New submission from Mark Sapiro <[email protected]>:
In several places in the documentation including:
```
grep -rn 'pop.\[i\]'
Lib/pydoc_data/topics.py:13184: '| "s.pop([i])" |
retrieves the item at *i* '
Lib/pydoc_data/topics.py:13647: '| "s.pop([i])"
| retrieves the item at '
Doc/tutorial/datastructures.rst:47:.. method:: list.pop([i])
Doc/library/array.rst:193:.. method:: array.pop([i])
Doc/library/stdtypes.rst:1116:| ``s.pop([i])`` | retrieves the
item at *i* and | \(2) |
```
the mutable sequence and array `pop()` method is documented as shown above in a
way that implies the argument to `pop()` is a slice or sequence when it is
actually just an integer. All those references should be `pop(i)` rather than
`pop([i])`.
