[issue2933] Documenting Python: Syntax bug
New submission from Wallace Owen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The 'documenting Python' document, section 4.1, at this url: http://docs.python.org/doc/latex-syntax.html has an incorrect (but correctly spelled) word in one of it's sentences: Macros which take no parameters but which should not be followed by a word space do not need special treatment if the following character in the document source if not a name character (such as punctuation). The phrase source if not a name should be source is not a name. By the way, in attempting to classify this bug within the parameters allowed, I observe that there is no correct 'Type' for this bug: none of the allowed choices seem to apply. It's not a crash, compile error, resource usage, security, behavior, performance or feature request. I figured feature request would ring the fewest alarm bells, so I used that. -- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 67143 nosy: georg.brandl, owen severity: normal status: open title: Documenting Python: Syntax bug type: feature request versions: Python 3.0 __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2933 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue2933] Documenting Python: Syntax bug
Wallace Owen [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Thanks for the fast attention. One question: How do I access and use these docs? I went looking for the instructions on documenting, so when I contribute, the docs I do are in the right format. The url I was reading didn't have a '2.5' in it's path, it was: http://docs.python.org/doc/latex-syntax.html I navigated there by selecting Browse Current Documentation at http://www.python.org/doc/ which took me directly to the 2.5.2 documentation page. If the 2.5 stuff isn't current, this link would appear to be bad. Should I submit a bug, or have I jammed my head too far up my ass to be useful? :^) // Wally On Wed, 2008-05-21 at 03:07 +, Benjamin Peterson wrote: Benjamin Peterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Thanks for the report. However, since we have moved to a new doc format (reST), we are not maintaining the 2.5 docs. -- nosy: +benjamin.peterson resolution: - wont fix status: open - closed versions: +Python 2.5 -Python 3.0 __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2933 __ __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2933 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
Re: Perl XML::Simple and Data::Dumper - exists in Python?
Miguel Manso wrote: Hi there, I'm a Perl programmer trying to get into Python. I've been reading some documentation and I've choosed Python has being the next step to give. Can you point me out to Python solutions for: 1) Perl's Data::Dumper It dumps any perl variable to the stdout in a readable way. All Python objects support reflection and can be serialized to a data stream. There's about four ways to do it (Kinda perl-like in that regard, but typically for a particular application there's one obvious right choice). You control the way your objects appear as strings, by defining a __str__ member function that'll be invoked if the user does: % print str(yourObject) You can print any builtin type with just: lst = [one, two, (3, 4.56), 1] print lst ['one', 'two', (3, 4.5596), 1] 2) Perl's XML::Simple It maps a XML file into a Perl data structure. Python's got a Document Object Model lib that essentially maps an XML file to objects that have built-in-type behavior - you can treat a NodeList object as a python list, indexing into it, iterating over it's contents, etc. It's also got SAX and expat bindings. Does Python have something like these two tools? I've been googling before posting this and didn't find anything. Do your searches at python.org. // Wally -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
