[issue37430] range is not a built-in function
bob gailer added the comment: Thanks for explaining. Indeed range appears in __builtins__. It is a surprise to type range and get in response. sum otoh gives . The distinction between function, type and class seems muddy. When I enter "range" in the index box in the windows documentation display I am offered: (1)built-in function, which takes me to the paragraph that started this issue. It does NOT take me to the built-in functions topic, whereas sum does. (2) object, and range (built-in class)which take me to the built-in types topic. This seems to add to the confusion. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue37430> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue21352] improve indexing
New submission from bob gailer: Inconsistencies / confusion with documentation Index Tab. Example (line numbers added for comments that follow): 1 max 2 built-in function 3 max (datetime.date attribute) 4 (datetime.datetime attribute) 5 (datetime.time attribute) 6 max() built-in function 7 (decimal.Context method) 8 (decimal.Decimal method) 9 (in module audioloop) The following all lead to confusion and frustration: Having 3 rows (1, 3, 6)that begin with max. Having an entry (1) that does nothing when double-clicked. double-clicking (2) takes us to a reference rather than a definition. RECOMMENDATION: change to: max() built-in function (sequence operation) (decimal.Context method) (decimal.Decimal method) max (datetime.date attribute) (datetime.datetime attribute) (datetime.time attribute) where double-clicking the first line goes to the max() definition in 2. Built-in Functions These comments apply, with a number of variations, to most built-in functions index entries. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 217170 nosy: bgailer, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: improve indexing type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21352 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue21279] str.translate documentation incomplete
New submission from bob gailer: Documentation for str.translate only mentions a dictionary for the translation table. Actually any iterable can be used, as long as its elements are integer, None or str. Recommend wording: str.translate(translation_table) Return a copy of the s where all characters have been mapped through the translation_table - which must be either a dictionary mapping Unicode ordinals (integers) to Unicode ordinals, strings or None, or an iterable. In this case the ord() of each character in s is used as an index into the iterable; the corresponding element of the iterable replaces the character. If ord() of the character exceeds the index range of the iterator, no substitution is made. Example: to shift any of the first 255 ASCII characters to the next: 'Now is the time for all good men'.translate(range(1, 256)) 'Opx!jt!uif!ujnf!gps!bmm!hppe!nfo' COMMENT: I placed mapped in quotes as technically this only applies to dictionaries. Not sure what the best word is. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 216630 nosy: bgailer, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: str.translate documentation incomplete type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21279 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
