New submission from Marcus <of4tv...@online.de>:
Some stdlib modules have external build time dependencies and will be automatically disabled if the dependencies can't be met (cf. detect_modules() in setup.py). >From a user's perspective there is no reason to assume that the presence of a >stdlib module may not be relied upon. See also the discussion on python-ideas >(https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2018-October/054008.html). A rather simple to implement debugging aid would be to add a note to the affected modules' documentation, stating that these modules may not be available on all systems. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 327065 nosy: docs@python, of4tvziy priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Mark optional stdlib modules in documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34895> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
