[issue5348] Documentation of format implies only strings and numbers are acceptable arguments

Eric Smith added the comment: I looked and don't see where this error is. In fact, I don't see format() mentioned at all on the 2.6.1 page for builtin functions (http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html), which is a problem. What page are you looking at? __

[issue5350] Modification to "pairwise" in itertools recipes

New submission from Matteo Dell'Amico : I feel that the "pairwise" recipe could be slightly more elegant if "for elem in b: break" became a simpler next(b) (or b.next() for Python 2.x). It is also more natural to modify the recipes to suit one's needs (e.g., returning items with a given gap betwe
