[Python-checkins] CVS: python/dist/src/Doc/lib libstdtypes.tex,1.30,1.31

[Fred L. Drake]

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib
In directory slayer.i.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv10063/lib

Modified Files:
	libstdtypes.tex 
Log Message:

As pointed out by Denis S. Otkidach <den@analyt.chem.msu.ru>, xrange()
returns an xrange object, not a range object, despite the name of the
source file they're implemented in.

In the list of comparison operators, list != before <>, since <> is
described as obsolescent.

! \subsubsection{Range Type \label{typesseq-range}}
  
! The range\indexii{range}{type} type is an immutable sequence which is
! commonly used for looping.  The advantage of the range type is that a
! range object will always take the same amount of memory, no matter the
  size of the range it represents.  There are no consistent performance
  advantages.
  
! Range objects behave like tuples, and offer a single method:
  
! \begin{methoddesc}[range]{tolist}{}
!   Return a list object which represents the same values as the range
    object.
