New submission from Joshua Honeycutt <joshua.honeyc...@gmail.com>:
In python 2 documentation 19.7.1.6 (https://docs.python.org/2/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#parsing-xml-with-namespaces) a second argument (ns) is passed to find and findall. However 19.7.3.2 (https://docs.python.org/2/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#xml.etree.ElementTree.Element.find) only specifies the single match argument. If we compare the python 3 documentation the namespaces argument is included in the find method. (https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#xml.etree.ElementTree.Element.find) Maybe the tutorial was created for python 3 version? I assume the function arguments are automatically generated, but I have not tested or tried these functions in python 2. I just stumbled on the docs while working with python 3. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 329174 nosy: docs@python, epakai priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Python 2 xml.etree.ElementTree documentation tutorial uses undocumented arguments versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35151> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
