Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Our standard is to start function doc entries with verbs. In any case, it is irrelevant whether os.walk is a generator function or iterator class. Which is to say, it is not part of the language definition that the object returned by os.walk() is specifically a generator, as opposed to an instance of some other iterator class. Indeed, other implementations might do differently and if we decided to recode os.walk in C to make it faster, it would be an iterator class and not a generator function (which are only written in Python). So 'generate' is being used in a generic sense.
Ideas like this, and the one about changing 'topdown', would be better floated on python-list. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy resolution: -> works for me stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17417> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
