It's not true for all special methods. __iadd__ and __imul__ return the list itself. That's a minor nitpick though. +1 on adding "and return None" to the docstrings of methods that often trip people up. Not everyone will read them, but some people will. ---------- nosy: +stutzbach _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12192> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
