Apologies in advance, as this is my first post in the Python world and probably will come accross as a complaint or whining. However, its something I experience this for sometime now. Hence, wanted to share my view. I put my hand up already as I am an intermediate professional using Python unlike many of you.
The point I want to make is on the documentation availabel online, I find it on the ambigous side reason being we capture a decade or may be longer duration versions in the same document. Now, for someone who is still not that expert and wants to follow a version not older than Python 3.8.x and while you are looking for something particular and somehow forced to go through 3.xx and sometimes get lost while doing so.
Do you mean that you’re developing for Python 3.8, and the references to features in newer versions is distracting?
If so, you can read the docs specifically for 3.8. Then it only references features available in 3.8. You can find it from the version dropdown at the top of the page, or here:
Thanks Hugo, it does help. I guess google or other search engines point to the kind of documentation I been refering to - ssl — TLS/SSL wrapper for socket objects — Python 3.12.5 documentation.
Learning, certainly its best to explore the principal’s archives than fall back on external sources. I also found these very targeterd series called PEP, those are really amazing.
Thanks for the help!
