Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment: The patch, to an unspecified version of 2.7, changes 'str' to 'string', so I presume that is what you meant. The current repository code already says 'string' for 2.7, 3.2, and 3.3. This is what you should see in the current release candidates, including 2.7.3rc2 ---------- assignee: -> docs at python components: +Documentation nosy: +bethard, docs at python, terry.reedy resolution: -> out of date stage: -> patch review status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report at bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14391> _______________________________________
