[issue23512] List of builtins is not alphabetical on https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html
New submission from Edward D'Souza: The list of built-in functions at the top of https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html is not alphabetical. Specifically, (apply, coerce, intern, buffer) allow appear out of order at the end of the list, instead of where they should be alphabetically. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 236505 nosy: docs@python, edsouza priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: List of builtins is not alphabetical on https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue23512> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Edward D'Souza added the comment: Doesn't make sense to me. The page says "They are listed here in alphabetical order.", which isn't true. Furthermore, not putting them in order screws up people who assume it is in alphabetical order and try to search for a function with their eyes. If they are so special, put them in a separate table. This inconsistency is simply disrespectful to the reader, IMO. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue23512> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Edward D'Souza added the comment: I think putting them in a separate table is good, but I think it makes more sense to appear right below the existing table at the top of the page. For better or worse, these "non-essential" functions are still builtins in Python 2. It would be disconcerting if you went to this page looking for a builtin (eg. coerce) and couldn't find it at the top of the page with the other builtins. Above all, the list of "builtins" should be accurate as to what builtins actually exist in Python 2. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue23512> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
