New submission from Lew Kurtz <lew.kurtz at icloud.com>:

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html
uses ... to mean 5 or 6 different things. Since ... is continuation prompt, some of these other uses on that page are confusing - at least they were to this newbie. The most confusing are where it is used to hide output in the error messages.

If someone has the patience to send me pointers on how to fix this, I would love to fix this myself. -Lew

ps. the section headers in chapter 3 also need some work, 3.1.1 is the only section that is really about python being a calculator 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 don't seem very 'calculator-y' - Id like to fix this too.
