STINNER Victor added the comment: Martin: "Victor, what changes to the doc strings are you talking about?"
See attached check_bisect_doc.py script. Before: --- === bisect_right === bisect_right(a, x[, lo[, hi]]) -> index Return the index where to insert item x in list a, assuming a is sorted. The return value i is such that all e in a[:i] have e <= x, and all e in a[i:] have e > x. So if x already appears in the list, i points just beyond the rightmost x already there Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the slice of a to be searched. === insort_right === insort_right(a, x[, lo[, hi]]) Insert item x in list a, and keep it sorted assuming a is sorted. If x is already in a, insert it to the right of the rightmost x. Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the slice of a to be searched. === bisect_left === bisect_left(a, x[, lo[, hi]]) -> index Return the index where to insert item x in list a, assuming a is sorted. The return value i is such that all e in a[:i] have e < x, and all e in a[i:] have e >= x. So if x already appears in the list, i points just before the leftmost x already there. Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the slice of a to be searched. === insort_left === insort_left(a, x[, lo[, hi]]) Insert item x in list a, and keep it sorted assuming a is sorted. If x is already in a, insert it to the left of the leftmost x. Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the slice of a to be searched. --- After: --- === bisect_right === Return the index where to insert item x in list a, assuming a is sorted. a The list in which x is to be inserted. x The value to be inserted. lo Lower bound, defaults to 0. hi Upper bound, defaults to -1 (meaning len(a)). The return value i is such that all e in a[:i] have e <= x, and all e in a[i:] have e > x. So if x already appears in the list, i points just beyond the rightmost x already there. Optional args lo and hi bound the slice of a to be searched. === insort_right === Insert item x in list a, and keep it sorted assuming a is sorted. a The list in which x will be inserted. x The value to insert. lo Lower bound, defaults to 0. hi Upper bound, defaults to -1 (meaning len(a)). If x is already in a, insert it to the right of the rightmost x. Optional args lo and hi bound the slice of a to be searched. === bisect_left === Return the index where to insert item x in list a, assuming a is sorted. a The list in which x is to be inserted. x The value to be inserted. lo Lower bound, defaults to 0. hi Upper bound, defaults to -1 (meaning len(a)). The return value i is such that all e in a[:i] have e < x, and all e in a[i:] have e >= x. So if x already appears in the list, i points just before the leftmost x already there. Optional args lo and hi bound the slice of a to be searched. === insort_left === Insert item x in list a, and keep it sorted assuming a is sorted. a The list in which x will be inserted. x The value to insert. lo Lower bound, defaults to 0. hi Upper bound, defaults to -1 (meaning len(a)). If x is already in a, insert it to the left of the leftmost x. Optional args lo and hi bound the slice of a to be searched. --- The output is different. I suggest to not touch the docstring in the patch upgrading _bisect.c to Argument Clinic to ease the review. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file45642/check_bisect_doc.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28754> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
