New submission from Mark Sapiro <mark@msapiro.net>: In several places in the documentation including: ``` grep -rn 'pop.\[i\]' Lib/pydoc_data/topics.py:13184: '| "s.pop([i])" | retrieves the item at *i* ' Lib/pydoc_data/topics.py:13647: '| "s.pop([i])" | retrieves the item at ' Doc/tutorial/datastructures.rst:47:.. method:: list.pop([i]) Doc/library/array.rst:193:.. method:: array.pop([i]) Doc/library/stdtypes.rst:1116:| ``s.pop([i])`` | retrieves the item at *i* and | \(2) | ``` the mutable sequence and array `pop()` method is documented as shown above in a way that implies the argument to `pop()` is a slice or sequence when it is actually just an integer. All those references should be `pop(i)` rather than `pop([i])`. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 392551 nosy: docs@python, msapiro priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Doc for mutable sequence pop() method implies argument is a slice or sequence. type: behavior versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43996> _______________________________________
