New submission from Retro <vinetouu@gmail.com>: Please read the first sentence of the docs for the built-in function getattr() here: http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html?highlight=getattr#getattr Fix the word 'attributed' to 'attribute', because the former is a typo. A side question. When you document an object's API in the docstring, you write it like this: getattr(object, name[, default]) -> value Don't you find it nicer if that would look like this: getattr(object, name, [default]) -> value Note the cosmetic fix between the arguments 'name' and 'default'. Do you find my fix acceptable? If yes, please fix docstrings in Python that document the object's API from the '...name[, default]...' format to '...name, [default]...' format. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 118869 nosy: Retro, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Documentation typo fix and a side question versions: 3rd party, Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10122> _______________________________________
