[issue9444] argparse does not honor prefix_chars when adding default options

Theodore Turocy added the comment: Looking at the test fixtures that exercise argparse, it appears that the intended behavior when '-' is not a prefix_char is to accept a doubling of any of the prefix_chars for long arguments. That is, if '-' is not present in prefix_chars but ':' is, then a

Dan Buch added the comment: I first verified that the relevant parts of ``locale:getdefaultlocale`` have been unchanged since 2005-10-17. I'm adding a patch to remove default support for the LANGUAGE variable and tests to assert that values like 'en_DK:en_GB:en_US' raise ValueError (plus ass

[issue2118] smtplib.SMTP() raises socket.error rather than SMTPConnectError

R. David Murray added the comment: A little backstory: the patch was created during the PyOhio sprint, and as we recreated the patch for py3k we noticed that SMTPConnectError is providing an *SMTP* error code. The gaierrors are obviously not SMTP errors. To allow the agreed upon semantics (
