Ezio Melotti added the comment: > First argument is named "x".
Sometimes the doc uses "better" names to improve clarity when the argument is not supposed to be called as keyword arg. > Here can be not only string, but bytes or bytearray. The same applies here. "string" is also used in the error message (int() can't convert non-string with explicit base). If bytes/bytearrays are accepted too it could be mentioned later in the prose. Otherwise we could use x for both, but the distinction would be less clear. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14783> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
