Which is fine, as the example is OK to understand syntax. Understanding what authors had in mind back then while redacting examples is a whole other level of reading. PS: Good lunk understanding what the author of >>> words ['defenestrate', 'cat', 'window', 'defenestrate'] had in mind (yet it does not hurt readability of the example, IMHO). -- Julien Palard https://mdk.fr _______________________________________________ Doc-SIG maillist - Doc-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/doc-sig
