Anthony Flury <anthony.fl...@btinternet.com> added the comment: Raymond, I completely understand your comment but I do disagree.
My view would be that the documentation of the stdlib should document the entry level use cases. The first example given uses nothing special from the Counter class - you could implement exactly the same with a defaultdict(int) - the only difference would be that output will read defaultdict(<type 'int'>,{'blue': 3, 'red': 2, 'green': 1}). I think the examples in the documentation should at least demonstrate something important on the class being documented - and the first example doesn't. I am very tempted to re-open - but I wont - no benefit in bouncing the status as we discuss this. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32770> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
