New submission from JJeffries <jamesjeffri...@gmail.com>: The Python C API manual page for data marshaling contains the following paragraph.
XXX What about error detection? It appears that reading past the end of the file will always result in a negative numeric value (where that’s relevant), but it’s not clear that negative values won’t be handled properly when there’s no error. What’s the right way to tell? Should only non-negative values be written using these routines? I suggest that the XXX should be removed as it is unclear why it's there. Patch to follow in the next couple of days if others agree. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 141959 nosy: JJeffries, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: C API marshalling doc contains XXX _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12743> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
