[issue26874] Docstring error in divmod function
New submission from mbarao: The documentation of the divmod function says that a tuple ((x-x%y)/y, x%y) is returned, but this is not correct anymore for python3. I think it should be ((x-x%y)//y, x%y) where an integer division is used. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 264434 nosy: docs@python, mbarao priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Docstring error in divmod function type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26874> _______________________________________

How about simply (x//y, x%y)? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26874> _______________________________________

Zachary Ware added the comment: If only I had reloaded the page before pushing... Btw, this was first reported in issue1209411, but only the docs were changed, not the docstring. ---------- nosy: +zach.ware resolution: fixed -> stage: resolved -> status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26874> _______________________________________
