New submission from Mitchell Model <mlm at acm.org>:
The last two sentences of the last paragraph of the documentation of
urllib.request.urlopen are shown below. I have broken up the text to
comment on places where it appears to be garbled. It might be easier to
just rewrite the two sentences rather than trying to make the
corrections I'm suggesting.
The urlopen function from the previous version,
"the previous version" --> "previous versions"
Python 2.6 and earlier, of the module urllib has been discontinued as
urlopen can return the file-object as the previous.
either one or more words are missing from the end of the
sentence or the last part of the sentence starting with "as" needs
repair
The proxy handling,
"handling" --> "handler"?
which in earlier
"earlier" --> "earlier versions"?
was passed as a dict parameter to urlopen can be availed
need comma after "urlopen"
"availed" --> "obtained"
or better, perhaps: "can be obtained by using ProxyHandler
objects" instead of "by the use of...."
by the use of ProxyHandler objects.
