Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment:
In function signatures, the square brackets do not mean that there is a list.
Instead, it is a convention used throughout the docs to mean that an argument
is optional. In this case, s.pop([i]) means that both of these are valid calls:
# retrieve and remove the value at a specific position
somelist.pop(10)
# retrieve and remove the rightmost value
somelist.pop()
Thank you for the report, but the documentation is correct.
