New submission from Bk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello,
I would like to contribute to the development of the Python documentation so I am reporting two typos. The first one is in the documentation and the second one is in the module ntpath. 1) There's a typo under "The Python Tutorial" > "Using the Python Interpreter" > "Invoking the Interpreter". The sentence with the typo is positioned almost at the top, and starts like this: "On Windows machines, the Python installation is usually placed in C:Python30 ..." The above text lacks a backslash in the path "C:Python30". Please add a backslash to this path so that it would be written as "C:\Python30". The text should be written like this: "On Windows machines, the Python installation is usually placed in C:\Python30 ..." 2) Please take a look at the source code of the module ntpath. The line 63 has a typo in the comment: # set to 1 iff b makes path irrelevant which should be # set to 1 if b makes path irrelevant Please note that the word 'iff' is fixed to 'if'. Maybe just two little questions at the end... Please see the source code of the module ntpath and note the line 72. Since the word in the comment (i.e. 'But') is a continuation of the same sentence, doesn't it suppose to be written with the lower-case initial as 'but'? And also, why do some comments in modules start with the lower-case initial and end without the dot, and others with the upper-case initial and end with a dot? It would be nice if those things would be conventionalized. I really don't understand when a comment must be written as a sentence with its full orthographical rules. Please explain. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 73960 nosy: Bk, georg.brandl severity: normal status: open title: Typos in Documentation versions: Python 3.0, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3983> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
