Hello Python Docs, TLDR: I think it should probably say 'REAL' not 'FLOAT' as the SQLite datatype in 11.13.1 of sqlite3. I am reading the sqlite3 page http://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html for Python v2.7.5. It says in 11.13.1: "SQLite natively supports only the types TEXT, INTEGER, FLOAT, BLOB and NULL." This made me wonder, is this a double or single FLOAT? (I have not used this database or this Python module before.) And I looked in the SQLite documentation here http://sqlite.org/datatype3.html This says that SQLite version 3 uses an 8 byte (i.e. double) float and has this as type REAL. So I go back to the python page thinking maybe this is an earlier version of SQLite - maybe Python 2 provides SQLite 2 for backwards compatibility and the module name 'sqlite3' does not follow the SQLite version number for some reason. I cannot see on this page mention of what version of SQLite this module provides, maybe I missed that? But I see in 11.13.5.1: "SQLite natively supports the following types: NULL, INTEGER, REAL, TEXT, BLOB." So this internal contradiction makes me think section 11.13.1 is incorrect. I feel posting to this public list, of unknown proportions, may be a rather loud way of reporting such a minor problem, but the documentation page seems to ask me to do this. A wiki might have been an easier and less noisy way to suggest corrections. I expect many people would not go to the trouble of emailing a public mailing list to get a detail like this corrected and that there are many similar bugs which are found but not immediately reported for this reason.
