Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Aravind (iamfenris) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Incorrect return value in gc docs Initial Comment: The document http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-gc.html notes that gc.isenabled() returns true, while it actually returns 1. The description reads: isenabled( ) Returns true if automatic collection is enabled. Suggested correction: isenabled( ) Returns 1 if automatic collection is enabled. HTH, -Aravind ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: George Yoshida (quiver) Date: 2005-03-12 23:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=671362 Looks like so. CVS log of gcmodule.c shows that isenabled function has changed to return True/False instead of 1/0 since 2.4. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/python/python/dist/src/M odules/gcmodule.c?r1=2.75&r2=2.76 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Aravind (iamfenris) Date: 2005-03-12 23:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1237322 Oops! I apologise -- I have both 2.3.4 and 2.4 running on my machine, and the return value was 1 with 2.3.4 but the correct True with 2.4. This is not a bug. -Aravind ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: George Yoshida (quiver) Date: 2005-03-12 16:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=671362 This document is for Python 2.4. http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/ Are you sure your Python has the same version number as this? I guess you're using Python(say, 2.2) that doesn't have a built- in bool type. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1161476&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
