R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Right, the join behavior is correct. But the definition of a *default* (aka sentinel) value is that it is returned *unchanged*. It is counter intuitive that if you pass a list of strings as a default, that what you get back is those strings joined by ','. But that is the released behavior. so we have to live with it.
I think the doc patch is OK except that it should be 'iterable' rather than 'iterator'. However, it might make the whole method clearer if we say instead: Return the value of the header *name*, or *default* if there is no header matching *name*. If there is more than one header with the name *name*, return all of the values joined by ', '. If 'default' is any iterable other than a single string, its elements are similarly returned joined by commas. ---------- priority: -> normal _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8572> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
