[issue13666] datetime documentation typos
Aaron Maenpaa added the comment: This patch fixes the rzinfo typo as well as the GMT2 issue (GMT +2 should behave exactly the same as GMT +1 with regards to DST, it's base offset should simply be +2 hours instead of +1). This does not; however, address the comment about the first line of the tzinfo.utcoffset(). The fact that tzinfo.utcoffset() should return a timedelta or None is addressed later in the same paragraph, as such I'm not sure the proposed change is an improvement. -- keywords: +patch nosy: +zacherates Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24161/issue13666.diff ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue13666> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue13730] Grammar mistake in Decimal documentation
New submission from Aaron Maenpaa : In the sentance: "In contrast, numbers like 1.1 and 2.2 do not have an exact representations in binary floating point." there is a mismatch in number between "an" and "representations". I suggest removing "an" to make the whole thing plural. A patch is attached. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: plural.diff keywords: patch messages: 150813 nosy: docs@python, zacherates priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Grammar mistake in Decimal documentation versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24164/plural.diff ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue13730> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue13731] Awkward phrasing in Decimal documentation
New submission from Aaron Maenpaa : The paragraph: "The exactness carries over into arithmetic. In decimal floating point, 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 - 0.3 is exactly equal to zero. In binary floating point, the result is 5.5511151231257827e-017. While near to zero, the differences prevent reliable equality testing and differences can accumulate. For this reason, decimal is preferred in accounting applications which have strict equality invariants." ... has some awkward phrasing to my ear. I've attached a patch with a proposed alternative. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: rephrase.diff keywords: patch messages: 150814 nosy: docs@python, zacherates priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Awkward phrasing in Decimal documentation versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24165/rephrase.diff ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue13731> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue13731] Awkward phrasing in Decimal documentation
Aaron Maenpaa added the comment: That's fine. I'm not particularly attached to that phrasing. The one thing I would push for is to add a comma to "... decimal is preferred in accounting applications which have strict equality invariants." ... since, as far as I can tell, "which have strict equality invariants" is supposed to be a parenthetical statement explaining why accounting applications prefer to use decimal arithmetic, rather than a constraints on the preference for decimal arithmetic to only those accounting applications that have "strict equality invariants". -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue13731> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
