[issue7076] Documentation add note about SystemRandom
chuck jan.hos...@gmail.com added the comment: I think many people who are looking for a random number generator end up on this page and need to be informed if there are alternatives so they can make up their own mind. If you want to discourage people to use it, that's fine and we can do so, but I think it's wrong to hide it from people who don't suspect random functions which are os dependent to be in the os package instead of the random package or don't even know about the os random facility. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7076 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue6462] bsddb3 intermittent test failures
R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: Unless someone objects, I'm going to disable the replication timeout check unconditionally, since it is the worst culprit for buildbot stability on 2.x. Note that issue 3892 indicates it happens consistently on windows, and there was already a partial disable for that platform.

[issue7117] Backport py3k float repr to trunk
Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com added the comment: Here's a patch for correctly-rounded round in trunk. This patch doesn't change the rounding behaviour between 2.6 and 2.7: it's still doing round-half-away-from-zero instead of round-half-even. It was necessary to detect and treat halfway cases specially to make this work. Removing this special case code would be easy, so we can decide later whether it's worth changing round to do round-half-to-even for 2.7. I want to let this sit for a couple of days before I apply it. -- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15254/round_fixup.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7117 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue7257] Improve documentation of list.sort and sorted()
New submission from Ole Laursen o...@iola.dk:
On my Python 3.1, help() for sorted returns
sort(...)
L.sort(key=None, reverse=False) -- stable sort *IN PLACE*
sorted(...)
sorted(iterable, key=None, reverse=False) -- new sorted list
Kindly suggest this be expanded. Here's some text:
sort(...)
Sorts the sequence with a fast stable sort. The sequence is modified in
place. To remind you of this, the function always returns None. Example:
a = [1, 3, 2]
a.sort()
# a is now [1, 2, 3]
Use the sorted() built-in function if you need to preserve the
original list.
Set reverse to True to sort the elements in reverse order. A function
for extracting a key for comparison from each object can be passed in as
key, e.g.
a = [{'k': 'foo'}, {'k': 'bar'}]
a.sort(key=lambda x: x['k'])
# a is now [{'k': 'bar'}, {'k': 'foo'}]
Note that key can be used to solve many sorting problems, e.g.
key=str.lower can be used for case-insensitive sorting and key=lambda x:
(x['a'], x['b']) can be used to sort by first 'a' then 'b'.
The sort is stable which means that the relative order of elements that
compare equal is not changed.
sorted(...)
Sorts the sequence with a fast stable sort and returns a new list with
the result. Example:
[same text as before]
I'm not sure how this interacts with what's in the online help
(http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/stdtypes.html search for sort(),
maybe the text could just be copied over. I think it's important to give
copy-pasteable examples for something as important as this, and hint at
how you solve common sorting problems.

[issue7250] wsgiref.handlers.CGIHandler caches os.environ, leaking info between requests
Phillip J. Eby p...@telecommunity.com added the comment: This is not an issue with CGI, but an issue with using an inappropriate WSGI handler for a long-running process environment that only emulates CGI. That is, in a true CGI environment, there can't be *multiple* requests made to CGIHandler, and so it can't leak. In normal (i.e. pre-GAE) long-running web environments, os.environ would not contain any request information, only the process startup environment. This limitation of CGIHandler should be better documented, but it's a natural consequence of its design. The os_environ and base_environ variables are provided so that subclasses with specialized needs can handle them differently, and GAE is definitely a specialized need. If someone wants to provide a GAEHandler class, great; otherwise, the documented way to run a WSGI app under GAE is the google.appengine.ext.webapp.util.run_wsgi_app function. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7250 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue7259] Documentation update for operator module
New submission from Gabriel Genellina gagsl-...@yahoo.com.ar: This patch fixes some issues with the documentation of the operator module: - docstrings for all augmented assignments incorrectly stated, e.g., `operator.iadd(a,b)` is the same as `a += b`. The main documentation shows `a = operator.iadd(a,b)` instead, and that's correct. This patch updates all affected docstrings in the operator.c module. - Added +obj to the table of operators. - Replaced getslice/setslice/delslice examples (deprecated) with their getitem/setitem/delitem equivalents.

[issue7260] SyntaxError with a not-existing offset for unicode code

Hello,
This is from the current svn:

Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
try:
... eval(u'שלום')
... except SyntaxError as e:
... e
...
SyntaxError('invalid syntax', ('string', 1, 11, u'שלום'))
As you can see, the offset (11) refers to a non-existing character, as
the code contains only 7 characters.
Thanks,
