spelling mistake
by stehlampen＠arcor.de Oct. 4, 2012

Oct. 4, 2012

The documentation of the time module contains a spelling mistake. In the entry " class time.struct_time", in "Changed in version 3.3", you can find "avaliable". The correct spelling is "available". This mistake exists only in version 3.3. Kinds regards.

Documentation style conventions?
by Jes Slow Oct. 3, 2012

Oct. 3, 2012
