Jan-Philip Gehrcke added the comment: I have updated the patch with a cross-reference to the sorted() built-in, which explains the arguments. W.r.t. to Éric's suggestion: the sorted() doc refers to the sorting howto in the wiki. Now everything is connected. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file35365/sort_tut_02.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21575 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue21575] list.sort() should show arguments in tutorial
New submission from Jan-Philip Gehrcke: Currently, the tutorial for the list sort method does not show allowed arguments: list.sort() Sort the items of the list in place. (see e.g. https://docs.python.org/3.4/tutorial/datastructures.html) Is there a reason why we do not show the arguments there? For simplicity? One should note that a web search for Python's list methods ranks that page pretty high. We could list the defaults, as in the built-in help: L.sort(cmp=None, key=None, reverse=False) And could link to https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#sorted for an explanation. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 219085 nosy: docs@python, eric.araujo, ezio.melotti, georg.brandl, jgehrcke priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: list.sort() should show arguments in tutorial versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21575 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Éric Araujo added the comment: I assume it is on purpose that the tutorial does not show all methods with all their arguments. It could overwhelm readers with too much information, and would also duplicate the full doc that’s in the reference. A link from this tutorial page to the list reference (and maybe the sorting howto) could be a good addition. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21575 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Is there a reason why we do not show the arguments there? It was likely an oversight. I think it should be updated so that people know the options are there. -- nosy: +rhettinger ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21575 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
