Josh Triplett <j...@joshtriplett.org> added the comment: The current behavior of pydoc will cause synopsis to always incorrectly return "None" as the synopsis for any module with mtime == 0. Both of the proposed fixes will fix that bug without affecting any case where mtime != 0, so I don't think either one has backward-compatibility issues.
I'd suggest using the fix of changing the .get call to return a default of (None, None) and changing the conditional to "lastupdate is not None and lastupdate < mtime". That variant seems like more obvious code (since None clearly means "no lastupdate time"), and it avoids special-casing an mtime of 0 and bypassing the synopsis cache. I don't mind writing a patch if that would help this fix get in. I'll try to write onein the near future, but I certainly won't mind if someone else beats me to it. :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12603> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
