comma after leading optional argument
by Chris Jerdonek Aug. 31, 2012

Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:37:03 +0000 From: Peter Wentworth <p.wentworth(a)ru.ac.za> Subject: [docs] Python 3 documentation bugs? > In a number of places we find documentation with optional leading arguments where the meta-notation (square brackets) are in the wrong place. For example, for range, the standard doc heading says > > range([start], stop [, step]) # The comma after start should be inside the square bracket, not outside. Thanks for the report. I filed an issue to track this here: http://bugs.python.org/issue15831 --Chris

Character Encoding corner case
by Phillip Aug. 31, 2012

Aug. 31, 2012

The python.org server seems to be serving this page: http://docs.python.org/library/curses.ascii.html using the "us-ascii" character encoding in the headers... which causes things like the dash in the page title, and the paragraph mark "link to this section" link in the header, to display incorrectly (at least in Firefox and Chrome, the browsers I have available to test it in). It doesn't appear to be happening on any other pages... I think the web server is just guessing the content type based on the filename. -- Phlip <link rel="signature" type="text/hilarious" href="/funnysig.txt" />

'print'-syntax error
by L P Aug. 31, 2012

Aug. 31, 2012

Dear Community! I have a problem with my python interpreter, as the subject shows, it's about the ,print'-command. It's the following: >>> print "Hello" SyntaxError: invalid syntax After telling me there's an error, it points at the second quote. I've no idea why this happens all the time. I already copied source code from a python ebook, but it still doesn't work. And that error occurs whilst using the GUI and the command line. I'm using Python 3.2 on Windows (64-bit). Please help me out as soon as possible, as I finally want to begin learning python J Thanks in advance.
