Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.5 Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: getwindowsversion() constants in sys module Initial Comment: In the documentation for the sys.getwindowsversion() function, it says that the 'platform' value may be one of four constants (specifying them by name). However, these constants are not in the sys module (they are in win32con from pywin32). It would be better if either the documentation said that the constants were available in win32con if pywin32 is installed, or if the constants were added to the sys module. I personally think the latter is better since it's a single line of code, and makes the getwindowsversion() function more useful, but I'm not sure whether people will want to clutter the sys module with four constants. I'm happy to provide a patch for either behaviour, if an appropriate developer will choose one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2006-03-02 13:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 This is certainly an improvement, but IMO it would be good to also explain that these constants are in win32con (if they aren't to be provided in the core). It's better to have code that refers to win32con than have everyone defining these constants themselves. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-02-21 01:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 I added the numeric values to the docs in rev. 42516, 42517. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1323369&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
