Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Robert Siemer (siemer) Assigned to: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Summary: String formatting operator % badly documented Initial Comment: Hello everyone! The % operator works with strings, but this is hard to find in the documentation (Library Reference 2.2.6.2). Really bad is, that an operator should be documented in the Language Reference, where it isn't. Lang-Ref "5.6 Binary arithmetic operations" is labeled wrong, as it also describes the non-arithmetic operations of + and * but seems to know nothing about % under that aspect... It is actually indirectly saying that there is no further non-arithmetic operation - but there is: %.

(1) If there's a way to create inter-document links, that would be a good idea. I don't know of one. (2) If the format of this patch is a pain, let me know. All I'm doing is adding one paragraph. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Chermside (mcherm) Date: 2004-03-20 19:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=99874 Good point, this has long bothered me too. I'm attaching a patch. Fred, can you review (make sure I didn't introduce broken tex syntax) and check in? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=839585&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
