This is an important issue, so I propose that the Python tutorial be updated to highlight such problems. I would be willing to write a draft section myself but obviously it would need to be reviewed.
I think documenting "gotchas" can be useful indeed. However, I'm not sure the tutorial is the right place: it should present an easy to grasp view of the language, not digress about edge cases. So perhaps a FAQ, for example, would be more appropriate. In any case, feel free to propose a draft on http://bugs.python.org You can take a look at http://docs.python.org/dev/documenting/ if you are not familiar with the process. Regards Antoine.
