I known index() does not modify the sequence itself. my question is so
why the doc put the index() method in the mutable sequence types list?
Because once upon a time, only lists and not tuples had the method.
Ah, okay. Now I understand your question. I don't know really. I
suppose it could just as well go under the more general table for
"6.6. Sequence Types". I'd guess it's under Mutable Sequence Types for
convenience's sake since .remove() is mutable-only and makes reference
to the same footnote. You could file a documentation bug:
http://bugs.python.org
I already did.
http://bugs.python.org/issue4966
Producing an edited version of the doc text from my suggestions is on my
todo list if no one beats me to it. I need to learn .rst better, though.
