Error message in the first example is outdated, may indicate further out of 
date information on page.

The tutorial says:

When the actual error received is:
prog.py: error: too few arguments

R. David Murray added the comment:

Ah, the whole tutorial is newish.  So this is a bug just in the 2.7 version of 
the tutorial (it doesn't match the 2.7 code), and yes, there may be other 
issues as well.

R. David Murray added the comment:

Actually it looks like it is future-dated.  The documented error message is the 
one you get from 3.3.  I guess someone backported a doc change for a feature 
change.

See issue 14034.  Ezio apparently left the error messages unchanged on 
purpose...I'm not sure why.

2013-01-04 Thread Ezio Melotti 

Ezio Melotti added the comment:

When I backported the patch I probably didn't want to try all the examples to 
see what the py2 error was.  In addition the py3 error is more clear even if it 
doesn't match what you actually get.
I think this can be closed as won't fix, unless someone wants to propose a 
patch.

Charlie Dimino added the comment:

If it's okay, don't close this just yet. I'm new to this system but I'll submit 
a patch with any fixes to the tutorial I find.
