Senthil Kumaran <orsenthil@gmail.com> added the comment: splituser is an internal API. It has never been exposed through Docs anytime and there are good reasons for that too. We never want internal helper functions (even tough they don't startwith _) be exposed through docs as it may clutter the API Documentation. If you find a good use for splituser like function, it would good to discuss and build upon current one before exposing. I am closing this as wontfix. ---------- assignee: docs@python -> orsenthil nosy: +orsenthil resolution: -> wont fix stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11009> _______________________________________
