New submission from Eli Bendersky <[email protected]>:
Report from Joao Carneiro in the docs@ maillist:
----------------------------
I would like to report that I found a mistake in the document of "help(set)".
In the document all the __i*__ methods are described exactly like the same
methods without i before the name.
Copied from the document:
__ixor__(...)
x.__ixor__(y) <==> x^y
__xor__(...)
x.__xor__(y) <==> x^y
I suppose that the __ixor__ would mean x^=y and not x^y like the __xor__ method
right?
This problem also occurs for:
__iand__
__ior__
__isub__
----------------------------
The report is on Python 3.2, but the problem also exists in 2.7
It appears that the problem's source is in Objects/typeobject.c, where the
__i*__ operators are defined with the IBSLOT macro. The documentation string is
the operator, passed to IBSLOT - for __ixor__ it's "^", while it should
probably be "^="
