New submission from Pierre Thibault <[email protected]>:
> help(filter)
Help on built-in function filter in module __builtin__:
filter(...)
filter(function or None, sequence) -> list, tuple, or string
Return those items of sequence for which function(item) is true. If
function is None, return the items that are true. If sequence is a tuple
or string, return the same type, else return a list.
(END)
The second argument can be an iterable. Suggestion: Replace the docstring with
the definition found at https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#filter.
