Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Francesco Ricciardi (nerby) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: file built-in object is after file() function

Initial Comment: In section 2.1 of the HTML and PDF-A4 library references (so supposedly in all lib references), in the description of the file() function, it says that "Return a new file object (described earlier under Built-in Types)", but the Built-in Types section is later not earlier.

That's not what he's complaining about, though.

Seems to me that just removing the 'earlier' would suffice.

Forward references are only problematic in the tutorial. The rest of the docs tend to be used in a random access fashion rather than sequentially. That's a good thing because forward references are everywhere.
