New submission from Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com>: The documentation for the readline module is a bit too minimal.
1) function 'add_history' is described at the end of the documentation, not near the other functions for manipulation the history stack. 2) the index for remove_history_item and replace_history_item is 0- based, while the index for get_history_item is 1-based. The latter is a confusing API in the underlying readline library and should IMO be described in Python's documentation. (If readline were a new addition to the stdlib I'd prefer to fix the interface, but that would have too many backward compatibility issues at this point in time). ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 92893 nosy: georg.brandl, ronaldoussoren severity: normal status: open title: readline documenation needs work type: feature request versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6953> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
