[issue28820] Typo in section 6 of the Python 3.4 documentation
New submission from Rares Aioanei: In section 6.4.1. it's said "Although certain modules are designed to export only names that follow certain patterns when you use import *, it is still considered bad practise in production code." "practise" should be "practice", as it's a noun. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 281870 nosy: Rares Aioanei, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Typo in section 6 of the Python 3.4 documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28820> _______________________________________

Josh Rosenberg added the comment: Just OOC, what version of English are the docs supposed to use? In American English, noun vs. verb doesn't matter, it's always "practice" (there is no such word as "practise"). In this case it doesn't matter (it's a noun, and everyone agrees on the spelling), but is there a defined standard? ---------- nosy: +josh.r _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28820> _______________________________________
R. David Murray added the comment: We at least used to point to Apple's style guide. I'm not sure where we point at the moment (it's in the documentation somewhere :). But yes, it's pretty much formal American English, though I'm sure there are places where other spelling has crept in. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28820> _______________________________________
