Andrew Svetlov added the comment: I guess the reason is that names are classes, not functions. See http://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#func-dict also for example. ---------- nosy: +asvetlov _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16436> _______________________________________

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: Currently, the built-in types are not treated consistently as to whether their constructors are documented in the "Built-in Functions" or "Built-in Types" page. There are some open issues related to this topic (see, for example, issue 16209). For the purposes of this issue though, yes, I agree that the abbreviated built-in function versions of the documentation for set and frozenset should contain direct links to the more complete constructor documentation in the "Built-in Types" page (as is already done for dict, for example, as Andrew pointed out). ---------- nosy: +chris.jerdonek _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16436> _______________________________________
