Terry J. Reedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I believe "deprecated" at the end is the sort of dangling modifier deprecated by English style books I have read. I felt it to be sufficiently awkward and potentially confusing, at least for a moment, to be worth a few minutes to report and change. Another suggestion for improvement:
"dict.has_key(key), now deprecated, is equivalent to key in dict, the recommended replacement." With or without the (optional) final phrase, this is smoother and impossible to misread. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4243> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
