[issue16432] Template strings documentation in Python 3 refers to % substitution in present tense
New submission from Andrew Gorcester:
Documentation here:
http://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#template-strings says "Instead of
the normal %-based substitutions, Templates support $-based substitutions..."
I believe it is confusing to refer to %-based substitutions in a way that
implies they still exist in Python 3. It would be better to fix this to either
refer to {} substitution or to remove the reference comparing it to normal
string substitution altogether.

[issue16432] Template strings documentation in Python 3 refers to % substitution in present tense
Andrew Gorcester added the comment: Sorry, my mistake -- I thought that %-based formatting had been deprecated and removed by now, because it wasn't documented in library/string.html . However, I still think referring to %-based formatting as "normal" in Python 3 is confusing to readers as it is not the preferred system. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue16432> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue8523] shutil.rmtree and os.listdir cannot recover on error conditions
Andrew Gorcester added the comment: Product of the #pycon 2013 sprint with r.david.murray's assistance. This implements the list of results as per tarek's suggested 1/ behavior in cases where ignore_errors=True. Parameters accepted are not changed; return value is changed from None to an empty list in case of no errors or onerror defined by the user, and to a list of tuples exactly like onerror arguments in the case of ignore_errors=True. As the ignore_errors=True closure-based implementation was adopted from test_shutil.py code, test_shutil.py is changed in one place to take advantage of the new return value in order to add coverage of the new functionality. -- keywords: +patch nosy: +andrewsg Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29460/rmtree_ignore_errors_returns_list.patch ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue8523> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
