New submission from James Gerity <snoop.j...@gmail.com>:
The docstrings for `json.JSONEncoder, json.dump(), json.dumps()` all refer to `OverflowError` when describing the behavior of the `check_circular` parameter, but the module's test of this parameter catches a `RecursionError` and the documentation does make reference to recursion. Since the fix for bpo-43225 (7b78d43) the string-escaping machinery in `_json.c` is capable of raising OverflowError, but the reference in the documentation predates this addition by quite a long time. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 407837 nosy: SnoopJeDi, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: JSON module documentation mentions OverflowError for case that raises RecursionError versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46001> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
