[docs] [issue21818] cookielib documentation references Cookie module, not cookielib.Cookie class

Georg Brandl added the comment: The rules are as they are mostly for backwards compatibility. But it is rarely a problem since there is only one object with a given name. :class:`Cookie` within the docs for cookielib would not be able to link to Cookie.Cookie since it is not found in its scope. :class:`Cookie.Cookie` works, as does :class:`~Cookie.Cookie`. When you use the "find-in-any-namespace" syntax, i.e. :class:`.Cookie` the type *will* be taken into account. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21818> _______________________________________
