Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14133/improved PEP 409 implementation: (link)

I hope you're not disappointed when that PEP doesn't show up in the release notes :)

Re 5: the sentence needs to be rephrased in any case, because it's ungrammatical
 Re 8: it's not text, it's code, so it needs to go in code markup

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14760/logging: make setLevel() return handler itself for chained configuration: (link)

Well, can you find any other setter method of a "high level object" in the stdlib that returns self?

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14760/logging: make setLevel() return handler itself for chained configuration: (link)

-1. Attribute setters or mutating methods returning self is not a common pattern in Python. See list.sort().

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14754/Emacs configuration to enforce PEP7: (link)

[closed] As much as I like Emacs, I don't think it is special enough to warrant a special file in the root directory.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14749/Add 'Z' to skipitem() in Python/getargs.c: (link)

Sound good.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13183/pdb skips frames after hitting a breakpoint and running step: (link)

[closed] Should be fixed now.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14705/Add 'bool' format character to PyArg_ParseTuple*: (link)

Indeed, "because the code is written" is not a good argument if even you yourself are -0.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14656/Add a macro for unreachable code: (link)

> If there's a bug, either an exception should be raised, or a fatal error.
 > We should discourage warnings on stderr (the PHP approach).

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14387/Include\accu.h incompatible with Windows.h: (link)

[closed] I think so, yes.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14671/isinstance(obj, object) returns True for _old style_ class instances: (link)

[closed] This is a result of how old-style classes are implemented.

 If you look at type(Old()), you can see that it isn't Old, but "instance".

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14586/TypeError: truncate() takes no keyword arguments: (link)

The patch is wrong: PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords already handles the correct assignment of positional and keyword args, and raises exceptions accor ...

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14535/three code examples in docs are not syntax highlighted: (link)

Ezio: That's a "bug" in Sphinx; even when the language is selected explicitly as "python", it will try to parse the code. It is fixed in a later S ...

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14538/HTMLParser: parsing error: (link)

ISTM that "<meta / >" is neither valid HTML nor valid XHTML.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14554/test module: correction: (link)

I think a patch is missing :)

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14545/html module should not be available in Python 3.1: (link)

The comment that "html" was a package was not meant as a correction, but as an explanation why it already exists previous to its status as an offi ...

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14545/html module should not be available in Python 3.1: (link)

"html" is a package. The "html.parser" module, which was already in 3.0, cannot be importable without a "html" package, so in all 3.x versions the ...

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14502/Document better what happens on releasing an unacquired lock: (link)

Agreed. Jim, I think you're trying to get consistency where none is required.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14528/Document whether strings implement __iter__: (link)

"behaves like a list" is misleading. If you mean checking for iterable-ness, calling iter() on the object is the way to do it.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #14528/Document whether strings implement __iter__: (link)

Why is it so important if strings implement __iter__? They are iterable in both versions, since iteration falls back on __getitem__ if no __iter_ ...
