Nick Coghlan added the comment: No, the HOWTO should be separate. Having them in the same document makes for something that is worse as both a tutorial and as an API reference (just look at argparse).
Yes, that means there are three places to update (code, reference, tutorial). There are three places to update regardless - the only question is whether two of those places are jammed awkwardly into the same file. Handling this will hopefully become more natural as the howto/tutorial section of the docs grows larger. The main problem with the ipadddress docs at the moment is extracting the docstrings for the methods and including them in the reference docs in a sane way (i.e. without excessive duplication of material, as Terry and I discussed above). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14814> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
