New submission from Andrés Delfino <adelf...@gmail.com>: As this text is phrased:
CPython implementation detail: While a list is being sorted, the effect of attempting to mutate, or even inspect, the list is undefined. The C implementation of Python makes the list appear empty for the duration, and raises ValueError if it can detect that the list has been mutated during a sort. I take it that the first sentence is a general comment for all implementations, as the second sentence does define a specific behavior in CPython, so it's not undefined there. I propose taking the first sentence out of the impl-detail directive. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 324259 nosy: adelfino, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: doc Move comment about list sorting behavour outside impl-detail directive 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/issue34531> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
