Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: David Benbennick (dbenbenn) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: False sentence about formatted print in tutorial section 7.1 Initial Comment: The line: (Note that one space between each column was added by the way print works: it always adds spaces between its arguments.) in section 7.1 of the tutorial (http://docs.python.org/dev/tut/node9.html), is false. It refers to the command print '%2d %3d %4d' % (x, x*x, x*x*x) which produces (if x == 10) 10 100 1000 The two spaces in that output are NOT "added by the way print works". Instead, they come from the format string itself. If you use print '%2d%3d%4d' % (x, x*x, x*x*x) you get 101001000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1567375&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
