| These are minor corrections to the What's New in Python 2.6[b3] doc. Note: the PEP references are to the headers in What's New, not the actual PEPs - PEP 371: The multiprocessing Package - "apply() or apply_async, adding a single request, and map() or map_async()" All four function names should link to the Pool docs. Currently apply and map link to the docs for the builtins of the same name; the other two don't link. - PEP 3101: Advanced String Formatting - In the first example, "uid = 'root'" is not needed - PEP 3112: Byte Literals - In the second example, the value of b should not have a space in the middle, i.e. bytearray(b'\xe2\x87\xaf\xe3\x89\x84') instead of bytearray(b'\xe2\x87\xaf \xe3\x89\x84') - Other Language Changes - next(*iterator*, [*default*]) - the asterisks are not needed - "letting complex(repr(cmplx)) will now round-trip values" -> so complex(repr(cmplx)) will now round-trip values - Interpreter Changes - "**encoding** or **encoding**:**errorhandler**" - Are the ** truly part of the syntax? - New, Improved, and Deprecated Modules - heapq.merge() returns a generator; the example should be list(heapq.merge([1, 3, 5, 9], [2, 8, 16])) - All the new itertools functions return iterators, not lists; their examples should also be wrapped in list() - itertools.product([1,2], repeat=3)) <- extra ) - shutil - "ignore_patterns() takes an arbitrary number of glob-style patterns and will ignore any files and directories that match this pattern." -> ignore_patterns() takes an arbitrary number of glob-style patterns and returns a callable which will ignore any files and directories that match this pattern. - The future_builtins module - I think all the ** are extraneous. |

| Many of the items are fixed in rev66217; thanks! A few of them were fixed in the revisions I did this past weekend. Not fixed: * the links for apply() and map() in the PEP 371 section. Georg, is there a way to override where the methods link to, or at least prevent them from being turned into links? * the itertools section uses the -> to indicate the resulting stream of values; this is why those examples aren't written in the interpreter-prompt style. So I'm not going to change the examples by adding list(). |

| For the itertools examples, perhaps you could remove the [ ] from the result text so it doesn't look like a list. For example: itertools.izip_longest([1,2,3], [1,2,3,4,5]) -> (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (None, 4), (None, 5) |

| In rev66217, the itertools example for "With two iterables, 2N-tuples are returned." has a typo: itertools(product([1,2], [3,4], repeat=2) should be: itertools.product([1,2], [3,4], repeat=2) |
