Hi Raymond,

I'm mentionning I've spotted the issue in my class just to say "it happen that newcomers don't get it, I've seen it". As I've seen it I want to fix it. I don't want to fix it only in my course (it does not scale) I want to fix it for everybody.

So what I'm trying to do in this issue (same with https://bugs.python.org/issue35200), is to ease the learning of newcomers *not* taking a course, those only relying on the official tutorial and documentation.

I don't have numbers, but I don't think all Python newcomers are taking Python courses, some are relying to tutorials (maybe our tutorial?) and the doc.

I just added a sentense in the linked PR (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/10604/files), as Lisa said it should be enough.
