Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13936/datetime.time(0,0,0) evaluates to False despite being a valid time: (link)
BTW, "being a valid time" is not a good argument: 0, "" or False are all valid instances of their types.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13936/datetime.time(0,0,0) evaluates to False despite being a valid time: (link)
It must be by design -- someone has implemented a __bool__ (formerly __nonzero__) method; otherwise all objects would be true.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13927/Extra spaces in the output of time.ctime: (link)
asctime() docs say it's a 24 char string.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13918/locale.atof documentation is missing func argument: (link)
[pending] I don't think that argument needs to be documented. It's just there because somebody thought that copying 3 lines from atof into atoi w ...

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13857/Add textwrap.indent() as counterpart to textwrap.dedent(): (link)
IMO removing trailing newlines is not acceptable. You could use splitlines(keepends=True) to keep final newlines (but then the default function th ...

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13868/Add hyphen doc fix: (link)
Wow, does that mean he can cash in a Knuth check?

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #4966/Improving Lib Doc Sequence Types Section: (link)
ISTM that not doing this will make maintenance harder. For 2.7 I agree that there is no clear boundary to make, but 3.2 should be split up as wel ...

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13899/re pattern r"[\A]" should work like "A" but matches nothing. Ditto B and Z.: (link)
Interesting. That shifts the issue, since the current behavior is neither of the two that make sense. Then it would indeed make the most sense to ...

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13900/documentation page on email.parser contains self-referential non-definition of headersonly parameter: (link)
Should now be fixed. Thanks for the report.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13899/re pattern r"[\A]" should work like "A" but matches nothing. Ditto B and Z.: (link)
r'[\w]' also matches word chars. I find that a very useful property, since you can easily build classes like '[\w.]' It's also impossible to cha ...

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13857/Add textwrap.indent() as counterpart to textwrap.dedent(): (link)
Otherwise +1.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13857/Add textwrap.indent() as counterpart to textwrap.dedent(): (link)
BTW, the short spelling looks like it wouldn't indent the first line.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #6210/Exception Chaining missing method for suppressing context: (link)
Hmm, so "from None" sets cause to "True", while all other "from X" sets cause to "X". That does not sound like a good idea to me.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #2636/Adding a new regex module (compatible with re): (link)
Well, REs are very often used to process large chunks of text by repeated application. So if the whole operation takes 0.1 or 20 seconds you're g ...

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #2636/Adding a new regex module (compatible with re): (link)
I created a new sandbox branch to integrate regex into CPython, see "remote repo" field.

 I mainly had to adapt the test suite to use unittest.

Commit by georg.brandl on roundup :: #13844/hg.python.org doesn't escape title attributes in annotate view: (link)
Quickfixed it locally now. Let's hope hg itself fixes it more comprehensively.
