New submission from Rotzbua <bugs.python....@kryx.de>:
Problem: Both arguments `aliased` and `terse` should be boolean instead of integer. Description: The function is as `platform.platform(aliased=0, terse=0)` so both arguments `aliased` and `terse` seems to be numbers. The documentation says: "If aliased is true,[..]" which gives a hint that the type should be boolean instead of an integer. Looking into the implementation both arguments used as boolean. Solution: Update documentation and set default argument values to `False` instead of `0`. Reference: Current documentation: https://docs.python.org/3.11/library/platform.html#platform.platform ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 414198 nosy: Rotzbua, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Clarify argument type of platform.platform(aliased, terse) to boolean type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46882> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
