Jesús Cea Avión added the comment: Precedence ordered per row. Same row, same precedence. I don't see any problem. It is natural math precedence.

Yongzhi Pan added the comment: I mean the text at the first link need fix. '+' and '-' are not on the same row. And the doc says: "sorted by ascending priority", that means they have ascending priority. The table in the reference is just right. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16438> _______________________________________

Kiet Tran added the comment: I was trying to fix this, but I ran into a couple questions. 1) Once I put, say, "x + y" and "x - y" into the same table cell, what would a good format be? My preferred format is to have them on separate lines in the cell, but after a lot of googling on the syntax of reST (and trials and errors), I'm still unable to figure out how to do it. Using bullet points would mean I have to align elements in the "Notes" column with the ones in the "Operation" column somehow. Alternatively, I can separate them by comma, but the table would look a bit cluttered. 2) Should the functions abs, int, etc., belong in the same table that's meant to list operators by precedence? ---------- nosy: +ktt3ja _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16438> _______________________________________

Kiet Tran added the comment: That document actually doesn't have any table that spans multiple lines. Here's the html page: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/unittest.html Actually, I already know how to make a table span multiple lines from this stackoverflow page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13504595/multi-line-table-cell-in-restruc... However, the problem is having the items in different columns match, as it depends on the width of the table, which is not fixed. For example, notice how the table is formatted nicely here: http://imgur.com/y1hLg But if I shrink the width, the formatting just goes wrong: http://imgur.com/Oct9m This is particularly problematic because some elements in the table have long lines. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16438> _______________________________________

Elliot Edmunds <edmundselliot@gmail.com> added the comment: I agree that linking to the precedence table is probably the best solution. A different option would be to add an extra column listing the "priority" and rank the priorities of the different operations. ---------- nosy: +Elliot Edmunds _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue16438> _______________________________________

Mariatta Wijaya <mariatta@python.org> added the comment: I'm actually thinking perhaps the "see :ref:`operator-summary`" clause should be separate and under Notes below the table, as opposed to current PR: ``` All numeric types (except complex) support the following operations (for priorities of the operations, see :ref:`operator-summary`) ``` reads oddly to me. ---------- nosy: +Mariatta _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue16438> _______________________________________
