Jesse Silverman <jessevsilver...@gmail.com> added the comment: I looked around some more and it definitely is not just one isolated instance. I noted a similar issue on the lines from CLASSES topic pasted here. I think it is all usages of the ellipsis in the context of the help text? Maybe also fancy quote marks that didn't survive the jump from ASCII to Unicode? And some fancy dashes. The theme of my day was excitement at how much more docs and help ship than I had realized with the most basic Python install and thus are at my fingertips anywhere, everywhere, internet access or not. This mars that exuberance only slightly. help> CLASSES The standard type hierarchy ***************************
Below is a list of the types that are built into Python. Extension modules (written in C, Java, or other languages, depending on the implementation) can define additional types. Future versions of Python may add types to the type hierarchy (e.g., rational numbers, efficiently stored arrays of integers, etc.), although such additions will often be provided via the standard library instead. Some of the type descriptions below contain a paragraph listing ΓÇÿspecial attributes.ΓÇÖ These are attributes that provide access to the ... methodΓÇÖs documentation (same as "__func__.__doc__"); "__name__" ... dictionary containing the classΓÇÖs namespace; "__bases__" is a tuple containing the base classes, in the order of their occurrence in the base class list; "__doc__" is the classΓÇÖs documentation string, ΓÇ£ClassesΓÇ¥.
