Wolfgang Maier added the comment: I studied the github PR and thought about it carefully, and that made me come to believe that the chapter deserves a larger rewrite not just of one section, but of several. I'm attaching my proposed change as a "classical" patch here for discussion. I hope that's still a valid way to do this as I did not want to mess with the original PR by Marco and, instead, wanted to see my proposal discussed first.
Some of the changes I made: - I don't think range() really deserves its own section in a chapter about control flow, so I removed most of it and linked to the relevant stdtypes section instead - moved the definition of an iterable up into the for loop section - restructured the for loop section to discuss Python for loops first and only compare them to Pascal/C afterwards - moved the example for modifying a list while iterating over it to the datastructures chapter I find this new version much clearer, but lets see what people here think. ---------- nosy: +wolma Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file46681/controlflow_datastructures.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29414> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
