New submission from Robert Lehmann <lehman...@gmail.com>: There are a few errors in the ctypes documentation covering function calls using the example of `libc.printf`. It's basically just typos but they are really confusing when trying to understand the examples.
Patch to trunk is attached. Corrections should apply to 3.x as well but I'm unsure whether they apply cleanly to those branches, see issue4309 for details. Unicode coercion as in printf("%S", u"abc") keeps segfaulting for me with 2.5 so I'm unsure about the example's validity there; corrections could be backported to 2.5-maint as well though. 2.4 and below are not affected: ctypes was not present in these versions. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation files: ctypes-docs.patch keywords: patch messages: 87733 nosy: georg.brandl, lehmannro severity: normal status: open title: Minor typos in ctypes docs versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13981/ctypes-docs.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6019> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
