[New-bugs-announce] [issue16018] Impossible ... line in tutorial

[Ramchandra Apte]

New submission from Ramchandra Apte:

In http://docs.python.org/dev/tutorial/introduction.html, there is an ... line which is impossible in that case:

Variables must be “defined” (assigned a value) before they can be used, or an error will occur:

>>>
>>> # try to access an undefined variable
... n
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'n' is not defined

It should be:

>>> n # try to access an undefined variable
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'n' is not defined
