Suggestion for Downloadable Documentation
by Victor Yore Feb. 27, 2025

Feb. 27, 2025

Hello, I was trying to download the tutorial portion of the documentation only. I think it would be helpful to have options for downloading sections of the documentation instead of the entire document. Whether that be chapters or sections. With the entire document when I go to table of contents, I have to scroll through pages and pages of “What’s new in Python x.x” and change logs before I get to the tutorial section. Let me know what you think or what I can do. Thanks, Victor

A translation of the Python documentation into Romanian
by Octavian Mustafa Feb. 27, 2025

Feb. 27, 2025

Hello. I notice that there is, apparently, no translation into Romanian of the core Python docs (the Language Reference, the Library Reference). In such a case, may I start working on such a translation and, eventually, publish it? Thank you in advance for your insightful response.

No archives of 3.5.9 Documentation available
by Calvin Gavin Feb. 14, 2025

Feb. 14, 2025

Good day, I am a computer science student who was looking for the documentation for Python version 3.5.9. I am using the documentation for the old version of Python since I am uploading programs to UVA Online Judge, which uses python version 3.5 to judge submitted programs. When I went to download the documentation, I found that there were no versions of 3.5.9 documentation available for download. Would it be possible for you to upload them to the site? Thank you.

version select drop down list is broken in newer version of the docs
by mark.yagnatinsky＠barclays.com Feb. 10, 2025

Feb. 10, 2025

A picture is worth a thousand words here. Let's start with an old version of the python tutorial. https://docs.python.org/3.7/tutorial/index.html At the top of the page, we have a drop down menu: [cid:image001.png@01DB7BD2.A2A73FA0] Using this menu, we can quickly "flip back" to old versions of the tutorial (as far back as 2.7), or forward all the way to 3.13. We can do this for basically any page of documentation. Most importantly, we can do this for any part of the standard library. In python 3.8, the range of versions we can choose has expanded: we can pick versions that are long out of support like 2.6 or 3.1. I like this actually: it should be easy to get docs for python 2.6 even if no further updates are planned. (This is something Python does much better than the GNU project (in my opinion), where typically the website only has the docs for the latest and greatest version of, say, bash or grep conveniently accessible.) But starting from 3.8, clicking a version doesn't take you to "same" page in the new version. It drops you back at the table of contents. That's all I have for now I guess.

Documentation bug on 5.5 diccionarios
by zape.electronica Feb. 10, 2025

Feb. 10, 2025

Hi, I'm find an error in the translation on 5.5 diccionarios (in spanish) https://docs.python.org/es/3/tutorial/datastructures.html#dictionaries it's not translated the first paragraph "Another useful data type built into Python is the *dictionary* (see Tipos mapa — dict <https://docs.python.org/es/3/library/stdtypes.html#typesmapping>). Dictionaries are sometimes found in other languages as «associative memories» or «associative arrays». Unlike sequences, which are indexed by a range of numbers, dictionaries are indexed by *keys*, which can be any immutable type; strings and numbers can always be keys. Tuples can be used as keys if they contain only strings, numbers, or tuples; if a tuple contains any mutable object either directly or indirectly, it cannot be used as a key. You can’t use lists as keys, since lists can be modified in place using index assignments, slice assignments, or methods like append() and extend()." It should say "Otro tipo de dato de Python muy útil es el "diccionario" (ver Tipos maps --dict). Los diccionarios son hallados en ocasiones en otros lenguajes como «memorias asociativas o arreglos asociativos». A diferencia de las secuencias, las cuales son indexadas por un rango de números, los diccionarios son indexados por claves, las cuales pueden ser cualquier tipo inmutable; cadenas y numeros pueden ser siempre claves. Las tuplas pueden ser usadas como claves si ellas contienen solo cadenas, numeros o tuplas; Si una tupla contiene cualquier objeto mutable sea directa o inderectamente, no puede ser usada como clave. No puede usar listas como claves, debido a que las listas pueden ser modificadas en el lugar usando asignacion de indice, asignación por slice, o metodos como append() y extend()" Thank you Regards! Ricardo
