Let me expose one another fucking incompetent part of Python doc, in
illustration of the Info Tech industry's masturbation and ignorant
nature.
The official Python doc on regex syntax (
http://python.org/doc/2.4/lib/re-syntax.html ) says:
--begin quote--
"|"
A|B, where A and B can be arbitrary R
This is nice! I just might understand regex eventually.

egregious errors and inconsistencies.
For example, on the âModule Contentsâ page (
http://python.org/doc/2.4.1/lib/node111.html ), the c
To add to what others have said:
* Typos and lack of spell-checking, such as "occurances" vs "occurrences"
* Poor grammar, such as "Other characters that has special meaning

If he deem it proper, he will paypal me $100 bucks, and you can thank
him for the instigation and betterment of the Python doc.
Meanwhile, feel free to incorporate my edits into python doc.
