[issue36416] bytes.rpartition bug in online documentation

New submission from PEW's Corner <pewscorner@gmail.com>: The online Python 3 documentation for bytes.rpartition and bytearray.rpartition (https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes.rpartition) incorrectly states: "If the separator is not found, return a 3-tuple containing a copy of the original sequence, followed by two empty bytes or bytearray objects." This seems to have been copied without modification from bytes.partition where the statement is correct. The statement for rpartition should be: "If the separator is not found, return a 3-tuple containing two empty bytes or bytearray objects, followed by a copy of the original sequence." ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 338734 nosy: docs@python, pewscorner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: bytes.rpartition bug in online documentation type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36416> _______________________________________

PEW's Corner <pewscorner@gmail.com> added the comment: OK, I can give it a try. I need to read up on the procedures for doing so, first, though, so it may take a while. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36416> _______________________________________
