[issue34112] 3.7.0 build error with --enable-optimizations

Jayanth Koushik added the comment: Hi. Do you mean turning of `--enable-optimizations` or reducing GCC optimization level (O3 etc)? -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue34

[issue34112] 3.7.0 build error with --enable-optimizations

New submission from Jayanth Koushik : I'm trying to build 3.7.0 locally (not as superuser) on a server. I am able to successfully build without `--enable-optimizations` enabled, but the build fails with it enabled. I have dependencies installed in custom locations as well, and this is my

[issue21510] fma documentation should provide better example.

Jayanth Koushik added the comment: @Mark: I agree. And perhaps it is also worth mentioning (on an unrelated note), that the decimal fma is not based on the internal cmath fma (it could not be) and unlike the cmath fma, it is no faster than an unfused multiply-add

[issue21510] fma documentation should provide better example.

New submission from Jayanth Koushik: The documentation for decimal.fma provides an example which fails to illustrate the most important feature of the function i.e. single rounding. In fact: Decimal(2).fma(3, 5) == Decimal(2)*3 + 5 An example such as this would make it much more clear

[issue21232] Use of '1' instead of 'True' as 'splitlines' argument in difflib documentation

New submission from Jayanth Koushik: In the difflib documentation, multiple uses of 'splitlines' use '1' as the 'keepends' argument. In Python 2.x, 1 is not guaranteed to be True and while this is guaranteed in 3.x, it would be much clearer to specify the argument as 'True
