[issue8686] "This isn't defined beyond that" phrase is not friendly to non-native English speakers.
by INADA Naoki 17 Oct '10

17 Oct '10

New submission from INADA Naoki <songofacandy(a)gmail.com>: http://docs.python.org/library/difflib.html#difflib.SequenceMatcher.quick_r… > This isn’t defined beyond that it is an upper bound on ratio(), and is faster to compute. "beyond" is a bit confusing because it also means "over" and this sentence refers upper bound. I think "This isn't defined in detail more than..." is easier. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 105498 nosy: docs@python, naoki priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: "This isn't defined beyond that" phrase is not friendly to non-native English speakers. versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8686> _______________________________________

[issue8556] Confusing string formatting examples
by Jeff McNeil 17 Oct '10

17 Oct '10

New submission from Jeff McNeil <jeff(a)jmcneil.net>: I was going through the string formatting examples this evening and noticed this: print '%(language)s has %(#)03d quote types.' % \ {'language': "Python", "#": 2} The example uses a '#' as a map key. This is somewhat misleading as if we had simply left the parenthesis off, the '#' would have been interpreted as an alternate conversion flag. Should be updated to use a more verbose (and less confusing) dictionary key. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: stdtypes.rst.2.6.5.patch keywords: patch messages: 104410 nosy: docs@python, mcjeff priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Confusing string formatting examples versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17115/stdtypes.rst.2.6.5.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8556> _______________________________________
