New submission from Matthew Cowles <mdcow...@users.sourceforge.net>:
[From a question sent to the python-help list.] In the Python 3 tutorial at: http://docs.python.org/3.0/tutorial/datastructures.html#dictionaries it says: The keys() method of a dictionary object returns a list of all the keys used in the dictionary, in arbitrary order if you want it sorted, just apply the sort() method to the list of keys But in What's New in Python 3.0 at: http://docs.python.org/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html it says: dict methods dict.keys(), dict.items() and dict.values() return “views” instead of lists. For example, this no longer works: k = d.keys(); k.sort(). Use k = sorted(d) instead I expect that it's just a matter of updating the tutorial. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 77776 nosy: georg.brandl, mdcowles severity: normal status: open title: Python 3 tutorial has old information about dicts versions: Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4656> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
