not particularly useful, just nuke it. Adapted the doc strings too.

a7874d1505
Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable
...
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...
1998-06-22 14:07:36 +00:00

1998-06-17 22:37:26 +00:00
777dcc6b21
Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to

and allows the info to work through this section.
1998-05-11 19:51:11 +00:00

Don't use \samp when \code is better.
...
Consistently use ' instead of ": this conforms to my unofficial stance that
constants should be presented using the repr() whenever it makes sense. This
isn't because I think repr() is the greatest thing since spam, just that it's
an easy to adopt consistency standard. (It also holds no new surprises!)
