I'm sure I will regret this in the morning . . . . Xah, since the docs are a community effort, you surely can (and have) pointed to genuine blemishes in them. I am however at a loss to understand just what the perceived problem is here. 5 short sentences, one defining a term, 1 stipulating the interface, two pointing out and clearing up a potential cause of confusion, and a reference. All are clear, and score quite well on the content:words measure to boot. (Certainly it is clearer and more informative than the words either you or I have here added.) What's your complaint? Not enough cursing? Best, Brian vdB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
