http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/stdtypes.html#str.join

str.join(iterable)¶

    Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in the iterable iterable. A TypeError will be raised if there are any non-string values in seq, including bytes objects. The separator between elements is the string providing this method.


"non-string values in seq" -> "non-string values in iterable"

See #13754 for commits (not here because 'close' != 'closes' or closed')

You put '*' instead of '#' in the commit message.

Also, I don't think you should close more than one issue in one commit.

I see the two as really one issue -- minor corrections to the string section of stdtype.rst -- that py.user happened to have filed as two.
But I could have left out the closes and done at least one explicitly.
Or I could have closed this and said I was consolidating with #13754.
Thanks for pointing out the typo.
