Section 4.1 of the Python FAQ (http://www.python.org/dev/faq/) contains a grammar error: The sentence I am referring to says: "If you are developing on OS X for Python 2.x and will not be working with the OS X-specific modules from the standard library, then consider using the --without-toolbox-glue flag to faster compilation time." How about instead: "If you are developing on OS X for Python 2.x and will not be working with the OS X-specific modules from the standard library, then consider using the --without-toolbox-glue flag for a faster compile." (Note: Taken from the FAQ as of Jan 20, 2011) |

>for a faster compile Compile isn't a noun; the most grammatically correct sentences would be "for faster compilation." |

I agree with what Rafe said. |

In general, the website is separate from Python code and documentation and website issues should be sent to webmaster@python.org, not here, as code/doc committers cannot change web pages. However, this particular page (dev/faq) has being pulled into the (hg) repository as part of expanded docs for developers. It is possible that 'to faster compilation time' has already been corrected. Brett? (and will the web page go away or be replaced?) |

That entire portion of the FAQ has been removed as it was redundant compared to other parts of the devguide. Closing as out of date. |
