New submission from Christopher Yeh <chrisye...@gmail.com>:
The documentation says the following:
> A built-in function object is a wrapper around a C function. Examples of
> built-in functions are `len` and `math.sin` (`math` is a standard built-in
> module).
However, `math` is not always a built-in module, as can be seen in on my own
Python installation (Windows 10, WSL 1, Python 3.7.7 installed via conda).
>>> import sys
>>> sys.builtin_module_names
('_abc', '_ast', '_codecs', '_collections', '_functools', '_imp', '_io',
'_locale', '_operator', '_signal', '_sre', '_stat', '_string', '_symtable',
'_thread', '_tracemalloc', '_warnings', '_weakref', 'atexit', 'builtins',
'errno', 'faulthandler', 'gc', 'itertools', 'marshal', 'posix', 'pwd', 'sys',
'time', 'xxsubtype', 'zipimport')
Therefore, I have submitted a pull request to remove the statement "(`math` is
a standard built-in module)" from the documentation.
