Not sure where to ask about this, so I'm asking here.
In the on-line docs, at the very bottom of a page, in fine print, is a
link: _Find a bug?_ Following that link leads to a short page with some
advice on how to handle it. Under the second heading [1] is this
paragraph:

Why is python-list the place to send behavioral bugs to? It's been my
experience that folks there will (rightly) ask the individual to file a
bug on the tracker.

Saves even more reports on the grounds that "Python can't do floating
point properly". I don't know if it's calmed down now, but there used
to be 3 or 4 a year. They were, as always, very politely referred to
the FAQ, or similar. Multiply that up by a multitude of newbie problems
and the triagers would be swamped.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
