Huh. I just checked help() in Python 3.7, and it's the other way around. | float(x=0, /) | int([x]) -> integer > Would there be any error in describing »float« using > > |class float(x=0.0) > > ? I don't think so. This is a strange inconsistency in the docs, given that they behave the same way. Would be worth opening a tracker issue, mentioning all four things you found.
