New submission from Éric Araujo : When reading over the sorting howto, I noticed redundancy of the form “the list.sort() method of a list”. Raymond, if you approve the attached patch, please assign back to me. There were no warnings during doc build and no link was broken. Note that :meth:`list.sort` (or :meth:`~list.sort`) does not trigger a link to the doc of the method, since sort is not marked up with a method directive but listed in a table alongside other list and bytearray methods (http://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes#typesseq-mutable). This table is preceded by index-generating markup, but it does not create a target for :meth:`list.sort`; that’s a separate issue. Until it’s solved, the sorting howto could turn the first occurrence of “list” into a link to the right section, using :ref:`typesseq-mutable <list>`, or continue to live without a link to list or list.sort. ---------- assignee: rhettinger components: Documentation files: minor-sorting-changes.diff keywords: patch messages: 126083 nosy: docs@python, eric.araujo, rhettinger priority: normal severity: normal stage: commit review status: open title: Tweak sorting howto to eliminate redundancy versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20364/minor-sorting-changes.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue10891 _______________________________________
