New submission from Robert Mohr <python-bugs@mohrr.net>: The last line of http://docs.python.org/faq/programming.html#is-there-a-scanf-or-sscanf-equiv... is not proper English: For more complicated input parsing, regular expressions more powerful than C’s sscanf() and better suited for the task. This also shows up in the 3.2 docs. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 113711 nosy: docs@python, mohrr priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: documentation line needs rewording versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9582> _______________________________________
