[issue9562] Slightly misleading wording in documentation of dict.update
New submission from Mitchell Model m...@acm.org: The documentation of dict.update says that it accepts either another dictionary object or an iterable of key/value pairs (as a tuple or other iterable of length two) The parenthesized phrase is slightly misleading in that it could be interpreted as requiring the argument to be an iterable of length two, whereas the argument should be an iterable of iterables of length 2 (if not a dictionary). Suggest rewriting in the plural: (as tuples or other iterables of length two) -- assignee: d...@python components: Documentation messages: 113557 nosy: MLModel, d...@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Slightly misleading wording in documentation of dict.update versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9562 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
