New submission from David Beazley <[email protected]>:
This is a minor nit, but the doc string for str.isidentifier() states:
Use keyword.iskeyword() to test for reserved identifiers such as "def" and
"class".
At first glance, I thought that it meant you'd do this (doesn't work):
'def'.iskeyword()
As opposed to this:
import keyword
keyword.iskeyword('def')
Perhaps a clarification that "keyword" refers to the keyword module could be
added. Or better yet, just make 'iskeyword()` a string method ;-).
