New submission from Andrew Cameron: The documentation for Mutable Sequence Types states that, for operation: s.extend(x) or s += t
the expected result is: for the most part the same as s[len(s):len(s)] = x Note that if you perform operation 's += t' the result is not the same as 's[len(s):len(s)] = x' unless 't == x'. This does not occur with the Python 3 docs, which uses exclusively 't' (not 'x'). However for people reading the Python 2 docs the variable mix-up could cause confusion. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 269080 nosy: Andrew Cameron, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Inconsistency in docs for list.extend versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27370> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
