Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Agreed. The footnote is "[1] It may occur within an except or else clause. The restriction on occurring in the try clause is implementor’s laziness and will eventually be lifted. " I searched chapter for all occurences of '1' and also found no reference. (And verified searching for '[#]' in .rst.) Nor can I think of what the footnote referred to. Unless someone else can, we should delete it. Georg: should sphinx not noticed mismatch between # of footnote references and footnotes? ---------- nosy: +georg.brandl, terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue11337 _______________________________________

Georg Brandl added the comment: Fixed in 949a099a87ca. The detection of unused footnotes would be a docutils thing, not a Sphinx thing. ---------- resolution: -> fixed status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue11337 _______________________________________
