* Issue #25179: Preparatory cleanup of existing docs on string formattingMartin Panter2016-02-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | * Various sections were pointing to the section on the string.Formatter class, when the section on the common format string syntax is probably more appropriate * Fix references to various format() functions and methods * Nested replacement fields may contain conversions and format specifiers, and this is tested; see Issue #19729 for instance

| | | | | | Remove the advice to never use relative imports; it is a leftover from 2.x implicit relative imports. Remove the advice to locally import modules in __init__, it is a strange practice. Remove the advice to use "from ... import *" with some modules.
* #20135: FAQ entry for list mutation. (See also 6375bf34fff6.)R David Murray2014-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | I accidentally committed this in 6375bf34fff6; this changeset addresses the last review comments on the patch. This is a perennial question and something someone opens a ticket for probably every other month or so, so I'm surprised we didn't already have a FAQ entry for it. The original patch was written by M. Votz, refined first by Ezio Melotti and further refined by me.
