Says the person who doesn't want to attach an identity to his messages.
(Yes, that's ad hominem if used to dismiss your argument; but it's *you*
that is raising “know how to use the internet”, so at that point you
become fair game, IMO.)

Who is “you”? Someone who knows how to use the internet surely can tell
that comp.lang.python isn't the place to come expecting *changes* in the
Python tutorial.

You started out asking how to *interpret* it, which is fine for this
forum; but discussing it here isn't going to lead automatically to any
*midification* to a document developed within the core of Python.
