[New-bugs-announce] [issue2724] Error in Python tutorial (http://docs.python.org/tut/node6.html)

[Sandeep Sabnani]

New submission from Sandeep Sabnani <sandeepsabnani at gmail.com>:

Section 4.4 on page http://docs.python.org/tut/node6.html has a for loop
which uses the range function. However, the displayed output of that
loop is not correct. I ran the same code and got the output as follows:

3 is a prime number
4 = 2 * 2
5 is a prime number
5 is a prime number
5 is a prime number
6 = 2 * 3
7 is a prime number
7 is a prime number
7 is a prime number
7 is a prime number
7 is a prime number
8 = 2 * 4
9 is a prime number
9 = 3 * 3

Can this be corrected in the tutorial as it can be confusing for a
python newbie!

Thanks!
