anatoly techtonik <techtonik@gmail.com> added the comment: Thank you. The wording can surely be improved, but it is much better than nothing. I'd reword the first para further:
The :func:`test` function in the :mod:`SimpleHTTPServer` module is an example of using :class:`SimpleHTTPRequestHandler` with :class:`BaseHTTPServer` class.
BTW, it is still bad, because: 1. I'd assume that test function is described in documentation and not located in module source 2. users usually don't know where to look for the module source - doc should be self-sufficient 3. SimpleHTTPServer.test() is a proxy call for BaseHTTPServer.test() ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8937> _______________________________________
