[issue47081] Replace "qualifiers" with "quantifiers" in the re module documentation
New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython@gmail.com>: In the Web you can find that two terms are used for repetition operators (+, *, ?, and variants): "quantifiers" and "qualifiers". "Quantifiers" is much more common, it is used in Wikipedia and main on-line documentation resources. But "qualifiers" is consistently used in the re module code documentation. It looks to me that "qualifiers" is just a reproduced typo. I propose to replace it with "quantifiers". ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Regular Expressions messages: 415686 nosy: docs@python, ezio.melotti, mrabarnett, serhiy.storchaka, tim.peters priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Replace "qualifiers" with "quantifiers" in the re module documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue47081> _______________________________________

Matthew Barnett <python@mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment: I don't think it's a typo, and you could argue the case for "qualifiers", but I still agree with the proposal as it's a more meaningful term in the context. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue47081> _______________________________________
