Hi,

Thanks for the information. Still, it'd be nice to be able to see that in the html page itself, as it may not be obvious that it was in the source.

Regards,

Harley

As you can see, http://docs.python.org/2/_sources/library/hashlib.txt contains description
about changes in 2.7

Some directives are broken with Sphinx-1.2.
For example, deprecated-removed directive in following is also broken.
http://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html#urllib.request.Request.add_data

Shimizukawa (one of committer of Sphinx) pointed out that following change may break
pyspecific extension.

Hi,

I've noticed an issue with the page http://docs.python.org/2/library/hashlib.html

For the entry hash.update(arg), the end of the entry contains the text "Changed in version 2.7.". However, there appears to be no difference in the documentation between 2.7.6 and 2.6, and there's no link provided to change notes that would explain the change.

If this text is in error, I would suggest its removal, otherwise I'd suggest updating either the 2.6 documentation or the 2.7.6 documentation with the difference, or providing a link to the change notes that explain the change.

Best Regards,

Harley
