@Toby Yes, that's a bug, I think. They would have also also shown up if you just reloaded the page. related to this i think: docs-beta.stackexchange.com/questions/517/…, marked as fixed but apparently not quite fixed

In the Intro to Python documentation, we offer separate examples for Python 2 and 3. Since the Python 3 example runs on both version 2 and 3, I think we should ditch the Python 2 only version of the example.

I know that it isn't quite that straight forward and that print('hello world') gets parsed differently between the Python 2 interpreter and the Python 3 interpreter, but that's such an obscure detail that's unimportant in 99.9999% of cases. Somebody reading the Intro to Python documentation definitely doesn't need to know about such subtle details as the Python 3 interpreter seeing it as a function call while the Python 2 interpreter sees it as a statement with pointless ()

@ArtOfWarfare I agree but I've included the from __future__ import print_function in most of my examples when I use print.

but in the introduction it seems a bit overkill :-)

@MSeifert from __future__ import print_function isn't necessary to make print('hello world') work in Python 2. You only need to do that if you want to suppress the line ending or print to a file instead.

you're right ... totally forgot that ... :)

I'll edit

@ArtOfWarfare I've edited those posts, if you wanted to ditch the introduction one yourself I'll retract mine. :)

if an example is inferior to official documentation should I reject it or approve it and immediatly flag for "unclear"?

or approve and immediatly edit it myself? ^^

if you think the example is needed & can make the edit, approve and edit

if you can't make the edit (but still think it's a good thing to be an example), approve and flag

ok. Thank you!

are comments on a rejected edit visible for the proposer? so that I can just give as rejection reason: See inline comments

yes, approved and rejected changes remain visible

@KevinMontrose again: Thank you :)

is there a lag between posting a question and having the question visible? I can't see my new question in the overview but the direct link works: docs-beta.stackexchange.com/questions/680/…

ok, doesn't matter - now it's listed.
