| help() says "This is the online help utility." even though it isn't. I think this sentence should be hanged to "This is the offline help utility." | ||

| Not sure "offline" is more true here; maybe "integrated" is better. Also not sure the sentence deserves the death penalty. | ||

| Oh you youngsters. "Offline" doesn't mean "not on the Internet", it means "not on a computer" :) Yes, "interactive" would be clearer. | ||

| New changeset 1ff29f3b8da7 by Georg Brandl in branch 'default': Closes #15162: the meaning of "online" has shifted a bit in recent years, use "interactive" instead. http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/1ff29f3b8da7 |
