New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Current Doc/library/functions.rst says "The use of apply() is exactly equivalent to function(*args, **keywords)." which is no longer correct because f(*args, **keywords) notation allows use of an arbitrary mapping as keywords in 2.6, but apply(f, args, keywords) does not.
I don't think changing the code to allow arbitrary mapping in apply is worth the trouble and even mentioning this difference explicitly in the apply() docs is probably not justified. My recommendation is to just s/exactly equivalent/equivalent/ in the sentence quote above. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 65675 nosy: belopolsky, georg.brandl severity: normal status: open title: apply() documentation is slightly incorrect versions: Python 2.6 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2668> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
