							|  |  |  | Python is a mature programming language which has established a reputation for
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | stability.  In order to maintain this reputation, the developers would like to
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | know of any deficiencies you find in Python.

										 |  |  | It can be sometimes faster to fix bugs yourself and contribute patches to
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Python as it streamlines the process and involves less people. Learn how to

 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ==============================
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Bug reports for Python itself should be submitted via the Python Bug Tracker
 | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2014-10-13 12:55:21 -07:00
										 |  |  | (https://bugs.python.org/).  The bug tracker offers a Web form which allows
 | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2007-08-15 14:28:22 +00:00
										 |  |  | pertinent information to be entered and submitted to the developers.
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | The first step in filing a report is to determine whether the problem has
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | already been reported.  The advantage in doing so, aside from saving the
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | developers time, is that you learn what has been done to fix it; it may be that
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | the problem has already been fixed for the next release, or additional
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | information is needed (in which case you are welcome to provide it if you can!).
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | To do this, search the bug database using the search box on the top of the page.
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | If the problem you're reporting is not already in the bug tracker, go back to
 |

  test_math and test_cmath are failing on the FreeBSD 6.2 trunk buildbot,

  This should fix issue2632.  A long description of the two competing
  problems is in the bug report (one old, one recently introduced trying
  to fix the old one).  In short:
  buffer data during socket._fileobject.read() and readlines() within a
  cStringIO object instead of a [] of str()s returned from the recv()
  call.
  This prevents excessive memory use due to the size parameter being
  passed to recv() being grossly larger than the actual size of the data
  returned *and* prevents excessive cpu usage due to looping in python
  calling recv() with a very tiny size value if min() is used as the
  previous memory-use bug "fix" did.
  It also documents what the socket._fileobject._rbufsize member is
  actually used for.
  This is a candidate for back porting to 2.5.

  In test_io, StatefulIncrementalDecoderTest was not part of the test suite.
  And of course, the test failed:
  a bytearray was used without reason in io.TextIOWrapper.tell().
  The difference is that iterating over bytes (i.e. str in python2.6) returns 1-char bytes,
  whereas bytearrays yield integers.
  This code should still work with python3.0
