[issue37963] No URL for docs of pth files

2019-08-27 Thread Thomas Güttler

New submission from Thomas Güttler :

if you google for "python pth" you get to the "sites" docs.

It would be very nice if you could create a direct URL to the docs of pth files.

This makes it easier to point new comers into the right direction if you answer 
questions at stackoverflow (or other places).

See: https://www.google.com/search?q=python+pth

[issue26433] urllib.urlencode() does not explain how to handle unicode

2016-02-25 Thread Thomas Güttler

New submission from Thomas Güttler:

The current docs for Python2, don't explain how to handle unicode:

https://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib.html#urllib.urlencode

It seems to be a common problem. See 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6480723/urllib-urlencode-doesnt-like-unicode-values-how-about-this-workaround

It would be nice to document the most pythonic way to handle unicode in 
urllib.urlencode()

[issue23625] load_module() docs: zipped eggs are not loaded.

2015-03-10 Thread Thomas Güttler

New submission from Thomas Güttler:

Please update the docs of imp.find_module()

https://docs.python.org/2/library/imp.html#imp.find_module

zipped egg files in sys.path are not found.

Please provide a link how to find modules in sys.path like the interpreter does 
(with support of zipped egg files).

[issue24135] Policy for altering sys.path

2015-05-06 Thread Thomas Güttler

New submission from Thomas Güttler:

I am missing a policy how sys.path should be altered.

We run a custom sub class of list in sys.path. We set it in sitecustomize.py

This instance get replace by a common list in lines like this:

sys.path = glob.glob(os.path.join(WHEEL_DIR, "*.whl")) + sys.path

The above line is from pip, it similar things happen in a lot of packages.

Before trying to solve this with code, I think the python community should 
agree an a policy for altering sys.path.

What can I do to this done?

We use Python 2.7.

[issue24259] tar.extractall() does not recognize unexpected EOF

2015-05-21 Thread Thomas Güttler

New submission from Thomas Güttler:

The Python tarfile library does not detect a broken tar.

user@host$ wc -c good.tar
143360 good.tar

user@host$ head -c 13 good.tar > cut.tar

user@host$ tar -tf cut.tar 
...
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Very nice, the command line tool recognizes an unexpected EOF.

user@host$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56) 
>>> import tarfile
>>> tar=tarfile.open('cut.tar')
>>> tar.extractall()

Not nice. The Python library decodes the file, but raises no exception.

Is this a bug or feature?
