[issue23740] http.client request and send method have some datatype issues

R. David Murray added the comment: Yeah, if we're going to check the type for iterables to convert strings, we might as well check the type for read() as well. The bit about the len not being set except for str and bytes was me mis-remembering what I read in the code. (The isinstance check is

[issue23725] update tempfile docs to say that TemporaryFile is secure

R. David Murray added the comment: If the first word is a function name that does not start with a capital, the sentence can't start with a capital. Sometimes it is worthwhile to reword the sentence so you can start it with a capitalizable word, but sometimes it isn't. (I haven't reviewed th

[issue23725] update tempfile docs to say that TemporaryFile is secure

Zbyszek Jędrzejewski-Szmek added the comment: > Please start sentences with capital letters, specifically “mkstemp() and > mkdtemp() are lower-level functions . . .”. This would make the sentence more convoluted... I think that with markup it is pretty clear that this is a function name and th

[issue23676] Add support of UnicodeTranslateError in standard error handlers

Martin Panter added the comment: I think I saw your patch for Issue 18814 proposes to use UnicodeTranslateError. Is there any other case where it is used, either currently or in the past? All I know of it is the documentation, which says it is raised “during translating”. Experimenting with th

[issue23062] test_argparse --version test cases

Martin Panter added the comment: Serhiy, there is already a test for that: class TestHelpVersionAction(HelpTestCase): """Test the default help for the version action""" So I still think the test is redundant, unless it is made to exercise help=SUPPRESS, as Berker’s patch does. --

[issue20059] Inconsistent urlparse/urllib.parse handling of invalid port values?

Martin Panter added the comment: Patch v2 just changes a test to use “with self.assertRaises()”. The behaviour of urlparse() succeeding and then result.port failing is indeed odd and surprising. Hopefully documenting this behaviour will help with the “surprising” aspect. But changing it would

[issue20271] urllib.parse.urlparse() accepts wrong URLs

Martin Panter added the comment: To me, the only difference between urlsplit() and urlparse() is that urlsplit() does not treat parameters following a semicolon specially. The documentation tends to agree with this view. So whatever exceptions are raised by urlparse() should also be raised by
