[docs] Tutorial 6.1.2

Thu Apr 21 21:09:54 CEST 2011

This is not a report of a bug in Python, but a criticism of the 
phrasing in the documentation.
In Python Tutorial 6.1.2 (docs.python.org/py3k/tutorial/ 
modules.html#the-module-search-path) the second paragraph beginning 
with "Actually," is very alarming and disconcerting. It seems to mean 
that the preceding paragraph is not "actually" true and should be 
disregarded! I doubt that's what was intended, but I cannot quite 
understand just what the intended meaning was. How do these two 
paragraphs relate to one another? Are they both true? Is each one 
only partially true? Is there supposed to be some way of combining or 
synthesizing them into one coherent explanation? If so, it is not 
adequately communicated by the word "actually".
