Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Keith Briggs (kbriggs) >Assigned to: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Summary: set documentation deficiencies Initial Comment: http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/types-set.html has a dead link: "Module sets". Also, there does not seem to be any documentation on how to construct a set. Does set()==set([])? What is allowed as an argument to set()? Any iterable? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.M.

I see all the same problems at http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/lib/types-set.html. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (birkenfeld) Date: 2006-02-10 11:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 This is all already corrected, except for the empty set thing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Keith Briggs (kbriggs) Date: 2006-02-10 10:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=888261 Furthermore, the operations update etc. are mutations of s, so wouldn't the definitions s.update(t) s |= t return set s with elements added from t s.intersection_update(t) s &= t return set s keeping only elements also found in t s.difference_update(t) s -= t return set s after removing elements found in t s.symmetric_difference_update(t) s ^= t return set s with elements from s or t but not both be better as s.update(t) s |= t add elements from t to s etc.? I'm not sure what the word "return" is doing here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1429053&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
