Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.5 Status: Closed Resolution: Rejected Priority: 5 Submitted By: Collin Winter (collinwinter) Assigned to: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) Summary: Improve docs for filter() Initial Comment: The attached patch augments the documentation for filter() by detailing how filter() treats subclasses of str, unicode and tuple. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Collin Winter (collinwinter) Date: 2006-07-17 08:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1344176 Would you support adding this information as a footnote to filter(), or perhaps somewhere else in the manual (if so, where?), or would you prefer that this part of filter()'s behaviour remain undocumented? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) Date: 2006-07-13 23:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80475 Sorry, no thanks. This does not make the docs better. It makes it harder to understand the general operation of filter() and goes into implementation specific details which may not apply to other implementations of Python. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1522211&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
