[Python-bugs-list] [Bug #122176] Error in rotor module documentation

[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #122176, was updated on 2000-Nov-11 03:00
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Documentation
Status: Closed
Resolution: Fixed
Bug Group: None
Priority: 5
Summary: Error in rotor module documentation

Details: A minor error in the description of the "decrypt" and "decryptmore" methods in the rotor module documentation :

decrypt (ciphertext) 
     Reset the rotor object to its initial state and decrypt ciphertext, returning a string containing the ciphertext. The plaintext string will always be the same length as the ciphertext. 

decryptmore (ciphertext) 
     Decrypt ciphertext without resetting the rotor object, and return a string containing the ciphertext. 

In both cases the returned string is the *clear text*, not the *ciphertext* (fortunately enough :-)

Comment:
Fixed and Closed, in librotor.tex rev 1.17.  Used "plaintext" instead of "clear text" for consistency with the rest of the rotor docs.
