New submission from Andrés Delfino <adelf...@gmail.com>: I think the idea of having "list" inside parentheses is to document that in case of sequences, only "one-expression" expression lists are legal.
That being said, IMHO, explaining that in actual prose would be better, but removing the parentheses (taking into account that there's a description of what the expected evaluation of sequences subscription expression lists is) is enough, plus, it's the production list term's name. If a prose is considered better, it could read: "If the primary is a sequence, the expression list must be formed by only one expression, and it must evaluate to an integer or a slice (as discussed in the following section)." Couldn't find the original author. It was committed before the move to mercurial, and I don't know if there's a subversion repo still available to see historical changes. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 319460 nosy: adelfino, docs@python priority: normal pull_requests: 7295 severity: normal status: open title: doc Remove parentheses from type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33852> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
