A.M. Kuchling added the comment: "Why, this is a simple docstring change. How difficult can it be?", I thought.
Ah ha ha ha. Here's a patch against the 3.5 branch. It should also apply cleanly to 3.6 or 3.7, except for a little Argument Clinic noise. The patch changes 3 occurrences of the truncate() docstring in Lib/_pyio.py, and 1 each in Modules/_io/{bytesio.c,fileio.c,iobase.c,stringio.c}. Whew! Do we want to change all of these occurrences, or just the one specific case of StringIO? It seemed to me that we want to change them all. ---------- nosy: +akuchling Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file45375/issue8840.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8840> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
