New submission from Karl Magdsick :
In http://docs.python.org/dev/library/struct.html,
it says
"Native byte order is big-endian or little-endian, depending on the host
system. For example, Motorola and Sun processors are big-endian; Intel
and DEC processors are little-endian."
New submission from Karl Richter:
Due to the fact that `pdb` currently simply ignores breakpoints which are set
and hit in another than the main thread the docs need to contain a statement on
behavior in a multithreaded environment.

`shelve.open(tempfile.mkstemp()[1])` fails with error "anydbm.error: db type

EDIT 1: other examples, e.g.

curdir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
passwords = shelve.open(os.path.join(curdir, 'password_db'))
work, so there's need for usable
Karl Richter added the comment:
Then, let the error message say "You are opening a just-created empty file.
The db type of the file cannot, therefore, be determined." which is much
clearer than "anydbm.error: db type could not be determined" which sounds like
a generic fa

For example, it should be clear why `shelve.open(tempfile.mkstemp()[1])` fails
with the mentioned exception and `shelve.open("/tmp/bla")` fails. I still
haven't figured out the constraints to create a working `shelve.Shelve` at all.

After checking the code, I think that it'd make more sense to document

determination of the database type. Currently there're only function comments

`gcc` 4.9 is more restictive and recognizes that the empty definition of the

It's a fatal warning of `gcc 4.9.2`, not an error (my bad) for `int i;` in
