I concur. It would be easy to make the docs less usable by elaborating on this special case. For the most part, a user should use None if they just want to test the truth value of the input. The docs for filter() have been through a number of revisions and much discussion. Let's not undo previous efforts. For the most part, these docs have been successful in communicating what filter() does. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27000> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
