Well, it's listed under a section called "Functions", so the reader could be forgiven for assuming that it's a function. From a high level point of view, it is -- you call it and it returns something. Concretely, it happens to be implemented as a class, but that's not something you need to know in order to use it, so the docs don't mention it. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
