[issue21125] traceback.extract_tb says quadruple when it means tuple

2014-04-01 Thread Glenn Maynard

New submission from Glenn Maynard:

https://docs.python.org/2/library/traceback.html

A “pre-processed” stack trace entry is a quadruple (filename, line number, 
function name, text) representing the information that is usually printed for a 
stack trace.

There's no such thing as a quadruple.  This should be tuple.

2014-04-01 Thread R. David Murray

R. David Murray added the comment:

A google for quadruple got me wikipedia as the first hit, with this as the 
match text:

Quadruple may refer to: A 4-tuple, ...

So, it's tech-speak.  The alternative would be to say either a 4-tuple or a 
tuple of four elements.  I'm fine with someone making that change, but I don't 
think it is terrible that the word is used the way it is.
