I fail to see absolutely any connection between Python Documentation 
and an import/export commodities fair.  The odds of anyone 
subscribed to 'doc-sig@python.org' wanting to know about this are 
incredibly low.  Please be more careful about where you post 
announcements in the future.

Thanks!

Subject: [Doc-SIG] Current list of undocumented modules
Message-ID: <14102.3959.23683.286034@weyr.cnri.reston.va.us>

  Here's my current list of undocumented modules.  Between the Python
modules listed and the unlisted C modules, there are about 100
undocumented modules which are not obsolete.  Some may be safely
ignored (*path come to mind), but many of these should be included in
the library reference.  If anyone would like to shorten the list, this
would be a really good time to send new sections along!

Subject: [Doc-SIG] Need someone to try some rarely used bsddb methods
Message-ID: <199904171308.IAA07434@x14.dejanews.com>




I noticed today that there is apparently still no documentation for the bsddb
module, so I started working on some.  While trying out the bsddb hash object
methods, I noticed a few didn't seem to work.  I tested this under Red Hat
Linux 5.0 (PC hardware) and Python 1.5.1.  I used Berkeley DB v 2.3.16 with
the backwards compatibility interface, so that might be causing my problems. 
I see no functional changes in the 1.5.2 version of the bsddb module, so I
doubt it's causing problems.

If you have the time, please try executing the following Python statements
and let me know what methods, if any, generate tracebacks.  I will need to
know what version of Python you used, what version of Berkeley DB you used,
and for completeness, what OS platform and version you used.  (If you use
version 2 of the DB library you will have to modify the bsddbmodule.c source
to include db_185.h instead of db.h.)

    import bsddb
    db = bsddb.hashopen("/tmp/spam.db", "c")
    for i in range(10): db["%d"%i] = "%d"% (i*i)
    db.keys()
    db.first()
    db.next()
    db.last()
    db.set_location('2')
    db.previous()
    db.sync()

The btree object (the one I use regularly) didn't have any problems.  The keys
returned with the record object seem to be screwed up:

    >>> db = bsddb.rnopen("/tmp/spamr.db", "c")
    >>> for i in range(10): db["%d"%i] = "%d"% (i*i)
    ...
    >>> db.keys()
    ['0\000\000\000', '1\000\000\000', '2\000\000\000', '3\000\000\000',
    '4\000\000\000', '5\000\000\000', '6\000\000\000', '7\000\000\000',
    '8\000\000\000', '9\000\000\000']

Can anyone confirm this rather odd behavior as well?

Private replies appreciated.

Thanks,
