[issue33324] Bug in documentation 3.6: string-methods - str.center

2018-04-21 Thread Alfonso Chavez

New submission from Alfonso Chavez :

Hi. In https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods says:

str.center(width[, fillchar])

But, I tried in Windows 10 and Ubuntu Server:

>>> var = 'Variable de prueba'
>>> str.center(50, var)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
TypeError: descriptor 'center' requires a 'str' object but received a 'int'

Then, I tried this:

>>> str.center(var, 50)
'Variable de prueba'

I think the documentation should read:
str.center(fillchar[, width])

Version in Windows: Python 3.6.5
Version in Ubuntu Server: Python 3.5.2
