Documentation bug: Errors and Exceptions
by Andrew Searles 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

Hi I was reading the tutorial for python when I noticed a typo! I have included the link and section for the page: https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/errors.html 8.5. User-defined Exceptions *English error:* When creating a module that can raise several distinct errors, a common practice is to create a base class for exceptions defined by that module, and *subclass that to create *specific exception classes for different error conditions: *Possible suggestion:* When creating a module that can raise several distinct errors, a common practice is to create a base class for exceptions defined by that module, and *a subclass to create *specific exception classes for different error conditions: Best, Andrew

print() separator argument
by Gilberto Agostinho 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

Hello, This is a very minor report: in the documentation of both Python 3.6 and 3.7, the print() built-in function is said to have a default separator value as sep=' ' in the first line of this function documentation, i.e. ' print(*objects, sep=' ', end='\n', file=sys.stdout, flush=False)'. I believe the correct default argument should be sep=' ', since the default separator adds a space between print()'s arguments -- that is, the default print('foo', 'bar') is equivalent to print('foo', 'bar', sep=' '), both producing 'foo bar', and not equivalent to print('foo', 'bar', sep='') which produces 'foobar'. Links for the pages below: https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/functions.html#print https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/functions.html#print Best, Gilberto Agostinho
