[New-bugs-announce] [issue33300] Bad usage example in id() DocString

Glen Neff report at bugs.python.org

New submission from Glen Neff <gneff at trioptimum.com>:

The DocString for id() in 3.5.x & 3.6.x seems to have an incorrect usage example, specifically ``id(obj, /)``.

This is present in 3.5.x & 3.6.x.  It does not appear to be present in 2.7.x or 3.4.x.:

Python 3.6.4 (v3.6.4:d48eceb, Dec 19 2017, 06:54:40) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> help(id)
Help on built-in function id in module builtins:

id(obj, /)
    Return the identity of an object.

    This is guaranteed to be unique among simultaneously existing objects.
    (CPython uses the object's memory address.)
