Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
I have a mixed opinion of this. On the one hand, 'string index', taken out of context, *is* ambiguous. (In the context of the TypeError message, it took me a minute to see the string-index interpretation.) On the other hand, dicts do not have indices. They have keys. So only the 'index of string' interpretation makes sense. Is there anything in the docs that suggests that a mapping subscript can be called an 'index' in addition to 'key'? It would be nicer if this TypeError message also included 'not x', but there may be an issue that the type x info is lost. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35077> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
