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: Python 2.5 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nicholas Riley (nriley) Assigned to: Collin Winter (collinwinter) Summary: documentation of email.utils.parsedate is confusing Initial Comment: This sentence in the documentation for email.utils.parsedate confused me: "Note that fields 6, 7, and 8 of the result tuple are not usable." These indices are zero-based, so it's actually fields 7, 8 and 9 that they are talking about (in normal English). Either this should be changed to 7-9 or be re-expressed in a way that makes it clear it's zero-based, for example by using Python indexing notation. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Collin Winter (collinwinter) Date: 2007-03-09 13:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1344176 Originator: NO Fixed in r54243. I changed the ambiguous word "fields" to "indexes", which should make it perfectly clear where the count starts from. Thanks for the bug report! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Roberts (mark-roberts) Date: 2007-01-19 20:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1591633 Originator: NO Link to document in question: http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-email.utils.html www.python.org/sf/1639973 for doc patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1629566&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
