[docs] [issue21554] Possible Error in "Brief Tour of the Standard Library"

[Erik Kusko]

New submission from Erik Kusko:

In https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/stdlib.html, there is an example:

>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.copyfile('data.db', 'archive.db')
>>> shutil.move('/build/executables', 'installdir')

Should it not be:

>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.copyfile('data.db', 'archive.db')
'archive.db'
>>> shutil.move('/build/executables', 'installdir')
'installdir'

?  I am run under Windows, so I don't know if the behavior is different than under Linux.  Under Windows the destination file and destination directory, respectively, are echoed to stdout.
