Currently Python documentation uses four type of dashes for same meaning: 1. Hyphen with spaces. 2. En-dash with spaces. 3. Em-dash with spaces. 4. Em-dash without spaces. Definitely the first case is just wrong and other three cases should be unified. Here is a patch which replaces spaced hyphens, en-dashes and em-dashes to em-dashes without spaces.
