New submission from John Feuerstein <j...@feurix.com>: The documentation for str.expandtabs([tabsize]) is wrong: "Return a copy of the string where all tab characters are replaced by one or more spaces, depending on the current column and the given tab size. [...]"
This should read "zero or more spaces": >>> 'a\tb'.expandtabs(0) 'ab' >>> 'a\tb'.expandtabs(-1) 'ab' The description in Objects/unicodeobject.c does not include this error. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: expandtabs_doc.diff keywords: patch messages: 147222 nosy: docs@python, john.feuerstein priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: str.expandtabs documentation is wrong versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23625/expandtabs_doc.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13365> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
