* Various sections were pointing to the section on the string.Formatter
class, when the section on the common format string syntax is probably more
appropriate
* Fix references to various format() functions and methods
* Nested replacement fields may contain conversions and format specifiers,
and this is tested; see Issue #19729 for instance
Issue #26248, patch written by Ben Hoyt:
1) Clarify that the return values of is_dir()/is_file()/etc are cached
separately for follow_symlinks True and False.
2) Be more specific about when the functions require a system call, and how it
relates to caching and follow_symlinks.
3) DRY up common stuff between is_dir and is_file by saying "Caching, system
calls made, and exceptions raised are as per is_dir" in is_file.
4) Tweak to the first paragraph of docs for is_dir/is_file to simplify: assume
the follow_symlinks=True default, then note the follow_symlinks=False
non-default case after.
with no known parent package.
Previously SystemError was raised if the parent package didn't exist
(e.g., __package__ was set to '').
Thanks to Florent Xicluna and Yongzhi Pan for reporting the issue.
In a previous change, __spec__.parent was prioritized over
__package__. That is a backwards-compatibility break, but we do
eventually want __spec__ to be the ground truth for module details. So
this change reverts the change in semantics and instead raises an
ImportWarning when __package__ != __spec__.parent to give people time
to adjust to using spec objects.
Issue #25907: Use {% trans %} tags in HTML templates to ease the translation of
the documentation. The tag comes from Jinja templating system, used by Sphinx.
Patch written by Julien Palard.
A single call to Pool.apply_async() will create only one process. To use all
of the pool's processes, it should be invoked multiple times:
with Pool(processes=4) as pool:
results = [pool.apply_async(func, ()) for i in range(4)]
