I'm asking only about this case, when the dash is used to denote a

That's two separate cases:

What type of dash is preferable in the documentation? The en dash (–)
or the em dash (—)?
They have different purposes; use whichever is appropriate for the
context.
This isn't an official Python developer position. But all of ‘-’, ‘–’,
‘—’, ‘−’,

I don't know about common. I had no idea there were 3 dash types
*Way* more than three.
hyphen
minus sign (not the same as a hyphen!)
en-dash
em-dash
two-em-dash
three-em-dash
figure dash
horizontal bar
swung dash
plus another half-dozen or so

Besides visual consistency in a couple of places, is there a reason to
care enough to make a wholesale change?
Single hyphen instead of a dash just looks too ugly to me.
Trying to fix this I noticed that the documentation is inconsistent

Or we should replace a half-dozen of em-dashes found in Python documentation
to en-dashes?
If my theory is right that makes sense. Especially if it's only a half-dozen.

Both should be used where appropriate [0].
Of course I looked in Wikipedia before

Optimistically, I think it would probably be safe[1] to replace --
or --- in text with \N{THIN SPACE}\N{EM DASH}\N{THIN SPACE} (or
\N{HAIR SPACE} if you prefer) without human review, but for any other
changes, I wouldn't even try to automate it.

I'm sorry, I were wrong. Actually em-dash used much more then en-dash
in Python documentation.
But, as you've also discovered, many authors will type two hyphens “--”
when they want an em dash “—”, yet this is rendered to an en dash “–”.
So the

I believe there are only a few places where en-dashes should be used,
for most things you should use either em-dash or hyphen. Consult your
trusted typography source (for US English, please, punctuation
preferences vary by locale). E.g. Google for em dash en dash.
