I don't think we would ever consider replacing "parentheses" with "round brackets". Also, we have long talked about "curly braces" though the braces/brackets choice is a little loose.

I appreciate that. Thanks for the suggestion, but we'll decline a wholesale search and replace mission. If an individual case of known confusion arises, we can take a look at it, but for now we have no evidence that the current docs are causing confusion for end users. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger resolution: -> rejected stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39402> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
