I opened a different issue about the doc glitch. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18808> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
