By the way, I wonder why this page is named “functions” and the one for
“builtins” is nearly empty.

That's legacy from the good old latex days.

Georg Brandl ge...@python.org added the comment:
Dividing the table in sections makes sense to me; it provides the kind of
grouping that is helpful sometimes, but cannot be kept when sorting
alphabetically. So when the table is grouped, the actual docs can remain
alphabetized.

Possible groups:
Types constructors: bool, bytearray, bytes, complex, dict, float, frozenset,
int, list, memoryview, object, range, set, slice, str, tuple
Mathematical functions: abs, bin, divmod, hex, oct, pow, round
Working with sequences:

In 2.7, the functions are not sorted alphabetically. I think they should, and
I offer to do the boring work.

The last 4 functions are Non-essential Built-in Functions[0] so I kept them
at the end of the list to match the order they have in the page.

It’s fine to have them at the end of the page, but I think people want things
to be sorted in an index.

I don't think it's worth changing it. The table still provides a good overview,
and having them at the end won't prevent people to find their doc.
Both the table and the page could be divided in sections though, if we find a
way to group

I like this version. HTML and LaTex build without warning; all-pdf takes
forever and spits out a metric ton of messages, so I haven’t checked its result.
The markup trickery is unfortunate, though, I’d like a pronouncement from Georg

Here's a new patch with a 5 column tables. I had to use some rst trickery to
make a decent header that works both in the HTML and Latex outputs. I put the
title in the middle cell (the 3rd) of the header and left the others empty.

Using cell spanning breaks “make latex” (and thus PDF), you may want to rework
the reST table markup.

+1 on the general idea. I applied the patch and built the documentation to see
what the output looks like: The hotlinks are here and work, that’s cool, but I
think the table wastes space. You could use five columns without damaging

+1 from me on a table at the top of the functions page.
I am assuming that the markup will induce hotlinks.
The main problem I see is the need to hand rewrite when another function is
added

New submission from nestor nestornis...@gmail.com:
The built-in function page
(http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/functions.html) is pretty long. Each
function has an anchor but unlike the built-in types section there is no quick
way to get an overview or jump to a specific function
