[issue1362] Simple mistake in http://docs.python.org/tut/node6.html

[Dan M]

New submission from Dan M:

In section 4.6 it says:
Writing the value None is normally suppressed by the interpreter if it
would be the only value written.

When it should say:
Writing the value None is normally displayed by the interpreter if it
would be the only value written.

Or less wordy:
The value None is (normally) displayed by the interpreter when it would
be the only value written.

[issue1362] Simple mistake in http://docs.python.org/tut/node6.html

[Dan M]

Dan M added the comment:

Yes, it is normally suppressed.  The problem is the condition when it is
suppressed.  The documentation states that it's suppressed when it's the
only value to be written.

It is suppressed when it's *not* the only value to be written. 
-or- (removing the double negative of suppressed(not displayed) and not)
It is displayed when it would be the only value written.

The example immediately following this mistake is correct, which makes
the actual behavior obvious even if this particular statement is wrong.
