[issue12825] Missing and incorrect link to a command line option.

[Kyle Simpson]

New submission from Kyle Simpson :

The documentation for the runpy module has a link to the -m command line 
option. In version 2.7.2 of the docs, the link doesn't exist.

http://docs.python.org/release/2.7/library/runpy.html
http://docs.python.org/release/2.7.2/library/runpy.html

If you run

touch library/runpy.rst
make html

then the link is created, but with an anchor of "cmdoption-unittest-discover-m" 
instead of "cmdoption-m".

http://docs.python.org/release/2.7.2/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-unittest-discover-m

[issue17725] English mistake in Extending and Embedding Python doc page.

[Kyle Simpson]

New submission from Kyle Simpson:

The second sentence in http://docs.python.org/3/extending/index.html says:

  Those modules can define new functions but also new
  object types and their methods.

The word "but" doesn't make sense here. I suppose that the
author meant to write:

  Those modules can not only define new functions but
  also new object types and their methods.

[issue17735] inspect.findsource throws IndexError

[Kyle Simpson]

New submission from Kyle Simpson:

Here is one way to reproduce this bug:

1. Create a module file (bug.py in this example)

def func():
pass

2. Run Python

>>> import bug
>>> help(bug)

3. Edit bug.py

def func():
pass

def newfunc():
pass

4. Use the same Python interpreter as in step 2

>>> reload(bug)
>>> help(bug)

5. Observe traceback

  [..snip..]
  File "C:\Python27\lib\inspect.py", line 578, in findsource
if pat.match(lines[lnum]): break
IndexError: list index out of range


Note: A related but different issue is http://bugs.python.org/issue1218234.

[issue17735] inspect.findsource throws IndexError

[Kyle Simpson]

Kyle Simpson added the comment:

Right, this issue is about the IndexError.

The current patch for issue 1218234 doesn't solve this problem. You will still 
get IndexErrors, but you will get them when functions are removed rather than 
when functions are added.

I think we should simply throw an IOError instead of an IndexError. This 
matches the docstring and prevents help() from blowing up after reloading a 
module.

[issue12825] Missing and incorrect link to a command line option.

Kyle Simpson added the comment:

I can't reproduce this issue for v2.7.2 anymore, and none of the other versions 
have this problem.

Is it possible to regenerate the online docs for v2.7.2 before closing this 
issue?
