Is it really necessary? I think that one-arg-per-line is an obvious variation of the existing example. If the only example given was one-arg-per-line, then the reader might wrongly assume that *only* one arg was allowed. But since the example shows more than one arg per line (two in the above example), I expect that people will read it as "some arbitrary number" rather than "exactly two". So I don't think there's any need to show yet another example, especially since it's just a variation on the existing examples. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
