New submission from Malte Helmert <helmert@informatik.uni-freiburg.de>: Section "3.1.2. Strings" says "*Once again*, the print() function produces the more readable output.", but as far as I can see (or grep), this is the first time that this aspect of print() is mentioned. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 120362 nosy: docs@python, maltehelmert priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: small inconsistency in tutorial versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10303> _______________________________________

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu> added the comment: The sentence should be deleted. Print is *not* used in any of the previous examples. This is the first mention of print() in the chapter and is nonsensical in context. ---------- keywords: +easy nosy: +terry.reedy stage: -> needs patch versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10303> _______________________________________

Senthil Kumaran <orsenthil@gmail.com> added the comment: Fixed in r86310. print was used in some examples following its mention, so a simple introduction to it was okay. It is introduced properly further down in the tutorial. ---------- nosy: +orsenthil resolution: -> fixed stage: needs patch -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed type: -> behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10303> _______________________________________
