New submission from Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com>:
The docstring of the "type" builtin is mildly confusing. Here's what the first few lines of the output for `help(type)` look like for me (on Python 3.10.0rc2): class type(object) | type(object_or_name, bases, dict) | type(object) -> the object's type | type(name, bases, dict) -> a new type The first line there seems redundant, and potentially misleading, since it suggests that `type(object, bases, dict)` might be legal. The third line is missing mention of possible keyword arguments. ---------- messages: 403302 nosy: mark.dickinson priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: docstring of "type" could use an update _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45392> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
