New submission from Rufus V. Smith:
In section 6.1.3 Format String Syntax, some examples have incorrect or poorly worded comments:
Original:
"Harold's a clever {0!s}" # Calls str() on the argument first
"Bring out the holy {name!r}" # Calls repr() on the argument first
"More {!a}" # Calls ascii() on the argument first
Suggested Changes:
"Harold's a clever {0!s}" # Calls str() on first positional argument
"Bring out the holy {name!r}" # Calls repr() on the named argument 'name'
"More {!a}" # Calls ascii() on first positional argument (v. 3.1 and later)
