No, it is (somewhat) unique to tex. If you write `word' tex would turn that into a pair of opposing quotes in the typeset document, as opposed to 'word' (the convention in regular text/emails/posts/etc) where you'd just see ascii quotes. tex would render 'word' as a closing quote both before and after word, which looks weird in typeset text. There's no bug here; as you say we aren't interested in making the docstrings parseable as restructured text (at least, I'm not). For me, this is about getting rid of the now-odd-looking tex leftovers and making the ascii styling consistent with the bulk of our docstrings. It's not a big deal, though. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue28710> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
