I guess it should say list or something > similar.] Yes, I agree: it looks like it's broken, but it's okay. a[3] returns the fourth element of a sequence named "a." If the sequence were named something_descriptive, then something_descriptive[3] returns the fourth element of a sequence named "something_descriptive." ___ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/Z5JPXAIDPBMTNREXDNEX54N7J3PZ7OLJ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/

If you feel that's unclear, you could propose a change that renames the variable, perhaps. Pull requests are absolutely appropriate for simple changes, copyediting, etc. You'll be asked to sign the licensing agreement, but for extremely tiny changes (say, just fixing a missed bit of punctuation), we can override the CLA bot and merge the change anyway.
