David W. Lambert <lamber...@corning.com> added the comment: I completely agree that this is a documentation issue.
Also, or perhaps for foolish completeness, in http://docs.python.org/3.0/library/stdtypes.html we would point out that the following group of string methods also work for bytes and bytearrays. Of these, only str type has format method. "String Methods String objects support the methods listed below. Note that none of these methods take keyword arguments. In addition, Python’s strings support the sequence type methods described in the Sequence Types — str, bytes, bytearray, list, tuple, range section. To output formatted strings, see the String Formatting section. Also, see the re module for string functions based on regular expressions." ---------- nosy: +LambertDW _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5416> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
