Georg Brandl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Forgive me for playing stupid here, but I want to understand English better. I would fully understand the confusion had the sentence been
"dict.has_key(key) is equivalent to key in d, but it is deprecated." Terry's and Martin' example sentences are transferable to that. However, the actual sentence was "dict.has_key(key) is equivalent to key in d, but deprecated." Let me try to construct a similar sentence: "Guido was once a colleague of Joe, but much smarter." Can the "but" clause really be taken as referring to Joe? Or is it simply not an English sentence? ;) _______________________________________ 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
