New submission from Luke: The current docs for both filter and itertools.filterfalse use the following wording (emphasis added):
all elements that are false are removed returns the items that are false This could be confusing for a new Python programmer, because the actual behaviour is that elements are equality-compared, not identity-compared. Suggested wording: "are equal to False" https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/functions.html#filter https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/itertools.html#itertools.filterfalse ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 264206 nosy: docs@python, unfamiliarplace priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: filter docs unclear wording type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26847> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
