New submission from Ned Batchelder: The docs for statistics.mean say, "Return the sample arithmetic mean of data, a sequence or iterator of real-valued numbers." Most of the functions in statistics have a `data` argument, but this function is the only one that says, "a sequence or iterator." The examples all show lists.
The page would be better if the introduction mentioned what `data` could be, instead of having to guess that median can take an iterator because mean says that it can. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 273318 nosy: docs@python, nedbat priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Make the documentation for statistics' data argument clearer. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27825> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
