Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

Do not modify the idle help.html, as it is automatically generated and the typo was fixed 4 months ago.

"referencable" and "referenceable" are both acceptable spellings. Let's just leave this file as it is. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/referencable

Thanks for the feedback. Corrected.

~~Aren't both of these changes correct?~~

Lib/_pyio.py

    This class provides dummy implementations for many methods that
    derived classes can override selectively; the default implementations
-    represent a file that cannot be read, written or seeked.
+    represent a file that cannot be read, written or sought.


While I understand this change, I think we can use seeked here. One existing wording is https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaElement/seeked_event which relates to seek operations.

LGTM (importlib/resources/_common.py).

Merged, thanks. I don't think that it's worth it to backport the change.

terryjreedy · 2024-09-03T08:22:53Z

I want idlelib changes backported. Since _strptime change will not backport to 3.12, will do new PR after 3.13.0.

I'm getting the "ambiguious" typo in Python 3.13 - might be worth backporting as a bugfix.

Just checking for "year specified is ambiguious and" on Github shows lots of exact matches: https://github.com/search?q=%22year+specified+is+ambiguious%22&type=code
