It consumes more time to talk about them than they're worth. In this case, Eli was modeling after the docstring in dictobject.c: PyDoc_STRVAR(clear__doc__, "D.clear() -> None. Remove all items from D."); Just because list.remove.__doc__ failed to consistently follow that convention doesn't make Eli's patch incorrect. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10516> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
