New submission from Jatin Sanghvi <jatin085 at gmail.com>:

Open link: http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html

The statement:

If i or j is negative, the index is relative to the end of the string: len(s) + i or len(s) + j is substituted.

is incorrect, should be:

If i or j is negative, the index is relative to the end of the string: len(s) - i or len(s) - j is substituted.
