Thanks for explaining. Indeed range appears in __builtins__. It is a surprise to type range and get <class 'range'> in response. sum otoh gives <built-in function sum>. The distinction between function, type and class seems muddy. When I enter "range" in the index box in the windows documentation display I am offered: (1)built-in function, which takes me to the paragraph that started this issue. It does NOT take me to the built-in functions topic, whereas sum does. (2) object, and range (built-in class)which take me to the built-in types topic. This seems to add to the confusion. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37430> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
