New submission from Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com: Docs nit: at http://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#boolean-values we have The built-in function bool() can be used to cast any value to a Boolean ... It's a little unusual to talk about casting in Python. Any objections to replacing 'cast' with 'convert'? -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 148480 nosy: docs@python, mark.dickinson priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: 'cast' any value to a Boolean? versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13494 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Eli Bendersky eli...@gmail.com added the comment: 'bool' is just one of many conversion functions that convert their argument to the type they designate. Does this doc problem only exist for 'bool' or also for 'int', 'float' and others? -- nosy: +eli.bendersky ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13494 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
