R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: This is a common pattern in our documentation. It is done because ":mod:`xxx`" means that xxx should be formatted as a module name, rather than anything else. While it is true that the formatting for most such references is currently the same, it could be different in principle, and is for a few. It is in some ways unfortunate that it also always results in a link, so you will indeed find a number of places where the prefix is omitted, mostly commonly when the same entity is referenced several times in the same paragraph.
So, it is not completely clear cut, but I would recommend rejecting this and leaving the docs as is. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32774> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
