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 Private: No Submitted By: Alan (aisaac0) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: emphasize iteration volatility for dict Initial Comment: In footnote (3) at <URL:http://docs.python.org/lib/typesmapping.html>, delete the first two sentences and substitute: Keys and values are listed in an arbitrary order. This order is indeterminate and generally depends on factors outside the scope of the containing program. However, if items(), keys(), values(), iteritems(), iterkeys(), and itervalues() are called with no intervening modifications to the dictionary, the lists will directly correspond. *Justification:* users should not be expected to understand without being told that iteration order depends on factors outside the scope of the containing program. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1721368&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
