The page at (http://docs.python.org/reference/datamodel.html) says:
"In x * y, if one operator is a sequence that implements sequence repetition".

Obviuosly, it should be changed to:
"In x * y, if one operand is a sequence that implements sequence repetition".

Thanks for catching this.  Is this the only instance of the typo, or are there any others in reference/datamodel or library/operator?

From a cursory look at reference/datamodel and library/operator, I see no other instances of this error. I didn't read every word, however (just grepped for possible operator/operand mismatches).

Also, AFAICS this error is only in 2.7 - the 3.x docs don't have the relevant paragraphs at all.
