> The sentence being changed was perfectly and mathematically correct. I'm not so sure about that anymore. Reading the post in http://www.englishforums.com/English/RepetitionSubjectPronoun/cqjlw/post.htm it now seems to me that the part after the comma is a separate sentence, and both the subject pronoun and the verb are omitted (as an ellipsis). So the full sentence would indeed read "dict.has_key(key) is equivalent to key in d, but it is deprecated." which then would be ambiguous as discussed. _______________________________________ 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
