[New-bugs-announce] [issue44038] In documentation Section 8.6, the definition of parameter_list need correcting

[Webb Scales]

New submission from Webb Scales <wscales at redhat.com>:

In Section 8.6 ("Function definitions"; https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#function-definitions), the definition of "parameter_list" looks slightly wrong:

parameter_list ::= defparameter ("," defparameter)* "," "/" ["," [parameter_list_no_posonly]] | parameter_list_no_posonly

The "/" (and the comma preceding it) is not a required component.  (Sorry, I'm afraid I'm not smart enough right now to suggest a correction.  :-p )
