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Colin J. Williams (cjwhrh) Date: 2005-01-09 21:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=285587 I suggest that it would be better to indicate the purpose and usage of both CellType in the Library Reference. If one is to keep it under the pillow, it should be complete and uptodate. Colin W. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gregory H. Ball (greg_ball) Date: 2005-01-09 11:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11365 DictProxy is an implementation detail, perhaps it should have been left out of types. I notice there is no CellType in there. (you can obtain this type like so:) >>> type((lambda x: lambda: x)(1).func_closure[0]) <type 'cell'> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1095821&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
