Message 143414 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

I agree that all table entries should link to the entry in the same file. This is fixed in 3.2 and 3.3, with a bit of reST kludgery. I’ll backport to 2.7 if there is no negative feedback.

range() definitely needs a forward reference to 4.6 sequence types bool() lacks forward references; it could have one to 4.2 Bool ops and 4.11.9 Bool values I have added links in a subsequent commit.

object() -- no where to go. type(n,b,d) has no forward references as there is no where to go exactly I think this deserves another report.

slice() only has a reference to the glossary; it has no entry in Ch.4. "Slice objects have read-only data attributes start, stop and step which merely return the argument values (or their default). They have no other explicit functionality" is slightly wrong since there is the .indices method. Ditto.
