Thank you for the explanation which I understand and accept. I also fully (or maybe not quite fully) understand the use of square brackets to indicate optional arguments. It's just that in the context of the table at https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#mutable-sequence-types every other use of square brackets indicates a list or a slice and that's what confused me. Granted, all the other square bracket usage was not around a method argument, and I accept that the doc is correct, but I still found it confusing. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43996> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
