The contents page of the Library Reference has a few warts: - A few section headers (e.g. operator, pprint, repr) end in periods that probably ought to be deleted. (Complete list: 3.5, 3.23, 3.24, 3.27, 3.32, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 5.10, 6.13, 6.15, 7.1, 7.6, 11.11, 11.12, 11.13, 12.13, 12.14, 14.9, 14.10, 15.4.) - Description of 3.28 "new" doesn't make much sense: "runtime implementation object creation" (probably you want to replace "implementation" with "instance") - Description of 4.3 "regex" should probably say "old" or "deprecated". - Description of 6.12 "curses" has a spelling mistake: "Terminal independant (sic) console handling". - Description of 7.14 "rlcompleter" probably ought to say "Completion function for GNU readline". - Descriptions of 11.14 "SimpleHTTPServer" and 11.15 "CGIHTTPServer" seem strange: "A Do-Something Request Handler". Suggest "11.14 SimpleHTTPServer -- A simple HTTP request handler" and "11.16 CGIHTTPServer -- A CGI-capable HTTP request handler". Hope this helps. -- ?!ng "I'm not trying not to answer the question; i'm just not answering it." -- Lenore Snell

Ok, I finally re-discovered this message and have fixed the problems you've identified, with the exception of...
- Description of 4.3 "regex" should probably say "old" or "deprecated".
this one! It doesn't seem useful since the docs for this module are no longer included in the formatted manuals. Thanks for sending the comments, and sorry for letting them sit idle for so long! -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at beopen.com> BeOpen PythonLabs Team Member
