[issue8267] Tutorial secion on dictionary keys recommends sort instead of sorted
New submission from Kent Engström : The 2.[567] documentation recommends the use of the sort() method to get a sorted list of dictionary keys. If would be less confusing to new users if we recommended the sorted() functions instead. The corresponding piece of Python 3 documentation already uses the sorted() function. -- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation files: dict.patch keywords: patch messages: 101953 nosy: georg.brandl, kent severity: normal status: open title: Tutorial secion on dictionary keys recommends sort instead of sorted versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file16699/dict.patch ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue8267> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue8267] Tutorial section on dictionary keys recommends sort instead of sorted
Kent Engström added the comment: Is should have mentioned that we're discussion a section of the tutorial concerned with dictionaries. It is not a section on lists, sequences or sorting as such. My colleague, who asked me for help after getting confused by sort, was trying to loop over the keys in the dictionary in sorted order. In that context, sorted is superior to sort. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue8267> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
