From 7a4e2d1751e7b261cd13685d488504e6d5a7ebee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Kuchling Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 15:45:02 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Wording changes to pathlib docs. Only possibly-controversial change: joinpath() was described as: "Calling this method is equivalent to indexing the path with each of the *other* arguments in turn." 'Indexing' is an odd word to use, because you can't subscript Path or PurePath objects, so I changed it to "combining". --- Doc/library/pathlib.rst | 7 +++---- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/library/pathlib.rst b/Doc/library/pathlib.rst index 04f6c422d1..7582315a4f 100644 --- a/Doc/library/pathlib.rst +++ b/Doc/library/pathlib.rst @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ The main point of entry is the :class:`Path` class, which will instantiate a :ref:`concrete path ` for the current platform. .. note:: - This module module has been included in the standard library on a + This module has been included in the standard library on a :term:`provisional basis `.
