issue21279.v5.patch tries to apply the comments in msg233013, msg233014, and

same language to the docstring in Objects/unicodeobject.c.

Regarding Martin's patch of 12-18:
stdtypes.rst -- looks good to me
unicodeobject.c -- I suggest changing this sentence:
If a character is not in the table, the subscript operation should raise
LookupError, and the character is left untouched

Kindly ignore message #2 on the Rietveld page (sorry for the channel noise).
Here's my suggested revision:
Return a copy of the string *str* in which each character has been mapped
through the given translation *table*. The table must be a subscriptable

I think it would be confusing to create of subclass of defaultdict, defining a
__missing__ method in that subclass. The existence of the __missing__ method
would cancel the main functionality of the defaultdict object: invoking the

On python-list, Wolfram Hinderer objected to the proposed patch's calling
__missing__ a special method.

New submission from John Posner jjpos...@optimum.net:
The documentation for collections.defaultdict is confusing with respect to the
__missing__ method. The fact is that a programmer using defaultdict does not
need to know anything about __missing__.
The attached patch contains a rewrite

Georg, your change (r79587) makes this the main definition:

New submission from John Posner john_posner_a...@post.harvard.edu:
The subsection Augmented assignment statements includes a note on this
special case:
a.x += 1
But the parent section Assignment statements does not include such a

a subtle way:
For targets which are attribute references, the initial
value is retrieved with a getattr()
