What to say ? As an old-time pyton user (well... 7+ years now) and meta-programming addict, it's nothing new to me, but the fact that you didn't realize it is certainly a clear indication that documentation is not really up to date, so yes, submitting a patch is certainly a pretty good idea. > Sorry for the spam -- hope someone besides me learns from it! What's to be learned is mostly that we (the whole community) should take more care of the doc (which I never contributed FWIW, so I'm the first one that should feel in guilt here). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
