New submission from Julien Palard <julien+pyt...@palard.fr>:
As reported by Graham Ewart on docs@, in https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#common-sequence-operations: s * n or n * s | equivalent to adding s to itself n times is badly worded. In fact it's more like n-1 times, but yet it's not adding s to itself. I'd go for "n times the s sequence" or "n copies of the s sequence" instead, which both avoid the "n-1" and the "to itself" parts. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 377958 nosy: docs@python, mdk priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Wording of s * n in Common Sequence Operations is not optimal _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41933> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
