I will let others defend it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5212> _______________________________________

.:. brainsik <spork-python(a)theory.org> added the comment: Since the note is incorrect, it seems like it should be removed. What "results it is based on" are you referring to and what complaints are you concerned about? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5212> _______________________________________

[issue8653] urlparse.urlparse/urlsplit doc missing
by Dave Abrahams June 28, 2010

June 28, 2010

New submission from Dave Abrahams <dave(a)boostpro.com>: The docstrings for these functions don't explain the 'scheme' parameter. Even renaming it to default_scheme would help. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 105221 nosy: dabrahams, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: urlparse.urlparse/urlsplit doc missing _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8653> _______________________________________

Tutorial 4.3 Range, print(range(x)) does return list
by Anatoly Y June 27, 2010

June 27, 2010

Hi, http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/tutorial/controlflow.html#the-range-function | A strange thing happens if you just print a range: | >>> print(range(10)) | range(0, 10) | In many ways the object returned by range() behaves as if it is a list, but in fact it isn’t. | It is an object which returns the successive items of the desired sequence when you iterate over it, | but it doesn’t really make the list, thus saving space. ^^ This is not true for 3.2.1 and 2.6.4 Python 2.6.4 (r264:75708, Oct 26 2009, 08:23:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 >>> print(range(5)) [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] >>> type(range(5)) <type 'list'> BR, AY
