[docs] [issue21198] Minor tarfile documentation bug

Andrew Scheller report at bugs.python.org
Thu Apr 10 18:43:47 CEST 2014


New submission from Andrew Scheller:

I've just noticed that the documentation for TarInfo.type says
"To determine the type of a TarInfo object more conveniently, use the is_*() methods below."

However none of the methods mentioned actually contain an underscore, so I believe the documentation should be updated to "...use the is*() methods below."

(for comparison, the documentation for stat.S_IFMT correctly talks about "is*() functions")
