Charles Newey added the comment: Your point about using "pass" with the "with" statement sounds like a better example than using "pass" in a loop.
Perhaps even something like adding a note to the example to clarify it: """ # Don't use this in Python code - it is for illustrative purposes only while True: pass # Busy-wait for keyboard interrupt (Ctrl+C) """ On the other hand -- one could argue that the documentation should not show "incorrect" uses of Python syntax at all. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22106> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
