New submission from Martin Manns <mma...@gmx.net>: In the Python 2.6.4 documentation "2. Built-in Functions" at http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html, the section about the xrange function (paragraph "CPython implementation detail") contains the following code:
islice(count(start, step), (stop-start+step-1)//step) However, count only accepts one parameter, so that this solution does not work. Furthermore, islice only accepts positive values for step. Therefore, the code does not work. I tested this with Python 2.5.4 and Python 2.6.4 on Debian Linux (AMD64). ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 97912 nosy: georg.brandl, mm severity: normal status: open title: Code in xrange documentation does not work versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7721> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
