Thanks for the report! However, this has already been fixed in more
recent versions of the documentation (see [1]) and versions before 3.4
are no longer receiving documentation updates. If you're using Python
3.1 and can't upgrade to 3.4, you can still use the more recent
documentation; just watch out for "Changed in version ..." or "New in
version ..." notes for 3.2 or later. If you come across something
that doesn't work with 3.1 and doesn't have a version changed or
version added note, that's a documentation bug that we do need to fix!
Regards,
