Dear list,
I recently read through the entire Python tutorial and FAQ (v3.11.2) and took notes on things that I believe to be errata. Here is my list:
1.
About the instruction for loading "fibo" ("Now enter the Python interpreter and import this module with the following command:"): Many beginners will be using IDLE. If on Windows, one needs to import the file like this:
import sys
sys.path.append(r'C:\path_to_directory_with_fibo')
import fibo
Adding a remark like this will help the reader.
5.
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/inputoutput.htmlThe
'{:-9} YES votes {:2.2%}'.format(yes_votes, percentage)
example will slow a careful first-time reader down. I suggest explaining the two expressions in curly braces briefly on the side, in one sentence each.
6.
For the expression "format % values", "%" conversion specifications in "format" are replaced with zero or more elements of "values".
I would replace "str.split(sep=None, maxsplit=- 1)" by "str.split(sep=None, maxsplit= -1)". In both cases, deleting the space entirely is an alternative option.
