Good question. The reddit user wrote. <quote> https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/70myto/whats_new_in_python_37_python_370a0_documentation/dn4zd20/ Take this example for re.sub. [https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#re.sub] Trying that out requires 3 separate copy and pastes just to do one example. Or you have to put it in an intermediate file, clean it up then paste it in. The examples are also grouped by sub function not by what they do. </quote> I think the problem is the user didn't see the [>>>] toggle at the top right of the code block. I know I didn't just now, when I tried it just now. It was only the strength of your assertion, Chris, that made me go back and try again. <quote> https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html In the following examples, input and output are distinguished by the presence or absence of prompts (>>> and …): to repeat the example, you must type everything after the prompt, when the prompt appears; lines that do not begin with a prompt are output from the interpreter. Note that a secondary prompt on a line by itself in an example means you must type a blank line; this is used to end a multi-line command. </quote> No mention here, or elsewhere on the page, that [>>>] at the top right of a code example toggles the presence or absence of prompts. -- Jonathan _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
