[issue20169] random module doc page has broken links
New submission from Roy Smith: On http://docs.python.org/2/library/random.html, the links to random() go to the module, not the function. Thus: Almost all module functions depend on the basic function random(), If you lick on random(), you get to http://docs.python.org/2/library/random.html#module-random This looks like the same problem as issue19416. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 207612 nosy: docs@python, roysmith priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: random module doc page has broken links versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20169> _______________________________________
Roy Smith added the comment: Ugh, that should say, "if you CLICK on random()". Really wish I was filing this from my phone so I could blame it on autocorrect. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20169> _______________________________________
R. David Murray added the comment: I started to make some quick changes to fix this, but it turns out that the Random *class* isn't even documented in the docs except for the introductory paragraphs. IMO that ought to be fixed, too, since the intro even talks about subclassing it. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray stage: -> needs patch versions: +Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20169> _______________________________________
