[issue29784] Erroneous link in shutil.copy description

New submission from Maxime Buquet: https://docs.python.org/3/library/shutil.html#shutil.copy The link to "copy()" in the description seems to be pointing to the copy module, but I suppose it was meant to point at shutil.copy. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 289370 nosy: docs@python, pep. priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Erroneous link in shutil.copy description _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29784> _______________________________________

Mariatta Wijaya added the comment: Thanks all :) I fixed the two references to copy() in shutil docs, and backported to 3.5 and 3.6. Since this particular issue is fixed, I'm closing this. If people find other incorrect references, they can open another ticket. ---------- resolution: -> fixed stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29784> _______________________________________
