Summary: Py Lib Ref, 3.6.1 String Methods startswith() typo
Initial Comment:
Python Library Reference
Section 3.6.1 "String Methods"
=====
startswith(prefix[, start[, end]])
Return True if string starts with the prefix, otherwise return False.
prefix can also be a tuple of __suffixes__ to look for. With optional start,
test string beginning at that position. With optional end, stop comparing
string at that position.
=====
...Believe "suffixes" should be corrected to "prefixes"
(Likely a copy and paste oversight from the description for mirror method "
endswith(suffix[, start[, end]])")
Typo report of Jan. 2007 noted as closed, but error is still present.

It is fixed, but in the development docs. The 2.5 docs will get updated
with 2.5.2.
