In section 6.4.1. it's said "Although certain modules are designed to export only names that follow certain patterns when you use import *, it is still considered bad practise in production code." "practise" should be "practice", as it's a noun.

Hi Rares thanks for reporting. While building a patch for this issue I found another occurrence of the error.

Thanks, this looks good to me, although let’s not touch the blank line at the end of the file.

Hi Martin, Removed the removing of the double new line at end of file.

Just OOC, what version of English are the docs supposed to use? In American English, noun vs. verb doesn't matter, it's always "practice" (there is no such word as "practise"). In this case it doesn't matter (it's a noun, and everyone agrees on the spelling), but is there a defined standard?

We at least used to point to Apple's style guide. I'm not sure where we point at the moment (it's in the documentation somewhere :). But yes, it's pretty much formal American English, though I'm sure there are places where other spelling has crept in.

I’m waiting for the 3.6 release candidate before pushing to the Py 3 branches.

Ned can correct me if I'm wrong, but you can push documentation patches without waiting for 3.6.0rc1.

Yes, there is no restriction on doc changes at the moment as long as they are relevant to 3.6.0.
