New submission from Martin Meredith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I'm a new python user (developing in python) and I recently had a discussion with someone that my main issue with python is finding where the functions are that I need to use.
An example (probably not the best) - I need to split a filename so that I can have the extension and the rest of the filename seperate. Fine.. I google, and I get the following page:- http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/os-path.html Now, that lists the function splitext - which is what I need - but it's not clear on the page where that function is located (os.path) I think that this should be made clearer somehow - as it seems to me that you have to go through about 3 pages trying to work out where it is (or work it out from the URL) - which isn't very intuitive, espescially for a new user, who doesn't actually know where all the functions exist. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 76747 nosy: georg.brandl, mez severity: normal status: open title: Python Documentation not Newb Friendly type: feature request _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4488> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
