Category: Documentation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ludootje (ludootje) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: typo in "Python Tutorial": 1. Whetting your appetite Initial Comment: URL: http://docs.python.org/tut/node3.html In the first paragraph, it says: "[snip] or the feature involves a system call or other function that is only accessible from C ...Usually the problem [snip]" The typo: "[snip] C ...Usually [snip]" The space after 'C' should be removed, and one should be added before 'Usually', so it becomes: "[snip] C... Usually [snip]". I admit it's not a really big problem, but it's not hard to solve either, I guess. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Ludootje (ludootje) Date: 2005-01-08 18:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=313612 URL: http://docs.python.org/tut/node5.html Part: 3.1.3 Unicode Strings Sentence: The small "u" in front of the quote indicates that an Unicode string is supposed to be created. Isn't it "a Unicode", instead of "an Unicode"? I wasn't too sure of this one, but Googling for both brings up much more results for "a Unicode", and, more importantly, the results are from more "official" entities (like unicode.org, for example). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ludootje (ludootje) Date: 2005-01-08 18:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=313612 URL: http://docs.python.org/tut/node5.html Part: 3.1.3 Unicode Strings Sentence: "Previously, there were only 256 possible ordinals for script characters and texts were typically bound to a code page which mapped the ordinals to script characters." I'm not sure if I totally "get" this sentence, but if I do, adding a comma after "characters" (the first occurence of it) would make it more clear or readable, IMHO. This would lead to: "Previously, there were only 256 possible ordinals for script characters, and texts were typically bound to a code page which mapped the ordinals to script characters." Just a thought. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ludootje (ludootje) Date: 2005-01-08 16:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=313612 I'm not too sure what I should do with another error in the tutorial... I guess starting a new bugreport each time for stuff like simple typos would be overkill, so maybe it's just easier to attach (an)other error(s) here? If you prefer a new bugreport, please tell me. Anyway, on to the actual "error"... URL: http://docs.python.org/tut/node4.html Part: 2.2.2 Executable Python Scripts Sentence: "The script can be given a executable mode, or permission, using the chmod command:" Should be: "aN executable mode", AFAIK. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1098497&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
