Le 23/12/2010 20:55, Antoine Pitrou a écrit :

def index(self): - """index(self)""" + """someobject[self]"""

This is misleading as to what the method actually does, Really? Unless I misunderstood the docs, index is used when the object is used as an index (or with bin or oct, but I didn’t want to complicate the docstring, just fix it).

In case Antoine's objection isn't clear yet: index does not perform the actual indexing, as opposed to what the docstring suggests.
