Xiang Zhang added the comment: First I have to clarify that my mistake is not in understanding but in writing. What I mean by 'identify the return value True or False' is actually what you say, 'evaluate for truth or falsehood'. I also notice the lowercase false and true in the doc. I know they are deliberate. Sorry about this.
For ``bool``, I almost agree with you now. Although I still think it's telling readers incorrect info in the second part. For ``bool``, it is not equivalent to ``(item for item in iterable if function(item))`` but ``(item for item in iterable if item)``. For CPython, you are not telling the truth. And for identity function, I insist. I don't see any advantage with this sentence other than confusion. I don't think this will affect other implementation either. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27000> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
